Photography tips (2)

My next tip.
Now that we have helped lower camera shake (more on removing even more risk of shake latter) start using full manual mode on your camera for exposure.
This achieves two things.
First it slows down the process of taking photographs. This gives you back control and makes you think more about the image you are trying to capture.
For example do you want lots of depth of field or do you want to blur the background. Do you want to include natural light or not.
Now you are in manual mode you have 4 things you can set on the camera and a few others outside the camera each will have a big impact on the way the photo looks. each variable controls light in a different way.
I will be discussing each of these over the next few days.
