I will try to keep everything that comes to mind in this thread, all these notorious questions that a beginner photographer has (we all did at one point) and would love some answers.
What on earth is fg / bg / dof and so on ???? stress kicks in and headaces arrive.
Well, here you can find all these questions answered, further questions by members on a specific subject should be added right under that individual post for easy reply by whoever has some extra information.
Finally, i would like to thank all the sites who provide openly all this information throughout the web, photozone , dpreview, ronbigelow, cambridgeincolour, naturephotographers.net, lexar.com, olympousdigitalschool.com
