Learning your equipment

One of important things for comfortable photoshoots is to know your equipment. How it works, where the buttons are and what are capabilities of it.

Underestimating it is probably better the overestimating. But it will probably stop you from taking some photos that you probably could get.

In this photo i was aiming for a silhouette.

Then when i started editing it i realized how much i can get from shadow areas. For this photo i am probably fine with not knowing, but i did not take some photos because they looked to dark for me and i had no additional light source or something to bounce the light. Looking at this, there is a big chance that i could have.

I am still in the mindset of 80D capabilities and dynamic range. Need to shoot more.

This is how the RAW photo strait from the camera looks like.
