These are test shots straight out of the camera, a Canon Digital Rebel XTi. I was teaching someone on Monday how to use her camera’s light meter and explaining exposure. Before I embarked on this instruction I gave myself a rundown on the whole Canon DSLR equipment line, not just because I’m a research nerd, but to prove that it’s not about brand loyalty but about learning how to use a device to the best of its ability, no matter what the make or model happens to be. If I have a proper understanding of photography then I should be able to show anyone how to shoot with anything.
First goal? Learn enough to take the camera off Auto!
