For those situations with little or no light how are u managing the focusing so that it is tack sharp? Some images you could light up with artificial lighting, focus and then turn it off but there are many other situations where you can't do this. I can't seem to quite get that sharpness in on my shots. I am turning the autofocus feature of my Canon lenses off and using manual but there has to be some trick to get those nice images to come out more clear.

Thanks,

@meltdownman1 Stabilize your camera with a tripod for the longer shutter speeds. Also lighting your subject with a flash and letting the ambient light in though a slow shutter speed while your camera is mounted on a tripod may work for you as well. Hope this helps.

Love your videos dude! Do you have any advice for focusing on big group shots for like weddings. Is there a specific f/stop or focal length I should try and stay around. Some of the ones I have done so far aren't coming out so sharp so I need some help bro thanks!

[FontanaKnowledge]

@kojack2469 Use a f/stop such as f/8 or smaller to get a better depth in your focus.

I have been taking picture with my SLR for more than 2 years. This video gave me the proof that i'm very weak in focusing. Today i have learned much more than what i acquired the last 2 years. THANK YOU professor

Autofocus is necessary when chasing toddlers and small children around outdoors. ;)

What is a good starter camera that is not super expensive and easy for beginners? I used to have a Canon A640 and dropped it and it took great pictures but I didn't know how to use all the features. At 10mp, it wasn't ideal for anything more than an 8x10 print. I would like to take more pictures in B&W, Sepia and things in color. My favorites are classic looking photos or one with shadow, capturing a person in deep thought and can never get a good shot with good colors unless I edit it PC.

Seeing continuously someone's face for 10 minutes and hear him talking is didactically probably not the best method...It gets boring after a very short time.

Put some more action into the lessons then you can possibly also sell your CD better.

Awesome tutorials for a beginer like myslef. Thanks a million...especiall since my work requires me to take photos naturally and not using any photo enhancement programs such as Photoshop or Lightroom.
