Project 9: Don't let the camera rule you

In "Project 9: Don't let the camera rule you", we are told to practice using our camera in Manual Mode and experiment with over/under exposure.  Ideally, learning to be "more confident with what your eyes tell you."

The following were all shot in Manual Mode this morning in Golden Gate Park. Exposure settings are indicated below each:
ISO 100 1/125 f/5.6 300mm

ISO 100 1/1000 f/5.6 133mm

ISO 100 .4 f/29 90mm

ISO 100 1/40 f/5.6 90mm

ISO 100 1/50 f/5.0 64mm




All images processed in Photoshop for exposure/color and sharpening ONLY.






Impressions: I think this lesson is very important in developing skill with your camera. It is also important to spend a great deal of time learning exposure and your camera. The necessity of knowing what exposure to use in any given situation can mean the difference in getting the shot, or not.
