Play with the exposure and learn more about the shutter
I’ve been playing aroumd with a little over-exposing my photo. It is good to do some trial and error with the creative modes. How will it effect your photo and settings. It is good to know your camera. Play around in TV and AV modes or why not in manual mode. You can not paint if you do not know their brushes. Photography is just to paint with the light.
You are going to venture away from the automatic mode for you to take control of your camera. Play has always been a great way to learn and always will be. I have previously written about both the aperture and shutter speed.
I think though Fotonomy writes well and perhaps a little more comprehensive about mastering shutter speed and aperture.
I myself almost exclusively use the manual mode now because I feel I have better control of the images I want to paint. Certainly be the ultimate geek but never forget about the picture. Terje Hellesø have very right in that we too often focus on the technology and forget the imagery.
If you want to learn more about the imagery, so I made a compilation of good sources to read on here on Photo and Pictures. In addition, Digital ProTalk made a statement about a couple of messages about good simple things you can think of.
