As a photographer, your task is to control light. You are a master of light.
When you turn that dial from "auto" to "manual", you are taking control of the light coming into your camera. Two key ways of controlling the amount of light coming into your camera are by setting the f-stop and the shutter speed.
For a partial introduction to f-stops and shutter speed, check out the following video excerpt from Brian Ratty's video series (Digital Photography - The Camera (Tutorial DVD)
). The videos are now a little dated, but still cover the basics well.F-stops and shutter speeds are not the only ways you can control light. You can adjust the ISO settings or use flash, for example. You can adjust f-stops, shutter speeds, ISO, flash, etc. to get just the right amount of light into your camera -- that perfect exposure.
