A labour of love

Tens hours today, and I have forgotten how many in previous days, but at last it is finished.

I am of course referring to the never-requested, rarely-required, totally unnecessary Pattaya Days Starter Guide to Photography.

If you are already familiar with using a camera, you don’t need it.

If you have no idea how a camera will work, it will probably just confuse you.

If you really know about photography, you will no doubt spot errors and misrepresentation.

But I had fun making it, and if it makes just one person turn off the bloody auto switch and start to learn how to use their camera properly; then it will be time well spent.

I planned a ten page summary, I ended up with a sixty six page ramble. I have already thought of topics that could add another twenty pages; but I will stop for now.

If you are interested, you can download it here.

If you cast your eyes northwards, you will see that I have also added a page to the site which contains the link to the download.

I hope it helps someone, let me know what you think.

The camera guide is much appreciated. I’m sure it will be useful and entertaining. Thanks for your effort.

Very impressive. I never got beyond text boxes in Powerpoint.

Todd, thanks.

Camberley, but the text was world-changing.

It all seems clear and well written with an inane comment ratio that appeals to my adolescent sense of humour.

Only remaining challenge is to get my finger out of bum hole and just do it. If I fail it will not be your fault. Well done.

Inane comments are my forte. I will add a section on washing hands before handling camera.
