Easy, concise, accurate, and very informative. I tried teaching my kids the basics of photography, but I always came short. I am definitely forwarding this video to them, and hopefully, it can spark their interest.
Great easy to understand your explanation good platform for the bigginer thanks . When I was learning form one photographer he was focused on 18% gray I understand little bit but not clear is there any other way to understand ? Still learning through you tube but I guess as you said I have to go and practice more thank you for time
Thank you! The 18% gray card is mainly used to measure the light on this card with your camera. Because a camera wants a neutral exposure of the photo, so not over or underexposed, it is useful to point the camera accordingly and measure the exposure (aperture, shutter speed and ISO). You can also easily adjust the white balance in post process with a gray card. Because you know this gray card is medium gray. So you take a photo with and one without a gray card. A gray card is only useful in a controlled environment such as a studio for example. I don't see the point of a gray card in action, wildlife and street photography. Hopefully this is a bit clear.
Hi Wim, did you shoot the intro footage yourself? If so I am wondering what lens you used for the macro shot of the fly. I have dealt with this situation quite a lot but not with as good results as that.
A bee or butterfly can be filmed with a 70-300 mm lens, especially if there is still a crop factor with an aps-c camera, combined with a 4K crop. A (long) macro lens is of course also very suitable.
