Manual Mode. Since I could control both the aperture and the shutter speed to have a better control for the lighting situation. Many times the Shutter mode or the Aperture mode alone could not give me enough lighting as I want it to.

I USE TOTALLY AUTO MODE. WHY NOT USE THE TECHNOLOGY ?
I THINK YOUR ON-LINE ARTICLES ARE GREAT. I WISH I HAD DISCOVERED THEM, BEFORE I PUT OUT GOOD MONEY WASTED ON A CLASS.

When I first got my DSLR, about nine months ago, I started with AUTO. I quickly found that I hated what the camera decides to use as settings. I quickly switched over to Program Auto Exposure. I enjoyed that mode until I took an introductory photography course on SLRs. For the past eight months I have used Manual Exposure 99% of the time. It has meant that I missed out on a few shots since I had the wrong setting or I took to long configuring the camera. But I see it as not having missed a shot. Just delayed it. One day I will be back to take that picture. Cheers!

80 % – Apperture Priority
15 % -Manual Priority
5 % – Shutter Priority
0% – Program Priority (Never found this mode so appealing)

I use manual for the most part, but sometimes aperture priority

Depends on what I’m shooting. I prefer Manual, and use it the vast majority of the time, but when I’m trying to capture a toddler moving from one activity to the next faster than I can adjust my settings, I pop into Aperture priority.

I usually used aperture mode. i just started to learn my camera and it’s features and I really like to capture flowers and animals with blurry backgrounds. But i also want to used shutter priority modes in the future.

Rachel:
I’m an amatuer but I have found something that helped me out. It may help you also. I read Bryan Peterson’s ‘Understanding Exposure’, and it was probably the best thing I could do as far as learning how to actually use my camera the way it was meant to be used. I highly recommend this book!

First it was always aperture, because I thought it would be really important to well composed photography, all the cool “professional” touches, etc. etc. Then, I spent too much time at school and sports events, and got irritated with the blurring, so I switched to shutter speed (which probably wasn’t the way to fix it, now that I think about it)
Now, i’m trying to understand my camera and make use of the little adjustments I’m allowed, so I’m trying manual. (dying at it– not productive!)
