Diane, I commend you for trying to learn the fundamentals. But I don't understand why you don't just set your camera manually and see what happens when you change aperture and/or shutter speed. Seeing the results is easy and fast if you're shooting digital and it's a lot easier than reading about imaging theory.

Jim, I have been using each of the programmed auto, the shutter-priority, and the aperture-priority on my camera, though not the fully manual. I have done some experimenting though I do want to fully understand the theory of the relationships. Your points are all well taken. Fortunately in taking this course there will be many opportunities to continue to experiment and understand the relationships of one to the other ... I feel I sometimes spend too much time remembering or sorting out which setting or value will make the correct effect so I would still like to fully understand the why's & how's in the theory. Ach, I'm not sure why I'm trying to explain why I'll find this beneficial.
