Finally, I am not confused by a "beginners tutorial" because you kept it very clear. Thanks man!
01:08 📷 Shutter Speed Basics:
Controls exposure by managing the time the shutter is open.
Faster speeds freeze action, slower speeds introduce blur.
Adjust according to creative intent and shooting conditions.
03:27 🌀 Aperture Essentials:
Controls light through the lens opening (Iris).
Smaller f-stop values mean larger apertures.
Affects depth of field; smaller f-stops yield a shallow focus, larger for more focus.
05:43 💡 ISO Fundamentals:
Determines sensor gain for brightness.
Higher ISO brightens the image but introduces noise.
Keep ISO as low as possible, considering other settings.
07:18 🔄 Setting Order:
First, decide on shutter speed for freezing or blurring motion.
Next, consider depth of field with aperture.
Lastly, adjust ISO, preferably using auto ISO with bracketing.
08:28 ☀ Exposure Adjustment:
If too dark, increase ISO until desired exposure.
If too bright and ISO is at its minimum, adjust shutter speed faster.
Understanding these basics forms a foundation for photography.
thank you!
Thanks.
I'm mostly impressed by your correct use of a semi-colon haha
Thank you
This comment probably used harpa ai, for anyone wondering
While this is not new information to experienced photographers I think you have done a wonderful job explaining the triangle! Good reinforcement. Thank you.
Yeah this is absolutely not a video for experienced photographers 😂 but thanks for watching anyway!
@@patkay this video is so well done and the way you gave real life applications and examples to the information given made it entertaining for photographers of every level. Keep doing exactly what you're doing!
Totally agree. I was listening to this and thought how part of loving photography is being intrigued by the basics. No matter how many times I’ve heard it discussed before.
I agree!
I attended a whole photography class and this guy explained it better in 10 minutes 😭
My photography teacher taught the same thing but in a way I could not even understand, I can't believe I am paying a huge sum for the information this man is telling for free.
Your video makes me want to pick up my wife's second camera to go out and shoot for the first time. You're a great teacher! Keep up the good work!
I've tried to break into hobby photography for years, I've have had many people try to explain the basics to me but they just wouldn't stick. This video made everything so bloody clear I have no idea how I found it so complicated for so long 😂
Thank you so much for this clear and concise introduction to photography! Very easy to understand and highly visual! You're a fantastic teacher Pat!
This was the best video i’ve came across as a beginner photographer!! THANK YOU PAT😭
As a beginner who's just bought their first camera, this is incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing. 👌🏼
This is the first time I have ever seen someone explain photography. Thank you for that
Best beginners tutorial of photography basics. Very nicely done.
I love this beginners guide series, I just found this video this morning and while I already knew most of this information I loved the way you broke it down and gave examples of all real life applications to what you were teaching; I'm excited to see where this series goes.
As a beginner to wildlife photography, thank you very much for this video
thank you so much! you just unlocked the photography aspects i've wondered about for a long time. awesome job mixing concise with thorough.
The best simple yet comprehensive video on these 3 settings I’ve seen! The questions & troubleshooting tips at the end were exactly what I needed. It really helped to hear your process as well. Looking to pick up my camera again 😄
I can't tell you how much this has helped me as a beginner. Everything was super clear thank you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. this is probably one of the most helpful ones i've watched so far!
Yes!!! Another series! I love how you breakdown and explain things. I thoroughly enjoy how you express and articulate your craft. Keep up the awesome work!
This is my kiddos mom. He uses my channel. I am a photographer. This is my first video I have seen of yours. I am trying to show my boy. You do a fantastic job teaching this! Saving
Great video, I’ve watched so many tutorials and always come away more confused but your video was clear and well explained.
Keep uploading ☺️
You are the first person who made sense of this for me I never really understood and now it's clear !
I've been shooting as a beginner for quite a while, I absolutely love ur vids since they help a lot
As someone just now starting to explore photography, I really appreciate you and your videos! I am learning a lot!
Total beginner here, and this was an excellent introduction. Thank you Pat
Thanks a ton Pat, your beginners guide was actually simple to understand as a non photographer.
This is such a helpful video. Thank you!
Best photography video I ever watched.
Recently I have a purchased a Canon R50 and I have watched many videos for learning the basics.
But no one have explained it so clearly like you did !!!
Subscribed and Liked ♥!!
Auto ISO in manual mode is the best thing since sliced bread. It allows you to focus only on shutter speed and aperture and forget about iso because it doesn't have any creative effect
Also if any of you are shooting digital then learn your preferred photo editing software's (Lightroom, Darktable, etc) capabilities inside out. It allows you to know the limits of your camera and what is possible to change in post. Especially de-noising, if you shoot a noisy image you might be not like it and delete it but a lot of times you find that the denoiser in your editor is more than capable of fixing it!
Good(hopefully free) editing software for beginners? Thanks
@@Moshua_Gerstein Darktable is really good and free, reminiscent of very old versions of paid Lightroom so don't expect a very smooth and clean interface but works well.
@@Moshua_Gerstein Darktable is good, the UI is a little dated and slow but has everything you need. Currently though I use Pixelmator Pro which is only like $20 one time purchase for life no subscription but its only on Macs.
This was an awesome refresher for me as I navigate learning the basics of filming my art practice. Up til now I have relied on using my IPhone but have recently purchased the Sony fx30 and Sony A74 so need to actually understand how to control these fabulous cameras! Just about to hit play on your next videos but wanted to say thankyou for dialling back the "asumed knowledge" whilst I learn the absolute basics.
Thank you! For an absolute beginner like me, this was simple and well understood.
This content was perfect for understanding the basics!
I need to write a few lines about photography basics in a story I work on.
At first I was worried you’re going way too much into depth and I may end up confused.
But everything was very clear and easy to understand.
Thanks for the great video.
Getting a photography camera for christmas! This video has hlped me so much, thanks!
Explained very nicely and clearly. Thanks.
Great video, as someone who recently got into photography this helps a lot‼️
I'm a new photographer and videographer and this video has helped me so much! Thank you.
I have never heard such a good explanation of photography! Thanks!😊
Thanks for sharing. I learned so much!
You are very easy to understand and I enjoy your video. Thanks
i am amazed.!!!!!thank you for not just teaching photography, but for inspiring a passion for capturing the world through a lens.❤❤
You were great!!!! At explaining everything! And at the best speed. Didn’t drag the video or had me replaying what you said.
Crash course for beginners. Thank you for the vedio! 😊
You are a great teacher! 🙏
Another incredible video! I love your teaching style, so clear and concise. It will take a while, but I'm saving up to take your fundamentals course.
Hopefully I can see you there one day!
I've watched a few videos / lessons on photography basics, I reckon your explanation is the best. You have a real gift, thank you for sharing it with us :)
I am sooo new to this world! I just bought my camera yesterday and your vids have calmed me down tremendously and help me understand a bit more of the journey I am about to go on. Thank you.
Love loved this video! ❤ I bought my first camera ever (a Ricoh gr iiix Urban Edition), and while I wait for it to arrive I’m trying to learn all I can. Just subscribed ☺️
you break this down so well
So good. As a beginner, i watched a lot of videos and yours so aesthetically pleasing and straight to the point. Gained a fan for sure
Such a simple and uncomplicated tutorial. 👏🏾👊🏾
Very helpful for getting started with manual setting
This is great. Thank you. Very informative
Thanks
This is so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for taking the time to do this!
This video is very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the channel!
Very good job in explaiining!
I'm a beginner and I feel like I understood it very quickly. No prancing around, I love it
Such a great video for people like me that are wanting to get into photography. You explain it so well and it is easy to understand. Thank you
as someone with a basic knowledge of iso, aperture and shutter speed through use of streaming and webcams this was VERY useful at connecting all the dots and knowing how it all comes together to create a better image. thank you.
I had the basic idea, your video acted like the educational glue I needed to see the beginning of a bigger picture. Thanks.
This was such a great video! I knew about these basic terms since the past decade, but today i truly understood how they actually make a difference. The examples and analogy provided after introducing each term is so helpful
I thank you sincerely
Thank you so much for this. You took time to demonstrate the concept of the exposure triangle. Thank you for the education.
Great job Man
Very simple, easy to digest and learn. Thank you.
This is a very well-explained video - especially as a refresher! Thank you.
Great video, you made it simple and easy to understand for beginners!!!
I am a beginner. Brand new. You did a great job explaining these functions to/for me. Thank you. You won't see me but I will be seeing more of you!
I've always had a love for film as well as photography. Im now at a point in life where i do not want to have any regrets, and im steeping out of my comfort zone and embarking on a new chapter into being a videograoher as my side gig to my main job. I always lived with regret and not pursuing my dreams right out of my high school . Instead i followed the norm of society and got a degree in which i dont even use. So its now or never.
Thank you for clearing all my doubts related to photography.
Perfect beginner video. I just got my first digital camera, and this video was incredibly useful. Thank you!
Beast!
I haven’t picked up my camera for a few years and I’ve forgotten everything! So thanks for this, its super helpful. I’ll be subscribing and watching your other videos 😊
Amazing introduction and very easy to understand! This is the first video I watched regarding the basics of the exposure triangle and I found it very helpful! Thanks a lot :)
Liked and subscribed! This was super helpful! Thank you 😊
Amazing video, I needed this, thank you.
Been wanting to take better pictures and I finally understand what all those settings on my xperia phone cam mean
You have such an amazing way of articulating the information and making it easy to digest, thanks for this video, it's so helpful!!!
This is so much value, keep it up! 😊
When thinking about ISO, it might be helpful to remember that, back in the day of analog photography, this used to be a factor you had, very little control over, because it wasn't a camera setting, but a property of the type of film you were using. So, once you had bought and inserted a film roll, your ISO was pretty much determined for the next 24-36 shots. The only settings to play around with then were your shutter speed and your aperture, and of course the lens you chose to use, if you were lucky enough to actually have much of a choice there.
As a beginner to wildlife photography, thank you very much for this video ❤
Awesome vid for a complete newbie - much appreciated!
Amazing 😍
Thank you for this video!!! You’re the best on UA-cam and I’m learning a lot with you 😊
Very clear description and great modeling!
You explained this so well! Thank you 🫶🏼
I'm just about to start off with digital photography and while I have had a family member explain iso and shutter speed to me, their explanation seemed really overwhelming and was a lot of information at once. This video has helped me immensely, and I'll be using the notes I took to try and perfect my shots over time! Obviously not expecting perfection the first time around.
In short, thank you!
Same, I’m starting at my middle school and have no experience lmao 😂
@@icedgrenz. Good luck to you and hopefully you get some good shots going!
Thank you very much for your video's. They are helping me so much to consolidate my ideas 🙏🏼
fantastic way of explaining the basics, thank you! very methodical!
Your videos are very helpful, Pat. Thank you!
Thank you very helpful to beginners . Now i just have to keep my memory working on it, and keep being brave and experiment with the functions. 👍
The best video I've seen on the topic. Excellent! :3 Thanks!
Appreciate this so much! You explained it simple enough for a newbie to understand.
Xin chao from Vietnam. Great, helpful information. Thank you, Pat. I am 29 and start to learn to become a photographer, believe it's not too late.
i usually never comment but this was genuinely a helpful video. thank you
Great educational video. Thank you
thanks, that was exactly the video I was looking for! simple and basic but very important

Thank you so much , you help me to understand how exactly it's work!
Bro this was 10/10 great job! Great job seriously!
