<code>''The guide is structured in sections and subsections, each of them catering to specific information that should be considered together, on a particular topic. There is also a vocabulary that is advisable to remember to get accustomed to key concepts.''</code>

It is advisable to know what types of cameras are available on the market and what are their strength and weaknesses.

Although you may be familiar with using a camera, there are many aspects that may be less obvious. I advise to take at least a cursory glance at this section.

When you read reviews or you hear someone say some key features of the camera, it is likely that you will benefit from knowing these words. While you can find the same information better organized on other guides, I still think that the relatively concise yet comprehensive approach on this section will be of use.

It is clear that taking pictures depends on the time of the day and seasons. You can find inspiration and suggestions on how to prepare yourself for taking pictures in specific contexts.

Proper framing is, perhaps, one of the most important skills you will develop. In this section you will find an extensive list of subjects you may capture and how to reach good results. You will also find useful information about a good technique used to evaluate the potential of your framing, the rule of thirds. I highly advise you to read this section.

While you may use your pictures as is, and you may find perfect examples for that, most of the time it is better to set asides parts of the image to draw the viewer's attention to specific details or remove parts that are contrary to what you want to present. Cropping is a technique that you should develop and improve upon, early on. I highly advise you to read this section.

Keeping a large collection of images is great, however, most of the time, you would like to share your work and let the others appreciate or offer you suggestions. There are many times when you need to reach specific requirements for your creations. Read about essential information on websites, content sharing platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, Flicker and others. I highly advise you to read this section.

Accurate colour reproduction is part of the training for higher skilled photographers. Although you may avoid this section entirely, there are interesting aspects you should be aware of when showing your creations on various devices, whether they are displays or on paper. Note that this section does not present the whole theoretical concept but focuses on key practical aspects that you should be aware of and that you can control.

As you get more experienced in taking and editing photos, you may want to express your abilities also using more advanced techniques. This section covers some interesting creative possibilities to present what you may be interested to experience with. It is not intended to present techniques in detail, as the required detailing and particular operations are much better covered in other guides available on the internet.
