I really appreciate the photo examples you give at the end of your tuts. I swear, no one else on youtube does that. They just talk about it. This is why your my favorite. I can actually SEE what you are talking about.

@SpyralTwilight Thanks man! I don't know how people can BS in every video and the viewers sit through and accept it. One guy has 700 videos and I yet have to see a video from him that's worth watching. Product pushing, trying to get as many hits to make a few bucks and in the end... the beginners learn 1/10 of what they should. I'm trying to concentrate on the quality than quantity. I'm glad you see that.

Hi,u mentioned ur unsure if the pic is properly exposed, how will u ever tell, does the camera have a way to tell you? also im just getting in2 dslrs & im wondering why there r aperture & shutter priority modes at all as in manual u can adjust the aperture2give u a nice blur&then shutter speed 2 allow light in, the same the other way adjust the shutter speed to capture movement how u like&adjust the aperture to allow more light in 2get the right exposure, is this right,&is it the way you work?

@jc545staffy You can actually check it in lightroom3 if it's under/over exposed. Sometimes certain parts are overexposed but if they're not the main subject, you let it go. The reason why you have aperture/shutter mode because over 90% of the photographer using non-auto mode, use aperture priority mode. It's quicker and faster. When the light meter gets fooled, you switch to manual to make those minor adjustments. Any camera with manual setting will have individual controls for aperture/shutter.

i have to agree that your videos are great in that you show examples...i like how you show what to look for in the viewfinders and stuff and in some where you actually take the photo and show us the settings and the difference between one setting vs. another.

@PhotographersOnUTube great vids man. on the first photo did u ever think of exposing for the background and using fill flash for the boots?

[ChefWannabeToo]

@jc545staffy for me if i like the way the photo looks then its properly exopsed, most cameras have a histogram. i dont know if he has done a vid on histogram, i just found his channel and im trying to catch up. haha

Hi Jib,

really like your videos and try to follow them all.

I am new to DSLR Photography and trying to learn fundamentals. I recently bought a Nikon D5100. And have a few questions on this topic:

- Why can't we use or why doesn't exposure compensation mean anything in Manual mode?

- In Aperture Priority mode, F3.5, 1/60S, flash on, my camera was showing all the way -ve on the scale. To get the pointer back to 0, had to bring the exposure down to (-2.0) instead of increasing it.. Why is it so?
