Hi,

Welcome to Beecher's Handouts.

You can learn all about f/stops, shutter speed, depth-of-field, white balance, and everything else.

My goal for teaching was created by an experience I had twenty-some years ago.

As a teaching assistant in an advanced class, I was surprised by how many of the students didn't have a solid foundation in photography.

You will, with the help of Beecher's Handouts.

You can read Beecher's Handouts three ways.

1) Use the menu.

2) Click Back and Next at the bottom of each section.

3) Go to the Free Download.

Teachers and others can copy and distribute Beecher's Handouts with the no-fee Creative Commons License.

Just follow the terms of the license.

Best,

Jim Beecher
