Tweet<\/a><\/div>\n

On Saturday, we hosted a good crew looking to refresh or develop good base photo skills.<\/em><\/p>\n

We looked at the basics of exposure<\/a><\/strong> and how to master manual exposure mode.
\n… It’s scary but essential if you want to drive creative control yourself.<\/p>\n

And contrary to popular belief<\/strong> it’s not that hard<\/em> to get good, solid exposures in manual exposure mode – at least when you understand the concepts and steps involved.<\/p>\n

Benefits of manual exposure mode:<\/strong>
\n\u2022 YOU control brightness of your photos and choose creative outcomes
\n\u2022 Avoid letting the camera decide on exposure – the camera will choose different exposures based on what it aims at (dark tree or bright snow…) rather than what light level exists.
\n\u2022 Avoid grey snow scenes (a sure way to know someone doesn’t understand exposure!)<\/p>\n

In three hours participants were getting consistently better exposures.
\nAnd more smiles. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
