Congratulations, you’ve reached the end of what I’ve written for the Bastards Book of Photography…so far.
I want to keep this book short and to its original goal – a quick guide on how to use your camera’s manual controls – but there’s plenty of topics to cover, including:
- Ambient light versus direct light
- Focus
- Focus selection
- Focal length and perspective
- The use of flash
- Post-processing
- Some tips on street photography and portraiture
I also have a few interactive features I plan to add to make the lessons more useful.
At the very least, I can keep adding photos.
Have any suggestions? Feel free to leave a message in the Feedback section.
Want updates?

Thanks for reading and keep shooting! – Dan
