[aslkjfvae]

Awesome tutorial. I have been learning so much lately about this fun hobby we have. Just bought a new Sanyo 21X. For the price it is an very good little camera. Thanks for the tutorial and I look forward to seeing more.

[DAVIS27540]

This is great for the beginners out there like me! Great job!

[mindshutter3mo]

[tontanto1]

Great video. Very simple and clear. Thanks

[pavlovabike]

@dmaben987 it is the iris that contracts or relaxes to control the size of the pupil... anyway great vid!

[pharcydeabc]

Good stuff.  Thanks!

[MrAndie077]

your very helpful :)

[icecreammano]

oh yeah using a canon rebel XS

[icecreammano]

great info! question on using a canon 430ex with a canon 420ex ..I want to set it up for portriat shoots with the 430EX as my MAIN LIGHT cause its adjustable where the 420EX is not..Im have a issue shooting the 430 at half power its want to shoot at full even I adj manually..can I use these two different flashes together?

[jenny13579]

Thank you

[yeszurita]

Good info. I just got my camara you help me a lot....

[FontanaKnowledge]

@BenWalshPhotography I tried to check it out but it just said "Bad Link" email me a link at photomagic001@yahoo.com and I can check it out. Peace

[dmaben987]

Great video. Just one thing. Is it okay to correct you? Perhaps you mean the pupil. It's the one that dilates or constricts when light shines. The iris is the colored part of the eye. But overall, great video tutorial. Thanks for explaining the photgraphy jargon!

[dmaben987]

@dmaben987 I noticed it when you were explaining what aperture is.....

[debbittybears]

thank you!

[ebialo1]

good stuff....explain few "photo slang" that I didn't understand

[free4gsm]

Nice

[MrScotti1975]

[boots2525]

Just to let you know that i find your explenations sooo easy to understand. :-)

I am 65 years old and thanks to you I am learning how to use my Canon S5IS

I hope you keep making them, do you have any winter photo tips? How to shoot and keep the Camera warm?

Thanks again. :-)

[georgeec3]

Ok, I didn't understand the part of the expo and de ISO

[Ackyification]

Thanks for this! You're a great teacher. I think you should keep going with your videos.

[Movingstillness]

Thank you for your generosity! You are a magnificent teacher... and your positivity is captivating!

[JadeMantisStudios]

So if one would want a shallow depth of feild (Open Apeture) one would have to off-set the ammount of light getting in by speeding up the shutter speed/lowering the ISO, correct?

I understand each concept separately, but getting them in tandem is a bit tricky.

[vickoktavian]

Mr V. did you go to a photography school? Or you learned all these goodie knowledge by yourself, (self-taught)?

[MajoG10]

Thank youuuuuuuu :)

[daiken9]

Would everyone please go like my page on facebook? I'm a new photographer trying to gain recognition! Its Aiken Photography

[AntoniaSilva8]

Thanks! Extremely informative!

[myvieosuk]

Bro, I recently bought a NikonD5000 and tried to apply your tutorial 1 . I making an error somewhere, Everytime I am taking a picture its coming blur , i tried closeups, from distance, in the room, outside.....Help me out. I am just loosing my enthusiasm to learn photography.

[purvertedmunk]

LOL great tutorial man... i'm a noob in this and this def helped out

[chixtraveling]

my friend let me watch your video because i'm having a hard time understanding these 3 fundamentals, i'm just not too technical i guess. You explained it very well. Idiot-proof plus it's not boring. You are funny. well then, i guess i will be checking out more of your lessons. Thanks for taking the time to prepare this stuff for us newbies!

[Blumis2000]

Cool video bro - keep it real

[carlusdarienus]

best tutorial I've seen in photography so far very very helpful very cool guys and very clear.

[missterry2009]

when are you going to post new video man!

[SuperMangn]

Its not simple at all. It can be made to sound simple but in the real world even pros have a hard time with settings and will turn up to a location before they start and take a bunch of pics at various setting and download them on a laptop and see whats good in the space they will be working. They dont just turn up and say hey I know exactly the best settings just by looking at a environment. Photographers love studio portrait work since they know all the best setting before hand, easy money.

[FontanaKnowledge]

@SuperMangn The mastering of these concepts takes time and experience. But the concepts themselves are not scary or complex. They are simple mathematics. The best photographers that I know are more concerned with the aesthetics of an image than the technical side of it. It becomes second nature with practice. Studio work is far more technical as you need to set every light, reflection, shadow and detail, but no less simple to the trained brain. This has been my experience. Peace

[vStreetStruckv]

@FontanaKnowledge cut your hair! lol im jking....

i'm glad you explained it the way you did...most people forget that experts/professionals are using the most basic concepts at advanced levels....

the best construction worker still uses a wrench and hammer...just newer more refined versions of them...*clicks the thumbs up and starts applying lessons learned*

[porunavidasindolor]

i like things to be simple ! and you just make it happen > i want you to be my teacher 

[Mrxingyuchen]

dude, you are so cooooooooooool.

[emeraldamy83]

[nolan1432]

Great job, liked how you teach, used you hands and animated the concepts physically for us to get an idea of the concepts!

[KJW160]

and 4. Grow our your hair.



[Yuniick]

THANK YOU SO MUCH :')

[tagokero]

cool nice one!!

[azmiazmi77]

U're my 1st teacher in photography and i really learn a lot from u man. Love ur tutorials. Interesting, funny and very very easy to understand. Props. Thanks lots!! :D

[ashcha12]

Thanks a lot...got to know a lot...have even saved all of your tutorials..being a beginner they are a lot hepl.

[mowpowOo]

THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!! Im in high school an my school doesnt have a photography class! an you helped meeee soooo much!! <3

[nmssis]

The best explanation so far, thanks!

But most DSLR cameras auto select the shutter speed when I manually select the Aperture...right? or is there a function where I by default allow the camera to set the shutter speed?

[surferboy36O]

@nmssis That is in Aperture priority mode (Av), you can tell the camera the shutter speed and it'll auto select the aperture in shutter priority mode (Tv), or you can select both in manual mode (M).

[MrLangstar]

Hey there, Great Tutorial man A+++, but i was just wondering what camera you use?

[mcwby1]

I have learned a lot over the last few years watching your videos but I was wondering if you have ever thought of doing tutorials that utilize other types of cameras. I have been using a Canon PowerShot SX20 IS 12.1 MP Digital Camera for a couple of years and I feel I do very well, but I always wonder if I am using my camera to it's full potential. What, if any, advice can you give using this camera?

[haygirlette]

oh wow! you're so good at explaining those fundamentals! i've watched and listened to a bunch of people about these 3 important fundamentals but i end up more confused than ever until i've watched you. THANK YOU SO MUCH. from now on, i'll only listen to you.

keep up the good work! :)

[MedicShredsWeight]

Thank you! I found this extremely helpful

[DaveElyzium]

Very helpful thanks 

[PhotographyTipsPix]

Very nice! But make it short next time bro.

[ photographypix [at] wordpress [dot] com ]

[PhotographyTipsPix]

Very nice!

[gringoparadox]

long long long long long long long time to learn lmfao never laughed so hard

[Southerner107]

GREAT ! More knowledge in 8min than a of other people give (and confuse you) in a couple of hours.

THANKS

[blueblook]

@Southerner107 that's what i was thinking. i'm still going to need to diagram out how each of these play on each other so i can just commit it to memory. but this explanation cut the fat out and just gave me the concepts to think of it in small easy to remember chunks.

[artworldadvertizers]

awesome...satisfied my hunger

[TheBlackheartkids]

Do u teach anywhere? Or classes? I'm from san bernardino... Ur bad ass...

[AF0093]

Awesome tutorial! Just need to watch it a hundred times to memorize and process everything in my mind. New subscriber.

Zoe

[kittenpriya]

an excellent and unique way of explaination

[kjbelcheruk1]

You rock......Great tutorials

[bakarangerpinku]

you're a much better teacher than my foundations of photography teacher. have you ever thought about teaching???

you're so good at it naturally!

i am using a Canon 7D

i have midterms tomorrow, but she taught it in a long drawn out confusing way. thank you so much! i know i'll pass tomorrow's test LOL.

[InvincibleJ]

Great, simple explanation. Thank you! :D

[five20s]

This video is to the point and easily understood. Thank you for making this. It really helped.

[tomprice05]

Hi, first of all....GREAT VID!!!! :D

I have a question. What are the best settings so that you get good candid shots of groups of people (e.g. just chatting to each other). Possibly a fast shutter speed so that the images are sharp, but slightly lower aperture for a nicely blurred background? Give me your thoughts please!! :)

[Toca91]

If I set my shutter speed to the fastest shutter speed possible on my camera, how do I brighten up the image? It's too dark! :(

[FontanaKnowledge]

@Toca91 Either add light, open the aperture or increase your ISO value. Or a combination of all of the above =o) Give it a try and see what happens.

[Toca91]

@FontanaKnowledge Thank you! It worked! :D

[CooperSnow]

:S I think you messed up. Doesn't the pupil enlarge in the night to allow more life in, and go small in lots of light to let less in?

[wildstar82]

THANKX!!! in just a few mins of your video i have learned a lot and also fixed the ISO so my pics look so much better! Thankx again and keep these videos coming!

[aadzy8]

I really want to be your friend in real life. Can we make this happen?

[007ravip]

informative.....thanks...

[AustinTheCreator]

Great job man :)

[timski72]

Informative AND entertaining! Nicely done. Thanks!

[Noidentityism]

Fantastic! This is all I needed. Thank you

[yichkox]

thanks dude!!!!



[EhtszDjMemphie]

He's like a wizard (8

[bboyjearvroxzki0104]

your video tutorial is so helpful. n_n thank you for this. I'm new in photography and I want to learn more n_n I got a Canon 600D. I want to ask a question, how can I balance aperture, shutter speed and ISO to achieve a great photo?n_n does it depend on the environment where I am going to shoot a photo?

[gccseagle]

@loltaygirl218 Depending on your budget there is the Canon T3 which is only 540 bucks, or the t2i or t2i which are closer to 750 and 850 with the kit lens. I dont know a lot about Nikons but I guess thats just preference. Go to Best buy and bring an sd card and take some pics and take them home and look at them and feel and evaluate all of them. I would go with any of the Rebel series as a good start.

[4al]

Very helpful bruh!

[ImNotPretending]

I'm interested in doing candid photography, which obviously I will need a very high shutter speed for. I also prefer using film to digital, what camera would you recommend? I have heard that a vintage Olympus trip 35 is good for this sort of style as unlike the more recent models you have a manual aperture, which would definitely aid in the composition. Please tell me what you think of this.

[stanprec]

i like the way you explain things! Great job and thanks for the lesson! Keep it up!:)

[kleanchap]

Nice intro for a newbie like me. Very good enthusiastic energy of the presenter. Thank you for this nice video!

[LipschitzPhotography]

@loltaygirl218 I'd recommend a camera thats a few years old. A Canon xti is a great DSLR. You could buy an advanced point and shoot but being that it doesnt zoom through glass and really just into the actual picture you would have very pixely pictures.any camera body with a 1.8 lens is great to start with since I would not really recommend the lens kit of most cameras. but keep watching videos like this. It can actually help you bring out your creative eye, especially since you ara a painter

[v8turkish]

Easy to follow top notch advice cheers.

[wizardjks]

kewl vid

one of the best things was you didn't formalize it with all the mambo jambo

i'm hitting the subscribe button

[sapundjieva]

you tube is a gret place for music for me, that is my hobby, but from year and a half i start feeling the same exating emotions that vibes brings me while i am taking pictures, so your lessons will be very, very helpful to me as well, subb and thanks :)

[superchic2020]

this was so helpful u dont even know, thank you!!!

[shaniloveJerrod]

This is a good video gonna continue with your tutorials i just got a new camera

[music4all12]

so

wider aperture=brighter picture/shorter depth of focus

faster shutter speed= sharper image/ brighter picture

higher ISO= better quality/ more pixelated

is this correct?

[kamjharmon]

its a pupil not your iris.....but your videos are cool

[ericbombardier]

Yeah thanks a lot, very simple explanation. Now I'm off to try to adjust all of those together.

[Pathrissia]

You are great. Ive been feeling stupid for not understanding these, but aaarrggh, thank u, now I know what they are for :))

[ratb10]

lovely,thanks. learnt something in 5 minutes that I have not been able to do for days watching other videos.

[trevorms]

That was a great summary which put the absolute basics in perspective for a complete newby like me.  Good work...I'm looking forward to viewing your other videos.

Funny guy ;) Your information is really helping me with my photography as well as my photography website. I would love to have your videos featured!

[santacluas666]

How do I know where to put my f-stop? and how much shutter speed should I put? Does it show in the camera?

[chinoclone]

Thanks, dude! The advice here is invaluable.

I recently bought my first DSLR and have had no previous experiencing of shooting with one. However, after watching this video I'm getting great results shooting in manual mode after less than an hour of playing around with the camera settings.

[MerchantMalik]

Great suggestion and info...thanks BuD..Malik

[b3wheele]

yay! yay! Yay! thank you!! looking forward to some more tips!!

[lathesius]

on average I tend to stick to an ISO of 400 for outdoor shoots just to be on the safe side. i know professionals will kill me for that but, hey, i'm an ameture :)

[showguns]

Dude your the shit ! Haha don't let anyone tell you otherwise :D I love your attitude man, it makes it fun to watch your stuff. Keep it up hommie!

I absolutely love photography! I like to take pictures of just about anything that will hold still long enough that's why I'm a photography major in freshman year of college.. I have a Sony x390 camera, and I'm just now getting ready to take my photography classes and I'm sure this will help me and millions others too so thanks for taking the time out for this video.

Hi Robert,

This Sridhar here, i am very new to photography and want to learn more about it which camera would be suitable for begginers... as i am very fond of taking wild animal pictures... being one of my hobbies ... Please do let me know ......

as i really like your videos !!

[fernyology]

Good stuff

[KyleHarrelson]

Hello, I really admire you. It sound like you have the life that I am striving for! I'm very new in to photography. ( I'm 13 years old.) I am thinking about getting a Nikon D3000. Is that a good camera? I wan't to get into macro photography, landscape photography, and action photography. For action photography would it be good to have a fast shutter speed?? If so what is a good camera for that??? Do you know the shutter speed for a Nikon D3000?

[jogsan]

MIKE PORTNOY!!

[nicolaas737]

Thank you so much

[venessa9able]

I have a Canon PowerShot S5is...

and i want to buy a nikon d3100...

Do you think its a good choice ?

[TaraRang]

I'm totally new to photography but I've always wanted to learn. :) I'm gonna start saving up for a camera. I want to take pictures of nature, people, buildings, etc. Do you have any tips on what kind of camera I should get? Thank you very much :)

[FontanaKnowledge]

@TaraRang Make sure you get an SLR. It can be digital for sure "DSLR." But even a film camera will do. I would suggest a Canon because that is what I use and know, but I have heard Nikons are nice as well and I think their colors are fantastic. Hope this helps =o) Peace

[BestUsernameIGot]

@TaraRang I have a Canon 600d, it's great!

[ivydog111]

Very informative. I like your sense of humor too entertaining.

[jiji4220]

Wowoo ,, thank's..

[rockergirl42696]

i don't know which camera i should buy.. i've been looking to several nikon cammeras and some sony but i'm stuck..i'm a beginner and i want one that can take fast motion pictures and has autofocus... any recommendations?

[QueenOfTriad]

i hope my lecturers at my univ were like you. i was learning photography at my univ too but i never understand what they say, but i can understand yours. its kinda weird too coz english isnt the language we speak evryday :)

[Zacens]

Why do cameras (professional) cost over a thousand dollars at best buy and such fourth?
