I am new into photography, got a nice starter camera which is a Canon eos 1100d. I am planning on doing Portrait photo's of family and friends and I hope your guide will help me out. Thank you for making it accessible for people.
I wish you luck on your photography journey! I hope my guide helps you. Let me know your thoughts and if you found anything confusing so I can clarify it with you personally :)
Regarding the chart at 00:16 changing the ISO instead of the shutter speed to expose properly isnt what you should be doing most of the time. Shutter speed should only stay untouched if you need the right amount of motion blur or none of it(Panning shots of cars with blurred out background, Long Exposure) depending on the situation. When you shoot landscape, portraits, etc. Shutterspeed should be changed in order to get the correct exposure. Since upping your ISO has pretty much the most noticeable effect on an image since you are "digitally" changing the censors sensitivity to light. Its often based on the situation you are in. Cant really tell people what they need to be doing in general when its often heavily dependant on the situation and what you are shooting and what is important to you.
I see what you mean but the guide was for portrait photographers so I’m only referring to taking portraits of people. If you want less exposure, you turndown the iso before turning down the shutter speed. I agree with you, but again, I’m talking specifically portrait photography :) Thank you for watching!!
From an hobbyist event/wildlife/streetphotography standpoint I would say changing the shutter speed isn't always good option either. In these cases (shooting from the hip, fast moving subjects etc.) upping the ISO is perfectly valid. But in portrait or landscape especially with a tripod I would always prefer a longer exposure time. So it comes back to your style of portraiture work: Model holding poses very well and using a tripod, slow the shutter speed. But often enough (looks like Joe is doing some very dynamic portraits) you want to catch the moment and upping the ISO to freeze the movement of e.g. hair or that one genuine smile seems reasonable for me. ISO 1600 or even higher shouldn't be a problem with modern full frame cameras, fast lenses, Lightroom and AI noise reduction.
Smart habits are fantastic, but just pushing yourself constantly works fine until it REALLY doesn’t.
Well hopefully you never burn out :)
