You will be stooting in manual and working with: ISO, F/stop, and Aperture. I know this challenge may sound like a lot, but until you understand one its hard to use the other. I found two links that I think will really help to understand how they work together. For me I had to just go out and play. I would start with the lighting and subject(s) that you know well. Just keep in mind you are now thinking in three and they all work together.
You will need to post your settings with you photo(s). It will help people when they vote if they have a understanding of what you went through and what you learned. So tell us please. Most of all have fun and my hope for you is you will never shoot in auto again.
Hi April -
This is going to be a great challenge especially for people who are going full manual for the first time!
I would like to have you re-post under Themes & Challenges since that is where people are use to finding these challenges. On your page I do have a suggested verbiage.
Thanks for hosting the challenges. I learn so much from following the discussion on these challenges! One question...
Are you leaving all three parameters open ended or will you set one - a certain aperture or shutter speed? Fixing one may make it easier to see how manipulating the other two would result in a desired result.
Or is the goal simply to get people to shoot in complete manual mode and get used to setting all three?
@aprilmilani I think it is getting lost on the General discussion thread. People look for the challenges on the Themes and challenges thread. Could you re-post on that thread? Perhaps you could suggest some starting aperture settings, only a suggestion.
