    Thank you!!! I have seen a lot of exposure triangle diagrams and read/watched a lot of articles on this subject. The diagram in this video is the first one I have seen that instantly makes sense, and your explanations are really clear. In 8 to 10 mins I was able to set my DLSR to manual focus and I actually understood what I was doing!

    I'm brand new to photography and this was so clearly explained, thank you - there is a minefield of information out there but most people speak way too quickly or deviate from the point. I will keep coming back to this video!

    This video is by far the easiest (for me) explained and understood talk on the exposure triangle. I can now with confidence, go out and use the calculator i have in my brain to easily capture photos without having to delete in camera the captures that did not come out correctly. And, finally I can get off just Aperature Priority.....Thank You.

  • @gisstudents1098
    @gisstudents1098 3 роки тому +6

    Thanks so much! This is the best explanation and diagram I have seen to understand the exposure triangle. And, for each one there is a tradeoff. Increasing or decreasing light is the goal. But, trade off for shutter is "motion blur" or lack thereof, ISO is grainy texture, and aperture changes "depth of field" creating blurry background (low F stop) or clear background (high F stop).

  • @johnkeepin7527
    @johnkeepin7527 4 місяці тому

    Well presented. I’ve never seen a triangle used to represent the relationship between the settings.
    The other device we can use is a neutral density filter, either all or nothing, or a variable one. Some cameras (like my old Canon G15) have one built in, or they can be bought separately and mounted on top of a lens, and can be rotated to adjust the density for the task in hand.
    These can allow a reasonable mix of the 3 factors in strong light, e.g. So if I’m shooting at twice the frame rate, and a sensible aperture, I often use a neutral density filter.

  • @jeffdawnMustang
    @jeffdawnMustang Рік тому +1

    I have been investigating film shooting, so I was confused about the ISO. Once the film is loaded, there is no changing of the ISO, it's the film sensitivity. So this explaination must be for digital photography. : )

    • @radbu1075
      @radbu1075 11 місяців тому

      Yeah, he should have specified that you can’t simply “change the ISO” with film. At least not in the middle of the roll!

      He just make things complicated when explained about shutter speed.. The concept is there but the explaination is terrible. Shutter speed is not about light coming in, its about how fast u can capture a moving object an make it look static. 😂.. however, we could praised him for his concept in his short explaination.
