Pye, you've got a crazy good video presence. Like confident, charismatic, and laid back all at once. You should teach a class on that next

[susanbrambila]

My old neighborhood! So many great photo spots! So glad to see you photograph this beauty there

Repping One and Giva!!! Love your videos Pye. 🤙

[nanafleuree]

Absolutely amazing work Pye! I really enjoyed this video! Thank you

[charleschessler]

Great fun. Love your videos.

When shooting like this I love to shoot in Aperture Priority Mode coupled with Auto ISO and a minimum shutter speed.

This way all I have to do after choosing location, framing, etc. is to choose the Aperture I want for DOF, make sure my focus point is where i want (nearest eye for this kind of thing) and then use Exposure Compensation to brighten or darken the image if needed.

The ISO will automatically adjust so that I get the minimum shutter speed that I associated with Auto ISO for a steady/sharp image.

I'll choose that Shutter Speed based on subject, focal length, etc. If I'm birding with a 150-600 it'll be 1/1000th or higher. For street portraits with a 35/50/85mm lens it'll be 1/125th or 1/160th.

Cheers, Charles
