Why most people don't make progress in photography.
Most courses start with the buttons. ISO, aperture, shutter speed. Tables. Rules. Tricks.
A photograph is not created in a camera menu. It is created in the thinking that a professional photographer already has automated.
When you don't understand: – light – space – the relationship between subject and background then every setting becomes a guess. And that's why many people: – stick to "auto" or copy settings from YouTube – can explain the theory but can't apply it – give up because they don't see any progress
