Welcome to lesson two! The next two lessons are going to focus on camera basics. First off, we're going to talk about aperture - also called f-stop - and shutter speed. Those two things alone put me off for a very long time when I was a beginner and considering learning more about photography. All the years I spent growing up while I was young, I had a camera in my hands. I have boxes full of photographs of school events, slumber parties, the poodle I had growing up and all of my friends acting goofy. I figure some of that will make good blackmail material later on in life, but I digress… The point is that I was born with a love for taking pictures, but all of the crazy technical sounding stuff was very scary to me. If that's where you are, I'm here to tell you that you have nothing to be scared of. It takes a while to get the feel of how to know exactly what you're doing, but the basic concepts are quite easy, and I'll give you some tools you can use to help you along until it all comes naturally to you.

Quite simply put - we need reflectors because they provide a reflective light to our images that lights just can't provide. They are able to be used at that 'other' light you hear photographers always talking about.
