Mastering manual mode is the next step in taking control of your camera so you can make informed decisions about your photography style, direction and creative ideas.
In this photography workshop, we’ll look at white balance metering and exposure compensation; how depth of field and understanding light can balance technical mastery with creative mindfulness; and we will explore methods professional photographers use to make informed creative decisions.
