My Lockdown Garden

NEW 2026

This talk covers a wide range of camera settings, explaining when and why to use each one.

We start with shooting in Auto mode and progress to more advanced features like Camera Focus Shift Shooting.

It's aim is to demonstrate to both novice and seasoned photographers the full potential of their cameras

New Photographers might find getting started with their first DSLR daunting due to the numerous settings to understand

I will try to guide them through these settings, explaining each one so they can confidently select the most suitable options for various scenarios

Experienced Photographers often focus on a specific genre and utilize only a limited range of their camera’s settings

My goal is to remind these photographers about the various settings they can access and to enhance their overall understanding of their equipment

For practical purposes, I will primarily focus on the Nikon range of cameras

This is due to 50 years of experience using Nikon cameras, giving me a solid understanding of them

Covering every popular camera brand in detail would make this talk overly long and tedious

Fortunately, most modern cameras share similar features, making it easy to apply the information to your own camera brand
