I appreciate your ability to explain this so well to a beginner. I worked with a wedding photographer that didn't know how to explain at my level. Love your videos! A lot of "aha" moments for me.

Love the videos so far! I'm buying my first DSLR camera soon. Canon rebel T6. It has 18 megapixels which is less than an iPhone. Should I get the rebel T6i for more megapixels or is 18 enough?

Do, or can, you recommend any particular book to go along with your course?

I wish I did have time to create a workbook that goes along with my course. I would recommend printing out my Photo Triangle and use that as a reference when you go through the lessons. Not sure if it's easy to get to on this site but here is the direct download link - http://s3.amazonaws.com/EasyDSLRResources/PhotoTriangleAndKey.pdf
