LESSON # 1

Here it is guys! Here is the first lesson I promised ya'll, written for the members of *PhotographersClub, and of course any one else who finds it helpful! (Lesson 2 hopefully coming out next month!)

This tutorial is meant to help you understand 2 of the most important mechanisms on your camera...the shutter and aperture.

Also, sorry its not written all serious like. After I wrote it I sent it off to =silber-englein for proofing, and she pointed out that my personality managed to shine through...what can I say? I'm untamable!
