Allversity Photography Course, Unit 1

[Evoque]

Your explanation is fantastic. It’s the first time ever I understood the 3 factors. Thank you. Please continue to make these videos 🇬🇧

Best explanation of f-stops I ever saw.

Wow i have found the Holy Grail ! Finally i understand Stops .. Thanks a lot. Very well explained.

Thankyou! As a photography student this visual way of learning helps me so much, as I can't really take much in at class.

[StevenTorrey]

That's a good hint: take a picture of the same object but with different openings...and see how it looks.

I write out the series from lowest light to highest f22 to F1.4, 100 to 6400, 1000 to B when I look at simple math of exposure. I like the diagram found several places that includes DOF, movement, and quality.

Awesome video, hard to find those these days! It also brightenend my day to know you'r taking a small wrench on your trip!

[blackmamba]

Brilliant explanation 👏
Short, sharp and sweet 😋 You answered my doubts I had for a long time.

[RainerAppel]

Thank you! 🙏 I'm still new to photography, but your video was another big step towards getting a holistic understanding. 🤓

Hey Kelebrimbor! HDR is one way to do it, but this video is more aimed at showing our students how to capture the light in a single shot. This is totally possible, though not with the kind of contrast values you would see in an HDR image. HDR is pretty cool, but we are starting with the basics in this course. HDR also takes a little more time and technical knowledge, and is more of an artistic technique than a skill all photographers need to know. Happy shooting!

Great video! It would have been very interesting to show four pictures for aperture and iso too and to compare them all with explainations of the differences.

[maheshphotographer]

your presentation is a so much good a very easy under standing of your tutorial thanku very much sir

I unliked this to like it again. This is the best explanation on YouTube ever.

I feel like I'm listening to Casually Explained... Which makes this easier to understand and remember for some reason.

[StevenTorrey]

But it gets more complicated when you want to do things like capture birds in flight... Or moving form bright sun to dark shade (as in a hike)...

[dukemenangoravelsyata]

Encore Merci. That's a great explaination video.

[AndyTran]

Thank you for this explanation. I have to start memorizing this. I get the aperture but I think it's the hardest one? It's like every other one is double.

The example of exposure where did you focus to take the photo and what kind of focus matrix centered one point ( or something like that :) ) Im new to photography but I really love the way you made this easy to understand please keep on Im going to subscribe now :) greetings from El Salvador 🇸🇻

I’m new to photography, so please forgive me if this is a dumb question. With the example photographs in the video, are you basically saying that you need to compensate for the overexposure of the top half in photo 1 by underexposing the bottom half by a just a touch and getting the ideal result in photo 3?

What if I start at f/1.6 and need to jump 2 stops? How do I know what value to select
