Thanks for that info, Godders.
I just about betcha five bucks the local used book store has a copy of
"Basic Photography" on the cheap, and have already bookmarked the
photo.net page. I'll send them an email telling them to go to hell as
soon as I finish reading it all. ;-)

Another resource that comes to mind is to drop by a used bookstore and
hunt up a copy of the old classic "Basic Photography" published by
Focal Press in the 1960s. Invaluable information at whatever level of
depth you can tolerate.

Although I no longer go there due to the management stupidity and
censorship that I got fed up with,
http://photo.net/learn/making-photographs/ does a reasonable job of
the primary concepts of photography.

Hi all,
Being not particularly mathematically inclined (to put it very charitably),
I was wondering if any of you could point me toward a sort of online idiot's
guide to understanding and calculating exposure values, depth of field, and
other basics along those lines. I figure having at least a loose grasp on
details of that nature might be helpful as I dip a toe into the world of
analog.
I've posted an entry on my photo blog concerning some of the basics that I'm
already familiar with, and plan to chart my progress as I go along.
Granted, what I've written is geared toward people who know even less about
photography than I do (as hard to conceive as that may be), but it can be
found here:

It's a first baby step on a long journey, but I'd like to document it as I
go along, and share it with anyone who might be interested. So,
essentially, I do understand the stuff they probably teach you in the first
week of Introduction to Photography 101 -- but largely on an intuitive,
practical level. Are there any resources on the web where a simpleton can
go to familiarize himself with those principles on a more technical level?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
