I've watched multiple beginner videos especially focused on these 3 aspects. Never have I come across one as simple and easy to understand as this one
Glad you enjoyed!
Same man literally 😊❤
I do agree with this. Love your video mate.
Agreed
Facts!
everyone else makes it so hard to understand and you made is so easy, thank you ❤️
For real!!
same dude he explained so easily though other youtubers are explaing like a hell
Ditto
You are soo right
I agree with this wholeheartedly
I wish all videos were straightforward like this. I've been watching videos all day and all I got was a headache 😅
Now, in only 3 minutes I got a better understanding to improve my pictures.
What Matheus said and many other commenters! I can't thank you enough for this video. I've always had a pretty good feeling about B&H being reputable too, and you've done it again with this super well done video. My understanding and confidence for figuring out iso, aperture and shutter speed, has been low for years and I feel like I have a launchpad now with the help of this video. Thanks Again!
Finallyyyyyy... a video that explains EVERYTHING super clearly, without going on about it for 1,000,000 years and leaving you confused in the end. Thank you sir!
We're glad it helped!
Thanks to you. I wish you could explain everything in life haha!
Lol facts
Learned more here in 3 minutes than 3 days in college
OMG You explained in 3 minutes and 30 seconds what my college professor kept confusing me on for a three hour lecture. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Glad we could help!
Wish I could mention my teacher here!
can't believe I've learnt 1 hour worth of the same thing in just 3 minutes in this video xD thanks !
0:18 Holy shit. For a second I thought I was gonna have a spiritual awakening. This guy is the guru of camera stuff.
The best and simplest explanation of all 3 options ever!
No one could beat you man! Thanks!!!
straightforward.. Thank You!
Here's my notes, let me know if I misunderstood something!
Shutter speed: the length of time between the opening and closing of a camera shutter
-High/fast shutter speeds to capture motion/freeze action
-Low/slow shutter speeds to blur motion
Aperture: the size of the hole that lets light into a camera
-Larger apertures/lower f stops like f/2.8 (the smaller the number, the larger the hole) create a very narrow area of focus (shallower depth of field)
-Smaller apertures/higher f stops like f/20 (the larger the number, the smaller the hole) give the image more overall focus (more depth of field)
ISO: light sensitivity
-low ISOs like ISO 50 are good for well-lit rooms and sunny days
-high ISOs like ISO 2500 are good for environments with less light
Shutter speed, aperture, and ISO are all equally important, however you should focus on one at a time depending on which elements you want to emphasize in the photo, and adjust the other two accordingly
Great summary! Here’s mine;
1.) Shutter speed; is the measured time of an image, the moment between the opening & closing of the camera shutter
- if you need to stop time, freeze a fast moving object, then shoot with a HIGHER SHUTTER SPEED,
- eg. 1/6s; low shutter speed creates a blur in a moving object. Blurs the motion.
- 1/4000s; high shutter speed freezes a moving object.
2.) Aperture- this is the size of the hole that let’s the light into the camera.
By changing the aperture, you are able to specify by how much the subject stays in focus,
- shooting on a larger aperture like f/2.8(the the smaller the number, the larger the hole) creates a very narrow area of focus,
- stopping the aperture down to f/20(the larger the number, the smaller the hole) creates a greater depth of field; with more of the subject & background,
* The larger the f stop (f/_) the more shallow the depth of field with more of the subject and background in focus.
* The smaller the aperture the more overall the focus of the image.
3. ISO- the chosen light sensitivity of the film or sensor.
- in a room with ample light, shooting at a lower sensitivity like iso 200 should be fine.
- But when the light goes down, we need to raise the sensitivity to make an exposure, hence we should employ a higher iso.
* Lower iso- brighter environment.
* Higher iso- low lit areas.
The best video on the topic I've seen so far. In fact the only one that doesn't fall into explanation of how it works but actually gives straight advice of how to choose settings correctly.
Dude, THANK YOU. Every video I’ve watched on these features is literally a video essay about how I “need to forget everything I think I know about photography and just try things out” without sharing any actual information I was looking for. You’re a gem
Worth every second of the video.
No non-sense or extra explanations.
He is perfect on to the dot. 👍
Perfectly articulated for beginners. All you we need so thank you!
I'm a beginner and I appreciate your simple and easy to understand explanation! I hope all videos are just as simple and straight to the point as this! I really learned a lot!
This was actually one of the best explained videos on all three, thanks you, don’t think I need to watch anyone else talking about it
This dude is the goat. You know how many times I had to go over this to get it and still forgot from other videos? Too many. Thank you. Strait to the point.
I'm a bigenner photographer and when I ask about aperture other photographers make it sound so difficult. You explained it simply and straight forward. Thank you ❤️❤️
This info is broken down very well and he speaks so clear. I love it. Plus the examples are on point!
I really like your slower, calmer approach to explaining this. Too many UA-camrs have to rush with manic energy to get their videos as short as possible since people have short attention spans nowadays. But when explaining something like this I need some time to let everything sink in.
Well spoken, best break-down on these 3 fundamentals I've seen thus far. All done in a timely manner. Nice work playa!
Very clear and concise. This is a basic beginner's concept, that despite numerous classes I just couldn't understand. You demystified it and made it easy to understand in just a few minutes. Thank you for making this easy to understand and with samples.
This is probably the best and easy to follow and understand video I’ve seen all year
i’ve been trying to understand this FOREVER, thank you God. i will finally step into a better bag
I can’t believe i understood this in 3 mins. I’ve watched 45,713 videos that were 94 minutes long and still didn’t get it.
Thank you for this!
Glad it was helpful for you, thanks for watching!
@@BandH no problem at all. Be doing business soon 💯
I love it when it’s short, simple, and straight to the info. Great video! Subscribed👍🏼
Glad to hear this, welcome to the channel!
So straightforward and clear. Just bought a Nikon Z50 so your vid really helped improve my understanding of these three important aspects. Thank you!
OMG, I can't believe I caught on to what was being said so easily. I have watched several videos and this one hit home. Thank you for the info with the visuals.
I needed this one. Very clean and straightforward. Most videos explain this like rocket science trying to sound too smart. But you did the opposite. Thank you
Literally straight forward, no BS like all others on youtube wasting time and leave you still confused at the end. Thumbs up and subscribe for such a quality stuff.
Thank you for making this. I'm starting my film school journey and my teacher explained this in a way I didn't understand, this was very clear and easy to understand.
Appreciate this. I was getting blurry images and decided to look around to understand the basics. Can't thank you enough 🤝🏾🤝🏾
Brilliant! You explained in 3 minutes what others take 40 mins to do and far more succinctly!
oh my lord THANK YOU. as a beginner trying to learn aperture, shutter speed, and ISO, this is the one video i’ve found that was really easy to follow. again THANK YOU GOOD SIR
this 3minute video explained so much! Thank you for a straightforward tutorial about this! I learned so much!
Bro thank you for making a short and sweet video. I don’t want 15 minutes of explanation so this was perfect
The most easy yet understandable explaination is found in this content thank you for this
could not be more precise on the way you explain, perfect video !
Thank you - easy does it! Explanation was simple enough yet thorough to explain this "difficult" triangle to beginners
I knew this stuff already, but I wanted clarification and a sort of refresher because I haven't been as active with photography as I want to be lately. Honestly? This video deserves a lot more likes, it is very informative and well put together in a very visual way to show people what to expect from the different settings.
Of course there are other things they will need to take into consideration but this is where I would definitely recommend a newbie to come!
Excellent work man, keep it up, I'm about to subscribe to you as well anyway because I believe you should never stop learning, and even if you think you know something, it's better to double check, triple check, keep checking, don't fall victim to pride and try to justify your mistakes as intentional later on.
On the lateral side of that, work with your mistakes and make them either the focus or take the focus away from it, the choice is yours and your style is yours.
There is no right or wrong way, only guidelines and information out there.
Be you, don't be another in the line of the same photographers you see on instagram, unless that's what you want to be, but don't force it.
Sorry I got a bit hippy there :) I'm just a happy person and feel like people need to stop giving themselves such a hard time, learn from your mistakes and figure out what you can do with them. Art is everywhere
Thanks, for the nice words. Happy shooting!
Extremely easy to understand! Very simple yet effective! Thankyou very much!
