Setting Up the EOS
Rebel T3i/600D
C
hances are good that
you have already used
your EOS Rebel T3i/600D,
and you know where the
main controls on the camera
are located and what they
do. But to become expert in
shooting with the T3i/600D,
you need to learn the cam-
era controls so well that you
can use them instinctively
and without hesitation. The
better you know the camera,
the fewer shots you’ll miss.
This chapter is designed to
help you become familiar
with the T3i/600D and to
provide ways to make your
everyday shooting easier
and faster. As you read,
have the camera nearby so
that you can locate the con-
trols. Also know that the
shortest path to gaining
mastery of the camera is
using it every day.
For this image of a dogwood blossom, I wanted to keep
detail through the background petals, so I used a narrow
f/8 aperture. I shot in color, and then I used the Nik
Silver Efex Pro plug-in to convert the image to a neutral
sepia tone. Exposure: ISO 200, f/8, 1/125 second using
–1/3-stop of Exposure Compensation.
