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.

Light changes while hiking (alien.top)

Was on a nature hike recently. Wanted to capture things like birds, flowers, naturescapes, etc. Full tree canopy and shaded at times, wide open and sunny at other. Was a guided hike and I didn’t want to hold up the group. Ended up flipping it to Auto instead of fiddling with shutter/aperture. How does an experienced photographer handle that scenario? I feel so dirty for using it on Auto.

"bullshit", "crap", "go and read up"

A bit aggressive aren't we? Is something bothering you and you are taking it out against strangers on the internet? This is not encouraging anyone to have a constructive exchange of opinions with you.

If you understand how a camera calculates exposure, you can set aperture/shutter priority and use exposure compensation to get the images you want while being faster adapting to changes in lighting conditions. Plenty of tutorials about that as well.
