On your Bridge shots, where was your focal point and was it single or matrix ???

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@rodbo Focal point is always on the closest subject to the camera. I think Andy, Carine's son was the closest in one shot so it was on him. Not sure what you meant by single or matrix? One is metering and the other is focus mode. It's always AFS for single and metering doesn't matter much because you control that through your shutter speed. It was probably spot. If the picture is off, you simply adjust to get the right exposure.

can i like this 100X100 times one time????..

i really like your videos and it helps me a lot as a beginner in photography!

more power and more blessings to you! :)

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@jepoy2472 Thanks for a great compliment. It means a lot. Since you can't like this 10000 times, how about if you like all the future videos? :P Believe me, liking videos help a lot as youtube features them. I teach for free but you guys can make a difference by doing that. Again, thank you! :)

you really inspire me, i hope i can get these results soon

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@flickincool You def will. Get yourself a 50mm prime lens if you're on a tight budget. A bulk of the quality of your picture comes through a good lens. For extra help, I'm on facebook. P.S. Avoid snapchick. Subscribe to Gavin Hoey instead.

[abhisam1234]

Hi Jibran.if we are having all the people on same plane or let say 3 people on front row & 5 people on back row...what should be my focus point. I always get confused to whom shall i focus on in order to have everybody faces looks sharp...can you please advice on this.

many thanks for you great tutorials. What the perfect sitting indoor for SONY alpha 230, because when I take pictures in "A" mode I have Interference in the result,

[PhotographersOnUTube]

@ImSuchASpecialGirl I would personally avoid it because if you're looking for third party stuff then you'll have almost no choice available. You can save the money in the beginning but you will compromise on quality and later you'll have hard time finding third party equipment for your Pentax if you're looking to save some more.

@valajibhavesh Check out my facebook page. Look for my most recent status (Dec 14th) which will direct you to manual flash video. A more formal video will be published in a couple of weeks.
