English Language Teaching in Japan and Asia

Follow the 'Main Topics' in order, starting with the 'Light Meter', and then we'll practice using 'A', 'S', and later 'M' (for manual). I think this is the easiest way to learn your craft.

First, have ISO and WB (white balance) set on Auto. This should help you more easily concentrate on and understand these topics.

Also, experimenting, and trying new things is the best part of photography. So think, click, and check on your computer. And enjoy.

Remember to Bookmark these pages on your computer. There's a lot to remember and learn about, and you'll probably want to look back at these pages in the future.
