I have been wanting to learn how to use manual mode for quite sometime. thanks for sharing. I absolutely loved how you explained this and I can’t wait for more.

I can justify anything now, because milk is good for you, right?!? Thanks for the camera tutorial...I'm looking forward to the next explanations... maybe I'll learn it this time!

I yearn for simple instructions to help it make sense - some "standard" that I can "go to"...especially under time constraints or pressure. Now, I get all 3 concepts in limited ways with ISO being the easiest to understand (prob. since I can relate it to shooting the old/film way), and shutter speed coming next (amount of time it's open allows more or less light based on speed), and yes aperature (size/opening).....but actually combining the 2 concepts (shutter with aperature) into practice once I'm in manual is the tough one. So if possible, could you please start us with a basic scenario for taking photos indoors in a darkish room - let's say using 800 as a standard or something similar so we don't have to think about all 3 and can just have to deal with the "other" 2 (knowing that some cameras can be higher ISO of course). So then what - the kids are fooling around, the adults are yelling to "HURRY UP" or "What? another photo?"....so I end up going right to auto. What could I do instead if the ISO is already set at 800. Go to aperature setting, then what? This is where I get totally lost and unsure when time is crunched. I fall back to the dreaded auto., or I get mediocre-dark photos which get lightened in PS. It works, but what could I do better....? How about a "fallback" simple formula (if there is such a thing?). I would literally kiss your feet if you could help! Or at least buy you a giant bag of Oreos that you don't have to share.... Thank you!

Loved this class :) - I have to make sure I came back for the next installment. I am so with you on the manual settings - once you have a taste for them, you always try new things. Although I do like Bryan Peterson's books, I am not there to understand all of it :) You so crack me up, Janet. Loved this class :) – I have to make sure I came back for the next installment.
