[TianPingXiaoJun]

Useful tips.

[skullmetalz]

may I know what is the most suitable iso settings for this photoshoot?

thanks

[mattman9656]

what tripod is that?

[tomduff89]

good tips....but why are you shouting on the beach when you have a lapel mic on!? lol

[aminevich]

@tomduff89 maybe it's just my laptop, but mine has a volume up and down feature...just saying

[mozmal]

Nice video.



[Donatillo1961]

I just love your Tripod ! what type is that and where can I get one ?

[cachurchill76]

The time and effort put in to explaining this to viewers is impressive and deserves a mention.

[forPhotographers]

Great video!

[izzandmi]

this pic must use filter right ?

[Krxspy]

photo turned out really good :D

[MrTuananh2809]

i still love the one that does not involve the reflector.

By the way what kind of ND filter u used?

[Romikafire65]

Karl, What camera do you recommend for beginners. I have decided to buy a Professional Camera though i really don't know which camera is the best? I am more into Landscape Photography, and portrait Photography. HELP!

[drew2pac]

@Romikafire65 depends on your budget. i have just purchased a nikon d7000 - and it is bloody good! but if you can't stretch to that, go for a more base model - but invest in a good lens!!! also, photoshop is defo worth it too. can really fine tune pics - even turn bad ones into good ones!

[slyzxx1]

well it would be cool to know what filters you used?

[KungFUcat10]

@ 2.53 was you expecting the wet feet !! @5.35 wet socks and that climb ...rather you than me, ....Excellent shots and I would be with you at your side with my trusty 60d

[006warlord]

you is great love your work..

[PHOTOSTIX]

Thanks, very informative!

[woody1380]

Get some wellies mate :) Nice video though.

[EddySommer2007]

by the way this is an irish accent....

[rainerbrunotte]

great video ! thanks a lot !

[omegadeep1]

@xkellogs - I'm English and that is a pretty run of the mill English accent . How on earth do you think English talk???

[andpolitis]

Nice Video!



[FroeFilms]

You sound like harry potter! Lol

I'm not being stereotypical, the tone of your voice literally sounds like Daniel Radcliff!

[ParkourSchweiz]

just love it when you can feel the energy and passion of a man who loves what he is doing :)

[QuiteTheBadWulf]

this is great, thanks so much



[007leojohnthomas]

Nice demonstration! :)

[bklynny551]

Great Info! Small details make huge differences!

[tejas873]

Hey mate, really nice video. Thanks.

[l35505]

well done!!!

[AurielleL21]

very informational plus love the accent "loight"

[omaraty008]

Excellent show!

[frostbolt2]

Great video,thanks for the tips! I'd really love to know what kind of lenses you used for both photoshoots

[MrAlphaSeven]

i really love when you said " a magic hour ". good photographer, good teacher, good motivator..

[WhiteBeltAcademy]

@MrAlphaSeven That's what the hour of a sunset/sunrise is called, magic or golden hour.

[tambourini]

Thank you!

[2605Knight]

great video!

[sinister4lyf]

You rock!

[vlagamemedia1]

thanx for the tips. good job.

[Tallykoren]

Great video, thanks for the upload.

[xKellogsx]

i love how americans cant tell the difference between english and australian. English people don't say loight.

[sixstringer82]

@xKellogsx he's not Aussie



[WhiteBeltAcademy]

@xKellogsx I'm American and I knew that wasn't an english accent. But who cares either way?

[mdma111]

@WhiteBeltAcademy

Actually that is an English accent. Not everyone in England sounds like a cockney or the queen as you yanks seem to think.

[rne1971]

@xKellogsx

There are regional accents in England, just as there are in the US. Someone from Boston doesn't sound like someone from Texas, which is different again from California, and so on.

Karl's accent I would say sounds west country (Cornwall or Devon maybe) or one of the channel islands (Jersey, Guernsey, etc.). Some English people do say 'loight'. Others say 'late' or even 'leet'. Others say 'lite'.

[ImSuperVince]

BJ Penn is a british photographer?

[awiserbud]

Nice Video and great explanation of using reflective light.

[LeeKeybutts]

Very nice shots in the church. What ISO there? 800+ I assume.

[bossisdead]

Look at the looooiiiigghhtt in the skkkkoooooooiiiiiii

[abhi2nite]

super cool click !!!!

[benfuny]

What a brilliant video, really inspiring me to get out there and get some good landscapes :)

[Spudfan89]

Love your videos. Great production and personality!

[mj6693]

love the british akcent,and hate those americans who think theyr'e best on every thing,poor stupid guys!

[Xcelarate]

Thanks for the tips

[rvenes]

How do you switch on/off the sun? or move the clouds?

Give me your remote! I want the sun!

[BIGREDPUMPKIN]

BJ PENN does Photography??? lol

[lasttara]

thank you

[101MGO]

Thanks, pretty helpful

[PhiLmachine83]

2:25 is so beautiful. :O

[ramcasty]

Hi there Karl, is it ok to tell us what kind of lens do you use on your picture taking? Im new on photography. thanks and this is a great youtube video.

[Eicee291]

skoi

[mamunbds]

good

[xdreamer999]

I love the tips (but not some people's comments). Thanks Karl, such help you gave to us photography enthusiasts.

[jpschubbs]

How can 10 people not like this video? This is AWESOME!

[dave55853]

where is that beach you was at cos it looks lovely place

[MainVuper]

How could 10 ppl not like this video?! not photographers for shore...these videos are briliant to learn more and more about light, and the best of it: THEY ARE FREE!!!

[smokeyairsoft]

@MainVuper I think those 10 pple can't aim and missed the like button :P XD

[TheZenPerspective]

Although his enthusiasm is hilarious to watch, it is great for something like this. I am an amateur photographer and I started to loose a little interest in the hobby because I kept comparing my work to others, but when you have someone this enthusiastic about it I find that it drives me to want to just get out shooting again. Great advice, I never thought too much into light and how I can use different techniques to my advantage, thanks for this upload.

[dieneddie]

i want to thank you personally for these videos, very informative and simple to understand - im new to digital photography and im going to enjoying viewing all this material ..thanks Karl, it will benefit me

[brunovilleneuve]

A good tip in photography is to always look behind you when you take a shot on the front. In this case, look at the amazing stairs journey!

[roiri100]

suft loight

[karinao95x]

I found this really interesting and will give me a headstart in photography

[timberwolves03]

noicely done

[ashkibala1]

Karl Taylor is the Bear Grylls of photography!

[vi54]

0:40 blur - hard light (park life)

good tutorial though, couldn't resist the fun

[msaha1992]

you could have worn sandals, its better.

great lesson about light thanks alot mate!

[dannysuru]

@msaha1992 doe think sandals would have been the best choice to get up those bizillion stairs

[theeoz69]

Thank you for all the tips. I really enjoy your videos and the way that the lessons are tought.

[DrBryanFleming]

"sometimes ya need ta get ya feet wet ta get the best shot"

[KerenGraphics]

The tips are very useful. Thank you.

[fordf350sweet]

love the tips keep em coming :)

[fabledrishi]

Great Video....Thanks....



[elduque3311]

what type of lens did u use when shot the model?, by the way fantastic video, thanks.

[shbdolor]

@elduque3311 I'm also wondering about the same thing. it's an L glass, if its a canon lens, because of the red ring.

[BTPhotography1]

@elduque3311 50mm f/1.2 probably.

[YSColin]

@BTPhotography1 I would say it's an 85mm F1.2, which is one of the best portrait lenses.

[PhotoLynda]

Excellent. Thank you so much for this quality content! (I could listen to you talk all day.)

[nonsoville]

Very informative.. thank you. Hope to own an L lens one day.. preferably a 50mm f1.2.

[allihjelm]

Can I ask you Karl what neck strap you are using?

[chris071158]

magic 

[DavidHeatonPhoto]

what filter system was that not getting vignetting on the wide angle lens?

[Craig07L]

@DavidHeatonPhoto Are you referring to the Cokin-type filter system? They're made so you can fit all your filters on any lens size.

[jfunique]

why are you using a neutral filter, i am into landscape photography just started.

canon 60 D with 10-22mm super wide angle lens.

should i get some filters ? why and wich one :P thanks man

[eapradius]

Your DVDS are totally excellent!!

[Idahokiteboard]

I love this guy he knows his stuff and more!!!

[jon91xp]

just because a person has a less then 200 dollar camera that does so much instantly..does that make a person any less of a great photographer?

[msswift08]

@jon91xp hell no it doesnt.

[PBandJeIIy]

@jon91xp The camera doesn't determine the photographer, how the person chooses the composition and lighting determines the photographer.

[devidunamis]

nice!!! great!!

[Marshalmapy]

very interesting ...thank you so much for your help.

[wecontinue]

Coming from a film and 3d background I think in terms of stage lighting such as spot, directional, ambient, global, omni and coloured lighting. I love the swinging lightbulb effect in the intro which really crystalizes the idea.

[lizzchoate]

Thank you for making this video, it inspired me!!

[beckgwen]

broight loight

[19t86]

i am the crocodile hunter taking photographs.

[AdorkableGrace]

Loight, Is the Mahgicahl Stuff :D

[a7md50]

thnx,ur ful of energy :)

[waggygee]

its funny how you say "loight" instead of light

[gmankillz]

wow, that driftwood pic was REALLY nice

[YurVanGor]

i think that tripod costs as much as my camera

[NDPPhotography]

I love your photos (: I keep watching and watching your videos. Your such a good photographer :D I'm definately gunna used these light catagories for my photography. I have a crappy compact, but whatever.

[NDPPhotography]

Love your pictures (: This is really gunna help me

[NDPPhotography]

I'm going to use these lights now with my camera! I don't have a DSLR, but I do have a camera. Thatnks for the tips (:

[MusicsAngelica]

What hour is the magic hour?? what hour/s exactly?

[lisawikipedia]

@MusicsAngelica it depends on where you are an if its summer, fall, spring or winter

[TheConnyB]

@MusicsAngelica you don´t think that depends on the time of year/country/continent you are currently in? Here in Sweden the sun will set at 2:45pm in the winter but not until 10:45pm in the summer. In northern Sweden the sun will not set at all in summer. The magic hour is about one hour before the sun is starting to set.

[alicu90]

thank you :D

[toxsickshudder]

Loighting is roilly noice

[iodawn]

[jdcaldwell03]

wow this was the best lighting testimonial ive ever read or heard! You cant believe how much this has helped me!

[SaruSaral28]

nicee

[mizfit32]

Can someone please tell me how to set up my 5d to shoot a Tamron AF 70-200? I cant get Af to work.....

[robifis]

@mizfit32 might be that the lens only fits a smaller sensor so it wont work with your full frame sensor?

[orbdnb]

@mizfit32 if you want I can exchange my 450d with yours 5d. tamron works fine with mine ;)

[lauraj666]

@mizfit32 I also have that problem with my K20D, the Af sometimes wont work

[hugger1ify]

[mutizen99]

[MrMatz45]

@mutizen99 Yes, did you see the video? He even explains wich filter it is and why..

[artifical007]

Really love how a beautiful model is able to laugh at her self. She's not taking anything too seriously. People like that seem more down to earth and I like working with these types of people.
