3 Basic Photography Settings Every Beginner Photographer Must Know . Top Story - December 2017.
Every photographer wants to be the best they can be (right?). Holding your precious DSLR camera in your hands for the first time can be an exhilarating and terrifying experience. Think of it like looking at your newborn baby for the first time. I've never had a baby but I imagine it's the equivalent to that feeling. There are so many parts! So many possibilities! Will I break it? Will I embarrass it? Will it starve today? Does it look like me? Will it dis-own me and talk behind my back to their friends? I digress. Just like parenting, getting to know your new baby camera will come slowly but surely. Although, if there's is one quintessential thing that you must know about your camera and how to make it work, it has to be the word E X P O S U R E. (You could also just throw it into automatic mode which is the human equivalent of having it raised by a foreign babysitter but then you will never get to really know your camera baby) so step away from the automatic mode and put it back into manual to have full control over your child.
