PIERRE BURGER
CAMERA:
CANON EOS 1300D
Pierre, 37, is originally from Namibia, and moved to Salisbury in 2016. Weather permitting, he likes to spend as much time as possible outdoors, and he takes his camera with him at every opportunity because "there's always something interesting to capture in beautiful Wiltshire". Pierre wants some help to improve his architectural photography. so that he can take top-quality shots of both the exteriors and interiors of historic buildings.
TECHNIQUE ASSESSMENT
David helped Pierre to set up his camera for better results both indoors and out
MANUAL MODE
Pierre likes to use Manual mode and set his aperture, but he needed some help understanding how to set the shutter speed for a good exposure, as he uses Auto ISO, which means his shots are often noisy, as his Canon 1300D tends to set a high ISO as the shutter speeds he sets are quite slow. "I set ISO100, aperture to f/8, and then increased the shutter speed until the exposure level indicator was central on the exposure index - indoors he needed a shutter speed of 8 secs," explains David.
