Photography 101

"F8 and show up"

There *is* more to it than that, right? Of course. I know that.

I take a lot of pictures. Goodness knows I've subjected many of you to many of them, and your patience and forbearance is sincerely appreciated. But I do yearn to learn. I want to be better. I read a lot, I take a *ahem* lot of pictures. And I continue to struggle.

I have seen some of footfootfoot's artistry, and we have all enjoyed his wisdom. I found this remark especially instructive.

I could have posted it in the HoF, but I chose to use it as a springboard here.

Many times I have read something and failed to comprehend it completely. I wished I could have had a place to ask my question. This thread is that place for me now, and for others.

I hope to learn from dwellars here. I'll post some questions, and some pictures as examples. I'm not going to be shy--my mistakes will be standard fare. If I have something neat to post, there's a place for that already, and other cool threads. They're not likely to be pretty, but I do expect them to be instructive.

Class is in session.
