Hi spyros great tutorials, I have recently bought a canon 1100d ( Rebel T3 in USA) .First thoughts were why did i go into DSLR cameras with all different settings and new terminology however ur videos have helped to explain more clearly their functions. 
The world of DSLR  doesn't seem that intimidating after watching ur videos. Cheers.

Thanks so much your videos - you do an excellent job of explaining the various concepts.  Something appears to be wrong with this particular video.  The audio is very choppy.  Your other videos play fine, so I don't think it's a problem on my side.

Could you make a tutorial on long exposures and when to use it?
