Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual Mode

Mastering aperture priority and shutter priority is the starting place for photographers who wish to move on from using the automatic setting on their digital cameras and todays article, by Andrew Goodall, explains in an easy to understand way what these functions are, and how to use them. Andrew writes for Natures Image Photography and is a nature photographer based in Australia. He manages a gallery in Montville full of landscape photography from throughout Australia.

After buying a good digital camera with the best intentions, they soon give up and switch to automatic.
