I've just started shooting in full manual mode, where as before i was using Av or Tv (Canon), i've never used full auto (i didn't see the point of buying a dslr if i wasn't going to try and use it as was intended). I take a shot of what i think the settings should be, view it on the screen to see how it's come out (over or under exposed) then change the settings as needed. I'm getting better at it, but still make stilly mistakes, i forget to check other things like, which AF i'm in or which WB setting i'm iusing (AWB, daylight,cloudy etc) or which metering mode i should be using.
Am i just forgetful or did others have the same problems going to full manual for the first time. I still use Av and Tv as i just can't think fast enough to shoot action shots, horses, dogs etc are my main targets.
This only a hobby for me and have no asperations for it to be anything else. I have a second hand Canon 1100d, not the best i know, but thought i not forking out on expensive kit if i'm never going to be able to use it properly, "all the gear and no idea" comes to mind. If anyone has any tips i would be greatful. Thanks.
