Three Things To Know When Using a DSLR

Upgrading to a Digital SLR from a Point and Shoot can be a great way to advance in your photography skills; unfortunately it can sometimes also become a bit confusing as well.
White Balance, noise, aperture, ISO and shutter speed are terms and settings that are all part of making a good photo. Becoming familiar with the settings on your DSLR is the first step in making a good photo into taking a great photo, but with so many settings where do you begin? In the next few weeks I will be posting information about the three most important settings for a DSLR, the aperture setting, ISO setting and the shutter speed. These settings are different from each other, but at the same time work together, changing one will affect the other. Like I said before, it can get a little confusing (at least it was for me) but with time and a lot of practice, you will be on your way to taking great photos. Yes, you can set your camera to one of the preset modes and let it determine it all, but what fun is that, and if that is the case, what is the point of upgrading to a DSLR anyways.
