Assign #21 Shoot Manual

[Nikon Fan]

Hobbes idea gave me an idea for this weeks assignment. I know I'm not the only one that sometimes just pops the camera on auto to try and focus on composition, so this weeks assignment is to shoot manual. Be creative or as boring as you'd like, just don't use any auto settings...everything must be manual For some this won't be much of a challenge, but for newbies it may be more of a challenge

As always a new assignment will be posted next Monday, but feel free to post pics in this thread even after the new assignment is posted. Good luck and have fun

This is a VERY good assignment for those that are used to auto! I'm one of those that this isn't new for though...I tend to mess a lot of shots up with auto for some reason!

do you want exif info for proof? :mrgreen:

 

[Corry]

Hey speaking of Exif..can anyone tell me where to FIND that info? I don't understand it?

 

[EVPohovich]

It should be part of your photo viewing software. Also the info can be found in Photoshop by going File > File Info and then select EXIF in the dropdown menu.

EXIF.org

Thanks!!!! That helps a lot!!!

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.

From you of course Jon... :lmao: I say if you feel you need to prove it, then post the data :lmao: Actually it's a good idea though, I think it helps a lot in understanding...

Cool, manual focus as well I hope?

 

[EVPohovich]

The only Auto thing I normally use is AWB (Auto White Balance). Might give this a try without that on. Hmmm.....

Cool, manual focus as well I hope?

Yep Everything manual...

sweeeeet. so i'm assuming we arent aloud to meter at all. because that's truly manual. just guessing. but then...are we aloud to edit them afterwards?

Well if the meter is not affecting the f/stop or shutterspeed I don't see a problem, but it would be cooler if no metering was used.


Post-editing? :lmao:

 

[Nikon Fan]

No editing...and that goes double for me :lmao: I suppose you could meter if you wanted...but that's up to each person...
