>>3034983Same here, but then I started when there were no automatic settings. We used things like light meters to figure things out. It is a part of the fun.
>>3034988If you are using the auto modes you do not need to know anything about the meter, the camera is doing it for you.
>>3035159While I do agree somewhat, I took notes when I was learning, and never worried about shots costing anything. But yeah there are far too many I just push the button people out there.
>>3035198>Little reason to go full manual all the time unless you're in full control of every variable in your shoot, or you're a photography student and your lessons are stressing manual settings, traditional numbers, etc.Oh really! Or you actually like to participate in the making of an image, and not just be a button pusher.
>>3035228Kek yeah hence my image.
My camera is in manual pretty much 100% of the time. Now I know that will rustle the jimmies of many of you, but that is not my problem. Truthfully I do not care what you like to shoot in, or what you shoot with. That some of you actually do not see a reason for using it is your problem. I was probably shooting when your dads were still in your grandpas balls.
