Finally, I am not confused by a "beginners tutorial" because you kept it very clear. Thanks man!

01:08 📷 Shutter Speed Basics:
Controls exposure by managing the time the shutter is open.
Faster speeds freeze action, slower speeds introduce blur.
Adjust according to creative intent and shooting conditions.

03:27 🌀 Aperture Essentials:
Controls light through the lens opening (Iris).
Smaller f-stop values mean larger apertures.
Affects depth of field; smaller f-stops yield a shallow focus, larger for more focus.

05:43 💡 ISO Fundamentals:
Determines sensor gain for brightness.
Higher ISO brightens the image but introduces noise.
Keep ISO as low as possible, considering other settings.

07:18 🔄 Setting Order:
First, decide on shutter speed for freezing or blurring motion.
Next, consider depth of field with aperture.
Lastly, adjust ISO, preferably using auto ISO with bracketing.

08:28 ☀ Exposure Adjustment:
If too dark, increase ISO until desired exposure.
If too bright and ISO is at its minimum, adjust shutter speed faster.
Understanding these basics forms a foundation for photography.

While this is not new information to experienced photographers I think you have done a wonderful job explaining the triangle! Good reinforcement. Thank you.

Thank you so much for this clear and concise introduction to photography! Very easy to understand and highly visual! You're a fantastic teacher Pat!

This was the best video i’ve came across as a beginner photographer!! THANK YOU PAT😭

[bjornwaele]

Your video makes me want to pick up my wife's second camera to go out and shoot for the first time. You're a great teacher! Keep up the good work!

Also if any of you are shooting digital then learn your preferred photo editing software's (Lightroom, Darktable, etc) capabilities inside out. It allows you to know the limits of your camera and what is possible to change in post. Especially de-noising, if you shoot a noisy image you might be not like it and delete it but a lot of times you find that the denoiser in your editor is more than capable of fixing it!

As a beginner who's just bought their first camera, this is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. 👌🏼

[dearlocket]

I've tried to break into hobby photography for years, I've have had many people try to explain the basics to me but they just wouldn't stick. This video made everything so bloody clear I have no idea how I found it so complicated for so long 😂

[KanesFunWorld]

This is my kiddos mom. He uses my channel. I am a photographer. This is my first video I have seen of yours. I am trying to show my boy. You do a fantastic job teaching this! Saving

I love this beginners guide series, I just found this video this morning and while I already knew most of this information I loved the way you broke it down and gave examples of all real life applications to what you were teaching; I'm excited to see where this series goes.

Best beginners tutorial of photography basics. Very nicely done.

[masterkeaton]

I'm just about to start off with digital photography and while I have had a family member explain iso and shutter speed to me, their explanation seemed really overwhelming and was a lot of information at once. This video has helped me immensely, and I'll be using the notes I took to try and perfect my shots over time! Obviously not expecting perfection the first time around.

In short, thank you!

[frankyfarset]

Yes!!! Another series! I love how you breakdown and explain things. I thoroughly enjoy how you express and articulate your craft. Keep up the awesome work!

[chrisjohnston]

Another incredible video! I love your teaching style, so clear and concise. It will take a while, but I'm saving up to take your fundamentals course.
