Count the clicks

“It’s easy to get bogged down in numbers when you’re adjusting exposure,” says Kate, “but at weddings you usually don’t have time to stand gazing at your rear LCD! Instead, I just count clicks: if I’m happy with my exposure but decide that I want a slightly greater depth of field, I’ll click the aperture closed, say, two clicks, and then decrease the shutter speed by the same number of clicks. That way the exposure stays exactly the same, and I don’t even have to look at the settings – I can just do it all while still looking through the viewfinder.”
