We normally tend to spend time taking photos, but little do we refelct on the shutter speed or the aperture setting on your camera. We normally place the camera in Auto mode and click our memorable pics.
I would like to know if someone does experiment with theri camera settings and how do you decide on the settings to use ?

Nah, not really technical actually if you can understand the concept. Just learn the basic of aperture and shutter speed and then just go shot!
Experience will improve you overall picture as you will be able to recognize on the settings that you should use and also with experience will you will know when NOT to follow the exposure meter.

Well, i take picture normally with aperture-priority or full manual mode as it give me control over what i wanna take. With auto sometimes the camera is being fools and read the wrong exposure, and sometimes the picture just doesn't turn the way we wanted it to be. So just try full manual mode for once.
Read the exposure meter well, and do know the limit of the exposure meter too, if you use matrix meter do know that the camera will read the whole picture exposure and give an average rating so sometimes when the picture you want to take is more than 60% white, you picture will tend to underexpose if you follow the exposure meter. So just plus 1 exposure stop or so. Just experiment with your camera as every camera will turn out different result
