I recommend using Aperture value for a while until you learn that, then move to shutter priority, etc. Going full manual all of the time makes for a long process to get the photo right — even “chimping it in” (taking a shot, looking, adjusting, taking a shot, looking, adjusting…) takes time and that takes away from the time you can use to really study your shot and attend to light angles, framing, etc. which is what usually makes the most artful photographs.
