Hi Nicole- Thanks for the question, I appreciate your input and will get started on a video to address it.I know exactly what you are talking about.

What I would recommend in the mean time is to shoot on Aperture or Shutter Priority modes only (not manual). What this does is lets you decide on one of the two settings and the camera does the rest. Its very difficult for beginners to shoot on manual because you have both settings to worry about. Standby for the video!

Hi Michael...Your videos have been quite helpful. Would it be possible to feature one on how to choose the correct aperture and corresponding shutter speeds for different lighting situations? I am a bit confused about balancing out the two for a proper exposure. Thanks!

I got a questions.

Usually if i see photos on forums...

They usually say i use a 2 second exposure at f/22(ISO 200)

I understand the f/22 and the ISO...

But what is "2 second exposure"???

True statements, but could be a little more in depth. Still, a quick and honest definition of exposure.
