  • Thanks man!! Ur awesome!!

  • Nice video man!! Great job

  • OMG you are awesome! Thanks so much for these videos. I can't believe I only just found these! I've had a 550d for 6 months or so and only was interested in the video aspect of it until recently. Now I am really interested in photography - hence only just searched to find someone like you.

    Looks like I have some viewing ahead of me! Thanks so much for doing these! I do free tutorials (not on photography) as well and it's a fairly thankless pursuit sometimes!

    LEGEND!!

  • So with the 1.8 lens it increases your depth of field or decreases it when compared to larger numbers (smaller aperture?)

  • dude! the lens u suggested is a great buy i guess. But can you tell me what could u use that for other than portraits and pictures of faces... hoping to hear from ya..

  • be a man!! BE A MAN! lol

    yeeeeep,

    a tree branch taught that delightful lesson

  • Thank you sooooooo much for these tutorials!!!

  • He is high.....but.....He is right!

  • hahaha you made me and my bf laugh out loud when you talked about the Manual Mode. he always tells me to use Auto whenever I am having trouble with the Manual, and I get frustrated, but he sees it as the solution :P

  • ya i sprang my ankle stepping of a curve will shooting it still kind hurts

  • I am going to purchase a Nikon P500 lol reviews are all over the map! Basically you will get amazing pics if know how to use the features!!! So, Im gonna get it.

  • thanks man!

  • I actually started taking pictures yesterday with my sisters new camera and I turned that "manual bullshit off" son! It's kind of cool because prior to this video I figured it was safe to experiment with manual mode and I took about 2 to 3 "test" shots after I messed with my aperture, shutter speed, and not so much ISO. Nice video!

  • i wonder why those 10 people disliked this video . This info is great!! thanks for these videos !

  • You suggested a 50mm lens and I want to know if it's possible that my camera lens already consist of that? I have a Canon PowerShot SX10 IS. Also what is the purpose of the long black curvy attachment that snaps around the lens? Does that keep out the sun?

  • i love your videos i honestly do, i love taking pictures and I am starting my own lil business , any advices of what lense to get with lil budget thanks

  • Dude you're almost like the buddy i don't have in real life to explain me photography perfectly. Be my buddy!! lol Thanks for those instructional videos! Makes me want to grab my camera with me everywhere i go! Wait, as a firefighter, might not be a good idea at all lol.

  • @brunovilleneuve Might be a fine Idea. Leave it in the car until all is clear and you no longer in danger and your men can afford to have you shooting. Then you are sure to get some amazing images. =o)

  • Keeping it real, love it.

  • MANual mode is for real MEN. Thats why it's called MANual xD love that phrase.

  • honestly, that is the best advice for photography EVER!!!

  • Gr8 job dude... me Double like, esp. Tip 9, cause I've seen photographers (Like how you say, the Jack Ass's) fall from into the river, onto ppl, from bikes, and even see their expensive cameras tipping of their car window and coming down to our bike ;)

  • 07:05 :D

  • im new at photography and this helped me SOOOOOOOO much! thank you so so so much!!! :) best help ive recieved yet

  • dude can you teach me how to find subject !!!

  • Very valuable advice. Watch your step, don't be afraid, get the shot and absolutely turn off that darn AUTO MODE and last but absolutely not least. Get a 50mm if you don;t have one already. I like the 1.2s, 1.4s and the 1.8s all great lens. Without a 50mm you just don't have the gear to experience true photography, Just my opinion. And if you must only have one lens ( special ) you can make it an 85mm but either or both will give you the tool (s) to get some great shoots. Thanks man! Nice work!

  • good stuff man, thanks

  • Dude, you rock!!! Thank you so much!

  • I have had my camera for about 3 month now and i think its never been in auto mode. I like the feeling of total control over the picture so full manual all the time. Im even thinking about getting a old school film kinda camera just so i dont have to rely on all the digital settings. And it will really teach me how to take a good shot.

  • I noticed the EOS manual what Canon do you use?

  • hahahaha be a man :P what if i am a women :(

  • @Icans33now Oh yeah, Women can do it too. Turn that frown around =o)
