Free Digital Photography Lessons

1

can someone give me a little lesson on photography?

I suppose I know the basics, but I don't know nearly enough. I do like taking pictures, though, and I think that with time and practice, I could become pretty good at it.
So far, I know about exposure, depth of field, and a little about f stop. I'd like to know more about those things above, and also ISO and anything else that would be useful to me.
Right now, I have a digital camera; not the best, but it's a decent one. I'm partial to pictures with good focus, where it's blurry in the background but detailed on the focused part.
Also, I haven't edited any of my photos, but I know that with digital photography, that's kind of important. Do you think it's necessary? What photo editing source do you use? Are there any free ones? Can you tell me how to use them?

I know I'm like the biggest novice ever, but I really want to know these things.
Thanks for your time and patience, hopefully it will pay off!

Get a camera that you can use manually then shoot your learning/testing shots completely manual, in a couple of years (I didn’t saw it was easy) you will know a lot about the lost art of Per-Auto photography.
Exposure is easy, take a reading off of the palm of your hand or sunny grass. Depth of field and F-stops work together, just like your eye opens up in a dark room the camera needs to open the lens (small F-number) in low light and make a very small hole (F-22) in bright light. The high numbers (F11 and above) will give you more depth. Remember that lenses are sharpest in the midrange. In the days of film a “slow” film like Kodachrome 25 gave you the best results, so slower is better.
Your comment “good focus, where it's blurry in the background but detailed on the focused part.” is wrong. That is not good focus it is enjoyable focus. What you like about that kind of photo is it “shallow depth of field” caused by using a small F-stop (the one with the big opening, strange)
Just put your photos in folders so you can find them later. The image that comes out of your camera is the photo and just as in the days of dark rooms most photos can be improved on so start to learn to use one of the programs that came with your camera or get a free one on-line. Then like riding a bike you will learn.
Photography is rewarding but very few people make a living or better from it. The biggest problem is the cost of equipment, if you are like me you want a DSLR and at least three lenses. If you only want to take some pretty pictures get a fully automatic with a built in zoom lens and spent the other hundreds of dollars on some other interest.
Hope you find this helpful. Learning takes time but remember that I recommend learning by shooting manually; turn the entire Auto off and learn from your mistakes. David [www.gdmlegacy.com]
