Right now I have an olympus T100, cheap 12 mpx camera.

I would love if you tell me about ISO importance

And in taking portraits how to angle your camera right so face or body proportions are same...

Thanks for the video. Im sad you dont have comments still ... i favorited it ... im sure you will soon :)

@shani21shani Thank you for being the first to comment, though! I guess there's not much you can do with a camera like yours from a technical point of view, but your imagination is unlimited!

Good video, helped a lot...I often feel overwhelmed by all the features and controls on my camera...I feel like throwing in the towel sometimes. But your vid this morning re inspired me.

Can I ask what your heritage is? I hear a east Europe accent, just curious.

My first camera was a cosmic symbol, That's what our teacher told us it was called, You know it as the Smena. That was back in the 70's. In between then and now i have a small collection of Russian cameras, I was always impressed by the Zenit and Fed types. I now have an old Canon AV-1. I have yet to try this out. Digital is ok, But old school 35mm is the best way to learn the important aspects of the Art. Keep up the good work!!

I'm into photography due to the desire to capture all the moments and aspect of life that I find interesting, good or bad, happy or sad. And may be one day I can go back and look through my life and see if I have live a good and satisfying life. Don't have a camera yet, but looking to get a pretty decent one with the ability to change lenses.

I forgot to mention the lens I'm using is a 15-85mm lens. It would be great to learn how to take great portraits of people or animals. Plus macro shots of flowers or butterflys. Your tutorial is so good. I can see how much you love photography.

[krazy4baja]

Your tutorial is so good. I recently bought a Canon EOS 7D and have taken lots of pics with it so far. I just luv the feeling you get when the picture has turned out the way you want it too or even better then you expected it to be. I still need to learn how to take better pictures but I'm learning as I take them. I could say more about how I love to take pictures but I'll use up too much space. Thanks for your awesome tutorial. You're so awesome.

My inspiration is great pictures in interesting section of Flickr. Nature and human as well as material beauty. I am experimentng with light, shutter and aperture and my expectation is to click best shot in minimal numbers of shot despite having DSLR
