Tip No. 6: don't drag up the shadows in Post too much it will always increase the noise drastically, even for ISO100. Tip No. 7 if it looks too noisy, just add grain for the vintage look. Show what you can't hide. (Or just add a slight faded look to the dark areas)

[@roninmantis7584]

I do like that you included the differences between ful sensor and cropped sensor.

[@thefluffinator65]

G'day Jason, as a former Associated Press news/war photographer, a 33 year veteran pro photographer, and never having had the choice but to shoot in anything other than manual with my Pentax k1000 which I got for my 12th birthday in 1978, I agree with everything you said. That was great advice, even when speaking about jpg. Because of your really grounded attitude I have just become a subscriber. Not that you will teach me anything, but I like the way you explain the fundamentals of photography. Keep up the good work mate and looking forward to viewing more of your videos👍

[@joebloodworth]

Instant upvote button smash for Din Thai Fung joke. We love that place too

[@toejullar]

That short timelapse at 3:50 is absolutely sick! The slight bit of motion from the train adds a cool warping effect that would look like crap if faked in post.

[@Ruperticus]

Ohh I love Din Tai Fung. Everytime I go to Malaysia, my first stop is to get some Siew long bao. Great video by the way!

[@robd99]

Some cameras handle dynamic range and hence can reduce noise much better than others. I have a friend who moved from Nikon to Canon as it suited his Bird Photography better (lenses / prices etc), another moved from Canon to Sony for the perceived better autofocus which was most important to him. I moved from Canon to Nikon about 10 years ago as I regularly shoot in low light and Nikon just does it noticeably better (we are all semi pro full frame shooters). I also own some Sony gear and the Nikon system is always first choice for anywhere where light may be an issue.

[@amaliagutierrez9173]

This is very helpful!! Every tutorial only features low light photography with buildings and I finally found one with people ☺️👍🏽

[@frankbafumi7025]

Thanks Jason, I really enjoy your videos! They’re informative and easy to watch and understand. They’re very helpful to me in using my new Sony A7C.

[@saragarciaphoto]

Love your video! You have such a great energy and makes me want to watch all the rest of your videos :D

[@joel_g]

Honestly the brief metering section was new to me. Thanks!

[@JasonVong]

nice!

[@oscarshen6855]

Tip number 6, live with noise. Nobody is going to look at you photo at 1:1 zoom level. As long as your photo looks good globally, it's a good photo. With modern full frame cameras you can shoot with ISO 12800 with some noise reduction, the photo will still look good globally.

[@arnaud78]

For a lot of situations I would agree, but not for all... For myself, I often shoot with an end goal of printing, and printing shows up every little defect. Especially noise.

[@jacknuak74]

@@arnaud78 Couldn't agree more!

[@ANDRIANFEMIXOBOY]

Long exposure always good technique for make a great great photos.

[@gliderman9302]

I hope he also uses different brand of cameras. As we all know that sony is given as one of a hi-end cameras.

[@smoloms]

or even better an A7Siii

[@ChrisMcKiernan]

Another great JV Tutorial... Thank You!

[@mumo9413]

You need a fast low f stop 1.4 or 2.8 ( between) for moving objects! Works for me! Handheld!

[@SondraGeneral]

Thank you for the video covering low light! I always botch low light photos. Great tips! :)

[@romiemiller2485]

All that about fast lenses is true. But, the depth of field will be minimal. If you need a long depth of field you'll still be down to f.11 or 16 on a tripod

[@chatoboy77]

I haven't even watched the whole video and I''m laughing my a$$ off. You're on one LOL, keep the great content coming!

[@woogieman007]

I had never heard of ball pod until today lol, my favorite type of photography is low light and night shots but really don't like bokeh in most shots but hey where all different. I'm still learning as I go but got some knowledge. I got myself a Sony A7iii last month and loving it and saving up for a prime lens like a 24mm G Master but have taken good none flash hand hold at night with the kit lens. Very interesting video

Hi Jason, nice video. I do landscape and night long exposure city scape, and a bit of pet photography, just in the midst of changing gears, but having difficulty to decide which body to go with: 5D III, Sony 7R2 or S2. I sold my Canon APSC system. Thank you.

[@JesusMartinezCreates]

So youre telling me that mm means metering! 🤯 I just switched to sony and seems like every day I learn something new. Great video man like always, youre like the sony guru lol 🤙🏼

[@JasonVong]

hahaha! TBH, I didn't understand how to use my camera until 6 years(?) after owning a DSLR!

[@JesusMartinezCreates]

Jason Vong lol Feel ya, I appreciate the honesty. 🙏🏼 its all about aperture priority, you get that popular instagramy bokeh and all you do is pick the aperture haha for real though why dont I see my lightmeter on live view on my a6400? Does it only show the mm values? 😊

[@BabaSteveMedia.]

Thank you sir!

Love the intro LOOOL I took my first pics and thought I spent 1.8k on a a7iii and 1.5k on a lens why is it still noisy! Great video!

[@JC-sm7so]

Hi Jason, thanks for this info. Can you help me decide which one to choose? Sigma 16mm f1.4 or Sony 10-18mm f4. The lens will mainly be used for videos and some sort of photos. Thanks! :)

[@dovidell]

I managed to shoot very acceptable low light exposures of Bastille night fireworks in Paris , with my NIKON D 7200 WITH 18-140 LENS using a tree as a natural stabiliser ( not sure if I used the self timer function or not ).( sometimes I utilise street lamps to stabilise my camera , if I'm not carrying a tripod with me at night)

Do a comparison of the a6400 and the a7iii in low light or a shutter speed guide.

[@briant.3001]

Loved your suggestions and comedy you have a new subscriber

[@Exercises10]

Great video Jason but I have quick question. Why do you say on cropped sensor cameras to Double focal length for shutter speed to get stabilization? I have never heard of this but if it’s right I will make note and try it. Example 50mm lenses you say ss should 1/100 or more. I shoot Fuji cropped sensor and always followed the 1/focal length rule. Thanks!

Great video. Any recommendations for lens for Northern light photography ? So many lens too choose from I’m overwhelmed. I’m using a Sony a7 iii and am learning as I go, but there are so many products. I’m in an area where we see Aurora frequently and I’d love too catch some beautiful images. Thanks in advance.

[@CC-gt3ro]

For macro shot like food and portait, i think a professional flash with auto zoom, would do better with bounce light and diffuser. To my opinion.

[@PeterSodhi]

Love it

[@createdshocked4700]

I mind and I'm watching :) The best low cost FF camera you can buy is 5D mkII and for hard night photography like 2.8 lens or even 1.8 50mm at low cost -if you have other-.
