[QUOTE="FastGlass, post: 295170, member: 13822"] Yes getting out of using the auto setting allows you to control the scene. For instance, If wanting a shallow DOF in a well lit scene your camera may choose to close down the lens instead of choosing a faster shutter speed. Using Auto, it's uncertain to know what settings are going to be chosen by the camera. You would be surprise on how easy it is to shoot using Aperture or shutter priority. General rule is that if shooting subjects that are moving you shoot in shutter priority. Stationary subjects, go for Aperture priority. I also always use single point focus mode. That way you absolutely sure what the area in the image is going to be sharp. The two most important things to know about photography is #1 know your gear. Having the know how to grab your camera and set it for a specific scene and doing it fast without thinking about it means getting an awesome image or walking away with nothing because you missed it. #2 know your scene. I was told once that no matter where you find yourself. There is always something to shoot. Know how to use the existing light to your benefit and learn how to creatively compose. All of this takes practice, time, patience and a good eye to see the scene the way that will grab anyone's attention to a good photo. [/QUOTE]
