Mum went to a photography short course at the weekend - she has been trying not to use any of the settings on her camera but doing it manually instead - its taking her a while to get it and she seems to want to take 5 pics of the same shot to see which one she prefers but its OK. So she is using her tripod a bit more and experimenting a bit but admits that she is glad she has the other settings to go back to, if we refuse to be patient when she fluffs around.
