    Dude! You killed it. Especially compression. I had no idea about this before now. Thank you so much. BTW, I got here following a link at the end of your video discussing the discontinuation of Canon M series. Don't have one, but I did appreciate the optional strategies to consider when this occurs on whatever gear you have. For me, you're one of the most palatable UA-cam creators. And for that reason, I watch a lot of your "shows"! ;)

I just picked up a second hand zoom lens, and wasn't aware of the compression factor - so it was fascinating to learn of the different effects that can be achieved by using compression. I will definitely experiment, and even try some portrait photography with it!

    Absolutely the best basic tutorial!
    Mark. I started with photography in the late 1960s before I knew anything about how the interaction of exposure/aperture/ISO (ASA then) affected images. I've taken classes (on-line and collage level) and have built upon that education over the years and practiced A LOT. Yes, my photography has improved but lately I've found myself uninspired mainly because photography has become formulaic. I shoot AV 90% of the time because it's how "I've always done it". After watching this video I'm inspired again. Trying the Canon Picture Styles wasn't even on my radar before but it is now...shoot Tv...start looking for opportunities....Zoom lens compression techniques...ditto. I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed them immensely. One thing I'd like to see you do though, introduce the lens you're reviewing at the beginning. A few times I'll watch and wonder "....manufacturer?...model?". Now I have to subscribe so I don't miss your future reviews/tips. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Very, very impressed!
