Hi all,

New to this forum, just got a canon A85 for my b'day, know very little, just learning.

Im the ultimate newbie!!

My photography experiance amounts to point and click cameras. Im the guy that always cuts your head off :)

But this'here digital thingy.. its so nice and instant.. i can see the shot strait away... AND have a record of the exact settings i used to get the shot. And so i can learn!! :D

So here begins my journey. My first step is to ask if any of people can recommend an online 'photography for dummies' type resource. Something that explains all this fstop, apeture and white balance stuff to a guy whos thumb has been creeping over the 'picture hole' since he took his very first picture (of a half of his foot, by accident BTW) as a kid.
