What You’ll Learn:

• The exposure triangle (ISO, aperture, shutter speed) controls photo brightness and artistic style.
• Each element is connected, and changes in one require thoughtful adjustments to the others.
• Mistakes are part of the learning process—experimenting and “tasting” your results is essential.
• Practical, easy-to-remember ISO settings based on different lighting scenarios are provided, along with advice on aperture and shutter speed choices.

Discussion & Reflection Questions

• How does thinking of camera settings as ingredients in a recipe affect your approach to shooting in manual?
• Which setting (ISO, aperture, or shutter speed) do you find most challenging, and how might you experiment with adjusting it?
• What parallels do you see between culinary mistakes and photographic errors, and how can embracing them help you improve?
