    i'm a beginner not surprise that i'm watching this but some photos get me really confuse. i see that u shoot bridesmaids details like flowers with : 1/2000 , 1.8 , ISO 320? WHY? what i learn is that non moving object don't need to be shoot at fast SS, also is best to keep ISO low as possible in that case easy ISO 100? AM I RIGHT OR WRONG?

    Joy, thank you for this video. It was a pleasure to watch (and YES! it was helpful and inspiring). I am just curiousthough. What was it that was driving your decisions on your settings? Because I noticed you were using different ISOs and f-Stops and apertures.
