Camera Labs

Just saw this posting on FB from Make Use Of. While >50% of the time the information they provide is not really new or exciting, when I saw this I knew I had to share it. I did search the forums and could not find another link to this or the related sub links.

Make Use Of recently posted an article with links and descriptions of 3 Online Camera Simulators. I've been reading books and while I'm starting to understand more about focal lengths, f-stop, etc. my first impression of these simulators was "wow". This can help those of us who are starting out and may not see where/when/how various settings affect our shots.

Here is the link to the article: http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/3-online-camera-simulators-photography-beginners/

Here are the links to the individual simulators (if you don't want to see the makeuseof article)
CameraSim SLR Simulator http://camerasim.com/camera-simulator/
TheSimCam Film and Digital Camera Simulator http://www.photonhead.com/simcam/
SLR Camera Simulator http://www.kamerasimulator.se/eng/?page_id=2

The last one is available as an iPhone app.

Hope others find this as useful as I did. Nice to take the excellent advice found on the main site and in the forums and try them out so to speak to learn a bit more.
