why do you guys say speak faster if he did people still wouldnt understand if he spoke fast and people would still complain and this is just his own personal experience doing photography, also its obviously not going to be an amazing video because he is only semi professional so at least give him credit because he has taken his time to help people out and in this case he has helped me alot because im just beginning photography with a 35mm camera

[Futuristech]

Hey man, you need more energy to deliver impressive speech!

[kurtismg]

i dont agree with the sun thing....i like having the sun behind the photographer (the sun in front of the subject) because the light is the light isnt going directly into the camera, changing the auto exposure, i know you can change it but you dont have to if you position the subject correctly

[karedward]

@kurtismg its the rules.

[debodeebs]

he's teaching people ffs. there's always gotta be muppets on here

[oceandrew]

The comments from the diapered whiners are hilarious. You guys sound like a bunch of kids with ADHD..... LOL. You just got a 50 minute lecture in 5 minutes. So get off your butts and go practise the techniques mentioned and stop being tutorial junkies.

FWIW.... if you want advanced techniques don't count on them being FREE.

[gregmorrow]

At 1:16 The sun should be behind you.... If it's behind me - it's directly into the eyes of the subject!!!

[criticaltinker]

All expert village tutorials are crap...

[gregmorrow]

The video is very good for the beginners. Those who think it is slow- go and watch Charlie Chaplin movies.

[robtmiler]

the human mind works much much faster than we can speek if you talk as slow as this guy you get so distracted that you read all of the comments instead of listen to his textbook inside the box explinatoin about how to take class photos.

[dillXcore]

@robtmiler you...are genius haha

thats exactly what happened to me!

[sebbis]

@dillXcore Me too haha. The clip is actually running as im typing this.

[oconnorthelegend]

amateur photographer = trainee paedophile

[joshberke]

i like how hes going so slow that the subtitles are like two slides ahead of him

[straightprodigy]

lol

[AmateurPhotography]

Very interesting!

[denbocasan]

Expert village of idiots!

[joshthegreat666]

It made me laugh, as every photo of me as a child I have always got my eyes either closed, very squinted, or red. Due to my mum insisting on having me face directly towards the sun, look up at her "and thus the sun" for about thirty seconds while she looked through the viewfinder. Often I would swear after a minute as she waited for me "and told me to" stop squinting and storm off with a white dot burned into my retina for hours. She insists this is necessary to avoid "dark photos"

[rambomator]

When I was a little kid my mother told me not to stare into the sun. So once when I was six, I did. The doctors didn't know if my eyes would ever heal. I was terrified. Alone in that darkness. Slowly daylight crept in through the bandages and I could see. Something else had changed in me.

[goodkim]

@rambomator OMG Pi Quote. I love you.

[rambomator]

@goodkim I love you too now lol

[rangewarwick]

Nice video and some very useful advice. More of the same please.

[grungepig9]

this is making me sleepy :/

[espencor]

PleEEEAAAAAASE talk faster!!!!

[Chalenica]

I have not been able to get pass 14 secs. even though he might have very good information to share with his audience. Having said that, I used the audio of this video to go to sleep one of those difficult nights and it worked. So, THANK YOU! Who knew that his tips might be helpful in other areas other than photography.

[magmatic123]

[MrRobgardner]

i am falling to sleep

[foulksey]

Akward!

[aadoga7]

This is complete and utter square bull

[DinaxD]

You can use a regular umbrella and buy a halogen light. It is very very cheap.. You can put them as side lights (both sides) then it will make yuour photos very soft. Trust me.. you can do it on a VERY low budget and get amazingly sexy photos. :)

[KEBokeh]

Boring! Talk, talk, talking....he should have shown some sample of what he's talking about. So lame. I just wasted my time watching this boring crap.

[Davewakeham]

Boring Crap ? The guy contributes his experience FOR FREE , what do you expect ? 30,000 Dollar photo shoots on carribean beaches ? high end graphics ? why dont you go BUY some professional DVDs

[KEBokeh]

Hey I'm entitled to my opinions and jsut because you don't like it don't cry like a bitch. Just move on....jesus!

[Davewakeham]

I think your the one thats crying, of course your I would like to express a firm No comment on your last somewhat derogatory level of communicating.
