What’s In The Bag? Mr. Dowling has some Manual advice for you in Part 8

As we shot this series, Kristian Dowling was very passionate about what he used and how he shot. He also wanted to make a special point about taking your camera out of auto and shooting manual.
The best way, since basically, your camera’s meter reads reflected light, and not ambient.
He’ll explain it all to you.

And the funny thing was that as we shot, the natural light was shifting and changing like crazy. Add that to trying to shoot huge moving reflective surfaces and we had some challenges.
But the info is solid.

There is one more in Kristian’s series and we know you’ll dig it.
A bit of his background and solid advice for the the new photogs .
Coming up next.
