sunny 16 rule

I think i should learn the sunny 16 rule because it can help me improve and make better decisions.

You should start with the IOS setting of 100

Macro

I want to learn macro because it seems really fun and interesting, you can get really close and personal to your subject and see all the little details there is that you cant possibly see without squinting at it. I think my friends would like me to take a macro of an eye ball or something because sometimes you wonder how it looks like i mean at least you're making money right? who wouldn't want a macro?
