Understanding Your Camera: Exposure Basics
I am writing a series of articles as I teach camera basics and camera operation to my children, in particular to my 11 year old son who wants to buy his first DSLR. My children have been using cameras for a while (with some good results), but typically use full-auto mode, or rely on me to adjust the settings for them.

How Important Are Your Photos To You?
Can You Afford To Lose Your Photos?
How important are your photos to you? What would the impact be if you were to lose all the photos stored on your PC?

Copyright Violation - what would you do?
I recently had one of my photos “stolen” by my employer – who was using it for an internal employee-publication without my permission.

See my blog for more info.
Edit: I’ve posted a follow-up articl…
Selecting Lenses for a Holiday
I recently blogged about Selecting Lenses for a Holiday.
In it, I discuss how I decided which lenses to take on an overseas holiday to Phuket, and then do some analysis of the photos afterwards (using ExposurePlot), and review the lens choice.
How do you decide which lenses to take on a holiday, and which lenses would you take?
Read my blog post for more information on the lenses I took, and my r…
