Do you want to learn how to take pictures? Better pictures than your friends and family? I’ve built this site exclusively for the amateur photographer and the beginner photographer alike.
What makes DigitalRedEye.com geared toward the beginner and amateur photographer? Our reviews are not 20 pages long. Not even 10 pages. For the majority of people out there you only need to know that if you spend $150 on a camera will it take a good picture? We’ll answer that question for you without you having to read a 20 page review.
Bio of Rick R. Duncan
I’ve been into photography for all my life. In fact, it’s rare that you wouldn’t run into me without having some sort of camera with me. I’ve been known to carry around a man-purse in which I almost always carry my Canon PowerShot A620, or my Canon 40D. If for some reason I’ve left both of my Canon cameras at home I’m always armed with my 8MB camera on my HTC Incredible. Contrary to what people believe, you can take some pretty amazing photos with a camera phone.
When I started taking photos I was using film which came first from a Pentax K1000 and then a Minolta Maxxum 3xi. Eventually I graduated to the digital era and purchased a Kodak DC4800. Today I’m a dedicated Canon gear head and everything is digital.
My favorite type of photography is still-life and sports photography. For a while I would visit the local motocross tracks and rugby fields to capture all of the action. I had a small business where I would take the photos for free and only get paid for what I sold. It was more fun than profitable, but a unique experience that I will always be appreciative of. You can view my past work @ http://digitalredeye.smugmug.com. One day I hope to land a part time job as a sports photographer which is why almost every day I browse the sports photographer job openings page.

Photography Tutorials
Every photographer needs to start somewhere. Most of what I learned came from trial and error. All of the photography tutorials on DigitalRedEye have been created by me from my experiences. I also use my own photographs that are included in the tutorials so that it gives the reviews authenticity.
Photography Reviews
From Photoshop to camera phones, anything we can get our hands on for testing will be reviewed with an unbiased opinion. My photography reviews are blunt and to the point. If I recommend something it’s only because I use it and believe in it, otherwise I will tell you that it’s c-rap.

Affiliations and Affiliate links
If a link on my site takes you to a website where you can buy something, go ahead and assume that it’s an affiliate link and I am getting a commission. In fact that’s probably a pretty safe assumption with most links on the web. Sure some people link out of the kindness of their heart, but more often than not the only reason a link is there because somebody is getting something out of it.
