We can change many settings in cameras and lenses, too. These settings will change depending on what you are taking a photo of and the ambient light levels. With the correct camera settings, we can take better photos. That is why our cameras have all those settings, after all!

Join me in this episode and discover how mastering your camera settings can transform your photography. 

In this episode, I tell you.

  • The main camera settings that you can change.
  • Why I don’t use the exposure triangle.
  • Examples of what I do are sprinkled throughout the episode.
  • What if I use a phone to take photos and not a camera?
  • What if I use a film camera? For the last time.
  • And finally, what I do. Very specifically, what do I do?

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in less than 27 (ish) minutes!
