How do you learn? Are or were you one of those that likes learning the steps in order, taking classes, or something else entirely? Personally, like in all other things like writing and guitar or whatever, I like to learn the absolute basics then go by feel. Trial and error as it were. Watching peoples numbers, or settings, I learned the basic places to start when shooting in manual, then worked out what works best for that day from there. Another great tool is discovering Instagram. By watching what people like on my page, and what people I'm following are doing, I get a decent feel for what makes or doesn't make a decent photograph. By trying to duplicate what I see that I like, I'm getting a better understanding of my lenses, how to decide quickly which one to grab, and how to get on the right setting in manual and get a picture just as quick as someone walking around in Auto. Obviously, learning never ends, and I don't want it to, so maybe there's some other or better ways for me to learn.
