If you’re a photographer anything like me (and seriously, I mean this: let’s hope you’re better), you occasionally wade into camera modes like aperture-priority or shutter-priority or even, when you’ve totally lost control because you saw an Ansel Adams documentary the other night, full manual. When this happens, I invariably wind up taking pictures that are nothing more than a series of failed experiments. I overexpose, blur anything even slightly moving, underexpose, and basically embarrass my camera for not having a more skilled owner. Do you have any idea how many times I wished there were a tool where I could mess with settings — and maybe even learn something — before wasting a chance to capture my son’s incredible sliding soccer goal?
Oh, hey, what do we have here?
It’s an SLR Camera Simulator.
Here is the perfect tool to let you play around with SLR settings to see how they affect your photo, but in a sandbox: you won’t actually be botching dozens of pictures at the family’s Memorial Day BBQ.
A great way to help illustrate SLR basics and how the settings interplay with one another. Give it a shot.
