Paul, everytime you do a 'back to the basics' video- they are so very very helpful for slow learners like me...5⭐s as always.
me too
My shots have improved drastically thanks to you.. This is what I learned during the lockdown..
The best way to learn is by doing the mistake...I remember myself didn't remember all the rules as a beginner....now I understand what I need to do in order to achieve great image at any situation.BTW, the more bigger the lens and the body , the more stable your hands will be when using telephoto lens without tripod and slow shutter speed.
I love the way you explain things so clear and directly !
Thank you for the feedback - much appreciated 👍
You've helped me as well, tremendously! I got a DSLR a week ago without nothing a bit and now I have compliments on some of my pictures.
Thank you for your hard work in doing all this to help us beginners
Great video! I'm a beginner that knows the basics, but i got really hung up on thrashing myself to use manual as soon as possible. But as you said, the other assisted shooting modes are great tools and excellent for learning. It all ads to knowledge and experience. I've realised there's no rush and it's about enjoying the learning process.
Thank you for always keeping it easy to understand. Have a great day!
I cannot wait to start learning from you!
Thank you so much!!
I thought i was matured in photography now I just realised i am not🤣🤣🤣
Paul, I really can’t thank you enough.
I like to come back to your tutorials always good to pick up on my mistakes! thanks Paul
I really enjoyed this one. I'll be returning to it often. Thank you!
Paul, I sincerely appreciate your advice and expertise in photography. Your videos are clear, easy to understand and helpful for all photographers. Thank you 👍👍.
I love taking photos at a low level. I also love reflective shots and macro shots.
Outstanding videos, all of them! You present in the clearest way and you just seem to care so much about photography and about the people watching you. This is really so generous of you to share your knowledge, thank you Paul. Some people pay for this information but I doubt they learn as much as they would if they listened to you.
I just purchased a t8i to get into photography as a hobby. Your videos are extremely helpful and most importantly......easy to follow and understand !!! Thank You 👍
Thanks Paul. It is always nice to get experiences from Pro like you.
Great video Paul! You have helped me learn how to use the manual settings on my camera! Thank you!
Absolutely clearly said! I always enjoy every video you make for beginners or non professional photographers. WELL DONE!
As always, a great video. Only make one of the mistakes now, not nowing the minimum focus, but now I know and mostly because of your videos.
Great tips. I've just purchased a 250D as my new travel buddy and have to say what a brilliant bit of kit it is after lugging my 5D with grip around for so long it's been a revelation so light and easy to carry and as you said in your review the image sensor is superb and as good as my 5D. I'm hoping it will help me get out more and just shows you don't have to spend a fortune to get great kit.
You explain MORE in a short time, than most of the other tutorials, with their annoying music and graphics. Very helpful!
Just picked mine up after work and have been watching your videos for a few days now. Very informative and will be a great help to me.
Great video, your tips are extremely helpful and it’s always good to refresh the memory again! Thank you 😊
you have helped me improve so much! thank you
Thank you so very much for the wonderful tips! I’m an amateur who started my photo journey and thought myself shooting in manual mode (via UA-cam) about 4 years ago and this has become natural to me. Now I have to force myself to learn aperture and shutter priority modes. I shoot mostly landscapes (Nikon d750). I have to start focusing manually when not pleased with outcomes as well, which most of us might not really think about even though it’s there. Thank you! Grand merci!
Great list of 10. My biggest fault is never remembering when picking up my camera what special settings I may have left on it from the previous session. 😁 Paul, thanks for putting this list together.

Thank you so much. Just got my T7 rebel and your tutorials are helping me greatly.
Hi Paul!
I just want to write you because I want to thank you so much for your help in my photography. I'm an early starter and a week ago I could only use automatic or half automatic modes. After week of watching your videos, I feel I really can do some cool photos by my own. I've also took great photos on my cousin's wedding. So thank you for your tutorials so much and cheers!
Adam
Thank you so much for being so helpful and informative.
I'm a photography major and I learn so much from you while taking my major for digital photography.
Love your videos! I have began learning photography starting last summer and finishing up a course on line. I have found your video's and they help me understand even more and I can't wait to learn more from you!
This tutorial is invaluable as a beginner, thanks!
You are the only person can make me understaand
So grateful to have found your channel. Learning lots. Thank you so much!
Really liked this video. Gave me confidence that as a novice I am doing some things right but also helped me understand some of the things I should be doing. 😁
Thank You from across the pond, all your videos are insightful and helpful. Your tips are spot on and I learn something new every time.
Paul, love your videos! Thank you!
i love the videos they are a huge help for somebody like me coming from a sony cybershot point and shoot to a canon rebel t7 dslr. i started to take interest in to taking photos and i always used my phone but then i found a great deal on a point and shoot and the quality difference was amazing and fueled me more to want to take better photos so i took to UA-cam video's like yours to better understand everything and i took that and applied it to my point and shot and the photos where even better and now i know what i need to shoot certain objects the only thing about my point and shoot was i had no control of shutter speed and when i had all the settings set it shoot super slow. so i recently just bought the canon rebel t7 used it came with the 18 to 58mm kit lens and the 75-to 300mm lens and i love that you showed that in your video because i noticed that not many people show what the kit lens can do seeing what you where able to take with my camera body and lens has me super excited to go out and shoot photos. id love to see more of what can be done with the kit lens the 18 to 58 and 75 to 300mm like are they capable of good portraits the shot of the boats at the dock looked amazing and the 75 to 300mm zoomed in on that boat blew me away. thanks for making your videos and i will be subscribing
Your channel is a blessing for beginners ❤
Thank you, useful as usual!
Good one! This entire COVID mania has led to me rediscovering DSLR photography. My old Canon XTi is a relic.
So I just picked up an 80D for a song. We live just outside Sequoia National Park in California. (Like a quarter mile)
Subject matter is everywhere. Plus we live on the River, which is a highway for all sorts of wildlife. Then there was the Comet.
Kinda weird. A 64 Year old shutterbug that has always loved the Night Sky, But it never occurred to me to photograph it.
Revisiting a wonderful hobby. Thanks for the tips met! Cheers!!
Thank you so much for this video! This is so helpful, I definitely learned things I didn't know, and was reminded of things I'd forgotten. I saved this video so I can keep referring back to it.
Hi paul. Firstly, thank you for your videos and great tips. I've been using my Canon 350D, which I bought from new (probably 15 years ago), but never got off auto mode. My wife bought me a two day photography course back in March and I treated myself to a Canon 650D. With the newer camera my basic skills, and now your great tips, I am taking better photographs .... and having more fun. I have along way to go and am still learning, but getting more creative in my photography, thanks to your videos. Thank you :)
Ur amazing! Getting back to my hobby in this art of photography
Love you channel, mate! Always good tips for begginers like myself.

Awesome! Thank you Michele - great to have you on board 😀
So much info for my in this video and it's amazing
Another great video! Thanks.
Thanks for the video I learned something today .
Thanks Paul, your vids are so helpful and your explanations are uncomplicated. 👍
The videos are absolutely excellent. Top of the line instructions and persona.
ISO can vary based on the camera and is definitely subjected to the environment. For example, If i'm doing a shoot outdoors I drop my ISO anywhere between 100-400, But i'm primarily an event photographer and most event spaces are dark, especially night clubs. So my ISO for these environments are between 800-6400. No I'll only push to 6400 or higher if i'm using a late model camera who's ISO maxes out at 26500. I have many photos from my Nikon D-850 & Z6 that were taken at ISO 6400+ in low light and the digital noise is minimal.
I am learning a lot here, thank you.
Long time follower of your tips Paul, maybe it's time I start doing what I've been learning. Always great and helpful content and information on the channel, I should book myself in to one of your classes as I live locally.
Fantastic - will be nice to meet you Ken.
Thanks, Paul :)
Another great video thanks for that 📸
Great presentation. Thanks.
Great video. I can’t understand ANYONE putting a thumbs down on any of your lessons.
Great tips there Paul. I admit, for the first 8 years of owning a digital camera I had never heard of image stabilisation or know what it did. Another 8 years later and I'm now forgetting to turn it off because of medical problems make me forget stuff, LOL. 🙈 Tripods, yes that was the first piece of equipment I got after the camera. It was the mid 1980's, I was 17, I had bought a Sony 8mm video camera and my parents got me the tripod I wanted for Christmas. I still have it now, though it needs a new head. But now I have three others. Another 6ft one, one that goes from around 1ft up to around 3ft and the third is a mini one that goes from about 3 inches up to around 12 inches high. Though I couldn't put the DSLR on that mini one. It's really useful having ones that do different heights from the ground up, as you never know if you want to take photos from ground level or need to put a tripod on a wall, because it's in the way. Plus a tall 6ft tripod can be used with the legs closed for you to get your camera above a fence, at somewhere like an airport or sports event, by holding the tripod up in the air and using the 10 second timer to take photos for you.
Great tips... thank you sir
I like the way you teach the photography. I would like to learn from you.
Great video got some great tips
Thx for the help🤩this video is really helpful
Awesome thanks
Best channel on photography in the 🌎❤
Wow, thank you! Very much appreciate the support for my channel.
I'm a new member and I'm looking forward to learning from you. Thank you sharing your knowledge with all of us. Thumbs UP. THUMBS☝....
Enjoying your videos
Nice info, thanks.
Thanks for the tips.
I'm looking to buy a camera mainly for wildlife and landscape initially
Good advice as always. Re manual focus: one of the things I've really missed on the three Nikon DSLR's I've had since 2004 is the in-viewfinder focus aids - the split image and 'scintilating' thingies I had on my film SLRs which didn't have autofocus. I know I wouldn't need these if I had an electronic viewfinder but my newest camera (Nikon D7500) doesn't have one.
I want to get into photography just as a hobby. I'm glsd you posted pictures from the T7 because that's the one i was looking at
7:16 it can do noises and huge focus times :)
Your videos are top notch..I really like your teaching methods
You are really outstanding sir. You are a great trainer. I liked all your 10 comments.
thanks the video was very helpful
this is the first of your videos i have seen, i have recently bought a Nikon D3100 with the basic 18-55 lens, and am dipping my toe into the seemingly bottomless sea of photography,, i have bought a Sigma 70-300 lens and also a Nikon lens series E 28mm (manual lens) all used but good condition.(on a strict budget)..as you say...to try to use different aspects of the camera and not just sticking to Auto. the tips you have given are excellent , some videos do tend to get a little bewildering, especially for a complete novice....have subscribed and look forward to taking some decent pictures. ty
Hey thank you for all your teaching videos I have learned a lot from you I have the NikonD34.00
Brilliant videos! You are a super-talented teacher. I've tried to get this sort of information from a few other YTs, but Photo Genius is so much easier to understand! Definitely taking a course!!
So glad you enjoyed the video and thank you for the kind feedback, hope to see you on a course or workshop sometime soon.
Paul @ Photo Genius 😀
Great tips
