Explore how your camera's advanced settings can be used in real world situations and learn how different camera functions influence the final image.

This DVD is not for novice photographers. It assumes you have a working knowledge of digital photography and the controls on your camera. As an example, our section on color management is not a step by step process of how to calibrate your equipment. Instead, it is a real world discussion of the major stumbling blocks you are likely to encounter as your image moves from the camera through your editing software, and on to a printer, a magazine, or the web.

We cover difficult lighting situations you are likely to encounter. You will learn how settings such as exposure compensation and white balance, as well as physical filters on your Speedlight, can enhance or detract from your photos.

Our section on using Commander Mode with wireless remote speedlights includes examples for using the camera controls to get great shots. The discussion of the Creative Lighting System offers an approach you can replicate and then modify as you introduce speedlights and diffusers into your creative bag of tricks.

Think of this DVD as a call to action. Watch a section, then shoot, shoot, shoot. The technical information on the DVD, along with your active participation should take your photography to new heights.
