Adventures in Digital Photography With Linux, part 4: Fundamentals

So far in this randomly-appearing series I haven’t talked all that much about Linux, but mostly camera gear. Today I’m going to talk about photography fundamentals. Because a skilled person can use an image editor to doctor any photo to look like anything, but for me that is not the point. I’m not interested in devoting my life to repairing inferior photos; I want to take the best-quality pictures possible and not have to spend endless hours mucking about to make them look like anything.
