In church yesterday with just my camera, only natural light used.

I was in church yesterday with just my camera, only natural light used.

You can see the settings on the camera.

5D mark III, 85mm 1.8 

I have had to answer the question of what settings should I use while shooting indoors and outdoor severally.

I will say it again, there is no fixed settings for outdoor or indoors photography.

The kind of lens you use, the amount of light available, the power of your light, the direction of light etc all have different ways it affects which settings you should use at a particular time and I place.

Exposure changes with time and place, so telling you which settings to use at a particular shooting time will be limiting you. Study your environment, the amount of light available, what you intend to achieve etc and then set your camera and light to get that .

I shoot on auto white balance because I will always color grade to my choice, so I don't have to be changing white balance Everytime...

I love bokeh always, I love the milky dreamy background blur, that's why I bought 85mm 1.8 even though I have a 50mm 1.8.

I'm aiming at getting a 70-200 2.8 or 135mm 1.8 because I want more blurry background.

If you love bokeh, then you shouldn't be afraid of using a wider aperture. Bring down your aperture to the lowest possible, this will help blur your background if you are like myself who doesn't know how to change background perfectly.

Using a wider aperture will require  that you learn how to focus with your camera. Focus point differ in different cameras and brands. Search on Google on how to set focus point on the camera you use....

I hope this helps someone....
