Learning manual mode doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Once you understand how shutter speed, aperture, and ISO work together, you can control your light, freeze motion, create depth, and get the consistent images you’ve been trying to achieve since you bought that camera on Black Friday 😉 If you’re trying to learn how to shoot in manual mode and want simple explanations, I can help you reach your photography goals quicker 🙌🏼

PEEPER on Instagram: "Shutter speed is one of the core principles of photography, controlling how long the camera’s shutter stays open to let light hit the sensor. Measured in fractions of a second—like 1/1000, 1/500, or 1/30—it determines not just exposure, but how motion is captured in an image. With a single adjustment, a scene can shift from perfectly frozen to beautifully blurred. A fast shutter speed, such as 1/1000, opens and closes so quickly that even fast-moving subjects appear sharp.
