Took the camera out again, felt more confident with it this time but there were still lots of shots which didn't come out right, especially with moving cars, any tips/tricks?
Some of the photos also came out very underexposed when I flicked to manual, the low aperture & quick shutter speed caused it I think.
Loving the detailed shots though, they're always my favorite to compose & to display
Anyway have a glance please & any feedback is welcome:

The camera metering is quite stupid, it does its best but gets fooled because it doesnt know what you are shooting.
In manual mode its there in the viewfinder just as a guide, but manual mode means you control the exposure, learn how aperture and shutter add up to your exposure, if its too dark you either need a bigger aperture (lower f number) or a longer exposure.
If you dont want to change the aperture ( already at max or for DOF reasons) then change the shutter speed.
But if you are shooting hand held or if the subject moves you might need that shutter speed as it is (or faster).
So this is when you bump ISO up.
In manual mode changing just one of these 3 changes your exposure, you can change 2 of them in opposite directions to keep the same exposure but change the depth of field or motion blur or whatever.
ISO is always the 3rd option, the b
h of exposure, because increasing it has no upsides.
