DSLR For Beginners: A Crash Course in Digital SLR Photography ~ How to Take Better Photos by Understanding Digital Photography Basics
If you’re ready to learn how to use all those fancy functions of your new digital SLR camera so that you can have more control over the pictures you take, then this book is for you!
Read on your PC, Mac, smartphone, tablet, or Kindle device.
Let me guess: You recently got a new DSLR camera, and in all your excitement, you tossed the manual somewhere and then went out to take pictures. Of course, similar to a “point-and-shoot” camera, anybody can take a fairly decent image using the Auto setting, because the camera does all of the work for you! However, with Auto mode, you’ll soon find yourself frustrated at the lackluster quality the photographs have. Auto mode simply doesn’t give you enough control over your image.
Believe it or not, photography is actually a hard skill to learn. The biggest obstacle is that people often feel daunted by all of the seemingly complex functions, buttons, and dials available to them on a DSLR camera. And this is where I come in to help! I’ve written this short book as an easy-to-understand guide on how to use the manual functions on your camera. Regardless of the brand of your camera, the goal of this eBook is to take the fear out of all the unknown buttons and features. As you’ll come to find out, once you’ve gotten control over your camera, you’ll begin to have more control over your photographs. Your frustration with your camera will subside, and even if you consider yourself an amateur or a beginner, your images will take on a much more professional, technical quality. So if you’re ready to impress yourself (and get your money’s worth from your expensive camera) by becoming a savvy DSLR photographer, then let’s get started!
Here Is A Preview Of What You’ll Learn…
- Getting Started with the Basics
- Choosing Your Settings
- Understanding the Dial on Top of Your Camera
- Learning to Read the Display
- Getting the Hang of Metering Modes and Focus Modes
- Understanding ISO and White Balance
- Learning to Work in RAW

God, Technology, and the Christian Life
What Does God Think about Technology?
Many Christians remain perplexed about modern technology. New iPhones and social media platforms, self-driving cars, and genetic engineering all prove that human innovation is not slowing down for anyone. But as technologies multiply and life in this age becomes more complex, the questions become more stark: What does God think of human technology? Is he threatened by all its power? Is he trying to dismantle Silicon Valley?
In his latest book, journalist Tony Reinke addresses these and other hard questions head-on from the Bible. By turning to 9 key passages and engaging with several theologians and thinkers, Reinke seeks to dismantle 12 common myths Christians often hold about technology, helping them understand the story of where human innovation came from and to embrace the church’s essential role in it.
- Biblical, Informed Look at Technology: Written by the author of 12 Ways Your Phone Is Changing You and Competing Spectacles: Treasuring Christ in the Media Age
- Gathers Ideas from Industry Experts and Theologians: Interacts with Christian and non-Christian sources on technology and theology including John Calvin, Herman Bavinck, Wendell Berry, and Elon Musk
- Educational: Discusses the history and philosophy behind major technological innovations

Giza: The Tesla Connection: Acoustical Science and the Harvesting of Clean Energy
Reveals how the pyramids of Egypt were sophisticated generators of clean energy.Sharing extensive new evidence and cutting-edge research that the Great Pyramid at Giza was built as an energy-harvesting machine, Christopher Dunn details how the ancient Egyptians were generating clean power for their civilization and reveals how the pyramid builders and the great inventor Nikola Tesla were drawing from the same universal knowledge.
Looking at each part of the Great Pyramid, from the internal chambers to its massive stone blocks to the pyramidion on top, Dunn reveals how the pyramids in Egypt served to stimulate the release and collection of electrons in the Earth’s crust by harmonizing seismic energy while also attenuating the accumulating stresses. Drawing on exhaustive ongoing research by NASA scientists into the phenomenon known as “earthquake lights,” the author shows how the pyramid builders were inspired by this phenomenon and learned to stress igneous rocks similar to tectonic plate movement in order to harvest the resulting electron flow, which also enabled the pyramids to mitigate any impending earthquakes. He looks in depth at recent research that supports the pyramid energy theory, including new explorations of the shafts of the Queen’s Chamber, Russian research on how the Great Pyramid can concentrate electromagnetic energy, and analysis of the scorch marks on the ceiling of the Grand Gallery, which supports the King’s Chamber explosion hypothesis. He also examines the stunning significance of the large void above the Grand Gallery discovered in 2017.
Analyzing the results of extensive acoustic testing and measurements related to specific frequencies within the Great Pyramid, Dunn looks at the vibration and frequency rates found at ancient sacred sites and shows how the pyramids were tuned to the Earth’s frequency. He also includes multiple technical appendices written by experts.
While the pyramids’ sophisticated energy-harvesting abilities are now in disarray and disuse, some remnants of their technologies are still there, waiting to be rediscovered and provide our civilization with an abundance of non-polluting power.

TOBACCO ADVERTISING: The Great Seduction (Schiffer books for collectors) (Schiffer Book for Collectors)
Since 1789, when the first tobacco advertisement appeared, tobacco manufacturers have been pioneers of advertising and marketing, revolutionizing the American way of doing business in the process. The folksy, familiar and innocent-looking images portrayed in tobacco advertising were part of the new wave of product promotion – tin tags, cigar and tobacco labels, insert cards (including the first baseball cards) – that helped transform America into a nation of smokers by 1900. With illustrations of antique artifacts, old photographs and contemporary advertising, the reader is taken through the rapid growth of the tobacco industry following the Civil War, and shown a wide-range of promotional ploys and gimmickry that evolved in this century: tobacco tins, cigarette pack art, and outdoor advertising. Other advertising objects include lapel buttons, pocket mirrors, postcards, watch fobs, pocketknives, envelope stickers and more. All are lavishly illustrated, many in full color, and an informative value guide is included.Read more

Before Grenfell: Fire, Safety and Deregulation in Twentieth-Century Britain (IHR Shorts)
An account of the systemic failures that led to the Grenfell tower fire.The 2017 Grenfell tower fire in London was a “slow disaster,” the product of a long accumulation of faults and errors that resulted from erroneous assumptions and organizational and governmental decision-making. This book offers a critical perspective on the systematic failures that lead to one of the greatest tragedies in Britain in our time.
Before Grenfell is a poignant and timely analysis of risk, fire, and safety in postwar Britain. Tracing the evolution of state housing policy in relation to multistory housing since the mid-1950s, the book adds to a burgeoning history of the British experience of fire and safety in high-rises and investigates a latent housing crisis in contemporary Britain against a backdrop of increasingly deregulated urban building development. Drawing on public inquiries, newspaper accounts, and oral histories, Shane Ewen details other avoidable disasters, including the Ronan Point tower block explosion in 1968, the Summerland leisure center fire in 1972, and the Bradford City Football Club fire in 1985. The book closes with a powerful chapter on fire safety campaigners, including survivor groups, who are seeking justice for the victims of fire disasters. Before Grenfell aims to exert pressure on policy-makers to act on the lessons of fatal disasters in order to both prevent future casualties and establish a legacy for those who lost their lives.
