I recently purchased a brand new Canon T7i DSLR camera for my photography endeavors. My last camera was the T3i, which has served me well. On this blog, I’ve written about various aspects of functionality between the T2i, T3i, T4i, T5i, T6i and now the T7i. As you may have guessed, I truly enjoy this […]

I’d say that the very first task someone needs to complete after purchasing a brand new camera would be to set the image size, quality and format their camera will be capturing. If memory serves, the default setting for Canon Rebel cameras is high quality JPEG photos. If you’re getting up there and are proficient […]

This is just about the coolest thing ever. Well, maybe not ever, but it’s pretty cool. If you’re into using Program mode, like I am, while operating your camera, you’ll surely want to learn how to take advantage of something called Program Shift. It adds a level of flexibility where you’d otherwise not find it. […]

There are so many reasons someone might want to manually set their camera’s ISO. Most often, it’s because they are attempting to take a specialized shot that requires another setting, either the aperture or the shutter speed, to be dialed into something very specific. Or, perhaps the photographer is attempting to take photos in a […]

The exposure compensation feature in the Canon Rebel DSLR digital cameras is awesome. I use it all the time and I have to tell you that it’s been a lifesaver in so many situations. Usually, I use it most for overblown, overexposed scenes. Either that, or for scenes where the dynamic range is simply too […]

I recently wrote a post that talked about how best to review your photos directly after taking them with your Canon Rebel T6i camera, or any Canon Rebel DSLR camera for that matter (like the T2i, T3i, T4i, T5i and the T7i). To read that post, please click through this link below. How To Change […]

You may have never heard about, or even thought about, image review, but I’m sure you’ve seen it. Image review is the brief period of time a photo displays on the back of a camera immediately after the photo is taken. By default, on Canon DSLR cameras, this time is set to 2 seconds. You […]

I know this post is super-beginner, but I just have to write about it. Way back when I first began using my Canon Rebel cameras, for the life of me, I couldn’t figure out how to stop the flash from popping up when I was shooting in less than perfect lighting conditions. You know, indoors […]

I have a word of warning for you. Don’t use the “Erase All Images” feature that’s found inside your Canon Rebel camera (T2i, T3i, T4i, T5i, T6i and the latest of the Rebel series at the time of this writing, the T7i). I’m talking about all popular Rebel models here, the T2i, T3i, T4i all […]

Santa Clause made a visit to our house this Christmas. Guess what he dropped off. Yep, a brand new Canon T6i DSLR camera. Now, instead of writing posts about the Canon T3i, I can write about the T3i and the T6i (and the others, such as the T2i, T4i, T5i and T7i – because they’re […]
