This is probably the most popular question in all photo forums – “What are the settings?”. You know, whenever someone posted a good picture, forum goers will then post that.
- What are the aperture setting, shutter speed ?
- What is the ISO, what is the zoom range, what is the flash setting etc. etc. ?
I am always puzzled by that kind of questions. You know, we shall ask “Why” questions instead of “What” questions, such as why you took the picture this way, why you set the aperture to F4.0 etc. etc. ? You can learn from good pictures only if you know the Why’s …
I mean, will you take a good picture if you know the setting, even though you’re in the same spot at the exact same time ?
