As photographic trainers we had been looking for a good instructional DVD for some time. Then we found "Everyday Digital Photography".
Be prepared to learn some simple techniques to dramatically improve the quality of your photographs. This DVD will give you advice on buying a camera, then how to use it to take more rewarding shots. It is designed for the beginner upwards, and only uses a standard compact digital camera, which might suit you if you are not using a D-SLR.
This is excellent and more than covers everything you need to know. In addition, it also includes a bonus DVD on using Adobe Photoshop Elements and Picassa. You won't be disappointed. A total of 280 minutes on 2 DVDs.
Review comments include:
“The DVD Equivalent to the Dummies Guide Books”
“Fantastic guide, takes the confusion out of photography on your computer”
“Highly recommended”
