Was on a nature hike recently. Wanted to capture things like birds, flowers, naturescapes, etc. Full tree canopy and shaded at times, wide open and sunny at other. Was a guided hike and I didn’t want to hold up the group. Ended up flipping it to Auto instead of fiddling with shutter/aperture. How does an experienced photographer handle that scenario? I feel so dirty for using it on Auto.
Buying a camera with all the options to take photos the way you want it and using it on Auto is like buying a Ferrari to go shopping at the Supermarket.
Take your time to understand your gear, read the manual, watch some videos before you press the button because gear without skill is useless.
