If You've read this far just comment something nice, and have an awesome day xx

[@sawyerhartman]

Hey Everyone!!! Sorry for the audio in this one, my mic was low battery! BUT ANYWAY lol Question of the Day! What is your biggest photography tip? Is there anything you've figured out that you think is pretty cool??

[@pauloancarvalho]

No problem! 😁

[@JoeyNDot]

One of the biggest tips i was given was being able to switch lenses quickly and safely when on the go. It's important to know how to change lenses so that you're not wasting time trying to do that when you could be taking a picture. It seems kinda insignificant but trust me it makes a difference

[@deviningram6814]

sawyerhartman I was gonna comment and ask if your mic was working properly!

[@stephansieber4963]

sawyerhartman Im a noob and the biggest tip was to shoot raw and edit in post. thx for the vid!

[@MohitSingh-yc5bi]

Sir can u suggest best portrait lens??

[@joshua883]

I love that you actually did photo demonstration. Too often we see before and immediately just the image. Shot staging was fun to see

[@sawyerhartman]

Thanks Joshua! Ill make sure the videos in the future are more visual! Thats how i learn best as well!

[@ThailaSkyeVlogs]

YESSSS! More of this!

[@jonaszczyszczon]

great material! thanks

[@madisonhinson7455]

Love all the tips it really does help!!! Will there be tips on how to shoot with film?

[@arturomntl5003]

My biggest photography tip would probably be don’t stress if the picture you get looks unpleasant just remember about post-production. This was a huge thing I figured cause I’m a perfectionist. Also I love your videos Sawyer!!! Is it possible if you do a Lightroom tutorial?

[@tbucsclw1]

Number 5 was awesome. Honestly well done..

[@MrSmoothasf]

Nice content! Also I don't know what lens you were using on this video but it is sweeeeeeet! Shallow and colouring on point.

[@SamBritton]

Loved this bro!! Whenever I watch your videos it just puts me in the mood to go shoot😂 it’s 2am in the UK and I’m literally packing my bag to go shoot some night photography. Such a inspiration mate🤘🏼

[@sawyerhartman]

yesssss thats what i want to hear!

[@SamBritton]

sawyerhartman honestly bro been following you since near enough day one and you’ve helped me with soooo much!! Just wanna day thank you and keep up with this new style of content because it is proper sick📷

[@diasone]

Thank you for this video. Which ND filter do you recommend for Canon users ?

[@KiarraSari]

Subscribed! Thank you!

[@murad6997]

Thank you!

[@ZdenkaDarula]

You are so right about ND filters. Guess what? Ive been shooting 13 years and I also just started using ND filter few months ago... that is crazy. I have no clue why I have been avoiding it. I think just not enough knowledge about it. Loving it now and will be using it lots...

[@sawyerhartman9500]

How did we last so long without them? Lol

[@markm7762]

do you find it’s worth it to keep the filter on for all outdoor shoots or does it make more sense to decide from shoot to shoot?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

I know right?

[@ZdenkaDarula]

For me not all the time. Sometimes I take it off, sometimes I put it on depending what I shoot... if I do portrait yes put it on, if I do group of people.. off, and so on....

[@articgoneape]

I have a filter that came with my Macro lens and I haven't even used it yet, maybe I should :D

[@CameronKaiser]

When Sawyer, Rob, and Peter all upload on the same day.. Best day ever!

[@sawyerhartman]

Hahhaha imagine when our uploads are all together!

[@ItsSJ]

Really good thank you ✌

[@Imageyenation]

Thank you 😊

[@shae-lynndumouchel4775]

Really like your instructional videos! I have a Canon EOS M6 and wish I new more about how to use it. I'd love to see a video dedicated to changing camera settings, photo examples of what some settings look like... I want to get better at photography, but I just have no clue what everything does!

[@f_r_e_d]

Every minute wasted on "guidance" is another shot missed. It works like any other cam. First learn about: iso, apeture, speed. This will help you use manual mode. Second how to use Tv and Av, once you understand manual, this will be a cake walk. Last, use the booklet that came with your cam.

[@RomelosLife]

i'm not a pro but i loved this video because you break down each point

[@sawyerhartman9500]

Maybe one day you will be!

[@sodysfilms6493]

This weekend I was shooting in a tunnel and had to raise my ISO way higher than I usually do and almost didn’t take them because my anxiety wouldn’t allow it. When I got to edit and spent some time on them I realized they actually looked good. So I guess my tip is try new things!!! It’ll give you a chance to grow!!

[@user-bi3ik4uc5i]

YASSSS ❤️❤️😍😍🤩

[@KeTaOfficial]

is that cheaper nd filter or with expencive too if you turning it its sometimes get ugly like you cant see through

[@gczwick8275]

I have an ND filter kit but I don't know when to use which one. They are not marked or numbered. I'd love to see a video in more depth on how to use them.

[@jabarirogers9578]

Best ND filter in your choice?

[@barbarachandler4430]

I have one of those filters on my camera! Hello from 2021 (spooky music)

[@mikaels-p6765]

At bright days when taking photos, you can just bump up the shutter speed, (if you ain't wanting to make a long exposure)

[@Cerus98]

Mikael S-P - Which kills any motion blur.

[@StevenMyat]

Another amazing tutorial, Sawyer! Btw what is the brand of the ND filter that you use? I had one and I broke it so I'm looking to replace it but I don't really know what brand to get.

[@sawyerhartman]

I use Tiffen! they are a little pricey but my thought process is why buy a nice lens if your gonna put cheap glass on top of it

[@StevenMyat]

Great point.. Tiffen it is then. xD

[@georgeaura]

what size v[nd filter do you use so i can get a baseline and just buy step up or down rings

[@sawyerhartman]

I always buy big, so mine is a 82m nd for my 24-70 2.8L and i have set down rings for all my other lens!

[@ashleyholben9141]

Can you use a polarized filter instead of a ND filter

[@davidc8413]

Nicely

[@simongrunewald1212]

hehe looks like you have the new canon camera in your hands :) gratz

[@georgeaura]

now question if i use step up rings wont they get in the shot from stacking them to step up to the size needed?

[@sawyerhartman]

umm im not sure! i havent had that problem! maybe some vignetting on super wide lens?

[@RomelosLife]

i take city pictures around my town in London what kind of lens would be good to go for with a Canon 200d

[@niznoobsky6043]

I would say 50mm 1.8

[@RomelosLife]

ok thank you and what kind of make should i go for i've been using just the kit lens i did also buy some neewer Nd filters but i haven't got round to using them.

[@RomelosLife]

thank you

[@mckharryy]

Good video! Could you do a video on how you edit your photos

[@sawyerhartman]

I actually already did last month!! Just search Sawyer Hartman and Lightroom :)

[@mckharryy]

Oh yes sorry 😂

[@abdulhakim5042]

what is first nd filter for beginner ? i mean how many stop , i love to capture seascape , waterfall , or just get variable nd ?

[@sawyerhartman]

try a variable ND

[@16th.visuals]

Where did you get your 35mm shirt?

[@thomasbezencon2121]

ND or neutral density, is somewhat of a confusing term for "does not affect colour" (has a neutral colour density). What this basically means is that it lowers the light without changing the colour. However, with time the meaning shifted to "sunglasses for your camera", and some may affect colour in some cases. For example, the one you showed probably works using two polarizing filters, which can sometimes affect colours (reflected light often gets polarized differently, depending on the wavelength). This means that yours adds the convenience of not having to buy six different ND filters of different strength, but you technically loose the ND part.

[@hunter8749]

I'm a professional photographer and I'm in desperate need of a 24-70 f2.8 lens. Where can I get a used/refurbished one for a reasonable price?

[@Kristian179]

even though I'm sorta new in the photography game, even I know about the #9 photography mistake since I'm into controversial photography, like my #1 controversial photographer, Tyler Shields !

[@kailaoliveros9299]

Okay, I saw Cobian's face. I'm okay now. Lol💕

[@swaygfx]

Tip : ND's are best for video.. you can always up your shutter speed for photography

[@sawyerhartman]

Well not really, if your looking for a natural Film Looking photograph your shutter speed would actually be closer to 1/60th of a second..... if your shutter speed is too high you will have no motion blur and your image will look digital!
