[@kersakdave]

Pye!!! I’m only starting out on this journey, but this video, how you teach, explain, is one of the very best! And I’ve done an extensive reseach… THANK YOU!

[@MrVoayer]

This is a video that clearly demonstrates trhe saying: A picture is worth a thousend words ! Though, accompanying words help immensely ! Well done !

[@carlosfergo1022]

Finally it has happened to me right in front of my eyes...understanding Exposure "Clearly". You are the best. Thanks Man.

[@mshybiscus]

This video is awesome. direct, clear, and just so helpful!

[@mohapatrababu]

Thanks for sharing this video!! So much to learn.

[@The9q11]

What I personally like best in Pye's videos is that he always stress the point of think before shooting. You have to build the vision of your shot firstly inside your head. Then simply choose settings to get what you imagined. It's so easy to say but hard to get. For me it's the line that cross true artist from just a man with camera. Thank you Pye for helping me to understand that!

This and part one is the best “triangle” information I have ever seen. I have been making pictures for 3 1/2 years and learning as much as I can. Thanks.

[@Adorama]

Wonderful!

[@michaelhull1813]

This really is possibly the best articulation of "why" the triangle.

[@kevaljoshi7594]

Thank you so much for explaining exposure triangle in such a simple and easy way i makes so much sense to and now i know when and where to apply it.

[@angi334]

This was the best explanation with examples I've seen yet. I truly learned something from this. I love this series!

[@Adorama]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@ummay6903]

I love this! There’s so many videos out there attempting to explain this but they’re very confusing! The walk through was really helpful!

[@mashudali8482]

Omg - I'm blown away!

[@UmbriaLLC]

Pye, thank you very much for such intuitive, clear and patient explanations of photography subjects. Finally turning a forgotten passion into a way of life and prosperity.

[@denisfetisov2160]

Like these sorts of videos👍👍👍

[@RodKok]

I am loving this series. Part 2 really made me rethink how I approach some shots, especially when shooting outdoors. Thanks Pye!

[@scotopiapictures]

Thank you. Rarely do I see posts of people walking us through their creative thought process.

[@scocksey]

Great composition information again mate. Always easy to understand and implement in the field. Cheers

[@malhamishery9]

I thought I understood exposure...but was humbled by your tutorial. Great job,

[@HungryCh3f]

You are awesome, love these videos!!

[@alexanderdeathe4956]

This is amazingly helpful. Thank you

[@aprobersonphotography]

Wow, this is incredibly helpful. I always get lost in the technical when I’m walking into a shoot and what you offered makes complete sense. Breaking it down by intention will guide the necessary steps and it will flow naturally. Great set right here Pye...

[@smalltalk.productions9977]

helpful. informative. i like your strategic approach. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.

[@jeffnewman8261]

Thank you Pye. I liked the practical examples. Very helpful!

[@60p]

Good work Pye. 😃

[@rutjosnabet]

Fantastic video that has cemented my work flow/thought process around shots in regards to the exposure triangle but with the added aspect of creative considerations. Looking forward to the next one!

[@Adorama]

Glad it was helpful!

[@thomastuorto9929]

Great family photos!

[@aramb]

I don't know that I've ever heard a photographer talking about the exposure elements in quite this way before. Thanks for a new perspective.

[@sharonhaasbroek7464]

Thank you!

[@bobbowring1702]

Thank you for the new perspective another lesson learned.More of these practical walkthroughs would be great.

[@angryoaf]

Need more of these practical walkthroughs 🥺

[@stephenedwards8855]

Excellent!!

[@jonnybondphoto]

Thank you Pye. In the first photo, how did you keep the couple sharp shooting at 1 sec?

[@ravenchaos9216]

Omg yesss thank you so much!!

[@TurtleColonel]

Great video!

[@chetansondagar]

Thanks, Pye, for another great video. What metering do you usually use for portrait photos?

[@gpdoyon]

Great tips! Thank you for the very practical examples and keeping things simple. :)

[@108manik]

Thanks

[@neklamp2431]

Nice!

[@balajikannan7367]

Spectacular ji... Useful video sir.. great sir.. blooming f/4... sir how to find native iso for Nikon D90...

[@pravinharkude6438]

good suggestion sir

[@marcchandler3411]

It’s really nice to know that I was on the right track when making decisions with my photography. Just to apply the tips you gave here.

[@rhueoflandorin]

I've been doing this without even realizing it. I decide on the vision for the shot, then choose the PRIMARY element of the triangle that is core to that vision: for motion, i'll start by setting shutter speed and then BALANCE the aperture and ISO to get the image i want. For focal length (whether i want my background to blur out and make my subject pop, or to get a breathtaking landscape, i'll start by setting aperture and balance the shutter speed and ISO to what my needs are. (shutter speed will often be my second setting because if i am handheld, i'll have to set it appropriately) but ISO and shutter speed will be what i balance to my aperture to get the right exposure. And ...well, i never really mess around with ISO / softness/detail much, i usually only do the top two methods. But if i were wanting an older style grainy, maybe black and white final image, i'd start with ISO, then make the decision of whether i want to freeze motion or show motion and work on shutter speed second, balancing the aperture to that...If i didn't get enough focal length then i'd adjust one or both of the starting elements to get something more comparable to my original vision.

[@fuyuhan]

awsome

[@danbrowning2418]

Cute kids!

[@PeterMForbes]

For the first shot, you mention that it is a 'bright environment' but then are able to take a shot at 1s, f9.0 and ISO50; surely that would have given way too much light. Did you use a VERY dark ND filter?

[@parkerbrian24]

👍🏾

[@TomCooper]

I have to wonder what the "one right way" crowd would have said in the days of painted portraits..."Never use a pallete knife...only use camelhair brushes...do not correct for wrinkles..."

[@MartinV.]

Great Video!
