A Digital Photography Resource for Amateurs
A Mind’s Eye is a digital photography resource for you - the novice and serious amateur. Whether you're a photography novice, "just" use a Point-and-Shoot, or have a DSLR but want to learn more, you’ve come to the right place.
Our goal is to provide you with easy-to-read and easy to understand content. A Mind’s Eye takes the mystery out of all the digital photographic techno babble. So pull up a chair, settle in and browse through your new digital photographic home.
Photography Projects
A Project is a series of images that have one or more unifying elements. An element could be the subject matter, the light quality, colour, image style, etc. It is something the artist “sees”; while the viewer may, or may not, get it. New projects show up from time to time. So check them out. You will be amused, wowed, bored, aghast, interested, but never just nothing.
Let's Get Started
We ask you to “register” by completing our guestbook. This let's us know what kind of camera and lens you use and what kinds of pictures you like to take - and those images you wish you knew how to make. As a "Thank You", we'll email you our free Top Ten Tips to get you started. This helps us to get to know you and you get to know us. And hopefully, you’ll come back and visit – often.
Courses
A Mind's Eye currently offers two digital courses - Photography Fundamentals I and Photography Fundamentals II. Fundamentals I is for the first-time DSLR camera user. Photography Fundamentals II is for the more experienced DSLR photographer and those interested in the artistic side of photography. A Mind's Eye offers a personal, two-on-one course in Traditional B&W Film Camera and Darkroom Photography. We supply everything, including the Nikon film cameras.
A Little Bit About Us
I am Edward Eastman, author of this website, photographer and teacher. Having been involved in photography for over 20 years, I gained my knowledge using a camera, film and a wet, black and white darkroom.
The digital camera has revolutionized the industry. Good image making principles still apply, but people are excited about taking pictures and having fun. And learning to get the most out of your new digital camera is where A Mind's Eye comes in.

Students Say
"I now know the difference between a portrait and a record shot and the
course also helped me with creative composition versus just "taking
pictures". I really enjoyed it.... Thank You."
Jim, Oakville, Ontario
"I really enjoyed taking Edward's Photography Fundamentals I class. His
depth of knowledge and teaching experiences have taught me how to
actually use the camera for it's intended use. I may never use the
automatic settings on my Canon SLR again".
Ronda, Burlington, Ontario
