    I just started watching your channel regularly. It is a good find for me. I appreciate your understandable explanations of how the cameras work. I just bought a Canon Rebel 300D for a very nice price on eBay. Old technology for sure but quality seems to be there. I am working on getting my old Canon FTB film camera working again. I really enjoyed it back in the day. Getting back to photography. Anyway, thanks for your videos.

  • @paraagshah4153
    @paraagshah4153 Місяць тому

    I love your videos and explanations, Paul. Extremely helpful to those who are getting started and also those who want to expand their skills with digital photography. When explaining exposure compensation, you do state that with turning the dial to the + or - side, the camera makes some changes. However, it would be helpful for beginners to learn how that is affecting the aperture or shutter speed or both. So although one might be getting the desired exposure, the result might not be the desired one. For example, to increase exposure, the camera might decrease the shutter speed and result in a blurry picture. Or it might change the aperture (if the range is available) and will change the depth of field. And different brands will handle it differently, I assume. So it will be helpful to have a video guiding viewers to keep an eye out for the changes in the aperture and shutter speed and the alternatives or how to fine tune the outcome of exposure compensation. That way, people can learn about these settings from each exposure.

    Nice cool tips about Exposure compensation. Mostly I slightly under expose my images by 2/3 stops. Since it is easy to recover shadow details, but recovering highlight details using LR are not easy. Especially when we shoot bright sky with dramatic clouds.
    Wonderful video. Thanks for making this video for us. Once again many thanks.

    voting for the slightly under exposed shots.
    stuck about for the Bonus Tip and it does work on my Android phone. I didn't know that thanks.
    I normally use the "Proffessional" mode on the camera which gives me control of
    compensation, ISO, Shutter White Balance and focus.
    hehe - I don't like the ISO bouncing up and down either.

Thx and keep up the excellent work.

    I slightly like the underexposed picture better, mainly the sky - not so much the water to be honest 😊
    On the Huawei P30 pro were also able to pick iso, change focus settings and shutter speed 😋
    But you're probably also able to do that on your/some iphones.
    Again neat video - I myself mainly rely on fixing stuff in post edit but might have to start playing with the meter a bit more.
    Little question: Do you ever use the range finder option? 😊

      Not exactly - exposure compensation adjusts the exposure by making adjustments to the cameras settings - this could be the shutter, aperture or ISO depending on which mode you are using.

    By any chance, does Exposure compensation affects shutter speed in auto iso under aperture priority? Because, I have seen that with (+)ve compensation, shutter speed goes down below the minimum shutter speed set in auto iso, while it goes up in case of (-)ve compensation!!

      Same goes for HDR bracketing - not an option on these "lower end" models 😋
