Appreciate your Manual Mode portrait tips! I don't always shoot in RAW format, but I see the advantages for portraits!

1:58. Out of context gold. xD

Focal length doesn't change perspective. Your standing point does.

It was indeed useful ... thank you

Press the display button and use the histogram

that cheap lens you was using was over 30 years old. cheap lenses can be just as good as pro lenses

Awesome video. This might be more relevant for film then photography, but I was curious of how focus pulling/raking impacts the look of lens flare (given a static camera position). :) I can't find any info on that.

Thanks for the video. I own a 14-24mm f/2.8 zoom. I also own the following primes: 14mm f/2.8 18mm f/3.5 24mm f/2 I own a 28-70mm f/2.8 zoom. I also own the following primes: 28mm f/2 35mm f/1.4 50mm f/1.4 I own an 80-200mm f/2.8 zoom. I also own the following primes: 85mm f/1.4 105mm f/2.5 135mm f/2 180mm f/2.8 I usually prefer to shoot with the primes and keep the zooms for backup. However, there are times when I shoot with the zooms and have the primes as backups. For example, last month, I had to shoot outdoor pickleball matches with the zooms because my access to the courts was limited by a waist-high fence.

Very useful tip

There is a far better and easier way to get the exposure perfect while shooting in manual mode, and it does not require wasting time with a hand-held meter. After setting the aperture for background blur, set the camera in spot meter mode (still in manual) and place the center focus point on the brightest part of the subject's face, and for white skin, set the compensation (shutter speed) +1, for black 0, and for brown/asian 2/3+. Thats it! Now compose and take your shots and each one will be uniformly exposed, all perfectly. This video showed a method that takes more time, needlessly complex, and requires additional equipment beyound just your camera. Pros no longer work this way...

I hope we will see medium format with curved sensors cameras in 2023, and photography will be a more meaningful activity with high latitude. thank you.

The interval thing confuses me a bit. How would I set up my intervalometer if I want to do a timelapse for a building construction, which in effect I will need to shoot for approximately 10hrs a day for around a week ?? Can anyone help ?

Seriously thank you so much 😅😂🙏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

so glad to have it be short and to the points. Thanks :)

Nicely done. most videos don't explain the difference between correct & appropriate exposure ( probably because they don't know what they are talking about ) This is the first thing i explain in my lessons & you can see the penny drop in my clients eyes as it explains why they have been having problems for years.

GOOD LECTURE AND INFORMATIVE

Good lord! You know you can adjust the variable in shutter & aperture priority by adjusting the iso right??? You don't need manual mode if you actually know what you are doing! The only advantage with M is the exposure will be locked rather than changing as you move the camera around because of different tones in the scene.

smoothly explained, thanks.

Hi, Thank you for the tutorial. It's serious, informative, and sincere. I loved the way you present the subject. I hope you will make more videos in the future. best.

I purchased a camera recently. This video will help me. Thank you. I searched in KZbin manual mode portrait photo - and I got this lesson, I am sure I shall be able to improve myself. Thankyou. Also, I shall be happy, if you please say a few things about birds photography, as my birds photo are not upto my satisfaction.

Thank you , as a beginner ,for me, easy to understand 🙏

You are putin.😨😨

Tom, this is such a clear and well presented video. Thank you.

Pls improve your voice it's very low sir 🙏💪💯💯💯

I would lock in the focus point and take a test shot before recording also ! thanks for the interval guide ..ill keep a copy of that in my back pack for reference !

Thanks you have helped me to understand shutter speed now I can click without blur

Thanks for making these useful video, most appreciated!

Really good video, and great photos!

😂 camera brands giving these guys money i guess..there are just misleading people

Thanks for this video, I will practice right away... well, as soon as I get home.

Really useful ☺️ thanks.

can you show us your settings of your camera pls

Yes very useful and to the point

OMG you went indepth. Thank you

Thank you

this is the most useful there is! thanks!!

Tom , you've done it again simple tips delivered really well to enable listeners to take it in.

Hi Tom, Realy like the way you explain photography, it is to the point and easy to follow & learn. Now that we are in 2021 what are your strategies with photo storage, I am just getting a little more interest after a 30 year lapse. I don't like the idea of Google having my photos automatically which is what is happening with my Samsung A-315G - which are mainly family, food & recording day to day stuff, tax invoices, interesting bits & bobs but nothing meaningful (family stuff excepted). I have a couple of 1TB external hard drives wich I will start to organise today but everyone is using cloud & Google but do you think it is it safe . Alan

Finding your content very helpful

This was really useful..thank you so much

No clear instructions- wasted time watching

Great video

the best explanation .. easy for me to understand

For beginners just starting to get off of full auto and shooting portraits or landscapes in normal lighting conditions aperture priority works well just figure out if you want a sharp background or a blurred one and set a wide aperture for blurred background and a more narrow one for when you want everything in focus like a landscape and the camera will do the rest. Of course keep practicing in full manual as well to improve your skills

How would Image stabilization come into play? For Apsc shall i multiply the focal lenght with 1.6 so a 200mm minimum shutter speed on an apsc would be 1/320 at the very least?

Happy snapping 📷

Thank you for this video!

You explain everything so well. Many thanks.

Thank you . Very easy to understand.
