Bridging the gap between the vision in your head and the resulting image can sometimes be a frustrating experience. However, if you have a passion for photography and a feel for your gear, it can be done. Steve Simon teaches you how in his book, The Passionate Photographer: Ten Steps Toward Becoming Great.
