Photography 101 - volunteers?

I think a section on Post Processing might be a fun idea. (No matter how much some people might not like it

)

Then just a general section on the camera itself and how to get the most out of your DSLR. What settings work for the best situations...etc.

ScOuT · 12-02-2008, 04:40 PM

Over the years I have messed around with night time photography. I have done some research and taken quite a few pictures at night. I would be willing to share advice and some tricks with everybody. I think your idea is great

If you could also cater for non DSLR users as well that would be great, I have a decent camera with the setting of most things manually and have read articles explaining these but must admit to getting a little lost. I am still using the presets for all photos.
Articles where I can reply with a question would be brilliant because missing out on the basic understanding is not allowing me to go more in depth.
Either way, I look forward to it.

I'm starting to learn about nikon cameras and getting into a photography I'll help in any way I can.

Jimmy,

If your putting a list together put me in on those topics. I love discussing the exposure triangle!

Also, I would be willing to help edit the sections for grammar and spelling.

Then let's try and find one more person to help out with the exposure triangle... Ben or Punk maybe?

I'm thinking Bob could do something on lenses as he's probably the most experienced.

Something else that might be helpful are guides for particular shooting situations... like "Shooting Fireworks" or "Shooting Lightning."

The hardest part will be keeping it organized... any ideas?

I can take care of the "shooting lightnings" part.

I can help in the triangle too if you guys need help

If someone wants to do it then props to them, but in my personal opinion, this is a computer forum. Even though there are some photographers here that know their stuff, I still think that if someone wanted to read a "101" on photography, they would be best off going to a photography forum.

Cameras are computers too.

Besides... we have mods in on this, you don't want to make them mad!
