Beginner’s Guide to SLR Photography Review & Giveaway

Disclaimer: I received a copy of this DVD guide in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.

"Use your camera like a pro." PhotographerOvernight.com has launched their newest training video - Beginner's Guide to SLR Photography.
When I first got my Canon a few years ago, I was definitely a beginner! I still am. I've left it on Auto for the longest time until I received this video guide to help me enhance my photography skills.
The Beginner's Guide to SLR Photography is a step-by-step tutorial video which covers the following:

• Shutter speed and motion effects
• Aperture (f-stop), Depth of field and Bokeh
• ISO sensitivity and avoiding noise
• Automatic vs. Creative modes
• Getting a perfect focus
• Shooting in full manual
• Finding the right white balance
• The beauty of RAW
• All about lenses
• Best practices for flash
• Best outdoor lighting
• Indoor lighting techniques
• Finding the best composition

Each chapter will go over the different modes on your camera and you'll get to put your skills to the test with the assignments included in the guide. I love this feature because you can practice the variety of techniques with each lesson as you go along.

One of the assignments I really liked was taking a picture of a water drop. I still have some practicing to do but here's what I managed to capture:

I learned a lot of different ways to make my photos better by taking my camera off of Auto. The DVD guide is very easy to follow and I'll continue to use it as a reference!

The website also has free photography tips to help you with your photography projects.

Photographer Overnight is offering a 50% discount off any product on their website by using code HALFOFF.

You can also purchase it here. (affiliate link)

One winner will receive a copy (or download link) of the Beginner's Guide to SLR Photography. (ARV $49)

Giveaway is open WW and ends on 4/7.

16 Minute Club - For Breastfeeding Mothers

Disclaimer: I received the products mentioned in this post in exchange for my honest review. All opinions are my own.

The 16 Minute Club is a unique subscription box service tailored to breastfeeding moms. In fact, it is the only home delivery lactation support program available.

Founder Wendy Wright is a board certified lactation consultant who also breastfed and personally knows the joys of breastfeeding.

"From the moment I breastfed my first baby I knew I wanted to share the experience with as many families as possible. As a board certified lactation consultant I have supported families in hospitals, clinics, support groups and one on one to achieve success. The 16 Minute Club is my way of continuing to help as many families as possible to breastfeed their babies." -Wendy

Subscription Boxes
Each box is designed to meet you and your baby's needs depending on their age. For example, the first 16 Minute Club box is tailored just for mom: prenatal and prebirth weeks. Box No.2 is tailored for newborns: weeks 1-6. The subscription boxes grow with your baby. Boxes can be shipped within the US and Canada.
I received Box No.10 which is titled Ready for More. It is the last 16 Minute Club subscription box which is made especially for the growing toddler.

What's Inside?

All of these products are specifically designed to enhance toddler development. I love that many of the products in the box are eco-friendly or made with natural and organic ingredients.
Little Z's favorite items were the drinking bottle and the stacking ducks.

It's really inspiring to know that this subscription box service is helping breastfeeding moms. When Baby #2 comes along sometime in the future I can't wait to discover the products that the 16 Minute Club has to offer during the early stages.

The 16 Minute Club has teamed up with me to offer you a sweet giveaway!

One (1) winner will have the chance to pick out one box that meets their breastfeeding needs. 

Giveaway will end on April 4, 2014. Open to US and Canada.
