Technical know how is important, because the f/ stops are just a mechanical input, but they have enormous aesthetic implications in the photograph you're making. Whether you want lots of depth of field or a shallow depth of field. Exposure values, shutter speeds, all those sounds daunting but now I know I have to learn it in order to be fluid with them. Which then enables me to speak with a much louder voice! This is what I have been talking about a while back. http://www.flickr.com/photos/shoken/2538963448/ valuble information though they are the basic stuff.

This has made it a lot clearer, Thanks. I'll have to try out this twitter thing! Great lesson, I’d heard of the exposure triangle but didn’t properly understand it.

Looking forward to the homework! So... 0EV = f1@1sec, xEV = 2^x amount of light on the sensor. This would mean that it's entirely relative to the situation you're in, the brightness associated with 0EV will change every time you change times or locations or weather conditions... this doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me... Looking at Gordon's cheat sheet (thanks, I've only had a brief look, but it's great so far) he's got EV referring to the scene itself. So did you mean that 0EV is the "correct exposure" and therefore if your scene has an EV of about 15 (bright sunny day, for example), you need to dial down 15 stops to get the right exposure? I'm gonna read Fred Parker, but feel free to let me know if what I said is on track. :) Sweet! Looking forward to the homework!
