Ok, I now have a lovely new S95 and want some advice on the best way to proceed?
I dont want to clutter up the forum as there are going to be so many posts coming this way, so will ask my question here..
My only previous experience of photography is using the auto and scene modes, and I intend to go fully manual.
This will be a steep learning curve, and I imagine a very frustrating experience as Im sure I will lose so many shots due to wrong settings etc, but unless I stick at it, Im going to slip back to the ease of the pre-configured modes/auto and lose so much..
Im thinking of starting a 'learning manual mode' thread and posting everything in there, some of the stuff will be s95 specific, for instance, I just turned the camera on in manual mode and Im seeing stuff on the display that isn't listed in the manual and I dont understand it straight away.
I have bought Bryan Petersons book as well (understanding exposure), so hopefully between that and yourselves, I will get there. Im thinking this will be my photographic journey documented on this forum and you will all help me (hopefully), and see my results improve over time...
What do people think, Im aware that this will probably get noisy etc, but the best way to proceed that you are all happy with?
I can't emphasise how much of a noob I am at this..
