I've never seen two people compliment each other so well god bless

[@mal798]

In most videos I'd agree. I sensed a distracting element of unease in this video. Almost like they'd had a fight the night before.

[@Allhoney33]

Mal Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed this. I was scrolling down looking for comments regarding their body language. I wasn't sure if the original commenter was being sarcastic or what because the tension between these two is very obvious.

[@mal798]

Lizzie Beth I don’t think the OP is being sarcastic. The occasionally editing mistake to show an odd glance is common but it’s consistent in this video. I also believe Chelsea is their editor. I’ve since seen a couple of other videos with similar tension. It comes across as the unwilling wife following the husband’s life goals, rather than the joint partnership they want to push.

[@jspindle6]

I have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures. I have only 1 functioning arm (& a brain injury that makes camerashake a real issue) I've used cameras from both of the big two brands (& others)... You can use the best best camera equipment in the world, but no brand has auto modes that will do everything. You need the basics. Tony & Chelsea, two people of whom I have never met. They don't know I'm alive. I have just learned a lot about the art of photography. Everything these two say, it's gold. Much of I know about photography today, I have learned from you guys.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks, Joshua! :) :) :)

Chelsea has such a beautiful face and lovely bangs, eyes and voice. love her sense of humor. great video

[@misspatita09]

FINALY,!! Cant wait to see ISO AND APETURE videos, ☺️ Tony I love your hair 😍 Chelsea your eyes so gorgeous 😊

[@kevenjackson9869]

Hello Chelsea and Tony, Regarding the eerily-beautiful 'whale-tail-water' image and the 'spooky photographs... I *LOVE* that a camera can be used to take photographs of things (and the effects that time has upon things) that our eyes just cannot see... Even without using 'props' and 'tricks' - such as for the "rainbow painting" and Tony's 'macabre' (?) flashlight 'burning man' imagery. Those are not simply a photograph" - as in... "that which records a 'moment in time' ". They are ART in their own right. Just as a pencil or paintbrush can be used by different artists to create different visual techniques... ...and how different children in a class (who are ALL taught the same technique by their teacher at the same time) will produce pictures that can show different styles WITH that one technique... ....SO can a particular camera *function* be used with different technique and style by different photographers (that can be developed any way they choose, as they EXPERIMENT) - for producing many different 'images'... not 'photographs', as such. For example - I have a Meike battery grip (for my Canon 550D) which can be programmed to take repeated photographs again and again over as long as an hour. I guess that the same thing can be bought for different camera models - that only just occurred to me ! I imagine that the idea behind it is for use with astro-photography - to allow many photographs to be taken over time that can be 'stacked' on top of each other (using the computer) to end up with an image that describes perfectly the path that a star "follows" across our sky - whilst IT is stationary (or as good as) but the Earth is rotating and moving through space and time. I 'discovered' - when doing long-exposure night photography with a tripod, to achieve motion blur and show that traffic is moving - that a camera can also record the different colours of the spectrum that our street lighting contains... and our eyes NEVER see. With that inexpensive 'bit of kit', I can leave the camera to take multiple images - whilst I have something to eat (3am munchies) in order to see how many different colours can be 'captured' from the street lighting. A whole new level of "geekiness" - perhaps. Others might see it as eccentricity.

[@DIYGuy85]

This was very helpful. For both of you to have different perspective on things and how you compensate for it to improve your photography is very good to know. Thank you so much!!

[@mhollidaygcr]

Tony & Chelsea, you are awesome! I always find small nuggets of wisdom in your videos that simply shock me. I learned in 1962 to never "pull" the trigger of a gun. I have set my guns aside and picked up cameras, I love photography. It seems I have been pulling the triggers of my cameras instead of slowly squeezing. In shooting we say "Slow is Fast & Fast is slow... to hit the target" seems it applies in photography as well. Love your videos.

[@teelin8351]

One of the best educational videos on Photography I've seen. Thank you!!!

[@denniswilson9367]

Biggest fan...bought my first DSLR last October, and you guys have taught me everything! I have 3 of your books from the site and they are a bargain...thanks guys, keep up the good work!

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks for your support, Den!

[@jonashendriks8400]

your video's are always crazy quality thank you!!

[@dillighimire4883]

Beautiful presentation !

[@lukewallacesundar]

I cannot tell you how much I appreciate these videos! Thank you so much!

[@stefanleo8963]

Yes, completely agree your opinion about that 24-70. I got one, that's the sharpest lens I have, but it incredibly annoying in term of using.

[@PreSailer]

You can use a tripod on a boat. It depends on the boat. In New London (many of the pictures here) The ferry is stable enough going past the light houses that you can have a longer stutter speed than with hand held. On a cruise ship you can also use a tripod. But not on a small boat - then hand held is better as you absorb the movement. It all is relative. Wish I had walked around the whale for the shot you got in New London - love it

[@deeptikapil8328]

Hey you people have done a great job.This is so informative and fascinating. Even as a beginner I feel so motivated to discover photography in a new dimension. Thanks Tony

[@waynemorra4787]

Tony, you are an excellent teacher.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

Thanks!

[@prestonjs1]

Thank You for the great gift of this channel.

[@awan4777]

THANKS GUYS. I LOVE YOUR WORK. KEEP IT UP. MAY YOU BOTH LIVE LONG.

[@jerryjacques3959]

Fantastic. Thank you!! I've only begun my photography journey. I use a Canon EOS 80D. I subscribed to your channel a few weeks ago. It is my go-to online tutorial source.

[@craigg9256]

I (as a rank amateur) thought that Chelsea's picture of the Osprey with the fish was interesting, as the bird's head and fish were still enough to recognize, while the wing tips were blurred, giving a sense of motion. Maybe that is the definition of art, as some would praise while others would criticize, even condemn, depending upon their mood. Your tutorials are very informative and I will try a subscription.

[@javedyousaf5766]

Once again thanks alot for making video on most important issue that is shutter speed, ... 😊😊 and love respected Tony Sir 🙂

[@sharonleibel]

+Tony & Chelsea Northrup 8 years ago I read Tony's Windows 7 Resource Kit book, Now I read his SDP/Photoshop/LR Books. I can say his books are a big part of my life, Both professionally and in my hobbies :) Tony kept my career and now keeps my hobby (And his books also took care of having a good enough job to pay for it... LOL) People might disagree on the technical aspects of lens, crop sensors DxO mark or those other techie stuff. And I'm saying that as a 'techie': It doesn't matter! For me, in terms of photography techniques, Explanations and understanding photography, As a rookie in this field, There is nothing like T&C. I go to their books and videos every single day, Whether it is to learn something new or refresh my memory. Before shooting portraits - I go and read the SDP chapters. Before shooting landscapes - I go to SDP and read it again. And before retouching the photos - I go over Chelsea's videos over and over again. People think that I shoot for 10 years, When I just started 3 months ago with T&C's books and videos. And by the way: Thanks for the free D810 and D750 free tutorial by Tony. It REALLY saved me tons of reading which I now don't like as much as just watching your clear videos. So just Keep it up guys!!!

[@EJohnDanton]

Great video! One trick I do when I want a really stable shot is breathe out slowly when clicking the shutter. Breathing in tends to tense your body more. I used to use this technique in the film days when stabilisation was just a dream and got good handheld shots at 1/30th of a second.

[@Nolan.Gurule]

He didn’t say humans tend to get faster, he said people tend to get faster.

[@birdiejack2791]

just found this channel and maaaaaannnnn I am a happy girl.

[@ajtobo]

Thank you guys! This is the most comprehensive and helpful free tips I've ever seen. I'm certainly gonna replay this bit by bit and take notes on paper like I'm gonna sit an exam :-). Gonna be sharing this video on my website and social media as well.

[@rollogic2988]

Great video! Thanks for the info. I put my A6000 on shutter priority at a high school basketball game and set it to 1/1000 with ISO on Auto. The pics turned rather dim and not as colorful. I switched the settings to Scene Mode/Sports and the pictures turned out much better and more colorful. The shutter speed kept fluctuating of course in sports mode. Have you guys had this same experience with auto settings actually doing better than priority or manual settings?

[@deyvsonmoutinhocaliman3832]

Thank you, you gave me really nice ideas, now I have many things to test this weekend.

[@rajibartist3063]

tony has unbelievable knowledge about photography

[@antoniotony4201]

awesome video. and yes I got that notification. awesome if you guys do a video on aperture and iso. and manual camera setting I would watch them all thank you.

[@asmrdadbod2483]

I remember shortly after first shooting withmy 7dmark2 getting blurry pics and wondering if it would help to increase my shutter speed. So I did and that made a significant difference and my images are mostly crisp and clear

[@daveferal7799]

Thanks for making this video! You two are a great team!

[@D3f3ndY0urFr3d0m]

First time watching Chelsea and I'm in love already.

[@TonyAndChelsea]

meh, im ok

[@SeeMeBeSeen]

Hey Tony and Chelsea, thx for another great video. Wanted to see what you thought about something I've heard: that using VR on a lens can negatively impact it's ability to focus well. Thx again!

[@PeterCphotos]

Thanks for the tips. I still do experimentation for a sporting event.

[@OvidiuDanBogat]

Boom -> subscribed! I like the way this video is an open discussion about actually taking the pictures in the different setting (not only a vague mention or a quick listing).

[@Jarred_Gooch]

That blurry deer picture had me laughing so hard at work 😂

[@ichigokurosaki318]

Thank you for this awesome tutorial and all the experience that you share.

[@michaelphillips7057]

Some great tips. Many thanks

[@animalsperspective4298]

“Get creative if you can’t use shutter speed” So funny and true Chelsea 😂😂

[@dreamcometruek9622]

this video is incredible! thank you so much! learning all the basics along w my first camera being a gh5 (for photos of dogs along with of course great video)....fun fact, i was one of the hockey players at chelsea piers when you guys came to test the new sony camera! (i got into the fight with my buddy)

[@junolexus9215]

My own experience says: with full frame 24MP camera, handheld, 3 stops below reciprocal rule is safe if I shoot 3-4 pics, at least 1 of them will be sharp, and if image stabilization is on, that adds extra 2 stops, so handheld with IS on, 5 stops below rec rule will get me at least 1 sharp picture, so with FF 200mm lens, 1/6 exposure will be sharp. but this depends on many factors, so everyone should test it out which works the best for them and their cameras. Hope this helps.

[@vivaladamm]

You guys are a blessing to photography. :) Amazing work. Great video for me to show to anyone starting to learn photography and want to understand Shutter Speed.

[@macbattle7833]

I've been watching your videos for a few months now and they are informative and so much fun. Thanks for the inspiration and insights. I have finally ordered a copy of SDP (Amazon, informs me it will be here Wednesday ;-) ) Thanks again for your time and effort.

[@reempire888]

Great video. Easy to understand. I like it.

[@MiBackpacking]

That was great! Very informative and answered a lot of my photography questions 🙏🏼 thank you for sharing

[@stefansmuts8882]

A tripod on a boat/ship could be useful if you want the rough sea to show movement and the boat/ship to be still in the shot. You'd need a secure tripod of course - but there are useful applications for a tripod on a boat/ship.

[@MAXLAWLESSIBIZA]

I love using 2nd curtain flash with long exposure for motion and ambient light...

[@cook2030]

This was really awesome thank you!!!

[@hansieclaassen9178]

Great talk on a great topic.

[@nb7524]

Really cool helpful tips and techniques as always. When you produce a video, I make sure to check it out. Thanks!

[@Philpunton]

A brilliant and easy to follow presentation. However, reference to the use of light at high speed where minimal ambient light falling on your subject would have been worth a few minutes. I often drag my shutter to include ambient light behind my subject and freeze the action without problem as long as ambient light is minimal. All that said this is an excellent tutorial and will be help so many photographers

[@karoncrickmore2093]

Great video - excited to practice in this mode!

[@sharing-caring45]

beautiful people and beautiful couple.... don't forget....beautiful life.

[@verblakttab]

26.55 just a couple of seagulls, mostly terns... But I'm a new sub, and I learned a lot from your video's... i really do appreciate the time that you guys put into this to explain these, for me as a hobby photographer who just bought his first dslr, difficult topics. Thanks for the great content...!

[@parachinarbeauty1230]

Good job sir.

[@sumimaind]

Thank you!

[@TheRobertCostello]

What would you say the best camera would be for concert shooting between the Canon EOS 5D Mark IV, the Sony Alpha a7R II, and the Nikon D810? Thanks

[@vickiecoody7488]

You made a comment that higher shutter speeds cause noise. Is that even in good light situations when you are using a lower ISO, or is the noise strictly due to the higher ISO?

[@phooesnax]

Nice work folks! Jim

[@JensVesterChristiansson-wr4lz]

Hi Tony & Chelsea, what shutter speed would you use for shooting from a train in motion? I think this mode of transportation gives access to take pictures which would otherwise not be possible, and it is a relaxing way of travelling as well :) Please keep up the good work! I look forward to your review of the Sony Xperia 1 V :)

[@muzlee7479]

As fast as you can tbh

[@aimreadings]

what a great video! thank you for taking the time to be so helpful!

[@notallaboutmeministry3285]

[@bialykadilak]

So much knowledge!!! I'm overloaded! ;) (I'm a beginner)

[@tacorevenge87]

You guys are great

[@NebulaChavez]

You guys make a great photo team love LOVE your videos THANK YOU SO MUCH

[@RowRowWorld]

This was so helful! Thank you for making this video!

[@rp.aguilera]

Yeah!! you guys are cool! when are you coming to Toronto? I'd love to go out with you for a street photo stroll! And then have some beers!

[@raccoon7533]

I know that film makers use a device called "gimbal" for keeping the image stable. Can I use such a gimbal for taking sharp long exposure shots on a moving underground like a pier? If yes, would also a lens with image stabilization like the Canon RF 24-105mm F4L IS USM work for that?

[@kispratik]

Great video. How come the one who plays with light during long shutter speed shot never gets captured in the shot?

[@JordysRailVideos]

What's the best method for taking a shot of a train slowing down at night on a station?

[@parker2969]

It's funny you say that about a tripod on a boat because I just watch another KZbin video of a guy doing a tripod on a boat and it was absolutely amazing now it was a massive one.

[@RealRaynedance]

The best breaking of the reciprocal rule that I can do is 1/125th at 200mm and 1/30th at 70mm without IS. With it I can do 1/50th at 200mm and 1/4th at 70mm.

You're welcome!

[@sarahbennett740]

I love you guys! Thank you for great videos.

[@luisdent]

How much drive storage do you guys use? Do you have a video on storage solutions?

[@haingonirina]

in movie it recommended to put two times speed/frames. Do you thinks that 3times in video will be good ?

[@AP2780]

Nice video, I learn a lot from you guys:) thanks

[@judmcc]

I like the blur of the bird's wings.

[@ashleybass2188]

Do you all have any recommended online courses from photography schools that would be helpful for beginners?

[@mlmrv1060]

Thanks Tony and Chelsea for your wonderful tutorials. You are fantastic teachers. About the osprey, i would preferred that wing blur than a frozen one. i actually like the action of it

[@808stream]

Aloha, Just checked out your sight, but doesn't have X-T3. Any chance that will be added?

[@derekgenge9145]

Great video, Thanks so much for releasing these videos. I would have been lost with my DSLR if it wasnt for your channel. Whats your opinion on the Canon 10-18mm on a crop sensor, I like landscape photography but i also like slowing down my shutter speed to capture different effects. Would a slow lens like this be any good?

[@Marlonorellana]

Thank you for this video it was crazy helpful!

[@PlushPassion]

Nice video! It was very informative!

[@alb41ful]

Thank you! Thank you!

[@jameswarden9136]

thanks guys! I have learned lots from you two. also, you guys are quite good looking.

[@lextek1]

"Haha - you're dumb at tripods!" I laughed audibly XD

[@ninjashift1]

I recognize that whale tail is that in downtown New London and nice video

[@joedaimyo7319]

16:01 "Could've been a cool shot . . ." uhh thats an amazing shot

[@pematamang9268]

Tony every countries Photographer say high or fast shutter speed like 1/ 1000 and slow and low Shutter speed like 8" or 1/4. which one do u recommend?

[@Bebevegetto]

I'm just learning about photography. So many pictures I had to delete because of high noise. What sucks is you never get that exact opportunity back again

[@truthseeker6804]

use a faster lens f1.4 f1.8 or f2.8, use raw, use denoiser.

[@bluste63]

When manually zooming into a macro subject (no-see-ums ) the focus is reasonably sharp however when I take the picture it’s not so sharp. Why is this. The camera is Nikon D500 and the lens is the VR 18-55mm...

[@edieputu]

amazing tony .love you

[@shujaazfilmsproduction7115]

have just landed.. am here to sharpen my video production carrier
