- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos OK to edit
Ok so Ive been taking photos for about 7 years or so but I have been relying on the semi auto mode that is (A) and I never bother with metering modes. I do change the ISO but I dont really know what Im doing I just play around with it, to be honest I dont even know what it actually does. I do also change the f stops and I know that to get a blurry backround and sharp subject I should set the f stop to the lowest number and If i want to blur out water I set the f stop to something like f22.
Basically what im saying is I want to take my photography further by having more control over what im actually doing in camera and not relying on photoshop to save my shots. The best I can do is compose my shots the rest is done in PS. Id like to gain a better understanding of ISO and what it does and when to use the different ISO settings? Also Id like to learn about the different metering modes and again when to use them?
So my main goal now is to be able to learn about every thing I have mentioned above and then know when to deploy the knowladge I learn and be able to put it all together on the shoot so that my photos are exactly as I want them to be. Should I go on a photography course maybe? Any input would be greatly appreaciated.
