I tend to shoot Aperture priority with manual iso but I guess that’s just a habit I have from shooting on an old Nikon where I had to go manual iso

[@ALEXKO]

yes relatable ☺️

[@ConceptNewEra]

Always love hearing your insight bro! Thank you for sharing your settings and how you work with them! Super helpful 💯✔️🔥

[@StefanAlexandruGeogloman]

I shoot 99% of time in Aperture priority, with Sony with ISO Auto - but sometimes it bumps it too high so I adjust manually, but one creative thing I'll try for sure is exposing for highlights - the setting you told in the video. Also, I find wide focus mode with eye/face AF very good, I shoot only this way. Until now, at least.

[@kevinrodriguez9659]

I just preset it depending on my surrounding. Usually it’s so much light outside that I don’t need to use anything more than 200-400 iso. Even if it underexposes just a tad bit it’s usually easily fixable

[@enqine2321]

Hey, im starting out why aperture priority instead of shutter priority?

[@Mathadder]

@@enqine2321 Hey! No one responded so I hope you kinda figured this out. But if not, they not have their place. But what he’s taking about is for your quick shot setup. Aperture will almost always affect your image because of depth of field. For shutter speed you’ll only have an effect if it’s low enough to blur motion (yours from shaking the camera or the subjects) l. For most photos, especially if you’re trying to catch a photo quickly, you want no motion blur. Also if you do want motion blur for artistic reasons, you’re going to be having to plan and compose the photo more anyways.

It was great advise after being out of the game for a good part of 9 years. 6 months later, I'm back to see what I'm doing right and wrong and feel like I am on a great path thanks to you!

[@Sam3532]

On older cameras with a slower shutter rate/fps single shot can help you train and catch the exact moment of action you want; if you have a good trigger finger! I always find on my canon 70d that I end up missing the exact point of action and getting shots, either side of it - where I started shooting prior to the moment and then trusted the camera to capture right moment.. especially when using live view because youre shooting blind after you open the shutter

Great work as always! Thank you! One question for the silhouette photos: Do you use ND filters or anything since you are aiming in the direction of the sun?

[@Thedogofdoom1997]

You could use an ND if you wanted a shallower DOF, or just use a smaller aperture and a high shutter speed.

[@AndreiLPS]

Didn't know about the shutter speed limit you cant se on the camera when in Aperture mode, but although I activated it on 250, if I'm pointing to a darker spot, it still goes under 250. What did I missed guys ?

[@toastytoast1890]

Did you set a max ISO limit too? First, check if it’s on auto. If it is, maybe your camera is trying not to surpass either your max iso or shutter speed, but the exposure can’t get right without breaking one of those “rules.” Maybe it’s just valuing the iso over the shutter speed? I know it’s 11 months later so if you found a fix, I’d love if you’d leave a reply for people in the future!

[@jessbreheret]

I love Av but sometimes the auto iso gets all over the place , pretty annoying if you have to shoot quick not realizing the setting are now f*cked up 😝. I think i will keep shooting Av but in pretty good situation only . I think Manual is the way to go if you have a camera that is easy to use , set & if you're not in rush obviously

No, it's so much better than shutter focus. You'll get used to it. Give it a try!!

[@raqcis01]

Can you do a more thorough video on back button focus? I always have issue with that setting especially on a Sony

[@Z_EOS]

Doesn't really matter if you shooting in manual white balance especially when it comes to Sony color reproduction. You can shoot in kelvin 3200-10000K and the color still wont match what you see unless you create profile with things such as xrite passport where you really calibrate your camera to the hues of the scene. This manual white balance is same as trying calibrate your monitor using your eyes instead of calibration device... Once you in Raw it really doesn't matter unless you create color profile used later in captureOne, LR, cameraRaw, etc 😉

[@yohannsphotographyvideogra9542]

[@p.io7]

Focusing by half pressing the shutter button is a brilliant engineering invention that I would not pass onto. Besides being quicker than back button focusing, it also allows you to operate the camera one handedly much easier and more secure. Also it is much easier to shoot at the ground level by using your thumb to click the shutter button. Imo it is much better to set the back button to lock the focus... which you will barely use if you learn to keep the focusing point on your subject instead of recomposing. Recomposing is a skill from the past when we used to have only that many focusing points and all cluttered at the center...

[@didgeriond8047]

Good tips! Av is nice but how often do you change the Aperture setting? Usually the photographers have a preferred aperture (wide open most often, or F8-F11 for landscape photographers) and sticks to it for the entire shoot which basically makes the Av mode full auto. I say that for a greater control try to master M mode instead and exposure compensation will become your second nature.
