So lucky to have found your tutorial here Rob, amazing!! I have been doing my basic photos with Canon 350D for many years and now ready to move on to the next level.....and of course your tutorial has given me the extra confident. Thank you for free and very valuable tutorial. Amazing!!!!
If using TV mode the camera is selecting the aperture but it is possible you are trying to use a shutter speed that is too fast for the light available so it is coming out too dark or even looks black so try a slower shutter speed or turn the ISO up to compensate. Let me know if that doesn't help. Cheers, Rob
hi. I have a problem using the "tv" mode. when i set my shutter speed to 1/250 and above when i take a picture of something it just shows nothing on the screen or its pure black,. :/ I need your help. thanks
Thanks so much for your videos. I finally understand different basics of photography.
In this video, the photo of wheel in Christmas Fair, the exposure as you mentioned as 10s, but there are shadows of people in the foreground sharp and clear. How? Unless they all didn't move for that length of time, which is very unlikely.
@levid209 LOL, well spotted but actually yes, they did stand that still for that long. Reason: because they were with me and I told them to! However a couple over on the left were not with me and they did move so they look a lot more blurred. I wanted people in the foreground to add interest but the only way was to have people I could 'control' so that is what I did. Well observed though, I'm impressed :o)
i really like you video Rob, special when new with camera, get confuse with AV and TV, but you explained it well,. what about the IS0 did you used 100 or 800 ?
Rob, in you last photo of the bird, you said that we need to use a panning, the thing is that i don't undertand whitch focus mode i need to use. It's need to be in automatic? or in manual? this last, how i get the distance to the bird to be in focus so quick?
@sebaluzzi The best way is to set your camera to AI Focus mode instead of One Shot mode. This means the camera will continually refocus until you press the shutter. You won't see any visual or auditory confirmation of focusing necessarily so you need to practice keeping the focusing point over your subject but once you get the hang of it you will find it works really well.
a question .. in the panning technique , dont you need a fast shutter speed to capture the movement of the bird ? what i mean is that you pressed the shutter button and kept it moving with the bird !?
Nonetheless I gave it 5 stars because your verbal descriptions of what you are doing exactly are so good that I can visualize the effects in my mind. Thanks for the great tutoring!
I think something that may have helped a newcomer to photography (like me) is to show 2 or maybe 3 pictures at different speeds to show the effects that the different settings can make in a particular situation. For instance, you might show a waterfall picture with the water frozen in motion next to a picture of the same waterfall at the same angle with the water in motion to give us beginners a better idea of what is correct in a particular shooting situation.
you could make a tutorial about megapixels. Many people, including me are confused about that. Many people thinks. many megapixels = better quality, is that always true?
no. more megapixels means the larger (size)of your picture you can take. but better quality is calculate by bit-depth like 12-bit or 32-bit up... the more bit-depth your camera can take the better your camera are.
Brilliant set of videos Rob! Got loads of useful info from all of these - love your enthusiasm, really makes me want to experiment with my camera! :-)
i just want to ask about the last picture about the moving bird,what shutter speed did you use and also what exact time did you click on the shutter?half shutter then when you have focused on the bird then you full click
Yeh same here...Im guessing you used a very fast shutter speed?? to focus the bird but because you panned you were able blur the backround while giving it a moving effect??
believe me when I say that you're one of a kind tutor; clear explanations and considerable amount of friendly and informative walkthroughs. I love your tutorials; and by the way, why no post lately?
Rob...you have become my mentor! Keep up the great work...would love to show you my creativity one day. I have Nikon D40 with 18-200mm VR. Looking for more instructional videos...Thanx again!
