Everyone has been great here. Might be the last forum on the internet with no forum police and no holier than thou attitudes :thumbup:
To be blunt, I mainly shoot females in the style of suicidegirls.com. Lots of natural light, sometimes even outside, never in a studio, and never any studio lighting. A big majority of the shots are at 50mm with a big aperture, sometimes all the way up to 1.4. My question (or debate) has to do with shooting mode. I know quite a few SG staff photographers that only shoot in full manual mode. But my question is, why? Why not shoot in aperture mode and set the ISO to automatic? In my experience, due to the amount of light in these sets the camera almost always chooses an ISO of 100, and since it sets the shutter speed all I have to worry about is my aperture setting.
Can anyone give me a really good reason why I would want to use manual mode and fully control shutter speed, aperture, and ISO?
Thanks!
