Who likes my cereal analogy!!! :) More Basics?

[donnykimbo]

I think about it like an eyeball, The shutter speed is the blink speed, aperture is how wide you or how much you open your eye, and the ISO can be like how much light you are sensitive too.

Here are some notes I took to help all of you (myself included :P):

1. Shutter speed
2. Aperture
3. ISO

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Each three terms complement eachother!!!

1. Shutter speed:

- Someone running in a fast pace -> can get clear shots (panning etc...)
- The image can get blurry if the shutter SPEED IS SLOW -> panning
- If the shutter speed is high, the image will be clear without any motion blur

2. Aperture:

- Lets light in
- Details: the higher you set the APERTURE the more light you will let in
which lets you see more from the object's background -> MORE APERTURE - MORE DETAIL


3. ISO ("fake light"):

- Mostly used at low light situations -> basically creates "fake light"
- Makes the photo brighter, but as bright as it gets the quality goes way down on the image... (noisy images)

When I see someone explain something to beginners in layman terms and not use terminology that only a 10 year veteran would gets a “subscribed” from me.

I have such a hard time remembering the way ISO, shutter speed, and aperture combine, and have honestly watched tons of videos and read a lot of articles, and on and on, and I actually had a light bulb moment during this one. Thank you!

Yes! Beginner basics. Definitely more of these. Would love to see a good breakdown of long-exposure shooting. What types of f/iso/shutter-speed you'd use for difference scenarios. Like astrophotography, etc..

-Thinks about learning more about camera settings
-opens youtube to find a good video about this
-sees this video at the top of my recomandations without typing anything

This has got to be the most expensive hobby ever.

[rachaelquinn]

This was BY AND FAR the most useful and simple way I've ever heard those three things explained. Friggin Kudos. Thank you so much for simplifying this down!

[JosephWThompson]

Best quote out of this... "There's a large audience and I don't think everyone is at the same skill set." I love that he still cares about the beginners out there

[menacesocieties]

I dont even have a camera yet still learning this good habit.

[lucid-lim]

I’m a beginner photographer and i love the whole idea and culture i just never understood anything like what you mentioned in the video but i do now. Thank you brother!

[SamuelRiveraFilms]

Yes please more basics and maybe how these three settings apply in video

[jimmy]

This guy is a genius!! Love how he explained camera settings and made it fun. Even the simplest things can be difficult but you nailed it when explaining everything. You nailed it dude!! Thank you so much. I really am looking to take my skills to the next level. I really do have a great eye for photography

[landenbouma]

As a freshman, taking an A/V Fundamentals Class, this was a video that provided much help to figuring everything out. Keep up the good work daddy.

[mblasavage]

The fake light anaolgy for ISO...BRILLIANT!

[andyisyoda]

Best basic explanation I’ve ever seen. For the first time ever I TOTALLY understand. I was 90% there but this anchored it in my brain. Thanks so much.

[ivankaburov]

I literally got a 2000D and I really like taking photos (always done that with my phone), and now I'm listening to everypart of your video like 30 times to learn everything, REALLY useful <3 <3 <3

[lorenzotackett]

I watched this video over and over about 10 times to try to get a good handle on the idea. But this is great for me as a total beginner. I had no clue what any of this did and how it affected pictures. Now I have some idea. Thanks!

[TechWithBrett]

I loved it Peter! Exactly the step I am on right now. I can't wait till the next class!

PS: You can make Two Minute Tuesdays 2 hours long and no one will care about how long it actually is. You have a massive amount of knowledge that we all want to hear.
