You are probably making it harder than manual mode. Many people struggle with exposure settings, uncertain about the aperture, shutter speed and how to balance the ISO. The key numbers are not missing-this is understanding how these options interact in real time.
Coming from you Benjamin jaworskyj – just learn photographyThis practical video makes you use manual mode step by step. Jaworskyj indicates how aperture, shutter speed, and ISOs work together in various light situations. He begins in shade, uses a f/1.8 aperture to achieve the shallow depth of the area. Keeping the ISO at 100, he adjusts the shutter speed until the exposure meter reads zero. Result? A well -balanced image with a soft background. This method, which he calls a “zero game”, simplifies the exposure adjustment without overcomplicating the process.
Things change when he goes straight into the sun. Even at the highest shutter speed of 1/4,000 S, the image is very bright. This highlights a common problem – sometimes your favorite settings do not work due to light conditions. To compensate, he shuts down the aperture slightly, giving him more control. This displays an important lesson: Settings are not certain rules. They should be environmentally friendly.
Still beyond objects, Jaworskyj applies similar principles on a moving subject. He catches a flower in the air, first with a sharp shutter speed, then with a slow speed. The gap is striking. A fast shutter accumulates speed speed, while a slow movement transforms the movement into staining. This is where manual mode gives you control. Auto mode will not estimate the movement, but the manual mode lets you adjust to the situation. Watch the video above for full randon from Jaworskyj.
