Paul, everytime you do a 'back to the basics' video- they are so very very helpful for slow learners like me...5⭐s as always.

[TheBranjegan]

My shots have improved drastically thanks to you.. This is what I learned during the lockdown..

[PatientEver]

I love the way you explain things so clear and directly !

[amberr]

Thank you for always keeping it easy to understand. Have a great day!

[colleenflanagan]

I cannot wait to start learning from you!

Great video! I'm a beginner that knows the basics, but i got really hung up on thrashing myself to use manual as soon as possible. But as you said, the other assisted shooting modes are great tools and excellent for learning. It all ads to knowledge and experience. I've realised there's no rush and it's about enjoying the learning process.

The best way to learn is by doing the mistake...I remember myself didn't remember all the rules as a beginner....now I understand what I need to do in order to achieve great image at any situation.BTW, the more bigger the lens and the body, the more stable your hands will be when using telephoto lens without tripod and slow shutter speed.

You've helped me as well, tremendously! I got a DSLR a week ago without nothing a bit and now I have compliments on some of my pictures.
Thank you for your hard work in doing all this to help us beginners

Outstanding videos, all of them! You present in the clearest way and you just seem to care so much about photography and about the people watching you. This is really so generous of you to share your knowledge, thank you Paul. Some people pay for this information but I doubt they learn as much as they would if they listened to you.

Great list of 10. My biggest fault is never remembering when picking up my camera what special settings I may have left on it from the previous session. 😁 Paul, thanks for putting this list together.
