Of course, as you start to use any camera (not just a DSLR - focal lengths apply to point-and-shoots as well) this stuff becomes automatic. With enough practice, you can start to get a feel for what each lens and/or focal length will do. That's one of the main reasons I started the photo-a-day project, so I'd have to keep shooting, and eventually have to try all of my lenses etc... so the techno stuff would just disappear...

I don't have my DSLR yet, but when I do, I'll need to know this stuff. This is really good. I don’t have my DSLR yet, but when I do, I’ll need to know this stuff.

Love the shaka method. Am this ready to get the fast fixed 50mm lens. While my little PowerShot is in sick bay, I have been enjoying the Digital Rebel all over again; even with the stock slow lens, the picture quality i superb.
