I did your course a few years ago and haven't looked back, your slow and concise method of explanation is fantastic...

[@PhotographyPro]

Many thanks!

[@ferdiyansurya]

2:09 nice photobomb, that’s can actually be a good shot! Btw, i love your videos very resourceful! Perhaps can you make one to explain the advantages/disadvantages ‘matrix metering + exposure compensation’ and ‘just using spot metering’

[@craiglouw4057]

You are a fantastic teacher of photography 👌

[@PhotographyPro]

Thank you, Craig! :)

Perfectly valid explanation for Fujifilm cameras. On a camera of any other brand, you don't need to set it to aperture priority mode. Just leave it at P. If you prefer a certain aperture or shutter speed, just use "program shift". It involves just turning a dial. In most situations you don't need to shift the program, P works then as "auto" mode. (The A, S and M modes are only useful, when you what to lock down the aperture, shutter speed or both - and you risk forgetting to reset them, when the situation requires a different setting.) -- After that you can use the exposure compensation as explained in the video.

Great comment. I found myself getting wrapped around the axle when actually trying to get the shot and then getting so frustrated that I screwed up the shot that I threw the camera into the river. I stick with P mode. I’m not a pro and I figure I paid for a camera to do it’s thing. I don’t want to sweat the details. It’s been a game changer

[@dagsct]

Guys the whole point of the videos is to know what actually goes into taking great pictures and using the camera features manually, as in not letting the camera pick the wrong subject or exposure. If shooting auto is what you want then don’t comment.

[@pskourides]

I took the course (a while ago) and have never looked back...it's a fantastic way to 'up your' photography skills, techniques and knowledge and great fun too. Many Thanks Mark.

Awsome studying

[@Saithongkham]

Thank you!

[@helloitsmeterrykelly1944]

Thank you for a excellent video. Question, what happens if your camera is set on auto iso?

[@mikeriesco6174]

OK, now I'm confused...I've been watching photography videos, incl. yours, and I thought that ISO was the thing to tweak to adjust light ( brightness) level...?? So, what is the difference between tweaking Exposure Compensation, vs. changing the ISO? Thanks!

[@Snowbelllove]

Mike Riesco yeah I thought it was iso when I first starting using a camera and taking classes, then he says it's exposure and now I'm getting mixed up with apature and f-stop 😫

[@lainmacam9198]

Accually u tweak iso when your shutter speed is lower than your focal lenght. Use Av at whatever stop u want.

[@DiabloFlaimz]

Word of caution: when you use a higher iso to get a brighter photo, it actually reduces the quality in pixels. If you shoot a manual mode, maintain a low iso while adjusting the shutter speed for lighting effects. This gives me amazing photos.

[@ziongray918]

Maybe cover this with filters sometime??? Liked the -1 exposure too

[@danielcliment8251]

[@pmodi64]

What's the benefit if you shoot RAW and can adjust exposure in post processing?

[@PhotographyPro]

Shooting in RAW format is definitely a good tip for more advance photographers. But it is also important to know how to get it right in-camera. Shooting in RAW allows you to capture all of the data that your camera's sensor can capture. That means that you have more control over the final image during post-processing.

[@ambatikarna]

Thanq nice explained

[@astrowales5581]

heya love the videos. I have a question to ask, I use M mode (manual) all of my shots I take do you recommend for me to go off that setting to use modes such as AV?

[@arianadiego3709]

I don't think he's recommending anyone do anything... just showing what can be done... He probably choose A priority to keep the focal distance consistent, and due to that his subjects were not moving... in this situation, increasing or decreasing the exposure changes the shutter speed and ISO, if its not locked down...just like you would do manually in M mode... :)

[@astrowales5581]

@@arianadiego3709 thank you :)

[@kalaphatak1174]

Do you use the same technique for videos?

[@PhotographyPro]

Yes, the same techniques would apply! :)

[@Jakiyyyyy]

If exposure compensation works too in manual mode that would be awesome I wish.

[@ecamormex]

That would be an oxymoron.

[@baexlive6759]

Which lens do you use for canon DSLR?

[@ecamormex]

Most photographers use a variety of lenses, not just one. A good all-around lens would be the kit 24-105 mm f/4 that come with most canon kits (full frame).

[@dablaire89]

Newbie question but what's the purpose of exposure compensation when you can to adjust the exposure by changing ISO, aperture, or shutter speed? Is it sort of a "lazy" cheat button to make it easier to change exposure?

[@qarhsi]

i am not an expert, but i think that even with those settings on, the camera still has a little bit of control on how it views/senses the light (i am not sure about full manual, might work that way too). so even if you adjust them, the exposure may not be perfect. that's why there is the option of exposure compensation. and yes, you can set it to slightly negative by default, because a lot of times you can just edit by increasing shadows in your post-processing. however, an already over-exposed photo, to begin with, can't be further processed because details are lost.

[@kerosenface]

Exposure compensation is only available only in Aperture mode*, Program mode*, and Shutter Mode* no in manual mode, where u can choose the ISO, aperture and shutter speed like u said 😉

[@bobscott696]

I was about to ask the same question until I read Charlie Moby comment below. BTW. I do like the way Photography Pro get the message out.

[@michaeldahal4161]

I paid for the course but i didnt receive any course! How can i get my money back?

[@PhotographyPro]

Please email us at [e-mail] and we'll help you get this sorted out.

[@mohit-ng6sw]

how are almost every video of his are filmed in mexico

[@PhotographyPro]

It's a beautiful location to film and take photos in! :)

[@mohit-ng6sw]

Great videos subbed by the way

[@AlhambraDream]

2:05 lol

[@stephenchung]

Exposure compensation only works on jpeg n not raw

[@exactcomputershomeentertai7617]

i guess this video isn't aimed at someone who would shoot RAW.

[@Jules1965]

You missed a brilliant shot there 😊.

[@Zapruderfilm1963]

Excellent explanation, thank you!
