    Default Newbie to photography

    Hi everyone

    I've been getting somewhat interested in photography in general lately and thought I'd look up a forum to get some help. I found an old Nikon EM - a very basic, solid model it seems, as well as a few extras that I know nothing about and want to take up photography for fun.

    Assuming I know nothing about photography, can anyone give me a link for a beginner's guide or something like that?

    Thanks in advance!

    Take a look at www.photoinf.com for some basics on how to compose a photo. There are several simple and to the point articles there with examples.

    Hey ChuckTs,

    We also have a decent article that explains the relationship between film speed , aperture and shutter speed. That would also be material that any beginning photographer should be aware of.

    Hope that helps,

    I put it in my favorites file so that I can return to it easily and study it.
