Photography 101 - Question Time
Photo 101 Questions

The following post is from Australian photographer Neil Creek who is teaching classes in portrait photography in Melbourne Australia, and is developing his blog as a resource for the passionate photographer.


Over the past few months, I have been running this class to introduce readers to the fundamentals of the camera: the physics behind it all, how lenses and optics works, the mechanics of the camera and how to set and determine a photo’s exposure. I’ve tried to cover the basics of the camera, but I’m sure there are lots of questions that have gone unanswered.


For this lesson, I’m opening up the classroom to your questions. Leave your questions on the subject of “A basic course on the camera” in the comments below. Have a read of the previous lessons so far to see if your question has been answered and if there’s anything you don’t understand:


Here’s What We’ve Covered Previously in this Series:


Lesson 1: Light and the Pinhole Camera

Lesson 2: Lenses and Focus

Lesson 3: Lenses, Light and Magnification

Lesson 4: Exposure and Stops

Lesson 5: Aperture

Lesson 6: Shutter

Lesson 7: ISO

Lesson 8: Shutter


Selected Questions Will Be Answered


Leave your questions about the camera in the comments on this post below. I will choose a number of questions, approximately five to seven, and answer them as best I can. The answers to the selected questions will appear in the next, and final post in the Photography 101 series.
