Smile Cheat Sheet

Hello everyone,

I am new here but have been taking photos my whole life. I am trying to expand this and learn more creative and realistic settings for different situations. I think I finally have my composition down but I am looking for some sort of cheat sheet with the various aperture, shutter etc settings on one page. I know this is limitless but I am interesting in a few to start out with and after I learn them I can expand. So maybe if this does not exist some of the members here could post a few and I could start to create my own sheet. I would like to start out with some indoor no flash setting, high sun glare and portrait settings.

Thanks again all...

Ken
