I have a friend who thought her camera was malfunctioning; a quick look at the exif makes it far more likely to be user error, further confirmed when she mentioned she's shooting automatic everything. She needs to learn about the exposure triangle (particularly shutter speeds!) and I'm running out of ways to explain it. Have recc'd the Understanding Exposure book, but does anybody have any good links/tutorials online for explaining this?

Thanks in advance!

One could always read a book about exposure, but I did see this link on line, courtesy of Nikolai

Perhaps it came from our user, "oakfieldphotography.com" (Patrick):

Thread is here.

I'm just poking a little fun, but there are some additional simulations (not necessarily exposure related) in that thread that could help a beginner.

Touche, Ziggy! (I missed it when he linked it last year ....)

Thanks for the linkback to the thread - those others are indeed useful. Thanks!!
