Shooting Modes

11 years 4 months ago #258997 by frs882
Just curious about what mode you guys prefer to shoot photos in or what you normally use most of the times when shooting. Am fairly new to DSLR I have a Canon EOS 1100D (been doing me justice thus far) and I think I am addicted to manual mode. The thing about it too is, I've been watching a lot of these Brian Peterson videos and he shoots in manual most of the times and that just motivates me to continue shooting in manual.

Aperature 75%
Manual 25%
These are estimates only..... :)

Why so serious?

Mostly Tv (shutter priority) mode for me. But then I have zero interest in Brian Peterson videos. Any time I want to see my photography hero I just look in the mirror. :S

Manual Mode 99% of the time. Aperture about 1%, but to tell you the truth I do not think I have used that in the past 2years at least. I tried some of the other modes when I got my D50 way back when, and never found I liked them that much. I even tried the Greenbox modes as well to see what they did, I was not impressed with them at all. I even shot in manual quite often with my Nikon CP995 P&S camera, I came to digital from film, and my last Slr was a Pentax MX, which had a battery only for the on board meter. So using modes is something I have never adopted.

M 75%, Av 24%, P 1%. I don't like how my Canon DSLRs do P, but my Sony NEX thinks more like I do, and I've found I don't mind how P works on it.
