The Secret To Perfectly-Exposed Pre-Dawn Photographs: You Keep Shooting: Adorama Photography TV

[@peterw1878]

Bryan Peterson is absolutely the best at explaining techniques to achieve pleasing results. Concise valuable information presented in an entertaining way. Thanks Bryan.

[@dannorris1088]

This guy is so much calmer and easier to watch in the early morning. Good video :)

[@Ya666Wa]

He's back! With better sound than ever!

[@asheeshkchopra]

Bryan , I love the simplicity of your approach. Thankyou.

[@999garyr]

Thank you Bryan, video was very informative, and helped me in doing my early morning portraits that I love to do in the summer. I always shoot in manual, for the most part, and sometimes it took several shots to get it right. But now it takes a lot fewer and I am finding I am not wasting that precious morning light, trying to get it right, but instead, 90% of my shots are now usable.

[@roseckansas3871]

Hi Bryan, I just found your videos and now I can't stop watching (1:30 am). You have the best way of explaining things. Thank you for that.

[@leoabreuphoto]

Bryan is back. Finally!

[@mjolnir1981]

Cloudy and Shade both give really warm colours. Top tip!

[@konc888]

Bryan up until a week or to ago i did not know of you... I stumbled across this video on you tube and I must say I was inspired by your informative and frank video... Let me start off by saying I'm not a morning person but after watching this video, you inspired me to get off my backside and get out of bed early for a first light photo session...

[@Stewbyyy]

I love the sound of his voice

[@jaminthomas]

The 60D allows you decouple the auto focus from the shutter button using back button focus. It is set in the custom functions menu.

[@evaeriksson9950]

Love this guy! Getting addicted to his videos! 😊

[@SocyQueen2012]

Thanks Brian for a quick and extremely useful tutorial. (BTW: I got all your books. Great investment)

[@rezayas]

Bryan Peterson...you're the greatest! i had read about this topic in "Understanding Exposure." Bow, actually seeing this, I appreciate even better what you wrote. Please use other examples from "Understanding Exposure" and show them as a video.

[@rpavich]

Bryan makes this stuff informative and entertaining.

[@IsmaelMartinezPR]

Thanks Bryan, best sound of the series.

[@twentyninecycleworks]

I've learned quite a bit of new tips and tricks from Mr. Peterson's videos. Thank you :)

[@bennydelph987]

Learned more from this vid then when enrolled on photography panramics. Great!!

[@MurrayNJ08]

hope Mark feels better soon, think I read on his twitter, very sick with cold

[@tobiamelikan8718]

Hey Bryan, We keep shooting... you keep teaching.. Great videos..

[@haffordj]

Thanks so much for this series Bryan and Adorama!

[@Adorama]

Normal

[@guffygolfer]

AS ALWAYS BRYAN I LEARN FROM YOUR TUTORIALS THANKS

[@oceandrew]

Don't forget to under expose by 2/3 even when using a spot meter which is also metering the reflective light like your camera's meter does. Your spot meter will still try to expose the dusky blue sky as 18% grey which will overexpose it.

[@LEXPIX]

Nice tips on basing exposure off of the sky for cityscapes.

[@ClankyRochet]

Great job Brian I definitely be using this technic and by the way when will Mark be coming back.

[@vaxzine]

well articulated Bryan!

[@PasqualeBianculli]

Very generous teacher. Thanks for posting!!!

[@Rosessesor]

Helpful. Thanks Bryan

[@TejeshwarTaneja]

Really appreciate your tutorials. Looking forward to many more. May I please request you to upload upcoming videos in HD? Thank you.

[@gbpackerfan065]

Very helpful tutorial, Keep them coming Bryan.

[@SentioSilvano]

thats all valid, however i am a young pro 2 years in the field not long I know but i shoot alot of formats, but i feel alot of older photographers need to move into the 21 century and learn the fact that being good at post production is just as important as the actual shoot it's self. please don't take this the wrong way i totally agree that getting a good shot to start with helps however post processing is just as important :D

[@Whittmike2011]

Beginners Luck for me I guess? I've always done it the same way, through personal choice! Great video tip!!

[@Adorama]

Bryan usually shoots in manual.

[@guffygolfer]

NEVER SEEN SUCH A BUNCH OF EXPERTS TELLING THE TEACHER HOW TO DO IT. DANG! I DON'T KNOW WHY THEY ARE NOT TEACHING TO A WORLD WIDE AUDIENCE

[@7afiz-Crypto]

Second Favorite after Gavin.

[@blissfulmusics195]

this is wat I looked for...superb . thanks

[@rajo143]

Best episode!

[@MrVoayer]

Just as usual: Bryan is ordinary great ! ;-)

[@smartipants2]

Very useful information. I love your series & watch every episode. i'd like tips on night photography of action or sports, such as auto racing, where you can't use a tripod & have constantly changing / relatively low light. once the sun goes down, the track lights are pretty consistent, but i find myself experimenting a lot with different settings to catch the action. i have a nikon d90 with a 50mm prime lens (f1.4) & crank up the iso, but any other tips you can give would be appreciated. thx

[@GraeneyMac]

Practical tip, as ever. Thank you.

[@guffygolfer]

He is a great teacher. Povdov

[@AndyMc1952]

Brian sums up quicker. Exposure is easy to understand here. As always great tips

[@dobermansnp]

Great one Bryan!!!

[@vnagireddi]

Thank you Bryan.Very informative.

[@sarg141]

Great Video. Thank you very much.

[@dajssimonelli]

thanks bryan, very useful like always. you do this so simple that makes me feel a dummy when i shoot

[@johnnycincocero]

Mr. Petersen's books are great!

[@hank1529]

Thanks a lot, Bryan. I have a quick question. In the book "Understand Exposure", you never mentioned about metering at "-2/3" off of the dusty sky, when you discussed the "Sky Brothers". You only mentioned "-2/3" for metering off of Green. Can you confirm his?

[@otr1otr2]

I may be wrong, but I'm making my own interpretation. I think he is metering off the blue sky to 0, then when he recomposes, the meter is then reading a - 2/3. Maybe?

[@TeckBio]

I keep hearing "Meter Off" and I don't know how to do that. Do u set the focus on the by holding down shutter button half way(Canon 60D), the tilt your camera lens to your subject?. Please let me know. Thank You.

[@tonki5D2]

great video. very informative.

[@baryalaya616]

Unfortunately you do not have photography class in the Netherlands .if you have class in the Netherlands I will certainly register for your class.

[@Rezaroth]

Great vid as usual..keep the awesomeness comin'

[@MJMImages]

Bryan, I own all your stuff and love your work, but do you have to plug your books on every single video!?

[@MauroMatacchione]

woooo Bryan's back! :D

[@dphotos007]

I have been shooting professionally since the 80's. Since digital cameras are the main source of cameras sold people just use the LCD screen to judge their photos. When we shot film we did not have an LCD screen. We had Polaroid but that was never a true example to exposure and color balance. I still think it is important to understand metering and light temp balance to create a good raw file and not to rely on post processing.

[@dawayen]

Here he comes to save the day.

[@drevosv]

Great as always! Huge thanks from Russia!

[@LikeOnATree]

Great video Bryan, thanks!

[@alexmitchell8968]

great info, thanks

[@1717jbs]

Great! As always.

[@AnVoPhotography]

Great advice. Thank you.

[@sh9683]

i love this channel so much helpful tips,

[@jacekztelelefonu]

I love your tips. You are the best

[@EnidAgnusDei]

I shoot jpeg and for all lighting conditions use cloudy for white balance.

[@yujinlandscapephotography.7787]

I love your tip. Thank!

[@sshe2246]

great , as usual

[@Shveti]

Thank you so much. Could you use AE Lock?

[@ToddHakala]

Good vid, Bryan! Thanks!

[@cp3onmtv963]

No problem! ANd I personally have never tried that!

[@Islandbiker10]

thanx man. that really helped me alot

[@lightnorthwind]

Really useful, thanks!

[@effie924]

awesome!! thank you for that info !

[@Dinahhs3]

Thanks ur the best

[@goofyOllieNollie]

Thank you!

[@BrotherBloat]

love Bryan and love Understanding Exposure - sweet :D

[@sofexpert]

awesome 5 stars

[@dphotos007]

Learning how to read lighting values with an exposure meter is very important when setting up strobe, Diva or LCD lights. Please do not rely on your LCD screen for judgement.

[@Shveti]

how do you keep the camera from re-metering when you hit the shutter button?

[@MrArunavadatta]

photography guru

[@84953]

Forgive my ignorance here, but what he shows in the "corrected" images don't look much like images shot at dawn. Yes, I am very much a noob at this. Are the photos then edited further later?

[@akamau1956]

good tips

[@shawnshing614]

Dear sir. I'm Shawn n I like ur video

[@Shveti]

Would you then be focused on infinity?

[@travonphotography3243]

Im in Chicago are you still here?

[@andrenj1970]

raw in post: most control

[@agautam993]

thank you sir

[@buggiala]

does anyone know what lens he used????

[@wildbill9919]

When shooting twilight cityscapes I prefer the white balance on daylight.

[@alexkairis3927]

great tips! but does this really matter if you shoot in raw?

[@BrianPex]

Absolutely. RAW shooting let's you have total control of white balance AFTER the fact. JPEG does not. Try it. Totally different in regards white balance more than anything else. Remember, a JPEG roughly contains about 1/8th the digital information that a RAW file does.

[@PhillipJ]

just point your camera to the sky as mentioned and adjust your meter to a correct exposure...thats all you have to do. The camera meter will read the sky for you. Very simple process.

[@JIMMIX7]

Hey what happend to' rule of thirds',, it's smack in the middle ???

[@burple65]

He's just trying to demonstrate how to get the exposure as close as possible to what you want in the first shot. I agree that with digital, you can just take your shot then check your histogram or LCD. If the exposure is a little off, you can adjust as needed for the next shot. For film, not so easy, so you may want to use this technique to get it right the first time. Or you could just bracket your photos and you'd have a nice HDR image.

[@oibal60]

Thanks again.

[@Sureshb-fh1sd]

Gerald's donuts Vide.

[@AlmightyUniden]

Where have you guys been TT____TT

[@NHBEY39]

Pros are pros and do not "shoot by trial and error" That is the whole point of this to learn to read situations. Plus he said himself you can correct this in post. The fact he does this for a living, has been published several times tells you he knows what he is talking about

[@davidw64us1964]

where is the ISO Speed at ???

[@Riversky88]

I thought I was the only one who thought that. Glad I'm not alone lol.

[@TierDrama]

why u no hd?

[@ilovemeankittyable]

What iso was you using?

[@sh9683]

+just me just an educated guess, but he probably was using iso 1OO, when doing long exposures their is no point in raising ISO, as you just compensate with more exposure time. and get less noise
