You make learning about photography really accessible and easy to understand. I really appreciate your ability to show examples in your videos. Thank you!

I’m really excited to dive deeper into this video. My images are almost always sliiighly out of focus or grainy (even with a low ISO) and it was driving me crazy

Had to come on here to say that I used these tips for a client shoot this week and the photos came out INCREDIBLE. May be my best portraits I've ever taken. The bokeh you get from these settings is buttery smooth and everything looks beautiful.

Excellent advice! My colleagues who shoot red carpet with me suggested continuous focus. I started using it and with great results. Thanks again.

Thank you 😊. Your videos are among my favorites on YouTube. For me, a hobbyist, I am more interested in the soulful storytelling aspect of photography. Your explanations inspire that 📸

[lulux]

Thank you so much . The way you’ve explained has been more than helpful! I appreciate your style and explanation

If I had come across this before it would have helped a lot. It has all the important gotchas in one video! Also, thanks for mentioning canon equivalents as well. In my camera's case AI Servo is just known as Servo. The EOS M line predates the new nomenclature used in the EOS R line.

Thank you for the tips! That was really cool to see the shot from Half Dome! I have a shot from that same exact spot except I shot the reflection off the water and then rotated it to the proper orientation. Keep up the great work and you've gained another follower, Cheers.

Very helpful! I like videos like these who uses real examples instead of just explaining in words! ❤

[AndreyBakuley]

Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing those tips!

This is by far the most in depth video I've seen on the subject of not so sharp photos.
