Does Gear Matter?

Why Manual Mode Matters.

This week I'm talking about the importance of mastering manual mode and how comprehension of the exposure triangle is the key. Today's camera's are small computers - and, can offer many types of assistance, via pre-programmed options (Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, Program, Auto, etc). But, before relying on these modes, we should first truly understand -- and master -- manual mode. Consequently, manual mode success is rooted in a core familiarity and understanding of the exposure triangle; ISO, Shutter Speed, and Aperture. Today, I'm breaking down the exposure triangle and it's connection to manual mode.
