I’ve been a photographer for over 50 years. I’ve had aperture and shutter priority cameras. I’ve used Kodachrome and Fujichrome as well as other type of print film. I say this to let you know I’ve had some experience. Now my comments. This was easily the best video I’ve seen about shooting in manual mode. Or any mode really. Well done you hit all the “side effects” clearly and efficiently.

First person who doesn't waste time and knows what he is talking about!!!! Thank you so much!

Another tip: If you're a beginner and don't want to do full manual all the time (as it can take multiple adjustments and trial and error to get just one good picture) use the shutter, aperture priority modes. Almost all DSLRs and mirrorless cameras have them and it can be a very effective way to get very creative shots. You adjust the aperture/shutter speed, and the camera auto adjusts the rest. Very useful in a pinch.

Brilliantly explained. Probably the best video on the subject that I have seen!

As a newbie photographer, I've watched several dozen videos explaining these things and had already gotten a good general grasp of the concepts, but I have to say yours is absolutely THE BEST. The way you explained it, the way you demonstrated it, and the graphic you used on the left were all brilliant. This proves why not everyone who masters something is good at teaching it - you definitely have the gift not only for photography but for teaching. Thanks so much! I'm gonna take a print screen of your graphic and print it and keep it with me as a great reminder tool.

This is probably the clearest and easiest explanation i've ever seen on how to shoot pictures in manual mode working with lens aperture, shutter speed and iso.
It can take long time to get a sense of how those three things together affect the final picture, but you have managed to set everything quite straight in just ten minutes . Well done!

To be honest, I understood these facts prior to watching, but this was so brilliantly explained I now feel like I could teach a class of 3 year Olds on it lol. Well done sir!

[agrafes]

Clearest explanation I’ve seen so far. How anyone can give a thumbs down is crazy.
Thank you 👍🏻🇬🇧

"You're hands shake too because well, YOUR ALIVE" ... omg that had me rolling 😂😂😂

I’ve watched 40 minutes of tutorials and yours is the most clear and concise

I’m a complete beginner, haven’t even received my camera in the mail yet, and this video made sooo much sense to me! Really clear explanation, the diagram and side by sides helped immensely. Thank you!!

I'm new to photography and this is by far the most helpful video I've seen yet. Others spend most of the clip explaining just aperture setting, or just shutter speed with only a cursory explanation about how one affects the other. The manner in which these settings are blended together and how they impact the others is great. Thanks!

I am still shopping for my first camera for hobby use. After watching your video, I already feel ready to start playing with manual modes. You did such a great job at explaining the functions and uses of each of the 3 main camera settings. You used real terms, but you broke them down into concepts that us total amateurs can understand. Thank you for posting this!! (I know it's 4 years old, but its new to me)

I am a novice photographer and have looked at many videos and read some books. Your explanation about how to shoot in manual is one of the best I have seen. So clear with your examples. You are definitely a gifted teacher as well as professional.

[PianoManChuck]

This was the most well-explained video on the subject that I've seen to date! You are a natural-born teacher. Thank you!!!

[Sabu]

Love how you used actual real life results for all settings.

"children are biology incapable of staying still" I'm dying hahahaha I'm stealing this!
