2.2. Putting It All Together

 < Day Day Up > 

By now you've committed everything you learned in this chapter to memory, right? Well, probably not. That's why this book is a pocket guide and not a desktop reference. Keep it in your camera bag, backpack, or back pocket so you can refer to it over and over again.

As you continue to get comfortable with this information, you'll begin to use many of these functions in combination with one another to achieve the effect you want. For example, you may use both the white balance and exposure compensation adjustments to create a dark, moody indoor portrait. The next day, you may use the fill flash mode and aperture priority to shoot stunning bridal portraits at a wedding.

One of the great advantages of digital photography is that you can experiment with these settings, and it doesn't cost you a penny. Plus, you get immediate feedback from your efforts.

In Chapter 3, you'll start putting your camera knowledge to use as you learn many of the techniques that pros use to create great images. So recharge those lithiums, and let's get to it.
