For a new photographer, this video was invaluable. Seriously, it helped SO much!!

I've watched a ton of videos, and done a lot of reading, and not once has anyone suggested the 'lock it into manual once you've got the exposure' tip towards the end. This would have saved me a lot of headaches!

Great video!
