Hi Christiana, This article: http://www.betterphoto.com/article.php?id=135 is here at BetterPhoto. I think it might help you understand the basic language of light. Have fun, John Siskin

The best advice I could give you would be to start with the book "Understanding Exposure" by Bryan Peterson. It is under $20.00usd at Amazon.com. He delivers all the information in an easy to read and understand format which is not too technical.He also wrote "Learning to See Creatively" It is written in the same easy was as the other. Looking at your images I would say that you need to get the subjects out of the center of the shot. Studying many of the images here at BP from long time members will also help you to improve. Along with reading the forum questions.

You might also try occasionally using some punctuation in your sentences. ;-)

Good advice Chris. No, you might also look into some books that have been around for a long time, specifically Ansel Adams' 'The Camera' and 'The Negatie'. Both hae a lot of good information on film photography that can be adapted to digital capture as well.

I would get a beginner's photo book and work through some ideas and give yourself a project such as shooting, say 15 or 20 subjects (eg a close up, landscape, sports, night, portrait, still life, self portrait using a tripod,shadow, reflection etc) on one roll of film and record the shutter speed and aperture of each photo you take. Have your camera on full manual. Then analyse the photos and look at the types of results different shutter speeds and aperure combinations. Then after that worry about composition and flash photography. Learn to look at subjects from many angles. Remember just keep things simple to start with and add to your knowledge slowly. Best of luck!
