I like taking photos. I just haven't been doing it because budget constraints don't really allow me to set aside money for film processing and stuff. But I remember back then when I was still learning the ropes of photography.Please don't get me wrong, I'm no professional, but I do know that I know a thing or two about photography. But because it's been a while since I last held my camera, I thought it was time I brushed up on the basics again.
So I looked for a photography guide for dummies (that's basically what I am) and came across this site. The title of the article was Digitial Photography for Dummies, so I gave it a read. Thank God for what little photography terminologies I retained because if I really were a beginner, I'd probably get lost in the article.
Why, you may ask? Because he goddamn crammed everything into an article. The explanations were simple, I'd agree, but passing through all those different aspects of photography will definitely confuse the uninitiated.
Shouldn't writing for dummies be more concentrated on tackling one topic before moving on to another, as opposed to just throwing simple explanations of stuff in, hoping something would stick?
Bah. It's probably just me. Do give the link a click and tell me what you think of it. I know we're pretty much going to add to the page hits this dude is getting, but I just want to know if I'm the only one who thinks his article isn't really something a photography newbie would appreciate.

you're right, the article is crap. first time i've seen an article on doing photography that has no images (for demonstrations/illutrating differences) whatsoever.
but you know, someone's gotta make money off the web. ohwell. good luck with your re-venturing! looking forward to your photos :)
