Want to take BETTER PHOTOS?




If you've been following 6000TIMES for any length of time, you will have realised that I don't do advertising. Hopefully, you've also noticed my photography has been constantly improving.

I'll let you into a secret - taking good photos is not as difficult as you think it is. I've had a secret weapon for a few years now, and it's time I shared it.

Shit. This sounds like a corny advert already, but it's not. Read on.

Even your favorite professional photographers are constantly pushing themselves to get grow artistically and improve at their craft. It’s that desire to improve that makes the best photographers stand out among the rest. Improving your photography is a constant learning process. And, it's not about your camera.

So, for the first time ever, I'm breaking my advertising rule.

Why? I constantly get asked questions about photography. What camera do you use? What lens?

It's not about having an expensive camera, it's about knowing how to use it.

"Getting Out of Auto" is a book geared towards the relative beginner whos' just bought a fancy DSLR camera, as well as those who want to get the most out of their point-and-shoot compact cameras.

With simple explanations for everything important feature you need to know, you can break free from the auto settings on your camera and truly learn how to get the most out of your camera. You will be getting memorable and share-worthy photos of cool mid-century architecture, dark abandoned building interiors, and glistening plates of chicken rice, in no time.

The book is great value. I would call it cheap. For this kind of money in Perth, you would be lucky to get a couple of pints. In Thailand, it would get you ANYTHING. Yes, ANY, THING. But hey, that's a story for another day.

You've got the camera, you have the desire to take better photos, try this book. It comes with the 6000TIMES gold star recommendation (it's the ONLY book with this esteemed recommendation).

Fun fact: In Canada, where Bethany Salvon, the accomplished photographer, friend, and author from BeersAndBeans.com is from, uses the proceeds from each book sold to buy a pint of CC and a Beaver Burger on Rye. So, help feed her. I should also mention, Bethany has her BFA in photography, along with a nearly decade long career as a professional photographer, and she also blogs at the always entertaining BeersAndBeans.com.

Here at 6000TIMES, I am genuinely proud to offer my first ebook for the budding photographer. 

Yes, I get a small cut of each book sold. How much? Well...

I've worked it out, if I sell 678 books, I could afford to eat at La Cholita in Northbridge, and have a cocktail as well!
