Thank you. However, I still don't understand how to read the aperture and shutter speed settings on my monitor on my Nikon D50. I get confused as to how to translate the numbers, i.e. - what 3000 means or 30 with a degree mark means. Can you explain? I feel I understand aperture / shutter speed / iso better now. Thank you.

Unfortunately, when it comes to light, that forumla is backwards (small number = lots of light) i can live with that though and still remember it! daveyr The way i think about aperture is just see the number as the range of the image that will be in focus. a small number means a smaller range will be in focus, a large number means a large number will be in focus.

Much appreciated! :) P.S. Can you tell us anything about reflective metering?

A wider aperture lets in more light giving you faster shutter speeds. If you are at your widest aperture and you still aren’t getting enough speed… well, now you know why people pay through the nose for so-called “fast” lenses: glass with f/stops 2.8 or wider. (You can also try a faster ISO setting.) [...] [...] You can also increase shutter speed by decreasing (widening) your aperture. A wider aperture lets in more light giving you faster shutter speeds.
