Wow, just wow. Almost an hour with the best photography technique communicator. What a privilege it is to listen to Simon's expert discussion on this subject.
This presentation was awesome live. He is just as wholesome as you would hope. Keep being amazing Simon. You are the photography leader we didn't know we needed but now we definitely want.
just a small add on... if you have a very brightly colored subject, like a cock of the rock bird, which is very red, you can use the regular histogram to judge ETTR, but after taking the shot, you should also check the individual color histograms. sometimes, the combined histogram shows a proper exposure, but one of the colors (or 2) can be hitting the right side (overexposed). think bright red or yellow subjects.
Thanks Simon. I appreciate your channel because your style is technical and fast moving. It appeals to my engineer mind and I immediately saw the value in your content and have been a fan ever since.
Perfect timing… breaking in my recent purchase EF 100-400 L II tomorrow morning in the cold wet fog. Simon’s advice will definitely improve what I bring home.
Often the tripods with the centre stalk, the legs will flip over, so your camera is upside down if that makes sense. Like a billy pot over a camp fire.
I recently ran a test on my camera to get a better general idea of preferred settings. I had ISO set to auto but capped at a max of 1600. The test shot was of the rising moon between the branches of a tree during golden hour. Since nothing was moving I kept the shutter speed low and the iso at auto and only changed the aperture from lowest to highest settings. With the aperture really cranked the image was super noisy. Even though many of the shots had the ISO set by the camera at 1600 not all of them were noticably noisy.
Awesome video, Simon! Packed full of very helpful information. Really clears up the denoising for me. Also enjoyed the histogram information. Thank you very much!
Hey sir, Can you let me know what kit is better for W ?The Canon EOS R1/R5ii with either the rf L 100-500/200-800 or the Nikon Z8+Z pf 800mm f6.3?Thanks.
I'm more a street/tourist photograph, but I really like watching your videos. We learn a lot from you. Now that I don't fear of having some high ISO photos, I won't have a blurring subject in my photos. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
Was there for the webinar, happy to rewatch again! Thanks for all of your great content, it really helps me get out of my comfort zone sometimes. Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas Simon, as always when watching your video’s I learn how to be better when out in the field. All the best too you and the family, wishing you good health and a prosperous New Year. Brian
Superb thank Simon Wishing you and yours a great holiday season and looking forward to amazing photo opportunities in 2025, and a massive thank you for all the tips and advice on 2024, made such a difference,
Hi Simon, I learned something new today about different types of Noise. Great explanation and thanks for showing examples. Happy holidays, thanks Simon. 😊
Whoa what an amazing video and valuable. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. What are your thoughts on the standard LR denoise feature? Sorry if you covered this on the video and I happened to miss it. Thanks again!
Simon, I have a Sony a6400 and a a7III and I use than both with my Tamron 150-500 f/ 5-6.7. My Question is: Is it better to use my crop sensor in order to have more reach (and a full 24 mp photo) or to use my full frame and crop the image on post? Thank you for the amazing content, and I hope to see you soon here in the Brazilian rainforest 🇧🇷
Great video! Thanks a lot. You didn't mention anything about focal length. Does focal length have any impact on how many photons we collect? Thanks again.
That was a great hour of information. You are a great teacher and I look forward to your weekly videos. If I could ask a question..... I would like to improve my low light photography by buying an older full frame camera. I presently own a R7 used primarily with a RF100-400 tele. I love this setup most of the time, especially in good light, but it's a bit wanting when I shoot owls and such at dawn and dusk. Would a used Canon RP ( or perhaps a 6Dii) be a good spend of money or are the sensors more or less equal in low light? I'm thinking the newer crop sensor is pretty much equal to the older full frame in terms of low light performance. . A faster tele is of course *the* answer, albeit the much more expensive. .
R5 with the RF 100-500 7.1 shooter. Struggle a lot with low light in the AM. Sometime I pull back to about 420 mm to get to 5.6. I guess I’m wondering if that makes a difference, and how much more light I’m really getting?
It's like all of your videos comressed into one. Great! Question: At which aperture is the 24-70 2.8 RF at its sharpest? Can you give an estimate, Simon? It would really help. Thanks 😊
This may sound silly, but have you ever damaged a lens by putting too much pressure on the end of the lens? I don't have much experience with long lenses, but applying pressure on the end of a lens with a fulcrum in the middle sounds risky. I may be as reluctant as I am because I use 100~400 zoom. I can see where there might be less concern with a fixed focal length lens.
I do not think that I understand. The noise that you talk about seems to consist of a fairly uniform darker area filled with lighter dots. These lighter dots seem to all have the same brightness, or close to it. The darker background seems to have a fairly uniform darkness too. These two uniformities seem at odds with the idea of random fluxations in the number of photons hitting pixels. I'm confused.
Noise? I was seeing noise. They forced me to shoot at iso 12800, iso makes noise. Noise? I was seeing noise. They forced me to shoot at iso 12800, iso makes noise. Noise? I was seeing noise. They forced me to shoot at iso 12800, iso makes noise. Noise?
It's all fine well ..but no point if the camera isn't great in low light conditions no matter how you've set the camera up .... ie Canon 850D / 90D Is poor where'as 5DSR excels And i have 3 Cameras ...it's not worth the grief using any camera that isn't great nor built for low light
I'm so glad I don't hang out too long in online spaces - I've never heard that shooting above 100 ISO is a crime, but even if I had I would think this is just someone trying to brag about their kit or the amount of gear they can afford. It's like someone saying you shouldn't drive anything other than a Lamborghini - they are just bragging about what they drive.
1st things 1st, thank you for this very informative video, which summs the topic up in large detail. What I meant about the acronym was a bit different (yes, acronyms often mean something that has its own established menanimg, but in this case it can be easily found, why it is considered false etymology). With kind regards and appreciation for your videos.

Awesome. Almost an entire hour with Simon!
I cannot believe we get to watch this without paying a premium for such amazing content. Thank you Simon!

Happy holidays Simon. Love from South Africa 🇿🇦
Excellent, Simon - as usual! Happy Hollidays 😊
Jan, DK
Hi Simon! Haven't heard from you in a minute. Nice upload to get good results using what I have!
Excellent! I just became a lifetime member of JWOP for only $200!
It took me a while to notice that there was a small webcam in the upper right corner. 😂 Great video!
It's basically a crush course reminding us of all we have learned in Simon's videos, plus some new tips. Very good.
28:04 that guy definitely needs a flash 😅😅
Thank you! Wonderfull.
Great video. Merry Christmas my freind, have a great 2025. Love your channel.

Appreciate the presentation, always such a nice and simple explanation:)
Happy holidays!
Merry Christmas and Happy New year! I was waiting for this new Vlog!!! :) :)

how does one have questions when you explain it so well, just like all your great video's!!
Merry Christmas and happy new year to you and your family have u ever made any video about how to get all birds in focus?
Yes I have

the new LR one, the AI one, is pretty good, just a but slow.

Any chance of chapters so we can get to the information we need. And dip in/out of this episode as a useful reference tool?

LONG FORM CONTENT ON UA-cam 🤯🤯🤯🤔
Your channel is an example of what quality content on UA-cam should be. Thank you for your hard work and effort!👄🐵⌚️
Wow, thank you!
@@simon_dentremont simon, you know that is a bot account right?
Great stuff. Would dual base ISO cameras benefit from shooting photos in low light? for example high base ISO of Sony A7s3 is 12800

You’ll get 2/3rds of a stop, so cuts your iso almost in half.
I needed a go video after a giant fail this morning. Sharpness is my issue😒

Thanks for debunking the large pixel myth. Needs to be done more. 👍
Nice video. Audio is horrendous unfortunately.
ISO stands for International Organization for Standardization, not the ancient greek prefix, afaik.
the description I gave is from the organization itself
