Hello Everyone...
I am just beginning to dive into the world of photography and trying to avoid complete automatic modes on my camera. After all I spent the money on a DSLR and not a point and shoot camera. I currently have the following gear:
Am I correct with all of that?
Would and/or should I use manual mode if I am just walking around snapping pictures? How do I perfect using Manual mode? When in manual mode do you rely on the light meter to make sure your shot is not under or over exposed? Is there a good basis on what settings you would use for a portrait or landscape shot? I understand that for a portrait I would use a lower f-stop and a landscape I would use a higher f-stop. However, how do I know how far to go for either one? Also, how do I figure out what my shutter speed and ISO should be with the corresponding settings?
Thanks in advance, I know I have a lot of questions. I would like to fully understand photography and have been reading and watching videos to absorb as much info as I can.
