Thank you everyone for your advice. I think i have a better idea now.
Raven your explanation was great. I had no idea about that meter so thank you! So much to learn! I have no idea how i will get my head around it all. Do you mind if i pick your brain a bit more from time to time? And oh my gosh your photos are AMAZING!
Tanstar i have a Canon 60d so that word of eos thing is great. I had a look at the tutorials available and found a whole bunch that are great for me. I had no idea that was there!
I am really loving trying to get my head around all of this. My brain is getting a real work out which it definately needs after 2 years at home raising children. Im really enjoying it.
No probs I enjoy helping explain the technical stuff because I remember how frustrating I found it. I'm really glad that there are a few talking photography here ATM because it's been kinda dead for a long time lol.
I did a little edit with the aperture explanation too just thought it might explain it a little better.
