Its being a while though, its just that have being a lot busy guys but am back and better.....For those who do not know or have little idea about this, i thought it necessary to bring to you this fresh photography tips. Aperture-priority mode is the favored auto-exposure mode of many photographers because of the control it gives, from people shooting vast landscapes to those photographing the smallest of insects. It's considered by many to be the mode that maps most closely onto how certain kinds of photographs demand photographers think about how they're shooting. Here's how to get yourself out of green auto and into shooting a mode that lets you control, and forces you to think about, some important aspects of your shot.
Note: This is a quick-and-dirty primer; for even more gory technical details, head over to How to Choose a Lens Aperture (F Stop), which covers a lot of things skimmed over or ignored in this article.

Steps

  1. Set your camera to aperture priority mode. This differs from maker to maker (read your manual), but here are some hints for a few common types of digital camera:
    • Most Nikon digital SLRs: You have a mode dial. Turn this to "A". Once you've done this, spinning your front control dial (on your right-hand grip, very close to the power button) will adjust your aperture. (If you have a camera without a front control dial, then your rear control dial will adjust your aperture instead.)
      The mode dial on a Nikon camera (actually an F55 film camera), set to A.
