Thank you for: 1.For not having background filler sounds, music, or gimmicky animations. 2.For no grimacing or distorted gesticulation in video thumbnail. 3.For speaking in an adult, calm tone of voice, eschewing the 'breathless emergency' vociferation recently popular on tutorial videos. Great video, best luck.

[junaidahmadkhan]

Very well explained and to the point. Love the simplicity of your explanation.
Much needed video. Great work! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I love this video and have added it to my photography playlist. I'm a total beginner and want to take full body pictures indoors (usually in the evening after the sun has set) to document alternative fashion and historical fashion outfits. I recently bought a new smartphone (samsung galaxy A52s) to replace my older one from 2014 (motorola moto G2). I learned about the features in my new smartphone camera. But after two practice sessions I couldn't get clear photos so I've given myself photography homework. Probably my lighting situation still isn't good enough (I've got 2 lamps and a white bed sheet as a backdrop).
The people in my community make it look easy, and they say "just experiment". I didn't expect it to be very easy, photography takes time and effort and studying and years of getting better after all, but it is turning out harder than I thought.

Thanks for interesting video. A trick I like to use if a group of people are looking wooden in a pose is to slowly lift one leg up. This causes a reaction of amusement or shock and often makes for more interesting faces .

I’m a kid and I always do the picture duty in my family, this vid helps me a lot with my iPhone 8+

Hi, Can you do a video on Milky way photography and videography with GoPro Hero 9 🔥

[kerryfoster]

Smartphones are NOT made to be held so get a holder with a tripod socket and a hand pod or small tripod. ( these are cheap) You will find it much easier to take both photos and smooth video. And use the vocal commands 'smile' and 'record video' (if available') so you don't need to touch the phone at all - you can set it up, stand back and give the command. How I wish my CAMERAS had this feature! Great Video Mountmedia!

Thank you so much for your Beautiful Explanation 😊
Will add Snapseed for editing...

[brauncowski]

These are very useful tips. Thank you!

[groeneveldlos]

Nowadays the editing possibilities in Goonle Photos are great! I use them all the time now.

Dear Sir
I watched all videos of yours and big fan of your elaboration technique

Would request you to make video on Basics of Videography like FPS / Shutter Speed / ISO / EV and all

[david-markthomlinson]

So for the times when using a smartphone in landscape mode. How do you go about editing to fit with Instagram ratio.

Wow che professionalità, non mi aspettavo un video cosi ben fatto da merano ahah

Dead on with the pro tools on your cellphone not getting enough attention! The #1 question I answer after people are shocked that I take all of my pics with my cellphone is "Why don't my cellphone shots look like this?" It's normally because they are not reducing the exposure on their shots and just taking pics with the auto feature. Cellphones are designed to intentionally bring in too much light because the cellphone companies are anticipating non-photographers taking pics of friends and objects in the foreground, so the aperture on the phone camera brings in too much light as compensation. Just tapping the screen and lowering the exposure helps so much! Thanks for the video, learned a lot.

I currently have a 12 pro and want to upgrade soon. I have tmobile. I want a good astrophotography phone. What would you get? I'm looking at s23 ultra and 14 pro, 15 pro and pixel 7's although i am confused if they're all bad with overheating caused by g2 chip or only certain one gets hot easily.

[cbss_unofficial-mlbb]

My Xiaomi Poco X3 Pro camera app allows me to manually change all the settings in pro mode, like EV and Shutterspeed. Is it a good idea to change them? I can also change the ISO.

[aserioussalamander]

Can you make another video for "complete beginners"? I don't know what "composition" or "shortening" means

[EdwinCreatives]

Hi MountMedia! I've been creating videos just like that! I came by to ask if you could review my video about Smartphone Photography! If you could drop a comment on how to improve it, it would really help me in a long run! I will be uploading another video tonight (8pm UTC +8)
