Photography 101

**jimmymac** · 12-01-2008, 05:01 PM

We obviously have a good collection of photographers here, I wonder if there would be any people willing to spend a bit of time helping to create some guides that would help newer amateurs (such as myself

) get the most out of their SLR?

I'm sure theres a few out there that have an SLR currently but dont really get the full or even part of the potential out of things like Aperture/shutter priority, things you can do with different filters etc. I do have a decent guide to using Circ Pol and ND filters from another forum which I may ask the creator if I can borrow so that might get us started.

So would any of you be interested in writing something that could help? Drop your names down here if you do with an idea of the area you would like to do and lets see if we can get some decent tutorials going

If you get some other folks together to discuss stuff such as lenses and such I'd be happy to help out with manual mode...

I could help with Canon info

I would be more than happy to help with settings, lenses camera bodies and such in any way I can

Let me know!

Maybe have a guide on Point-and-Shoots as well? I'll be getting a Canon PowerShot SD1100 soon

I would love to help! I would be willing to discuss the exposure triangle and histograms. Are you going to assign topics to members?

I would be willing to help organize too, assign topics and help put the whole thing together.

Good idea!

Thanks for the great response everybody.
Glad to know you guys are so willing to help.
Jimmy and the rest of us will talk it over and hopefully get the ball rolling along.

Bob

PS- Feel free to throw out some more ideas on what some good topics would be. Whether it be within the hardware side, software side or other.

I believe most of the photographers here have a wide variety of cameras, perhaps we could write a review on our camera and submit it to a main thread to help.

**jimmymac** · 12-02-2008, 10:54 AM

well at the moment i'm thinking more along the line of the use of the camera rather than the makes and models of the cameras which may be something for a later date.

Uke I like the idea of the exposure triangle and histograms, certainly something I would be intersted in. PRobably the best thing to do would be to get a list of what each person feels most comfortable with. IF a couple of people want to work together on a certain area then i'm sure that would be possible over Aim/MSN/PM.

The exposure triangle is the same for all cameras and I'm not sure what else we would discuss that has to do with point and shoots... maybe we could just have the guide divided into different sections and tell in said guide what kind of camera that section is relevant to.

We should also have LOTS of pictures for demonstration purposes.
