Weekly Photography Challenge Thread (see first post rules and then the poll at top before entering)

I CAN do it manually. But I normally only use manual for long exposures. Now that’s not to say I use auto. I use either shutter or aperture priority depending on what I’m shooting. Mainly aperture priority. Especially when you’re taking photos every few seconds, like at a wedding, for example, I don’t have time to play with full manual settings.

Shoot an old film camera with a manual aperture ring on the lens and a knob with different shutter speeds with no built in light meter then you can come talk about shooting manually and shutting traps

In other news, yesterday I did something.

 

Thank you.

 

My submission if not to late.

 

Sorry, my comment wasn’t directed at you. It was a general complaint about braggarts who actually don’t know the basics or how to work manual settings.

Good luck everyone! You're fate is in the hands of @NateWest

 

Was this taken this week?

 

I feel you, I was messing around haha. I do agree that everyone should learn how to properly use manual setting just in case. It’s really not hard after messing around for a couple hours. That being said there is a time and place for it. However, the fact the prosumer cameras still have an auto and a program function set boggles my mind.

 

I’m just finally learning how to “master” shooting in manual. That understanding exposure book in the Amazon links made me almost an instantly better photographer after reading just a little of it. I still obviously have a lot to learn, but I won’t ever shoot in auto again.

 

Winner
Congrats @SoCalTacoTruck

 

congrats! @SoCalTacoTruck and for next challenge

 

Yay! Thank you!!! Sending a PM in a second!

 

Wait, so do I need to you now instead of @medic2230 or @uhplifted?

 

No. It is always acceptable to @medic2230 but not acceptable to @uhplifted, unless I was selected a winner of a challenge week, then you can me.

 

Ok. But what if I want to you? Is that acceptable? Because I know it is always acceptable to @medic2230, but I think it should always be acceptable to you as well. Not just @medic2230. Know what I'm sayin?

 

No.

 

Now its @medic2230

 

I thought this was a free message board? Probably a good thing you and @medic2230 are not mods, or I would probably get banned for being so annoying!

 

You may @uhplifted at any time since he wants to be so vocal in this thread. If he has any complaints he may send them to tongueafartbox@gmail.com
