If you want to learn to take good photographs, you need to understand how cameras work. See my super-simple explanation here: Understanding Exposure.
If you want to actually take good photographs, you need to put that understanding into practice. I’ve long wanted to build a simulator to illustrate the concepts in my Understanding Exposure post, but have never been able to set aside the time. Well, someone has beat me to it, and done a very nice job.
This Camera Simulator lets you control the three basic camera functions, plus lets you play with some other cool variables.
Go play with it now!
