A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

“You aren’t a proper photographer if you aren’t using fully manual settings”
Manual mode has its moments but auto/semi auto modes are not something that will make you ‘unprofessional’
I've used aperture priority mode since 2007, when I started taking photography seriously as a 17 year old. Fucking around with changing the aperture AND the shutter speed might make you miss the shot. At the same time, I obviously like the amount of control manual does afford, but as with all things, it's situational.
It’s also the same thing… like if you change aperture on a properly exposed photo, you have to change shutter speed as well…
This is why Aperture priority rocks.
Open lens. Frame shot. Stop down lens until light meter points within acceptable shutter speed range. Click.
