FREE Pixtus Photography Cheat Sheet

The Pixtus Photography Cheat Sheet is finally here! It's been a long process to get to this point but I am VERY excited to get this project completed and out to our members.

What is a Photography Cheat Sheet?
This Pixtus Photography Cheat Sheet is a nice all-in-one reference which explains a lot of various items in regards to photography. Items such as Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO are explained in such a way that can be easily understood. Other items such as camera modes are explained as well as a common composition technique and explanation of how sensor sizes affect your image. I have seen many different variations of cheat sheets on the web and none included everything I wanted so we decided to put one together for you guys.

Why create a Photography Cheat Sheet?
Over the past several years I have been asked the same handful of questions from fellow photographers in regards to many aspects of photography. I don't mind being asked the same questions time and time again because we were ALL beginners at one point or another and I like to offer up help to others as a pay it forward to those that have helped me along the way. With that being said, I have always wanted a quick image and/or handout to reference to in order to help explain various aspects of photography. I personally can not count the number of times I've drawn out the differences in Sensor Sizes on cocktail napkins and such in order to help friends visualize why they make a difference and how they can affect your actual Field of View. This Cheat Sheet can now help me and others out there that are wanting to learn and/or wanting to help others learn more about photography.

Thanks. I think. ha! Yea the others are very nice and definitely paved the way but I really wanted to integrate the Rule of Thirds and Field of View sections in there some way since I tend to explain that quite a bit and felt there was a need to have it added.
