Photography 101 with Jeff Cable

[@aisPanais]

This guy is awesome! His excitement and love for photography is contagious. Really really really worth watching!

[@BandH]

You are most welcome. Thank you for watching.

[@shawvercreations9703]

jeff is the best teacher for me! thanks B&H!!!

[@BandH]

The D3200 is an ideal entry level DSLR camera to start with. It has many automated modes that will set the exposure up for you if you are not sure, and also can be used fully manually as you grow with your photography. Overall it has great image quality, and a nice high ISO for getting shots in low light situations. - Yossi

[@bobbyntammy]

I like this guy... real common sense ideas. He doesn't talk to impress you with all he knows but rather tries to teach you what he's learned...

[@monaquinney]

learn more today by looking at your video than i learned in 4 semesters of college. thx jeff

[@caspianmelatonin5770]

Really!? I've never been to school but have a fetish with taking photos of trees...

[@jaminthomas]

@ per haar. It would be a boring world if we liked everybody's photos. Jeff himself said it at 18:10 - some people don't like his pictures. He shoots for himself as we all should and for your clients if you are a pro. B&H continues to use Jeff because he is one of their most popular speakers. He is also a multiple Olympic shooter, so he is doing something right.

[@DavidVogt]

Jeff seems like a really great guy and I really enjoy hearing him speak. Thank you so much for uploading these! I do want to add that I cringed a little bit when he told the audience to focus/recompose. It's a wonderful technique... if you want the person's ears in focus.

[@lindak.hoffman741]

Thank you Jeff Cable, I just read an article you wrote: " WHY YOU SHOULD NOT DELETE IMAGES ON YOUR MEMORY CARD USING YOUR CAMERA ", and learned a great deal. Will start to follow you to continue to learn. Linda/Indy

[@BandH]

Glad this helped.

[@AS-lx8or]

Jeff, I wish I could carry you around in my pocket for quick advice!!!! Thank you for these videos, you have truly helped me. I find myself nodding a lot, things I know but need to be reinforced. Thank you again.

[@BandH]

We will have one ready in a few weeks - thanks for your suggestion!

[@BandH]

Most welcome and thanks for watching.

[@PatrickMcNease]

Thank you Jeff for this awesome tutorial. Wow!

[@djcsr]

What an inspiring talk! Some basics but also lots and lots of little tips helpful for beginner to intermediate. Thanks.

[@BandH]

The Nikon D5200, Canon EOS Rebel T5i, or the Sony A58 cameras would all be good cameras to start with. - Yossi

[@abakerspassion9947]

Thank you Jeff, I am new to photography and this has been the most informative, helpful video, and I have been watching them all, ever! I really appreciate your clear direct style and helpful tips.

[@JeffCable]

+A Baker's Passion Glad you find it helpful! :)

[@tiscayea5000]

The first half of the video is really him giving you his techniques and some good pointers, but at 43:28 is really when he starts getting into 101 information.

[@Siftedheart]

Tis Cayea it was all good to me! Thanks for the heads up👌

[@cindymarcotte9596]

First time I can understand the explanations and directions awesome video!!!!

[@mattshopping]

Very informative and entertaining. I am just starting out in photography and picked up a lot from this and your other presentations at this level. Cheers :)

[@chestertham]

My photography knowledge has increased 1000%. Thanks!!

[@mizfile]

A perfectly paced and an excellent presentation! I always learn something from Jeff. Thanks for posting B&H!

[@AllyDannie]

Holy crap... I havent even finished the video and my pictures are already better! IM SO EXCITED NOW!!!

[@ryebread6790]

Thanks, jeff, learned a lot! Not sure about these negative comments, I know aperture things already and still learned from watching you talk about how you adjusted and set it for your shot. Now feeling confident to use it myself and get out of auto! Thanks!

[@BandH]

Please consult the Event Space calendar at bhphotovideo{dot}com/find/EventSpace.jsp. We hope to see you at an upcoming event!

[@team14robot]

Nice to know that even though I'm not formally trained, I've figured out pretty much all of this stuff on my own through trial and error. :) For the longest time I was convinced all my strategies are completely unconventional. lol

[@andreaRN1003]

Very interesting and informative video. One of the best I have seen, especially with all of the photo critiques within the video. Thank you!

[@alphatumeric]

Is there a page compiling these seminar? Kind of hard for me to keep track all of them.

[@BandH]

At this point, there's no specific page for Event Space videos - but stay tuned for later this year, when we'll have a better organization system for our videos. In the meantime, you'll find all our Event Space and other videos at youtube{dot}com/bandh.

[@erickmarquez1278]

I love the way Jeff Cable teachs !!

[@unabotha2884]

Thanks so much for the easy to understand and great tips!Love to learn more,will be looking at your other videos as well.

[@markwood8705]

Good information, I'm constantly trying to learn new techniques, this reminds me I need to focus on the basics. Thanks

[@ks8610]

Great lecture! So much information that anyone can use. Thanks!

[@jaymack9442]

How would one find out about upcoming seminars?

[@OTISTOUSSAINT]

Absolutely excellent stuff here. Thank you for this. Military guy here.

[@wez498]

Was a great watch, thank you for the tips!

[@daviti2011]

I found all the answers I had for the moment. Good video for motivation to go out and try all the tips. Thank You

[@BandH]

That video, "The Top 15 Features of Photoshop Every Photographer Should Know", will be available some time next week. Please stay tuned!

[@BiHOmar]

Jeff Cable is the best "teacher". Do more videos with him. :)

[@josephinevellamurray6215]

Love watching your seminars.Just received a nikon 5100 for my birthday. and love taking pictures with it and capturing great moments. but some pictures are still missing that look. what do you recommend for me to get the professional look and knowledge.. (i.e seminars.. courses) thanks love the blog and seminars

[@WOZARTWEBB]

Very amusing as well as educational photographically. Thanks.

[@GodlessGlen]

Jeff you are awesome! Great presentation and tips!

[@DonShei]

Very informative video. Thank you very much!

[@oscarturcios9630]

Thanks just starting out and this was very helpful my photos are looking much better.

[@dadashim52]

you were right what you said about that we don`t have to go abroad or anywhere overseas to get a great shots and pictures!...

[@bandofbrothers1964]

Hi Jeff, I wish that I see your video before my trip to Europe and 3 times to Asia. On those trips, I shot Jpeg. Now, I wish that i shoot RAW. It is an expensive lesson to learned

[@denhamk]

Thanks for the video! In the photo 40:20 Jeff mentions he wants both the Eiffel Tower and the Building in the background in focus. On what would you focus to obtain that?

[@SmallbusinesspageOrg75]

Thanks for the lesson, most lessons don't bother with the basics.

[@DuckyGames]

i've been obsessed with photography for 10 years or so ish now and my parents think i'm crazy for wanting to do photography as a career. How did you pitch photography to your family? and what was your starter camera?

[@R4boat]

Great video...thanks for the invaluable information!

[@aragianmarko]

Jeff Caaaableeee !!!! Liked it allready...wachingit after gym :D

[@vishalxyzrepsol]

was about to spend money on basic photography, then found this. Lets see how much worth this video is :) .

[@karenallen7233]

I'm new to photography and loving it. I've been watching a lot of these seminars on you tube. My question is about Full frame vs crop cameras. I have a a rebel T3i. I am interested in landscape photography and wonder if spending the money on a wide angle lens is really worth it for use on this camera body? If it is worth it what lens do you recommend for this camera? Or a lens that, if i buy a full frame camera, would work well with both. tHanks and i really liked the video. I learned new things.

[@BandH]

If you plan on staying with this camera, or upgrading to other APS-C cameras then it would be worth it to invest in a wider angle lens for your landscape work for this camera. You have to determine for yourself if you think you may be upgrading soon, and if so, to a full-frame or another crop-frame camera. There are not really any options that dually suitable when it comes to super-wide lenses?what?s wide on a crop frame is less so on a full-frame. It?s best to determine your immediate future camera, and purchase lenses based on that. In the meantime, see the link below for recommended wide angle options for the Rebel to consider. ?

[@errolsmith5634]

Great! Just great info! Thank you for that site "Camera sim" I learned alot :) I can now graduate from using my camera phone.

[@Solaris01]

Good stuff thanks Posting tech info on a blog when shooting a bar mitzvah so the family knows you know what you're doing seems like an odd reason though. Shouldn't the end results speak for themselfs?

[@RayofNay]

I love this guy! Great video!

[@BandH]

Please contact Jeff Cable directly at [e-mail]. Thanks for watching!

[@jsemenya9187]

I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!!

[@nateulsh1]

Wow. Superb. Superlative information, much appreciated señor!

[@bsid2206]

I still dont have idea , how to take portraits which looks warm and soft in colours. Is it setting related to white balance or people manipulate it in photoshop?

[@spartan04801]

Which camera would you recommend for newbies? Please respond!

[@wez498]

Btw, Jeff keeps mentioning the seminar he did later on that day at 4 o'clock. I think it was how to edit Raw files in Photoshop etc. Is that seminar on here (youtube)?

[@BandH]

Yes, that would be this video, The Top 15 Features of Photoshop Every Photographer Should Know. The Top 15 Features of Photoshop Every Photographer Should Know Thanks for your interest and enjoy!

[@cryptosquall3535]

Do you have any videos on real-estate photography?

[@xero925]

I love this channel! Please do a Nikon D800 review!!!

[@littlewing62]

hi i'm a novice amateur photographer and i'm starting to experiment on the focus and recompose technique using single point AF. How good and how efficient is this technique when shooting non action shots? if i lock on the eyes then recompose my shot, would the eyes be tact sharp? thanks for the help.

[@klace20]

As a general rule, the images would be sharp, yes. It is a bit tedious if you are moving around taking multiple shots of the one still object, because you have to focus and recompose all the time. But it does the job.

[@littlewing62]

alright thanks so much. i'm also having fun with street photography, what focusing method would work well for that? i'm just starting to understand and take control of the camera's full potential, your comments and advise are golden for me.

[@klace20]

littlewing62 Google is your friend. Fully learn your shutter speed, aperture, and ISO to gain a full understanding of how the camera works. Once you do, you can decide what photos you want to take. Are you taking a picture of the street with everything in focus? Are you taking a picture of an individual item or person? Once you understand the triangle, you can manipulate it to get the results you want. At the least, you can google 'Street Photography Tutorial' or something similar.

[@AllGrowing]

Thank you for the useful info and good video!

[@Lighturbulb]

Enjoyable video .. Learned a lot

[@alexandergilana6018]

How good would a Nikon D3200 be for my first DSLR?

[@mohammadfesharaki5385]

Thank you Jeff

[@Qtrademark]

Great information!

[@BandH]

Hi, thanks for your inquiry. Please contact Jeff Cable directly at jcable{at)jeffcable{dot}com.

[@sku32956]

Thanks well done!

[@blackandwhitephotography9101]

cool stuff!

[@echematiko]

0:34:00 there is no sea in Santiago, that's probably Valparaiso

[@MariusB86]

this guy rocks ...and Jerry Ghionis too.

[@MsGigi1971]

I enjoyed the video, but i did wish he really explained the triangle more. I need triangle for dummies. otherwise, i still learned lots!

[@aokithavixen1000]

amazing

[@aragianmarko]

I totally agree :)

[@sargasmedia]

NICE POINTS

[@BxSQUIRREL]

I love b and h

[@amalmohammed6592]

My first SLR was nikon D90

[@JeffCable]

If you consider 8 years "recently". I don't :)

[@TheMojji]

To get feedback i usually upload my photos on YouPic! anyone else tried to learn that way?

[@wayfaringranger923]

nice

[@nmfranklin66]

Yes I did learn some great tips from this video ,but I have to question at what point do you honestly believe that you are that amazing enough to have your name embroidered onto your shirt ....... I mean who do these people think they are Picasso...? :/

[@Bloomhoof]

Neil Franklin When they're professionals and have a business to promote, most likely.

[@JeffCable]

Neil Franklin Not about ego or "being amazing". I wear these to my events to promote my brand. I try to stay classy and professional. Nothing more to it than that. Really.

[@azaeldrm]

Jeff Cable Classy answer as well. Thank you for your seminars, I've learned so much in one day!

[@ronkidwell2294]

"...read your manual..." Yea right! ;)

[@neilmcmahon]

This is NOT 101. This is simply... a slideshow of look at how good I am at taking shots to an audience that are possibly new to photography. Within the first few minutes, you mention aperture and I am sure the majority of your class had no idea what you were talking about. You may be good at photography, but you have lots of work to do on how to teach people how to take shots.

[@JG-bh9rz]

hopefully they've all read their manuals first and therefore know what the technical settings do, this is more how to put your knowledge into practice

[@Siftedheart]

Josh B yes, I agree!

[@Diostillrocks]

Most of the people who go to B & H seminars know the basics of photography. This is not your local community college evening photography course,

[@perhaar]

I really love what you guys at B&H are doing, uploading free seminars an so on, but why do you continue to bring on this guy? His pictures are terrible, totally uninspired, and without the slightest degree of aesthetics. Pretty much similar to those I took the first week I had my DSLR. He knows about the technical stuff, but a photographer he is not. I don't get it. Sorry!

[@kulko121]

Amazing. But what is wrong with your voice?

[@BandH]

Most welcome and thank you for watching.
