How to Use Manual Mode to Understand Your Camera
Today I show you an exercise I do to really master manual mode.
This will get you really understanding each setting that you need to understand to take better photographs.
I don’t always shoot in Manual mode, but if you do this and really take your time to play with your settings, aperture, shutter speed and ISO, you will gain a deep understanding of your camera and how it works. I have done this for years and I still do it today when I am in a relaxed environment.
I suppose you could called this a landscape photography vlog ... but I prefer "on location landscape photography!"
