It’s amazing how many people are ready to help you and go above and beyond what’s really necessary or considerate. But I believe this happens because you touch their passions, and there are certainly a lot of people who are very passionate about DSLR photography.
As many of you know, I’m new to the entire game and I will keep telling you I’m “new” until one of my photographs make it into National Geographic (or until I can do stuff like the image above… … …).
… (Sometimes photography can be as “frustrating” as the image above reflects too…!) …
But, until then, I’ve been so happy with all the support, including a friend Ryan Carssow, who’s the best darn Real Estate Agent in Austin, Texas who helped sell our last home. Hurray!
He’s a DSLR enthusiast (among other things) and so much so that he’s created this amazingly-helpful PDF document for beginners. Seriously, I printed out this document and have found it to be one of the best resources so far, especially for beginners like me.
He’s offered to let the community use it and download it here.
Thanks Ryan! You’re awesome.

Please pass on the thanks to your friend. It's a very nice document.

This is great, exactly what i've been lookin for. I'm saving up for a nice DSLR camera and this will be very helpful because i don't really know anything about photography. That's very awesome of Ryan to do that
Awesome
Thanks for the doc. It's awesome. I own a Rebel XT myself, but it's a few years old. I love it.
I saw the pictures you took in the earlier post. They look beautiful. Are you sure you're a beginner?
Great work!
yup, a n00b. but, my brother does photography and has shown me a few things.
that's a meaty guide…and a great resource!
