Hi. I'm a total noob and your videos have helped me out this evening. I have a t7 with the nifty 50, 18-55, and 75-300. Thank you for all your efforts ❤

[@chapposa]

Paul your enthusiasm and love for photography is simply fantastic. These free KZbin videos are amazing and have helped me no end. Thank you 👏👏

[@photogenius]

Great to hear and happy to help - thanking you for your support and encouragement.

[@Blakefan2520]

I recently purchased a Nixon Zf and am taking up photography as a retirement hobby. Your videos are very helpful in understanding phtography. Thank you for your time in making these videos.

[@jordanscheelar3294]

It's normally a painful process for me to get through the fundamentals of a new hobby but I have spent so much time watching your videos! I love how you teach and then implement what you've just talked about. It helps me absorb the information! Thank you :)

[@Jfrigg-ye6ip]

Yes! Love to see a comparison of electronic and mechanical shutters! Thank you in advance!

[@rlgenge]

Nice concise video. Pro's and con's of mechanical v electronic shutters would make an interesting topic.

[@CaligatorP]

Thank you so much for your videos! I am a brand new novice photographer who picked up the camera to take pictures of my boys playing soccer here in America. I am getting great results using your techniques. You make the explanations so understandable. Keep helping us be better 🥰🙌🏾⚽️📸

That is awesome, thanks for the great feedback.

Photo Genius Paul. Thank you for your videos. They are great and easy to understand. So helpfully.

[@lisahannon5801]

I was taking outdoor beach bird photos today and totally messed them up because I was always taught to use Manual settings BUT I didn't have the right shutter speeds, aperture or ISO and they came out horrible. Found Paul's channel and it brought back all that I needed to learn again and first time learnings as well - what a great channel!! Thank you Paul.

[@photogenius]

Happy to help Lisa, thanks for the great feedback 👏👏

[@DublinStreetPerformers]

Very nice video. Thanks 👏👍👌

[@photogenius]

So nice of you, much appreciated.

[@tonykeltsflorida]

I take a lot of still photos so my shutter speed is 1/100 to start. I change it with the light of course. Since I mostly use FV canon mode, I can keep my aperture locked it where I want it. Just like Manual mode. Now, if i do try a freeze frame then I am using 1/1000 or faster depending on light and motion. Good video.

[@thegreatsiberianitch]

Try different stuff, don't be afraid to fail. If your camera starts smoking, sparking, and/or catches fire, you'll know you've gone too far. Easy.

[@edwardkurek5355]

Yes I would like you to go over shutter types.

[@shawnfoodfever]

great sharing 😍😍

[@photogenius]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@seaeagles6025]

Hi Paul, great video and well presented, i like how you used the Record player to show the results of different Shutter Speeds. Great examples explained and easy to understand, and no information overload. Any new photographer will never be overwhelmed with information from your videos Paul. Great subject, thank you. 😃

[@photogenius]

Many thanks 😃👏

Noted!

[@thecreativeitalian7611]

I am new as well, and found your channel by pure luck. you explain things so clearly and simple. Gave your channel name to a friend

[@TelstarFirst]

Thank you for a tutorial for Wallies.

[@shudgins48]

Being a novice, I really enjoy your videos. I’m retired and have become interested in photography. I have an older Nikon 3400 with kit lenses. I’ve taken some very good photos with it but woukd like to upgrade to a newer camera and better lenses. My budget doesn’t allow for one of the full frame cameras like professionals use. One of my friends has a new Canon ESO 90D and loves it. What is your advice?

[@carlgoldsmith5444]

Cheers for the refresh. I see a turntable and mixer. Who is the Dj? One of my other hats as well. 39th year. From New Zealand.

[@photogenius]

I'm the DJ 😀. I still play occasionally - here's a link if you wish to listen or find out more. soundcloud.com/paulfarris Thanks for watching and supporting the channel.

[@carlgoldsmith5444]

@@photogenius Cool, will do. I'm 57 now and use MixCloud to do the do, as I am in month 10 of a 2 year recovery from a urgent spinal operation. Then have another two possibly 3 operations after that. So everything has become limited and have to think outside the box when it comes to photography and reaching places to capture. Many have been captured from the cab of my ute. Pretty new to Digital, 2 years now, just upgraded to a Nikon Z6II about 3 months ago. I really enjoy your channel, advice, guidance and tips.Thank you.

[@TheProtonSpinner]

How about a segment on printing photos? Knowing what to look for in quality printing and framing would be nice.

[@photogenius]

A great suggestion and one for the list, thanks 👏😃

[@user-ts1lf8ev5n]

Short. but clearly explained thanks for shar information lol

[@fredwayne4697]

Can I used my Canon 90d with my 50mm lens for landscape photography?

[@tmaq9726]

If you change the shutter speed, dont you need to change iso settig as well? Also why didnt you choose the shutter option on the dial?

[@DesdelaTrinchera]

👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

[@photogenius]

Thank you for the 👍🏻 😀

[@kellyhorn]

what lens is on that canon camera?

[@Jon-mz2wp]

I'd like to see a video pertaining to actually capturing real raindrop splashes on bodies of water !(river, ocean, lake ) Thanks !!! 👍

[@Lynda8746]

Yes I agree. I would love to see clear beads of sweat or raindrops bouncing off an umbrella or footpath. Thanks for your great tutorials Paul 😊

[@shaihanghani2711]

Yes... Mechanical vs Electronic Shutters....

[@copenhagenbypede]

Arh Nikon Z8 also only has an electronic shutter

[@photogenius]

Spot on 😃

[@Twobarpsi]

The best shutter speed is the setting that freezes the movement of your subject. Unless you are creating an artistic blur.

[@edwardkurek5355]

I’ve been watching your videos for a long time. It seems that you are always using ISO 200. Could you explain your reasoning?

[@photogenius]

"ISO keep it low" has been my message for sometime. Of course more recently with Adobe De-noise and advancements in sensors and camera tech, pushing the ISO higher isn't as big a deal as it was a few years back. I still believe that keeping the ISO low is best as a default, up until the point that you need to use it. ISO 200 is also often the recommended ISO by the camera manufacturers. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel.

[@jaughnekow]

the more you know.

[@GettingOlderByTheDay71]

The best shutter speed is the one that follows the Reciprocal Rule in Photography.

[@NealBarnes]

I almost removed your video from my suggested videos because you framed the thumbnail in red making me think that I already watched it.

[@photogenius]

Thanks for pointing that out Neal, I might have to rethink red borders.

[@Gman1044]

I find f9.5 is the best shutter speed.

[@markshwang6967]

That， is a stupid question.
