Anonymous asked: i'm such a fan of your beautiful beautiful work!! and after shooting w/a point n'shoot for years i just ordered my first 5D! i've been looking through the manual and i'm so overwhelmed... are there any specific settings you recommend (color, white balance, etc) b/c it looks like you could spend a year just changing camera settings!

Thanks!

Its best to learn what each setting do and know how to apply them when you take a shot.  I use M 100% of the time.  Just practice a lot, should pick it up in no time.
