Ive taken a number of photography classes and have struggled to figure this stuff out. You just explained it clearly in 17 minutes. Thanks so much

[@sirdork730]

Wow that is crazy! I’m so glad it could be helpful! 🙏 thanks so much!!!

[@GeoFavTech]

Photography class is academics. They go in depth they teach Canon A1 photography. You will get it one day it took me a while now I’m rocking a Z50 and Z6 II . Why? lens are interchangeable unlike the Canon U got to stick to one or buy both it will cost a fortune.

[@alejandrogonzalez7129]

I've never had anyone explain the camera settings so easy and clear. Thank you very much Jared!

I know some people might say there are better photographer than him but i look at the videos of the best photographer and i say that this man is better than all of them. For me Jared Middleton is the king of photographer

[@kevin64573]

I have been a photographer for almost 25 years and you did a pretty darn good job of explaining the settings and how they work. Really dig your photos and the imagination you put into them. Keep up the great work!

[@ABdriftz]

This is literally the video we’ve all been waiting and asking for. When my new Cannon T7 arrives I’ll just re watch this! Helps a lot!

[@Deathbringerrrrrrrrr]

Thank you for all these videos!! You're really helping me in this journey. I love toy photography and photography in general and it is something I have always wanted to pursue. You're awesome!! Keep up the great work. You inspire me!!

I'm a landscape photographer who can't get out due to lockdown in England so, having three kids who don't play with their toys anymore, and with plenty of spare time on my hands, I decided to give action figures a go. So glad I came across your channel mate, awesome content, love the images and tutorials :)

[@sirdork730]

So glad it could help! Thanks for watching!

[@whowho8470]

LOL for not knowing what you're doing your pics are amazing. Really enjoy them. I'm amazed you are not using macro lenses. They allow you to focus really close up on small things. Meaning you could make a figurine look really large in the frame. Such as just its head and it will be in focus. Also, if you shoot in raw it will give you more ability to edit in post. Subscribed.

[@Jupitaaar]

finally watching this with a camera :)

[@ryanpowell2540]

Cool video. Very well explained. I'm just starting out in toy photography, and the focus and depth of field seem to be the trickiest parts of it so far for me. I'm okay with a narrow depth of field, but I can't seem to get it wider, even when messing with my F-stop.

[@nonoloaf5001]

[@themisterchristie]

Been loving your videos, you show great techniques for toy photography. Great inspiration. I've been thinking though, since watching your videos, you might want to use a UV filter on the lens, especially when using fireworks. It will protect the front element of the lens from any stray sparks. A $2+ UV filter is cheaper to replace than a $200+ lens. Keep up the great work, love your photography.

[@Kosh60262]

Nice vid! You earned a new subscriber! I like the fire, but other particles make it sooooo realistic, same for the fire! The fire with Star Wars is incredibly! It makes you feel like your watching the movie or your in the big picture! Other than that, it’s pure Creativity!

[@mysportbuddies]

Awesome video bro 👍🏼. You mentioned That you do burst 💥 and not timer? Do you use all the photos and combine them in PS?

[@sirdork730]

Yes sir! I almost always shoot bursts of photos at once, especially if I’m trying to capture moving objects/particles like fireworks. I’ll often use the timer as well when my hands aren’t free. Most cameras can shoot bursts with the timer also. With fireworks, I will most often combine them all in Photoshop. I’d recommend going through my tutorial playlist! I have a few more videos explaining the process. Check the explosion tutorial and some of the live editing sessions as well! Good luck!

I’m watching your video now and loving it as someone that just bought their first big boy camera (Nikon D3400 - yes I know, not too fancy). Would you ever do a tutorial on trading card shots? I don’t see this anywhere on KZbin. Like taking outdoor or night time shots of raw Yugioh ultimate rare cards?

[@sirdork730]

That’s so awesome to hear! Thanks for watching! To be honest, I never dove down that road, but you should be able to apply a lot of the same techniques to shooting cards!
