Photobasics

There is a lot of stuff out there on Photography and we certainly cannot compete with the wealth of knowledge and depth of resources that are available. That said, I thought it might be useful to produce some basic guides, hopefully written in plain English, that would be useful. If these prove popular then we can expand the range, please let me know what you think and if you have any ideas for additional topics please let me know those as well !
