I have had my DSLR for a couple of months now and am becoming more confident every day. But I am still using the auto settings on the camera instead of choosing the settings myself, something that I am now ready to change.
I am here to announce that I am going to go... FULL MANUAL! lol

If you have any tips on how I should start, please comment below. I am always open to learning!
I have read that the best place to start is to ensure you have a low ISO so that it reduces the noise in the photo's you take. So I am setting my ISO fairly low and leaving it be.
For my Macroshots using my macro lens, I am trying to get as much detail as possible, so I will set my F stop higher to get a better depth of field.
These are my starting points. I don't want to mess about with too many settings at once. I want to be able to absorb the information that I am learning so that it stays with me and becomes muscle memory.
Wish me luck!
Thanks for reading.
