Read through the whole thread and not thinking of any unique tips that haven't been mentioned.. So something for beginners that I don't think was mentioned yet (the exposure triangle)... Don't be intimidated by manual mode... Embrace it as the fastest way to understanding exposure. Learn the
exposure triangle,and stay in manual until it makes sense and you are comfortable there. When you're shooting in manual mode and have the correct exposure you want based on the exposure triangle, and want to change/tweak one aspect of the shot while keeping the same exposure, then all you need to do is move one of the other two aspects in the opposite direction to the same degree... For example, if you're at 1/100s shutter speed and want to go to a faster shutter because motion isn't frozen, you can quickly bump the shutter dial a couple clicks faster (or however many you want, and I say clicks rather than stops because you may have your camera set to increment in thirds, etc. so it's easier imo to just count dial clicks...) then either turn the Aperture dial the same number of clicks further open, or shift the ISO the same number of clicks higher, or even a combination of the corresponding two elements to equal the same number of clicks you increased shutter speed... It's same plan for whichever of the three elements of the triangle elements you want to adjust in either direction... There are other ways to do the same thing in different modes obviously, but I've always liked manual mode for this method because adjustments can made so easily and precisely without leaving the viewfinder and provides a sense of being in control.
