where can I learn? aperture, shutter, zoom, fstops etc

Hi All

I've been hacking around for a few years and have learnt how to
take some good shots with some fundamental theories (eg quick
shutter speed means wide aperture which gives a short depth of
field and makes a nice portrait shot)

...but that's about where it ends.

Whilst reading and article in these forums about why digital
cameras have less depth of field, I realised that it's time I
learnt the basics.

I tried howstuffworks.com but I didn't get the basic information I
was after. (I'm thinking a side on images of lenses and comparisons
of what that does to an image or something? Does anyone know of a
website with a really good intro?

Thanks all!
