Hey Reader!

Okay… quick question. Have you ever stood there with your camera, staring at your settings like they’re some kind of cryptic wizard spell?

I hear it all. the. time.

"I just get them all confused."

"What is f-stop?"

"URG! I'll just shoot on auto"

NO MORE.

Because same. The Exposure Triangle used to make me want to yeet my camera off a cliff… lovingly, of course.
