This week’s theme is all about shooting in manual mode. Don’t stop reading! I know it's scary making the jump to M for the first time. For some reason, the idea of being in full manual control of your camera can cause steady hands to tremble. I’ve been there. The best way to remove that fear is to learn about exposure. Let’s jump into it!

2017 Week 3 Theme: How To Improve Your Photos By Mastering Manual Mode

This week, you’ll learn about the fundamental elements involved in creating an exposure. Then, you’ll experiment with manual mode until you feel confident. Finally, you’ll share your favorite images from the week.

Once you learn how to use manual mode, I’m sure you’ll be hooked. The power and control going full manual provides is addictive. Personally, my photography has come on leaps and bounds since mastering it. It’s all about wrestling back control from your camera’s onboard computer. Own the creative process!
