The First Thirty Seconds

We can all relate to the shot that got away because you weren’t quite ready. Join Antonio and Tom as they share their secrets on general preparedness, with an emphasis on getting ready before you see something you want to shoot by assessing the basic lighting conditions and subject matter you’re dealing with. They discuss the pressure to catch time sensitive events vs. the temptation to just let the camera do everything. But the more you do manually the more creative control you have. Rather than evading the issue, the “Switch to Manual” guys admit that often the solution resides in striking a balance that works for you.
