… a third installment of responses to “Wise Words from Working Photographers.”

Chris, a student of my Creative Fundamentals, Urban landscapes and Night Light photo workshops weighed in with this wise quote:

“If nothing’s changed, don’t change anything!”

Chris explains: “People get intimidated by ‘manual mode’. If they’re shooting under the same light, outdoors in the middle of the day when light isn’t changing, don’t mess with settings. Check histograms to see if you got it. Or just bracket -1, 0, +1 f-stops and pick the exposure you like.”

Wise words indeed! Thanks Chris
