Description
full title: "A Guide to Taking Good Quality, High Resolution Stock photographs - Part I - All About Cameras"In this tutorial I'll explain tons of stuff. Aperture, Shutter Speed, ISO, focus, mega pixels, self-timers, etc.
(This is made for figure stock artists, but all sorts of stockers and beginning photographers can learn from this)
Full-view (zoom in) to see the actual tutorial. WARNING: Very large image! There's a somewhat printable version here: [link]
edit: Oh gods! I just signed on quick before I had to go to work and wasn't able to say thanks (no time), but now I'm back.. and wow!
Another DD! Thanks so so much to `thespook for suggesting and ^bleedsopretty for featuring it.. 
And thanks to you for looking.
I have used camera symbols belonging to well... I've seen a few companies use them (Canon, Nikon, Pentax). But I've used them for educational purposes only. No copyright infringement is intended. Please oh please don't report me, I certainly don't make any money off of this.

Good tutorial,
well organized,
But I have a question,
I'm just experimenting with photography at the moment, and I'm using a Digital Camera,
No fancy SLR thingies. 8),
I'm trying to figure out if I'm really into it, whether my interest in photography will last , so yeah.
I was wondering if you knew whether I could change the Shutter speed & aperture on my camera ? It's a Sony DSC-W55/B
Thanks

Hi, I just stumbled upon your post. I don't think you can can those settings on such cameras. I have a similar one, and was told similar. Only the SLRs and SLR-likes (I guess) are able to change those settings.

Thank you very much.
This was very helpful with figuring out my new camera. I just like to photograph my kids but I like the fact that now I understand what all the different buttons and letters stand for and do.

Sorry! I just have to add my own comment to this - this has officially saved my butt! I was wondering why some of (*cough*many of*cough*) my latest costume pictures were horrible!
THANK YOU!
And, considering I just started a stock account for randomness, this helps exponentially there, too

Thanks for this tutorial. Although I am not looking at taking stock at this point, I am looking at getting into artistic photography for fun, your tutorial was very simple (I understood everything) and at the same time gave me the basics to go out and have a play with the camera without resorting to using auto

thank you for this! I just bought the canon digital rebel xt and this is very helpful

Wow, this is so great! Thanks a lot. I've got a Canon PowerShot S60, which I think is good enough for me, as I'm still a beginner, but I broke it 30 minutes ago. Yes, I know.
Anyway, the tutorial is awesome, & it had helped me understand a lot of things about my -ehem- broken camera. This is really halpful. Totally a favourite. Maybe in the next tutprial, you could help us with the poses & lights & such.
Thanks a lot!
