So what's this all about then

A couple of my friends have in the past asked me about the ‘basics’ of photography. We’re not talking advanced exposure control, professional equipment and studio lighting, just how to use a low cost camera to take decent pictures. I always start by saying I don’t know, and direct them to my website for proof :o)

However, I figured this could be a useful space to put new ideas on as and when I think of them, and to which I can send people if anyone ever asks me that question again. I’ll be coming at this from a primarily SLR (whether film or digital is largely irrelevant) point of view, but if you have a decent (digital) zoom compact with some level of control, you may be surprised how much of it applies to that too.

  1. Hi Kev!

    Just read your enquiry on the Great Eccleston Show blog which I maintain. Just in case you didn't get notification that you had a replay here's a reminder! Hoping you get this.

    As for this blog! I'm thinking of buying a camera...so I'll be pestering you for advice.

    Cheers

  2. The first follower :o) Welcome.

    I didn't get any kind of notification and I don't know what a replay is, but I've been checking it and I found it today, after I sort of asked the same question again :$

    You'll be able to guess from this that the category I'm planning to enter is photography... :o)
