OK, that summer pic thread was fun. Now, my friends are having fun with their cameras, and with fall colors starting, I figure it is time to learn how to use this old SLR. I have an old Canon AE1 with a bunch of lenses, figure that should get me started.
Anyone know of good tutorials online that can explain the basics? I don't care much for things on how to spruce up the pictures, or to capture the scenery to make it look better. Or how to make it look better with Photohop. I want tutorials on aperature, shutter speed, focusing, etc.
Also, what is the best way to have these developed? One friend likes Wal-mart 1 hour with the photo CD, says that works good enough, another says the couple days thing is the only way to go (excluding darkrooms).
