Introduction

Walk into any bookseller, go to the photography section, and you will see countless books on

the subject of photography. Look a little further and you will locate the camera-speciﬁ c books.

It is this divide between the camera-speciﬁ c and instructional photography books that inspired

me to write this book. What I was seeing in the store was a lot of books that were just sort

of missing the mark—especially when it came to using a speciﬁ c brand and model of camera

along with actual photographic instruction. So with that, I set about to write this book on the

Nikon D5000, not as a rehash of the owner's manual but as a resource to teach photography

with the wonderful technology present in the D5000. I have put together a short Q&A to help

you get a better understanding of just what it is that you can expect from this book.

Q: IS EVERY CAMERA FEATURE GOING TO BE COVERED?

A: Nope, just the ones I felt you need to know about in order to start taking great photos.

Believe it or not, you already own a great resource that covers every feature of your camera:

the owner's manual. Writing a book that just repeats this information would have been a

waste of my time and your money. What I did want to write about was how to harness cer-

tain camera features to the beneﬁ t of your photography. As you read through the book, you

will also see callouts that point you to speciﬁ c pages in your owner's manual that are related

to the topic being discussed. For example, in Chapter 6 I discuss the use of the AE-L button

but there is more information available on this feature in the manual. I cover the function

that applies to our speciﬁ c needs, but I also give you the page numbers in the manual to

explore this function even further.

Q: SO IF I ALREADY OWN THE MANUAL, WHY DO I NEED THIS BOOK?

A: The manual does a pretty good job of telling you how to use a feature or turn it on in the

menus, but it doesn't necessarily tell you why and when you should use it. If you really want

to improve your photography, you need to know the whys and whens to put all of those great

camera features to use at the right time. To that extent, the manual just isn't going to cut it.

It is, however, a great resource on the camera's features, and it is for that reason that I treat it

like a companion to this book. You already own it, so why not get something of value from it?

Q: WHAT CAN I EXPECT TO LEARN FROM THIS BOOK?

A: Hopefully, you will learn how to take great photographs. My goal, and the reason the

book is laid out the way it is, is to guide you through the basics of photography as they relate

to different situations and scenarios. By using the features of your D5000 and this book, you

will learn about aperture, shutter speed, ISO, lens selection, depth of ﬁ eld, and many other

photographic concepts. You will also ﬁ nd plenty of large full-page photos that include cap-

tions, shooting data, and callouts so you can see how all of the photography fundamentals

come together to make great images. All the while, you will be learning how your camera

works and how to apply its functions and features to your photography.
