I recently wrote a guest blog on HDR One about Composition.  Composition is critical in photography and is often something you see overlooked in the digital age.  Many people who are getting into photography these days are not formally trained.  They have not had to sit through countless hours of art classes ripping their eyeballs out seeking the inspiration to understand or fathom the importance of a good camera angle.  You know what, I don’t think that is a bad thing either

I think it is great that cameras have become so affordable, accessible, and easy to use.  However, I feel very strongly about this whole composition thing that I am offering the entire first chapter from my recent eBook, The DSLR Survival Guide, for free as a .PDF download!

I highly suggest you send this out to all of your friends, whether they own a DSLR, a point and shoot, or want to take better pictures with their cell phone!  Composition is for everyone!
