I stumbled upon your channel last night and binge-watched all your videos immediately. After having seen so many photography-related tutorials, reviews, explanations, tips and tricks, I have to say that your channel is absolutely unmatched by any other on UA-cam. You explain everything including highly technical things with such clarity and simplicity but also with accent on important information and features, whilst supporting everything you say with example photos. Very unbiased, very straightforward, very professional. Hell, you even showed how to take decent photos with a kit lens - a thing that most other "pro" photographers dismiss immediately as being absolutely useless - which is obviously something only someone without talent and/or knowledge will do and think that an expensive lens solves these two humane flaws.

Hi Mark, thank you for the videos! Although I'm middle aged now and just staying at home due to the pandemic, your videos and that of others made me understand photography more. From my father's old Petri film camera and the exposure guides on film boxes which I can't decipher how to use, watching your tutorials and of others helped me appreciate photography as a skill. I now understand the sunny 16 rule and the rules of composition. Thank you very much! From Manila, Philippines!

For panning, you can use a small aperture such as f8.0 and use a shutter speed of around 1/80 to 1/125 of a second and lastly use a low to medium ISO like 100 to 200. I use these type of settings when I do panning motocross in the daytime. I would also suggest for the trail light photography part, add a remote shutter or use the timer to prevent camera shake. Thank you

Hello Mark. I appreciate your videos. Your content feels like mini photography lessons. Most UA-cam Photography channels are out here selling gear, plugging their sponsors or reviewing gear the average enthusiast aren't interested in buying. Your videos increase my interest in taking great pictures. Thank you!!!!
Can you put the ISO / shutter speed / Aperture on photos so we can get an idea on what they might be? Aperture Priority isn't that great if your camera behaves poorly at high ISO, and even mid-range ones do.
Very helpful. Your language and ease of description is perfect for a beginner. I've had my cannon m50 for 2yrs and I've used it a handful of times. I hate the kit lense 15mm-45. It doesn't have great detail lol but your tips are great. What 2 lenses do you suggest? I want to take great portrait shots & landscape shots.... thx again
I suggest investing in a good book on photography. A book will teach you what you need to know. UA-cam is mostly opinion-based rubbish. If you want 2 lenses to cover portraits and landscapes, you could go for a 18-70 mm , and a 70-200 mm . If you can afford a third lens, get a fast prime lens .... a 35mm f1•8 will do nicely. A fast lens will give you better sharpness and more options with your image making.
Hi mark Hope that you’re staying safe and keep up the awesome 👏 Job on your content about photography. I randomly click on your video and then I end up watching 5 more videos 😀 Now I have to take down some notes.
Love your videos. You wouldn't need any priority settings when you are on a tri-pod. When using Aperture Priority the shutter is automatic so you wouldn't be able to adjust for a long delay. You need to be in Manual to set all specifics you mentioned (night with long exposure with F11 and 100 ISO)

Motion blur can introduce a sense of mystery if used strategically. However, in a street scene, I like to see sharpness where human figures are concerned. If you think you really need a long exposure, you could simply switch to shutter priority and choose your shutter speed and allow the camera to choose the aperture. This guy is making things more complicated than it really is.

Hi Mark, if you don’t mind me asking, what is the best settings for moon photography, it’s full moon tonight..I really want to take a good picture.... Thanks
The full moon is really bright. Therefore you need a low ISO (Like 100) and your lens should be at it's smallest aperture. Also set your shutter speed to 1/1000 or less. You can play around with the speed until you get the result you are looking for.
There is no standard camera setting that will produce a good moon image. The position of the moon in the sky will affect the outcome, also the level of detail you wish to capture. Also, the focal length of your lens will affect the exposure.Another thing to remember is, if you are including the moon in a landscape of cityscape which is needs a long exposure, you will never get the moon to be anything but a bright blurry light in the sky. Try exposure of around 1/500 sec @ f5•6 @ iso 100 . If the moon is close to the horizon, you need to increase exposure a lot.

This kind of shot is relatively easy to do with a smart phone, even an older one like my iPhone SE. The fixed aperture of f2.2 is equivalent to about f22 in bright daylight on a DSLR. Camera+2 has a Slow Shutter setting of up to 30 seconds with as low as ISO 0.1 and light trails at night or daytime images of flowing water with that “misty” look are no problem. Motion blur with a panning shot is easy with a camera app that has focus tracking. Smart phones have tiny lenses, tiny sensors and don’t have variable aperture but don’t let let that stop you if your DSLR isn’t handy.
ch sameer the f number is the ratio of the lens opening to the focal length. f/number is not the same as aperture. Aperture is the actual diameter of the lens opening, while flnumber is the ratio of aperture to focal length. For example, a 23mm lens opening on a 50mm focal length lens results in f/number = 50/23 .- f/2.2. On an iPhone SE the focal length is 4.14 mm. That yields a fixed f/2.2. But the actual size of the fixed aperture on the iPhone is equivalent to f22 on a larger camera; it provides great depth of field in bright sunlight. Conversely, because the aperture is fixed and the lens and sensor are small it does not do well in low lighting conditions. You’re talking about a camera assembly the size of a cough drop; I’m amazed these things get the images they do. Various apps for the iPhone provide ISO settings of down to 0.1; ProCam, Halide, Camera+2, etc. obviously the slow shutter speeds require a tripod. But it results in good images in dimly lit interiors, night shots and for recording light trails (car headlights/tail lights at night). You’ll never get a large wall-size print out of a cell phone camera with a lens the size of a BB and a sensor of the size of your pinky fingernail but for web sharing, monitor display or small-size prints the results are acceptable. The picture you get with a cell phone camera is better than the one you missed because your DLSR was at home.
@@household216 Depend on the speed of the motor cycle .These settings are valid for day least aperature of f2.5 to f3.5 1/125 or more shutter speed ISO : 100 to 400

Thank you for your tips and techniques and for the time you give us with this video. It would has been interesting that you share what your shutter speed was about for one situation or other, whatever you are on AV mode.
If you want to achieve consistently successful results, I suggest using manual exposure. Also, use spot metering if your camera has it. Learn to recognise where the mid-tone in your scene is and base your exposure on this. Exposures at night will depend on the brightness of your chosen scene. Try 30 secs at f11 @ iso 100 , Don't be afraid to use faster is settings at night in order to get a faster shutter speed, and don't be afraid to use wider apertures either. Use manual focusing, because in low light, auto focus is unreliable. Try to shoot before the sky turns black, if you are including it in your scene.

From iso.org "Because 'International Organization for Standardization' would have different acronyms in different languages (IOS in English, OIN in French for Organisation internationale de normalisation), our founders decided to give it the short form ISO. ISO is derived from the Greek isos, meaning equal. Whatever the country, whatever the language, we are always ISO." It's a word "iso", not an acronym "I-S-O". Think isometric or isochronous. It would be nice if UA-cam influencers would learn this.
I have a Nikon D750, but if I use my iphone13pro, i can get the motion blur result with a tripod (or still hand) and then choose Long Exposure option on the individual photo. Turns our pretty good. Yeah, I know, it's only good on social media and the phone, but I'm just talking about the result. Regarding your light trails comment, choosing the highest F stop is NOT always the best idea as you won't get the sharpest image. Sweet F spots are never at the highest number.

So, apparently panning at one fifth of a second was too long 😅. I love more abstract backgrounds tho, so I might still do it despite how hard it seems to be for me
ofc bruh ; 😂😂 A mirrorless camera is kinda same as digital one but the main difference is that a mirrorless camera is small, lighter and the image you see through the viewfinder is what you see on the display screen.Digital camera's viewfinder shows the view directly through the lens and it is actually what you see in real life.
I don't think telling people to use aperture priority for everything and using f22 is at all helpful, it can cause diffraction, lack of sharpness and would be much better to just teach people how to do it all manually

Panning is really hard.. is either I did not get the settings right or my technique is wrong.. sigh
that dude with balloons realized he was doomed so he bravely continued going
How come only the light gets caught and not the object?
It's because Mark used a slow shutter speed. :)
So, apparently panning at one fifth of a second was too long 😅. I love more abstract backgrounds tho, so I might still do it despite how hard it seems to be for me
It's good that you are experimenting with lower shutter speeds. It might give you some interesting results. Keep it up! :)
