thanks for posting Jim, now lets hope that everyone that needs to read it does, and we keep the redundancy from the forum.
Reminds me of the summer I worked in Yosemite:
"Excuse me, young man, where's Yosemite Falls?"
"Right behind you, sir."
Repeat often....

Jim,
Great job but did not think you should insult people in your opening. Although Lens is correct, Lense is also an accepted variant. Hell I have even used it myself and I have been a pro for over 40 years.
Still think it is a great read for a beginner since it covers most of the important issues in taking a better photo. Again very nice and many will appreciate the time taken. Have a Very Merry Christmas.

Excellent refresher course, and I do need to be reminded about those relationships! Never thought about how film locked me in to the same speed for 24 to 36 photo's!

Thank you, I have been looking for something just like this to explain this info to the beginners in my photo club.

I believe one of our members, Dria, somewhere else in this forum gave some suggestions as to clarifying some of your terms. No need in expanding. Your work does the job. Thx.

This is fantastic. Simple explanations to seemingly complex situations. You need to do the same, with PS,Elements,Lightroom,&Raw

Thanks, JimH. I recently took a class for the beginner dslr enthusiast from a camera shop in Louisville, KY. I would highly recommend this for anyone that wants to learn more about photography. Your "primer" provides an excellent source of information for people like me. Thanks again, and I really like this forum for the valuable info that people like you provide....kw
P S: I printed your info for future reference. Just saying I'll probably forget things!!

If everyone who owned a camera read and understood all that was printed in their camera manual and all the basic photography books, UHH wouldn't be half as enjoyable as it is.
It would then be so technical it wouldn't have the character it has now.
Long live the beginners, long live the old timers, and long live the ones whose expertise they share make this hobby/profession easier and better for us.
And long live the ones who own a camera, any camera, and use it regularly.

I am new here, but have been shooting for years. I normally don't comment, stay in the background. I want to compliment you on your post, even though we like to think we are pro's at times, reading a good informative article like this is good for us. Thanks

Good job Jim!
I also think you should clarify:
LOW f number WIDE- BIG aperture- lots of light-- LITTLE/short depth of field
HIGH f number -- LITTLE opening--less light--- BIGGER/Longer depth of field
that whole--opposite thing really confuses people.

I have added a chunk at the end to reiterate these points. Thanks!
