Photography Tutorial ( Aperture) Beyond the Basics

[nessa6565]

too bad there arent more ppl and video like this on youtube. 90% of the stuff on here is hateful bullshit.

"if your perfect exposure is f/8, when you move to f/11, you'll gonna be getting half the light you get in f/8"

how did you know if it's half and not quarter ?! how many stops are in there ?! thanks .. 

[FontanaKnowledge]

@tamim4ever You just have to trust me I guess. It is half the light. Your camera does things in thirds of stops, but I am teaching in full stops. I have listed all the stops in this video for you to see the way full stops work. I do not know "how" I know. Maybe from years of experience or reading or both. But the "how?" is not important =o) Please rewatch the video to see if it clicks the second time. Peace

[tamim4ever]

@FontanaKnowledge I watched the video it was really helpful, I learned a lot .. thanks. it's just, you know, sometimes we dig deeper to get more .. :)

thank you so much for you time .. :)

[1DJXeon]

muy bueno!!!! Gracias por tus clases ;) is a boom baby!!!!

[djmaxnz]

best video on youtube A+++ explained me what i didnt know

[flaken369]

Hey, very nice tutorial! Thanks a lot, this will make my pictures better!

[vinnyvette]

I Can't tell you how much I'm learning!

[kamamarie]

I LOVE all of your videos! You are always so fun to watch, inspiring and down to earth. Keep them coming:)

[Buhzie15]

i love your enthusiasm! haha!! fun to watch, easy to understand, and it makes a difference when the person teaching you is truly passionate about what they do!

[evanwharton]

Blowing my mind. Thanks so much! Had no idea this worked in such a mathematical way. Like you said, I've been doing a lot of arbitrary guesswork when I shoot on manual. Now can hopefully be more precise.

[h0ns0y]

hehehe..i love you too man...i have learned a lot from you dawg.Thanks a lot.Godbless.

[illustriousimagery]

Another informative video here Robert, i have learned this but it isn't easy to take in if you're new to photography. Keep them coming.

[OChristFollower]

Man ur advice has been the most helpful in my beginning of this photography thing. If it wasnt this would totally not be for me with the occasional cursing lol but thanks for doing this man. Very cool.

[OChristFollower]

Welcome back bro. Hows your son?

[FontanaKnowledge]

@OChristFollower Big. He is a year and a half now =o)

[OChristFollower]

@FontanaKnowledge thats awesome man... I bet he says bomb diggidy baby too lol

[bu7esan]

1 question .. what about the f/1.4 and f/1.8 and the relationship between them

[FontanaKnowledge]

@bu7esan It is 2/3 of a stop.... so its not quite double

[bu7esan]

@FontanaKnowledge no i mean whats their relationship between them and the f/2

[bu7esan]

@FontanaKnowledge no i meant comparing the 1.4 to 2 and 1.8 to 2

[tamim4ever]

@FontanaKnowledge how did u calculate that ?!

[110B557]

I enjoy your presentation, fun and enthusiastic, as much as your info. Thanks for your posts.

[CollectiveFellow]

your hair is looking better. great tips.

[TheJuanmarcus88]

very absorbing!!! ill keep your advices

[ManuelDr]

You're the man!

[skelter101]

Thank you, Robert!

[biclar]

Thanks for doing these videos! Can't wait for the advanced stuff!!!

[dantheman1507]

how do I get a good photo that captures both sky and ground?

Because if the sky on optimum light, the ground is dark and if I get the ground ok, the sky is white from the excess light.

Can you help me please?

[juandagitab]

@dantheman1507 well the best way is to use a GND (graduated neutral density).. :D

google it so you'll know how to use one.. :)

[savycrat]

Luv ur lessons and the way u explain. Very helpful for begineers like me. Thanks. Waiting for ur upcoming vids.

[toyoumy88]

Keep doing your thing bro, 'im learning a lot from your tut!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

[Pirikettu]

sorry but how is this beyond the basics? imo this is the most basic thing to learn about aperture. imo beyond the basics would be things like how shutter leafs effect bokeh shape, how aperture effects dof when you focus close(and really close to like 1:1) or further away, why same aperture gives same dof with same focal lenght but different sensor size or same sensor but different focal length etc etc

[FontanaKnowledge]

@Pirikettu Maybe you sir are beyond even the beyond the basics. To the rest of us this is pretty cool. Peace

[bu7esan]

@FontanaKnowledge actually this was really helpful .. i always thought f/4 is double f/8 !! AMAZING Tutorial

[Pur3Kiwi]

@Pirikettu if your just getting out of Auto mode it is basic And that is what he is encouraging getting out of auto and taking control of your creativity in manual mode

[biclar]

@Pirikettu imo basics and beyond basics depends on the individual. i'm just happy that FontanaKnowledge is teaching us this stuff for free. Peace!

[Pirikettu]

@biclar i dont think it depends on the individual, since its still the same basic info about what aperture does no matter if its told to someone who has never even seen a camera or to someone who has been pro for 50 years. i mean if you type aperture basics to google it gives links to this same stuff and most sites even tell more in the "basics". if that stuff is beyond basics, then what are the basics?

im happy fontana teaches this stuff too and he seems like a really nice guy

[biclar]

@Pirikettu You misread my response mate, of course the concept of aperture doesn't change when you speak to different people. It's different people who have a different concepts of "basic" and "beyond basic".

Do you always think AFTER you speak?

[Pirikettu]

@biclar its still basic info about aperture no matter if the person who is listening is a pro or beginner. ill ask again. if this is beyond basics, then what are the basics?

i dont think i misread anything, its just that you base the concept of basics on your knowledge and i base the concept of basics in objective grounds. if we are speaking about basics in general, then the basics arent about your knowledge, but are about the objective basics and you seem to confuse these two things..

[biclar]

@Pirikettu perhaps you'd like to put together a chart for us to clarify objectively the difference between basics and beyond basics since you're so smart?

[juandagitab]

@Pirikettu not all of us is as good as you GOOD sir.. if you think that this aint beyond your basic, then congratulations! you are truly beyond the beyond the basics.. :D

to some, if not all of us, this is a vital piece of information towards better photography.. :D

[V2SkiLLz0R]

Fontana, you are kinda awesome, keep it up!

[Mrsvaughan61]

Awesome lesson.... I learned quite a bite on aperture today.. and now I'm going to us this knowledge in my photography

[QuarterCrawl]

Right on ! bra

[yamitanomura]

Great lesson ... Thanks for sharing with us !

[valdezapg]

we really appreciate your videos! thank you!

[MastKalundar]

brilliant lessons i cant stop waiting your videos.

[Yousurf123]

Man.....speechless....'you know'! AWESOME vid man!!! \m/

[eradeli]

I love your videos man! I learn so much from you!

[EnjoicoolPanda]

It seems less complicated from my small experience with DSLRs. What habit I've developed is simply to leave the Aperture at it's highest number and adjust the shutter, therefore, if I need even more light (without flash) I leave the shutter open longer. Visversa, I use higher shutter speeds in day light. I don't see the point of making the Aperture smaller (f32). Thus far I've yet to use that. Although, I know I'm missing something, what is it? I've got this photogarphy in a neat little package

[EnjoicoolPanda]

@EnjoicoolPanda damn, won't help a brother out? I see how it is

[juandagitab]

@EnjoicoolPanda what is your concern brotha?.. :D

[oobxlr8r]

@EnjoicoolPanda With varying aperatures, you not only have the creative control of the exposure level of the image, you also control depth of field.The more "wide open" your lens is the more light you allow, but you also reduce the "plane of focus" or depth of field.This can be great for isolating a subject against a somewhat busy background. This also works the other way, if you have a scene where you want a lot in focus you will want to "close" the lens down to maximize the "plane of focus"

[EnjoicoolPanda]

@oobxlr8r i was onto something like that. I sort of noticed messing with the camera. But did not quiet catch that looking at the pictures. Thanks

[wasdanda]

wow a new vid..thanks mate! like your presentation style.

[ar4216]

this dude is the shiznit

[vicvic1432]

[JoTerified]

Thanks Robert

[Vozzost]

Lmao! SHEEEIT! You are SO much fun to watch. And your videos are very educational. I bought my first DSLR about a month ago. Needless to say that your videos have definitely helped me grow. Thank you!!!

[qasimmansoor]

[mikemarin106]

Dude..You are the SHEEEIT!!!! Thanks!

[ParvusNegrus]

i had no idea about that, ty!!!

[TheBbp001]

dude the penny just dropped, I finally get it Cheers

[enburst]

wow. thats surprising that they never taught us about the doubling light for f-stops in my photo class. This is exactly what i am subscribed for

[antropoloscar]

great video of a passionate guy who knows what hes talking about

[itscaseplace]

y do u shoot in 4:3 and not 16:9??

[ivonne20012]

thnks

[vjstjs]

wow!
