jezzyjj Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 I also learnt on SLR and film. And the thing with digital is most of this isn't as important as they seem to do the basics for you automatically. Unless you are looking for artistic or specific type pics. Complete nonsense. Apart from film cameras having auto exposure long before digital appeared, learning what aperture/shutter/ISO variations do, is exactly how you will get the best pictures from your camera. The fundamentals of picture taking have not altered with digital, just the recording medium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzyjj Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 This may help to show the relationship of shutter,aperture and iso. http://www.robert-barrett.com/photo/exposure_calculator.html Dodgy website design, from about 5 years ago, shuts out decent browsers!

Boddhisattva Posted May 22, 2007 Author Share Posted May 22, 2007 It's the Canon EOS 400D I have just bought. Mainly landscapes and nature pics I'm wanting to take.

jezzyjj Posted May 22, 2007 Share Posted May 22, 2007 Works fine for me with firefox.Anyone else having problems? Ah, but FF is simply a weak copy of a decent browser! Â And there's a bug in Windows Firefox when displaying Flash, which has caused no end of grief on a site I'm doing. Which was about as simple a site as one could get - one line of text inc hyperlink and a flash movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Rich Posted August 21, 2007 Share Posted August 21, 2007 Don't buy a book though, libaries have loads of books on photography and photoshop if you use it. Â Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
richardwheel Posted October 9, 2007 Share Posted October 9, 2007 Shoot Raw and process in something like Rawshooter, Capture One etc to allow full processing of your files. Also make sure you take the camera off auto and experiement with manual it's much more fun  http://www.peak-photos.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
