Photographers, what mode do you shoot out of?
I shoot out of Manual. I was told by this photographer the other day to stick with TV and AV and that using Manual meant you were trying to be smarter than the camera.
I like both Priority settings, but they do seem to limit you. Thoughts? |
I normaly use Av, I like to be able to control the depth of field.
But that doesn't really matter with porn shooting anyway. I don't see the point in Manual as my eyes don't work quite as well as the light sensors in my camera |
i shoot tv because I am usually hand held and available light - av mode is good too in certain cases but usually not sharp

I dont shoot much for work, so I use the Auto most of the time. But I am happy as hell that I have the other features.

It depends on what you're shooting and your lighting scheme. :upsidedow
|
I usually use Av mode, but I tend to do outdoor landscape shots. I sit at f8 or f11 to fit into the lens sweet spot and minimise diffraction.
For macro shots I also use Av to decide how much depth of field I want to show. The only time I've found full manual useful is with a diffused flash and a camera that had a fixed flash exposure. |
The great thing about digital is you can see the result right away, so why not experiment with manual settings? It's not like you're booking a model for a shoot, guessing on the exposure & waiting for the images to be developed to discover you were off & they're all underexposed. Have fun!

Dean, I just didn't like the way the photographer told me that I was trying to outsmart the camera. People say it depends on the light, but I don't see how, Manual offers greater control and you can see your exposure balance all the same. I admit, you are faster in the priority settings but if you want a great series of shots, I would say through it in bracket-exposure and fire away in Manual! |
that guy that gave u that advice meant shooting with existing-light situations.
it's impossible to shoot with studio flash and use anything but manual (and get a correctly exposed picture)....this is because the light source taking the pic (the flash) only exists for a brief moment in time, your camera sets itself only to what it can "see", not what it's going to be seeing |
Manual over here, Unless there is many holes in the lighting at which point I'll use aperture auto .. but usually even when shooting sports I like to go manual .. it's become second nature

Manual with strobes.

Smarter Than The Camera

These days I'm using manual mode more often than not. A photographer should be a lot smarter than his camera. Cameras are idiots.Mike Jones |
Bravo Mike great work and I have been full manual for 5 yrs. Its not hard to learn especially in the digital age where you get instant feed back. If you dont want to practice with a model your paying buy a used mannequin .Practice with that, I bought one I named clay and he will sit still for hours while I try different things(setting, light) and it made a great prop for two of my shoots:)
