Jacques, I thought these sites were helpful to me. (a newbie also) http://www.decorphoto.com/tips.htm (Photography 101 – Quick and dirty) and this one on Kodak’s web site http://www.kodak.com/US/en/nav/takingPics.shtml The two links off that page are: "Top 10 Techniques" (Cliff notes basics) and "Guide to Better Pictures" (More thorough) I believe I recall some good info on Tamron’s WEB site also here: http://tamron.com/35mm/35mm_tutor/phototip.htm Good Luck.

How can you possibly learn to control depth of field if you always use one aperture? How can you choose a shutter speed to freeze or deliberately blur motion? I suppose you could use a different film speed for every shot and carry around a set of neutral density filters, but why? have fun.
Only if you describe continuing mediocrity as "fun". — Best regards, Tony Polson

Tongue in cheek, Mr. Polson–I was trying to tell the fellow not to panic too much and relax. Technique will come with practice. And all those pictures you shoot will be fun. when I get my old photos up on the web–give it five weeks while i get my life together–then you can rip me to pieces. I might be no better’n Annika, but I’ll have spent less money and had as much if not more fun. Anyway, being there is most of the fun. -Luigi – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text – I suppose you could use a different film speed for every shot and carry around a set of neutral density filters, but why? have fun.
