Recipe for Perfect Photos: Mastering Manual Mode Made


Listen Later

#595 In today’s episode of the podcast I share a simple, recipe-inspired approach to mastering manual camera settings. You’ll understand ISO, aperture, and shutter speed from a fresh, food-themed perspective, so you can finally create photos with confidence, not confusion.

Ultimate Photography Education Bundle: Step-by-step online photography course — https://beginnerphotopod.com/bundle

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?
