We can then get outside to shoot pictures armed with your new knowledge and put some theory into practice.
We will then take a look at your results on my laptop or your computer and discuss the images with an eye to making improvements (if required) with me offering tips and suggestions.
Get off AUTO settings
How to master and take advantage of manual camera settings
Choosing an auto setting or mode to shoot in can seem like the easy option, after all the camera does it all for you dosen’t it ? Well it can do but getting off of auto settings and using your camera in manual mode gives you so much more control of your picture taking. Remember your cameras meter only sees a mid grey and averages out the exposure so if you are working in a dark location or a very bright beach for example it will give you a mid grey exposure. Understanding manual mode allows you to take control of the camera to achieve better images.
