 * /Fundamentals of Photographic Technique/
 * Traditional and digital photography techniques have a lot in common. Whatever tools you use, it's important to understand the fundamental techniques of the medium.


 * The Light
 * Photographia, in Greek, literally means "writing of light". Understanding, and sometimes controlling light is a very important task for photographers.


 * Traditional Darkroom

 * Digital Photography
 * In commercial photography, personal photography and fine art, digital photography brought new possibilities.


 * Digital Cameras
 * Choosing a digital camera can be a difficult task, so knowing the particular uses to which it is to be put is important.


 * Digital Darkroom
 * The "digital darkroom" is what photographers call the computer software they use to process images. Knowing how to use digital tools is essential for a practicing photographer today.


 * Commercial Practices
 * The difference between being a good photographer and a good professional photographer is not technical but commercial.
