RE: Full Manual Photography: An Illustrated Tutorial for Beginners
Amazing post!
On the manual mode you need be aware if your subject is moving from an shadow spot to an bright spot, then you need to ajust the settings
Thank you so much @mihainegurici :)
That's right! You are in command of the amount of light you're letting through your lens with manual mode so you need to be aware of the light in your scene. The human eye responds automatically to changing light conditions so figuring out the amount of light in a given scene is difficult for beginners to judge. With practice, certain favourite camera settings will reveal themselves over time depending on your gear. The specific settings I used on the above photo will very likely be irrelevant in another scene so I decided not to include them. The process of trial and error is really fun when learning manual so beginners shouldn't get frustrated :)
