Hi Dan Just found your channel ! I am a real novice , and have found some aspects of photography a bit confusing. I really enjoyed the way you simplify what some people over explain.I will be following you from now on. Good luck with the channel .Look forward to the next video. 👍
Thank you Robert that's really nice of you and i appreciate you watching and commenting. Good luck with your photography journey it truly is a wonderful way to spend time, if I can help at all just ask my friend.
Thanks Dan! Excellent video, both in explanation and the images taken. I really enjoyed the tree trunk with the wide open aperture. I typically shoot in manual, so I adjust aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. However, I think favoring aperture priority may be the ticket. I agree with you as well, the right aperture for the right image is largely dependent on the taste of the photographer. However, there is certainly opportunity for the wrong aperture when trying to present a scene. Thanks again, Dan
Great video Danny, yes it helped, i love the way you simplified the explanation...i always have used the do it all setting, but i shall have a play around now
Cheers Dave and thanks for watching, it literally is just playing around with the settings to see what they do especially when in manual mode. Glad it helped buddy and hope you're keeping well.
Thank you Lyn that's really kind of you and good luck in your photography journey it's a beautiful way to spend some time if I can help at all just let me know. 😊
@@WoodlandColoursPhotograp-kt5fc to be honest mate. I not be out making a video for over a month. My last 3 all was done over one weekend. I bored with me doing the same format. Looking at changing what I do. But yes hopefully I be doing another video in the next couple off weeks.
Hi Dan, Your explanation was spot on. As photographers, we can sometimes over complicate things. Esp when we are trying to explain stuff. Your approach to the question you posed was easy to understand. Simple as that. Nice location too. Let's have more of these "why & how" question type videos please. Regards Rob.
Thanks Rob that's really nice of you mate I appreciate it and I think you're right sometimes we try to get too technical rather than just sticking to the basics and seeing it for what it is. Hope you're keeping well Rob.
First, let me thank you for the video. May I ask that you update your terminology though? There are many discussions on this topic, but I find the message has still not reached some. First, there is no such thing as an "exposure triangle" in digital photography. The only thing that determines exposure is the aperture and shutter speed. ISO is simply post-exposure amplification or gain (i.e. brightness). If you want to call it the photography triangle (as the term was first coined in the 2000s), explaining that ISO (in nearly all cases) just increases or decreases amplification of signal and noise, then go ahead. Major photography channels and the Explorer's of Light or Ambassadors never use the term "exposure triangle". Speaking on Aperture, Karl Taylor explains the concept correctly @ 1:20 into the video. ua-cam.com/video/jkEuoTcXNeA/v-deo.html Lastly, I'm not a physics major, but I believe you start suffering the effects of diffraction essentially every time you close the lens down at all. It's just that you do not see its effects,, until you reach a certain point (camera sensor, lens and subject dependent). In this demo, I don't believe I heard you mention your focal length - which of course also would change the effective depth of field. Again, thank you for your efforts. As to the question you pose in the video. I'm just a beginner photographer. If we exclude from the discussion choosing aperture for exposure reasons (i.e. we need more or less light - and shutter speed will not get us there), then, in general, if you want to isolate and highlight a part of the image, because that's what is important, then shallow DOF helps you achieve that. However, if many of the elements in the image are the story (i.e. expertly done by Alex Webb), then a greater DOF might help you visually achieve this. Simply put, in my mind, DOF can help change the emotion associated with an image (i.e. isolation or inclusion). This is the art of photography, and the choice of the artist. What say you?
Thank you for watching and I appreciate your reply but I believe you've missed the point of this video completely and tried to be too clever in your reply, this video is designed to be a basic introduction to what aperture is and how it works in its most simplistic and basic to understand form without getting into the science behind it. Thanks for watching I truely appreciate it.
@@WoodlandColoursPhotograp-kt5fc Again, thank you for your video. Basic I get, but basically, there is no exposure triangle, and there is simply nothing clever about that. Here is another video done recently explaining this very concept less than 2 minutes in (and how to use aperture). ua-cam.com/video/Xamiyb0aCZE/v-deo.html
Lovely and informative video! Question, do you walk with two tripods around for shooting the video?
Thank you for watching and I'm afraid the answer is yes I do but it's not too much of a problem.

Thanks Dan always appreciated mate, yes it's all part of the choice of creativeness I think.

Good video and great examples on how the aperture works. I am learning photography and this was very help full. Just subscribed.

@@WoodlandColoursPhotograp-kt5fc Thank you Dan
Personally I would say a definite yes Dan, its a big part of determining how the finished image will look, good job mate 👍👍
Thanks Steve I've always found it an interesting topic.
Hi Dan. Great video. Nice explanation on the F stop. Take care mate. Shawn.
Thanks Shawn hope you're well mate have you got another video in the pipe line?
