If your mother’s thinking of moving up from her point-and-shoot to be with you in your DSLR photography, there’s a nice little microsite from Canon that can help her get up to speed quickly.
Tell her Canon can teach her how to Discover The Real Joy of Photography (that’s the microsite’s name) by using a digital SLR camera instead of a crappy little old P&S. It teaches the basics of digital SLR photography via online tutorials, and it’s FREE!
The fun tutorials are broken down into 4 parts:
Part 1 – Fun and Easy Digital SLRs (Basic Introduction)
Part 2 – Using Camera Features for Better Photos (Practical Applications)
Part 3 – Choosing Lenses for Different Kinds of Photos (Interchangeable Lens)
Part 4 – Printing Photos
There’s even a photography terminology reference that can introduce your Mom to the jargon of digital SLR shooting. Of course, it’s not only for your mother; it’s for you too if your new to DSLRs.
