Back in 1992 and 1993, knowing that we had new members in Reading Camera Club, we ran a series of articles about the basics of photography. Those articles are reproduced here.
The articles were written long before "digital" photography. Even "autofocus" was considered a rather dubious trick. It is also interesting to note how technology-centred the articles were. There is nothing about composition, for example.
So, enjoy a view of the past - complete with the original crude graphics. It was the best we could do at the time.. but time has moved on. I may get round to updating the articles sometime. But don't hold your breath.
