Coming to you from Pay Kay, this great video tutorial will show you 80% of the basics of photography in just 10 minutes. If I could give one piece of advice to anyone just starting out and working on gaining comfort with concepts like the exposure triangle, it would be to put it into practice one piece at a time. A lot of people hear that manual mode is the best way to learn and the only mode that professionals use. Not only is it untrue that professionals do not use other camera modes, it can be overwhelming to try to manage all your settings simultaneously when you are just starting out. Pick a semiautomatic mode such as aperture mode and experiment with how changing that one settings gives you different results and creative control. When you are comfortable with all the parameters individually, then you can move on to manual mode as appropriate. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Kay.
