Hey guys,
Me again curious to know what mode some of you shoot in, from beginner to paid professional. I have no problem shooting in manual mode, I'm confident enough on how to read the light meter, histogram, etc. To get the proper exposure. I was reading an article earlier this week and there were some pros saying they shoot in shutter priority, aperture priority, etc. So they don't miss the moment.
When I first started I was in aperture priority almost all the time, while learning about exposure, the different metering modes, etc but once I understood that, I switched to manual mode to have better control over my photos .
So... I bring this up mainly because I do find myself adjusting shutter speed a lot when shooting outdoors and shadows come into play or clouds (ISO set to lowest if possible and I set the aperture to what I want to shoot at) and I can see missing certain shots as a real thing. I don't have a studio so I can see where one can control lighting, etc shooting in manual is easier or just makes more sense. . I have a kid so most of my stuff is outdoors, lots of movement and ever changing light.
I'm not looking for a "hey you should shoot in X" just curious what all of you shoot in and if that changes based on the situation.
