Pinterest is jam packed with information for the budding photographer. Although its amazing to have all that information at your fingertips, it can be hard to figure out where to start! No fear though. I've combed through Pinterest and gathered all the information you'll need to get started. Follow these 4 simple tutorials and you'll be ready to take some awesome shots!
1. Mastering Manual Mode + Getting It Right in Camera
This is a webinar with notes also included. It was made with beginners and mind and will take you through the very basics. I love that this tutorial teaches about the exposure triangle and metering. Both VERY important skills for any photographer.
2. Manual Mode Workflow
When I was first starting out, I understood what ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture were and how to control them, but I didn't understand how to work with them all together. This tutorial is SUPER helpful because it gives you a workflow.
3. Understanding White Balance
A great tutorial that explains what white balance is and how to adjust it. Honestly, 99% of my images are shot on auto white balance. If it's a little off I'll adjust in post processing when I have time to get it just right. There can be slight advantages to using the Kelvin system but our moments often happen quickly and taking time to adjust white balance just seems impractical.
4. JPEG vs. RAW
A visual guide (with explanations too) about the difference between JPEG and RAW files. Basically, you want to be shooting in RAW. 99% of the time.
