I'm literally a rookie. Got my D7000 as a first camera yesterday. This was the first video I really understood and got som good pictures after watching it. It should be the first video every beginner should see! Thank you 👍
I've spent the last week or so explaining camera basics to a friend getting into photography, this video will be the perfect follow up and is even better than the original version on this channel that I learned from back in the day. Thanks!
Hey guys! No video has been so singularly and instantly game-changing in my understanding of cameras and how that applies to my streaming/videos. After watching this, I went back to my set up and changed settings following your advice, which immediately improved my video quality and consistency (no more weird tonal shifts cuz the camera was auto-adjusting to whatever colour of light was shining from my monitor onto my face!). I cannot thank you enough! ^_^
Watching this video is somewhat surreal. One of the first photography vids I ever watched was the original exposure triangle vid by T&C. Now, about three years and many, many T&C videos later, I am watching a video about something I already (mostly) understand. Thanks T&C, glad I found ya'll when I was just getting started.
@@MrDischner these older design cameras are little elephants, today's mirrorless full frame sensor cameras are same dimensions, you probably got a sweat deal on it though, looks durable too, & selfie screeen, have fun with it, learn, btw check cameradecision website for future COMPARISONS/decisions
I EXTREMELY appreciate the way you guys explain things. I was having a difficult time understanding how to control a camera until you came along. So I THANK YOU!
The triangle of photography. Very basic, with a very clear and good explanation. The way you did it, everyone should understand it. Great video. You are very good in complementing each other.
This is the best explanation for the exposure triangle. I was confused about this and never set it correctly. Now, I really know my setup mistake. Thank you so much!
Thank to this couple, when i was lerning and confuse other were not very edutcative but Tony & Chelsea Northrup help me understand simple things which other has made very complicating. i wish to meet and shoot with them one day. love you two so much.
Thanks you two for showing true examples and explaining in a good way. I have followed you both for years and you never fail to enlighten me. A big THANK YOU
I'm sure someone will say iso not part of exposure so no triangle exists and iso is only gain. I'm waiting and already smiling. This tutorial is very helpfull to start understanding. After that you can learn ETTR... exposure vs iso
I understood your teaching so I keep watching only your videos and I spend more time photographing and less time learning. If getting back into it, I would watch this channel!!!!
Great video, nothing new to many of us, however, for a beginner this explains the exposure triangle exceedingly well in a short time. I have been in classes that took an hour to do this and it was not done as clearly and concisely as it was in this video. Two thumbs up, a video I will refer some of my beginner friends too.
Great vid.! I shared it with a few friends who are just getting into photography during all this. It's aways great to back to the basics. Well done & stay safe & healthy. Thank you !
Hi, I am trying to get better at photography too & know some good channels like Manny Ortiz & Jason Lanier, do you know some other useful channels like Tony & Chelsea? thank you
What a great video! I've trained people to run video cameras and it took a long time to get exposure manipulation across to them. If I was going thru that again I would just show them this video. So much in just 10 minutes! Thanks!
Very nice clear explanation of one of the fundamentals of photography. Though I am not to to this venue, I appreciate the refresher. Thanks for putting it so clearly.
This is what I love about you two! Your Zany, Crazy, Goofy, Silly, yet all ways creatively informative. Consider another video on how to shoot a dark subject against a dark back ground. And then a lighter subject against a bright back ground. Provide for us tips on how to achieve subject/background separation. Of course with the same zany antics as in this video. Looking forward to vewing it.
Thank you so much. Very well explained. The basics and all the explanation is very well demonstrated and this has helped Amateurs like me to a great extent. I have subscribed to your channel so that I don't miss out on your wonderful videos. I wish you both the very best. Thank you.
Tony, I discovered your videos and I am learning so much about photography, I want to but your Digitall photography book. Right now on quarantine here in miami beach I am watching the Pentax history, I want to purchase the K-70. Very informative. Keep up the good work!
Great tips, Chelsea and Tony. So glad I found you guys here. Bought a few of your books and learning a lot. I grew up in the film age of photography and have been using digital for quite some time. Always looking to learn new things. Thank you!
Thank you both for starting to update the old videos it looks so much better and the examples were great. please do all the other ones. you guys have more time on ur hands now so get to it. 😂
I like how you guys mimick the bad amateur photos when doing this basics-explaining video. It makes sence, since most newcomers to manual photography will probably have the same quality of images.
You guys THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH 🏆📸❤️ I love how you guys explain to us about the cameras 🎥 you thought me A LOT 💯 I subscribed and I am glad I did because you guys taught me a lot about cameras 📷 I thought photography was just taking photos (well I know it is) but I just thought 💭 u take one photo and that’s it. But thanks 😊 A LOT💝
I know all this, but I still default to low ISO + wide open apertures + and the shutter speed to make it all work. This was a helpful reminder that ISO can be pushed, that shutter speeds can be increased + that aperture doesn't always have to be wide open. Great video. I'll watch it a few more times.
Hi Tony, I am Using a Sony A7 R5, FW release : 2.01 With a Sony mirror less Lens 55mm F1.8 FW release 2.0. Please let me know if I am doing something wrong or my expectations with Sony are misplaced. First my Camera Settings: - Focus mode = Continuous Focus, Focus Area = Wide, Focus , Human+Face Detection = Enabled, Exposure=Multi, Face Priority in multi = ON, Spot metering point= Focus point Linked. Shutter= 1/125, Aperture= 1.8, ISO=Auto 100 to Max. Here is the scenario. Subject is placed to one side (not in centre) The Center is brighter than Face of the subject. Imagine a person near a window. My expectation : The face will be properly exposed since exposure is Face priority and spot metering point is focus point linked and Focus point is linked to face detection. Actual Result : Focus is perfect but the exposure is metered from centre. Question : Are my settings wrong or is my camera faulty or does Sony not work as I expect. Many thanks
Wouldn't you say I.S.O. considering it's an acronym for International Organization for Standardization? I know it doesn't really mean anything in the digital world; however, in the film days no matter where you are a 400 role of film is the same in America as it is in Australia.....although they have different systems of measurement. Just saying....😉 I do love the vids though! I really enjoyed this layout. I don't believe I've seen anyone else putting this type of work into an instructional video. Loved it! Definitely kept my attention! You guys are great! I'm still trying to get use to the goatee, Tony! 🤷♂️✌🤪
I already bought most of your program, via pdf. Just have to dedicate more time. Tough being an over the road truck driver on a constant fast and on time schedule.
i love the fraction analogy. I always forget these because in ISO a bigger number means more light in the picture but in shutter speed and aperture it's the lower numbers that are associated with more light.
nice! XD ok ok i'll comply with the free subscription! thank for the explanation, finally some clear explaining, as a newbie photographer this is amazing!
If you don't already have a video explaining the inverse square law I would highly suggest one. It is amazing the number of people who don't understand light with photography.
Great video! I think it might have been worthwhile to mention high ISO = High Noise, but that does introduce a lot of other topics, which would mean a longer video.
I've watched you for so long, you two seem like family. I know these things and I even try to help other people with them. So I watched the whole video, great by the way. Maybe I can lead some rookies to this (and other) videos. I laughed at Chelsea running politely to show the book. And the book is well worth the money. Thanks again!
Great video Tony and Chelsea! The only thing I would've added is explaining how grainy pictures get with a higher ISO and so you should always strive for the lowest native setting if possible (ISO 100 on Canon and Sony, ISO 64 on Nikon, etc.) A beginner may leave this video thinking they can increase ISO without any drawbacks.
I debated going into those details (we even recorded it, but I cut it out in editing). The issue is that high ISO really doesn't cause noise; low-light causes noise. High ISO is just brightening the picture so it's properly exposed in low-light conditions. People misunderstand this and try to use low ISOs even in low light, causing underexposed pictures with the same amount of noise. We cover this in other videos; it's a separate and more advanced topic.
Finally I found a video that explains all of the manual A, SS and ISO. Thank you so much! Saving this video!

great point, I need to remember to experiment with custom white balance, keep using it on auto 😣 too convenient
Don’t go anywhere else to learn photography, Tony & Chelsea are the absolute best at teaching it.
Yeah.. You are absolutely right!

Now, about three years and many, many T&C videos later, I am watching a video about something I already (mostly) understand. Thanks T&C, glad I found ya'll when I was just getting started.
Thanks for such a clear explanation of the exposure triangle. I love the fact that you "Show, Don't Tell." You clearly demonstrate everything.
Just got a DSLR camera and know nothing about it. This video helped tremendously
which dslr?
mirrorlessNY Nikon D5100. I have a 50mm manual lense and one other I can’t remember what it’s called

Oh my God, this was so simple to understand! I had almost given up, but I will pick up my D5500 and start learning again 😄. Thank you ❤️🙏

You guys are the best photo teachers on youtube..👍👍
The panic and confusion on Chelsea's face at 8:03 when Tony threw over his head the lens cap is so funny.
😂

Hi, I am trying to get better at photography too & know some good channels like Manny Ortiz & Jason Lanier, do you know some other useful channels like Tony & Chelsea? thank you
Finally a video explaining simple tasks for beginners with their camera ...Great job !! I might buy your book ,,,,,:))))
This video looked great and was clear, concise, and not weird at all riiiiiiiiiight up until the last 20 seconds
It's always good to keep the basics fresh. Bravo Team Northrup!
What a great video! I've trained people to run video cameras and it took a long time to get exposure manipulation across to them. If I was going thru that again I would just show them this video. So much in just 10 minutes! Thanks!
Well Done, Team Northrup!
These are the kind of videos that made me a subscriber and a better photographer.
We all have a lot to learn, bring it on!
Thank you for being available to teach!
I love it. I like the way you explain with showing live picture.. Grateful
I really like that you guys are going back to the classics!
Amazingly helpful guides and examples with the technical numbers on screen 💜
Thanks for the informative video. Stay safe in the current climate and best wishes from Scotland.

Hows it going in Miami? warm 80s ?
warning: watching that fan may cause seizure. Great video. Like that you sampled settings in different environments rather than just sticking to one.
Very nicely done. Great examples using increments that clearly show the results of different settings.
Whaaat was that at the end!!! You two are just awesome!!! :D
A nice refresher!! Thank you Tony & Chelsea!
Fantastic, I always struggle with this stuff, and I love what Chelsea said about listening to your camera. Thank you.
same here, decided to use AUTO for photography until I learn more
Great video! You guys clearly explain and illustrate all subject matter in this video. Than you guys!
Wow! Spot on . Succinct and clear explanation, and perfect for visual learners.
Great video for any kind of beginner great work you all!!
Oh my word; thanks for all of these exact settings!!! Much needed.
Thank you, years ago I had started learning from your channel a lot. sharing your video to my friend is always better than i teach my friends.
so simple when you put it like this! Thank you for a lovely explanation of all this "stuff!"
It’s fun to see tony throw the lens cap 😍
OMG, best camera tutorial so far. Cut to the chase and everything is clear. Thanks a lot. Best wish to both of you 🤗
thank you for a great video. it helps me a lot. the more I watch your video the more I learn
Superb demonstration of this concept so far. Thanks.
Thank you so much for taking the time to post this beautiful video:)....it helps me so much for a beginner.

Hi Tony,
I am Using a Sony A7 R5, FW release : 2.01 With a Sony mirror less Lens 55mm F1.8 FW release 2.0.

Many thanks
J'aime toujours autant votre travail ! Good job!
It's so refreshing to hear people say ISO correctly instead of eye-ess-oh.
It's so refreshing that people aren't trying to correct me into saying eye-ess-oh! I guess stuff can change. :D
Wouldn't you say I.S.O. considering it's an acronym for International Organization for Standardization?

Cheyenne Wilson It's not an acronym. It's the nickname of the company pronounced "eye-so" If it was an acronym then it would be IOS.
who cares
executive You obviously do because you replied. 😉
Have an r7. Just finding out about all these words. I hope at some point it makes sense. Thank you for these vids.
HAHAHA . Love Chelsea's squinting eyes when Tony says: "If you're a math nerd like me" at 6'22" loooolllll.
You know you love that blurry background tony, Bless you Both....great vid love you guys
This guide is awesome . Thank you.
Excellent!You could not have made it simpler!
I already bought most of your program, via pdf. Just have to dedicate more time. Tough being an over the road truck driver on a constant fast and on time schedule.
i love the fraction analogy. I always forget these because in ISO a bigger number means more light in the picture but in shutter speed and aperture it's the lower numbers that are associated with more light.
It's not an analogy
Those numbers are actually in fraction scale
They are fractions

At the beginning I thought y'all were on a green! Well done!
Wow... Thank you for the lesson, it helps a lot.
You tell it so good. Very easy to follow along.
Glad you think so!
Excellent video for beginners...
BIG THANK YOU GUYS 🙂
Great video! I think it might have been worthwhile to mention high ISO = High Noise, but that does introduce a lot of other topics, which would mean a longer video.
So well-explained. Thank you.
Very helpful video. It’s gets confusing so thanks for clarifying.
How good is the lighting in this video?! It looks so sharp and chrisp compared to other videos :)

Glorious ton-eh there!
"F2.8, F4 - Nice and low F Stop numbers." Pffff, for some peeps. T Northrup be needin' F 1.2 or bust. Chelsea looks so much happier at 1.8
Thanks great refresher/tutorial📷👍
Thank you for doing something productive and with value again. Because making GAS videos and rumor rants are not.

What a great tutorial. Thanks!
Please thank you soo much for the explanation but please can you teach us what the histogram does and how to use it?
Your videos are great, thank you!
