THE PHOTOGRAPHIC TRIANGLE

STOP SHOOTING AUTO
A year ago when I bought my first DSLR camera it was quite daunting trying to understand the terminology involved as it was a new language to me.

I was determined from day one that I would start shooting in MANUAL mode!

In order to do this I needed to do a lot of reading to come to terms with the relationship between f-stops, shutter speed and ISO settings. The reference material which helped me was a BLOG I discovered on the internet called “Stop shooting in Auto”.

Here is the link: http://stopshootingauto.com/exposure-lessons-in-order/

This is an excellent reference tool containing a series of exposure lessons to help you understand how your camera works.

CAMERA DEMONSTRATION

Another useful link I found was a fun interactive one with a camera, where you can choose the exposure mode, f-stop, shutter speed, ISO and exposure compensation and actually see what result this will have on the picture. You can also choose the light (illumination) level.

Obviously this is just a guide and the best thing you can do is to grab your camera and shoot away!
