How to get better at photography
This is one of my favourite places to photograph. There is so much history in this part of Wales and today I am at Cwmorthin Slate Quarry … although it is more of a mine than a quarry really …
Whenever I am feeling a little rusty with my photography, I’ll head to a location in the daytime, where I am not chasing the light, so everything is very relaxed … I can explore different places within walking distance of where I am.
I will put my camera in manual mode, and set the ISO to 400, and then just play with the settings as I explore that location.
It can be somewhere new to you or even better, somewhere that you know well.
Then it is just a case of changing your settings to see what it does to your photographs.
When you do this in a relaxed environment, you will find that you will grow a great understanding of your three principle settings; aperture, shutter speed and ISO.
If you change one, you will have to change the other to compensate, or your exposure will change, unless that is what you are going for. But in doing this, you will become more in tune with your camera and you will end up really starting to understand the core key principles of photography, you will start to become familiar with your camera, and ultimately, when the light gets good, you will be able to get the photograph that you really want!
The camera clip I always use: Peak Design Capture clip (It's expensive but well worth it!)
