For most things photographic exposure especially the inverse square law
properly applied covers just about everything.

Hi all,
Being not particularly mathematically inclined (to put it very
charitably), I was wondering if any of you could point me toward a
sort of online idiot's guide to understanding and calculating exposure
values, depth of field, and other basics along those lines. I figure
having at least a loose grasp on details of that nature might be
helpful as I dip a toe into the world of analog.
I've posted an entry on my photo blog concerning some of the basics
that I'm already familiar with, and plan to chart my progress as I go
along. Granted, what I've written is geared toward people who know
even less about photography than I do (as hard to conceive as that may
be), but it can be found here:

It's a first baby step on a long journey, but I'd like to document it
as I go along, and share it with anyone who might be interested. So,
essentially, I do understand the stuff they probably teach you in the
first week of Introduction to Photography 101 -- but largely on an
intuitive, practical level. Are there any resources on the web where
a simpleton can go to familiarize himself with those principles on a
more technical level?
Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
