Serious Amateur • Well, you're hooked!• Photography is fun, and digital photography has opened

up new horizons in seeing and artistic expressions. • You want to learn about f/stop, depth of field, and

freezing action; how to apply the rules of good composition, proper exposure in different situations, and faithful color reproduction.

• Your digital camera will allow you to explore and experiment: you're ready and not afraid to learn what all those controls are for, experiment with them to see the different images you obtain
