Hello Casualy Explained
8 hours ago?
Ok, but I don't know Italian.
Nah
I genuinely believe casually explained just gets deep into a new niche hobby for a few months, resurfaces to share his findings, then submerges himself again
He goes deep undercover for research.
Next, Casually Explained: MMA please
it's the only explanation
He only posts here when he's out of recipe ideas.
Next episode is gonna be about competitive pogo sticking.
Bro is back from the dead to teach us how to take poorly lit photos of natural landscapes and our friends

I laughed. I cried. I considered a career change.

Please send your gear to my growing hoard. It will be much appreciated. :D
fucking lmfao the northrups in the comments
I'm ( dof at f/0.95) this close to selling my camera gear.
Oh damn, fancy seeing you guys here! lol 😅
The fact that he outsmarted a joke by making the dick joke not at Micro but at Wide Angle is so hilarious to me.
Subverted the shit out of my expectations
Not gonna lie. Every male had the same idea at that point in the video
That joke was genius btw
The old ones are the best!!
One of the biggest hurdles of a photographer's career is deciding when they can stop saying they're a bartender for a living, and when they can start saying they're just a disappointment.
Blue jay? I knew all the talented comedians in UA-cam know each other!
Ouch as a musician this one hit deep 😅
Honestly sounds like a C.E. line
9 out 10 stars
Omg bluejay! I love your channel
as a photographer, i cringed, shuddered, and almost cried at how accurate these stabs are... currently rethinking my life decisions. thank u mr. casual
What is your shudder speed set at?
@@bajablastard1405 what a comment lmfaooo
as a macro photographer I am desperately looking for any reason to put a bullet in my head... then I see a cool new insect and forget about how much money I've wasted

@@BeetleBuns Facts man. Every time I walk outside and see a cute bird, I get excited too take a photo like a kid being excited for his new toy.
"the best way to make money as a photographer is by selling your equipment" absolutely sent me 😂
As a pro-photog, that was hilarious.
I am busy selling my equipments. The level of disrespect from clients nowadays doesn't sit right with me. As it was said in this video, "Low budget, high expectations" is true. We many times face dozens of complains from clients of low budgets with unrealistic expectations.
i laughed, then looked over at my second monitor where i had a tab open looking at a new lens, then i frowned.
@@raynjpg hey don't worry bro, you should buy it. You'll make your money back eventually. And you can always just sell it 😉
@@craftmaster300 Oh, I'm gonna buy it. Currently, I only have a Sigma 56mm f/1.4 (sony a6400, so 85mm equivalent) and the two kit lenses that came with my camera. I'm not a fan of my kit lenses, and want something more versatile, so I'm looking at the Tamron 17-70mm f/2.8.
“This is because the camera they were using simply didn’t have enough dynamic range for the leds in the studio” this joke was peak comedy
I was searching for this comment!! Lmao
Same here 😂😂
LOL
He should have said "curtains" or something else dark.
LOOKIN FOR THIS BEFORE I CONTINUE ON

First the rock climbing, existentialism, and now photography? I've never felt so heard. Appreciate the content
Yo big thanks!
Literally the last 3 hobbies I've picked up x) I feel exposed. @@CasuallyExplained
It appears the real way to make money from photography is to make a video talking about how its hard to make money from photography
@@Tom-101that or tell people how to be better photographers. Nobody gives a shit about wildlife or landscape photography now that there's 8000 pictures of any mountain range on google. Personally I look at it as a (very) expensive hobby. Just looking at the cost of camera equipment is enough to dash most people's dreams of ever breaking even.
I second this! Content is on point
The accuracy is incredible on just about every point!
My first "money sent. thank." blew my mind. I felt guilty making 2x week's pay on one gig. Afterwards, the company's CEO wanted to add some different furniture and "do the whole thing again" because she loved the photos and videos and wanted them to be perfect. And so I went out and did exactly the same thing again and got paid twice. Commercial work has been much more of a focus now!
Baller man haha. I wish I could get into this scene with my photography. Living near LA tho is rough cause everyone is a "photographer". Kinda just need to know someone who knows someone
@@ScreamingTantrum Bro, you're one of those so called "photographers" in quotation marks yourself lol
@@WreckedRectum what are you trying to get at here? Lol I'm in reference to the people who think they're a photographer because they have the latest iPhone in their pocket that never leaves auto mode
That's true, the higher paying clients are actually less hustle
I never made more ungodly amounts of money in my life then when I did commercial work, truly a gold mine like being a drone pilot back in 2017
The pricing relationship is hilariously accurate. A lot of low-budget clients want to maximize their dollar, so they’ll ask for every discount, corner cut, and favor imaginable and give you hell when something is not meeting their expectations. Big budget clients have so much money to throw around that in many cases they don’t care. They hire and pay you to do the job so they literally don’t have to think about it. They don’t have time to micromanage you. There are obviously low budget clients with low budget expectations and high budget clients demanding the world of the product, but it’s impressive how many clients in the photo/video field have expectations inverse of their budget.
And it's for this reason you can also save a lot of stress by not underpricing yourself as a freelancer. Sure it's less commissions, but the clients are typically a lot nicer when you don't scrape the bottom of the barrel.
"The best way to make money in photography is by selling your equipment...." 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I screamed, but its so true!
that and the wide angle part. two of my favorite casually explained punchlines I can remember. this is a very good video
Should have got around to it before my frame crapped out.
Actually the best way to make money is only fan. If you're a guy you have to settle for wedding venues or celebrity paparazzi.
this and the jab at air canada got me
@@e3vL1plenty of guys have success of’s lmao. Its hot business rn
I’m convinced that the long gaps between uploads are because he takes up entire new hobbies/livelihoods for each individual video.
One day he'll find one to stick to as a career and just never return
6 months can easily be explained by an Air Canada flight connecting through Pearson.
Why do yall steal thesebcomments ur gettin paid from the likes 😂
When he talks about sim racing it's gonna hurt real good. He's been the perfectc roast to every hobby I've had.
@@iketurner_you seein this shjt?
“In basic economics, this push and pull is called ‘simping’” had me spitting out my Costco hot dog.
I want to say as a Brazilian that your channel is one of my biggest inspirations. No matter how long it takes to post, you always bring a smile to our faces!
é impressionante que ele some por meses e depois volta com um conteúdo extremamente específico sobre algum hobby kkkkkkkkkkkkkk
I'm sorry no disrespect but what does you being Brazilian have to do with anything here?
@@tcrmn i guess it's just to emphasize the broadness of his content
@@italoramos6596 I mean…UA-cam is an international platform. I don’t think many creators with any common sense would think only Americans are watching their videos lol.

Casually Explained is like a semi-absent father. Gone until we think he'll never come back, until he does to check how we're doing, and everything is great until he leaves again.
Edit: I hate people who edit their comments
He's just out on "business trips". 😂😅
I have never felt my feelings more clearly defined then when I read this comment.
So like shirleys husband?
He has to come back to check on us because other dad Sam O’Nella went off to the store to buy some cigarettes and milk to feed a monkey and hasn’t returned
Character development
As a photographer, this video perfectly captures the energy of "I want to shoot everyone including me, with a camera of course"
Or "in Minecraft"
@@spk1121 So funny bro I forgot to laugh
The reason I got into shooting people is so I wouldn't get shot all the time by someone else - with a camera of course
@@UhmActually.😂😂 Not funny 🤣🤣 didn't laugh 😆😆
@@UhmActually. shame you didn't forget to comment as well
As a freelancer, I have to say that freelancer paradox couldn't be more true. It boggles the mind how in many cases the more money they pay, the less demanding they are. The most demanding and obnoxious clients I ever had were low paid or worse yet, favors for (ex)friends...
Weirdly enough, volunteer jobs you do for free can go either direction. I've had gigs done as a favor where I could basically do anything I wanted because there was no money involved and therefore no expectations, and I've had volunteer gigs where I was basically a free worker and I was being told to either do stuff exactly as we want it or get the hell out.
Bro stop stealing my hobbies
Your comedic genius makes up for how long it takes you to post new videos😂😂😂
He can only post once the new material is in. With AI help, it should go much quicker from now on. My fellow human friend.
He’s pausing for comedic timing. Most jokes take 6 to 9 business months to mature

Somebody please put this on a T-Shirt.
He stole this from reddit tho
@@wayway7017 to be fair, 60-70% of the joke is the deadpan voice.
@@wayway7017yeah.... Fuck reddit
@@wayway7017 it's a common joke, much like "the two happiest days of a boat owner is the day they buy a boat and the day they sell it", but CE puts his spin on it and has a great delivery.
@@wayway7017the joke is one thing, but for it to be funny it needs ~delivery~
As a photographer I feel attacked yet laughed my ass off 😂
Same 😂😂😂
Fr lmao😂
as always, the comedy and wit is worth the wait
he finally ran out of money from the last video so he blessed us with yet another sponsorship 🙏🙏
I would want to be a millionaire if i had such a big audience
Bro's got some of the greatest jokes in the ad
"To see the LEDs in the studio" 😂😂😂 last thing I was ready for 😅
And so casually dropped in! Exquisite. 😂😂
As soon as he mentioned the moon landing I knew something was coming lol
Joke's on him - LED's were still highly experimental in 1969!
@@LiveFreeOrDieDH 🤣👍
@@LiveFreeOrDieDH from a touring theatrical director, the LED trick could had been accomplished the day the lightbulb was invented. Holes in a board painted black lit from behind without a hazer being present, will generate a star effect.. And yes thread the moon landing comment was subtle but the ones that know know.. ;)
You went all in on this photography hobby, and it shows. The framing and composition in this video are next level!
As a commercial photographer, the freelance paradox is so true and it's best to just avoid low budgets altogether
Dude definitely tried to be a pro photographer during his absence because this is way too accurate
"you can swap the lenses on these bad boys meaning you never have to worry about where to waste your next paycheck"
this hit me hard
Lmao. For real! The lens' cost more than the body. 😂
I wondered if he would make a "staged moon landing joke ". Didn't disappoint.
As a hobbyist photographer, this video is terrifying accurate. I took the "landscape photography" part a bit personally.
So, how was New-Zealand?
No please just dont tell me. I want to climb Mt Rapehu so bad... 😄
You forgot one type of photographers: Trainspotters
"You take a day off and travel a few hundred kilometers just to take a picture of a specific train, only for it to be ruined because a cloud blocked the sun at the exact wrong moment"
Same with astrophotography but longer distances
tbh shooting on cloudy days can be better than sunny ones!
Plane spotting as well
@@telmuun1221 No, plane spotters are more like "You spend $10,000 on this lens that is way too heavy to lift, to photograph the underside of a white cylinder that is exactly the same as every other white cylinder except for the numbers printed on the side."
This is insanely truthfully informative. Even the transition from photography to content creation. There's almost nothing that wasn't covered here!
Each video is perfectly planned out through months of deep thought and sketching. Beautiful
The part about the less money the higher the expectations is so true. First time I took a videography gig my client really pushed the limits of what he was getting for a few hundred bucks. Corporate clients are generally just trying to make as few choices as possible and pay you well in return.
Pro-tip: if you work in the arts find people who have money.
Wait, I'm writing this down: "Find. People. Who. Have. Moneyyyy".
Thanks!
@@seregruin thank
Pro tip: if you work, find people who have money
This is true af. I also find the higher commercial clients are willing to pay, the less I’m stressed solely about how good the work is but about meeting deadlines and client specifications. Also sales and marketing are just as if not maybe a little more important than how “good” you are. You obviously do need the skills though.
Corporate clients care about deadlines more than anything else. If you're able to deliver ahead of schedule, quality is secondary.
As someone living in Norway, I can confirm that being born here grants you a permanent photography buff
so happy you are making videos again, it's an instant watch if i see it pop up in my recommended
“The camera didn’t have enough range to see the LEDs in the studio”
I swear this guy leaves us for 6 months, and then comes back a seasoned professional on a random topic 😂
He really made that yearbook joke 💀 Glad to have you back
Bro let the intrusive thoughts win💀
Shots fired rip
I’m a hobbyist photographer and I love how perfectly timed this was
One of the very few channels I keep my notifications on. Loved the humor and everything, great job!
6:36 lmao, this joke took courage. respect.
Lol
Always a great day when CasuallyExplained uploads
Most original comment
*great year
Oh heck yeah, more casually explained!! Personally am way too into these vids, basically all of them. They even age super stupid well. Huge grin on seeing the updates, I'll never get sick of your humor, thanks for the content!
Dude the designs on the bedrooms, hair, etc were so awesome. So much attention to detail
I just came back from New Zealand, I was going through my pictures thinking "that's by far the best landscape photography I've ever made" (I usually do astrophotography). That landscape joke hit really hard, I guess New Zealand and Norway have the "fjord buff".
And if you can't afjord it, just be born there
@@Vinterloft You mean björn
@@wabbajack8283 Damn. Got me. Except Norway uses Ø not Ö (that's Sweden)
I love landscape photography but just about every place with a good scenery has been photographed ad nauseum. So why bother, just search it on the internet.
gotta put the landscapes of new zealand and astrophotography together and then you get something real nice
Photography is cool until you take a photo of yourself and realize how asymmetrical your face is
Man his videos are just so informative. Like the different exposure photos is just
"the joke of course being that you were flying Air Canada so you were never leaving the airport anyway" Absolutely accurate/brilliant! I laughed so hard.
As a photographer, ive been waiting for this day for so long
I honestly wanted to get into wildlife photography as a hobby. It's basically hunting, just with the risk of death being aimed more towards you than the animals.
Plus it's not considered weird to shoot the same animal many times over.
You also return home with a trophy that you could hang on your wall!
Plus nobody's going to complain that I'm invading their privacy like in street photography.
@@excalibro8365 I'm aware this might be controversial, but my approach to street photography is to first compose the photo, see where I want the person to fit in the photo, get the camera ready and wait for the subject to step in. That way I'm the one who's there first and if anything it's the person who's stepping into the photo.
The other completely opposite approach is to just shoot from the hip, takes practice but done right people won't even realize that you took a photo.
This one is harder to pull off (specially if you are introverted) but you can always approach the person and ask for their consent! I usually offer to share them the pic and ask them to write their email on my phone, and while they are busy writing I take another shot of them that's more candid.
And I always always lead any possible confrontation offering the person if they want me to delete the photo. Once I had a guy flipping me off in a photo, I told the guy that I'd be more than willing to delete the pic but instead the guy told me that he fully supported street artists and we ended up talking for a while and the guy was super nice!
Same. It's like Pokemon snap IRL 😅
As a photographer, i swear no truer words were spoken. Idek how he figured this level of detail out without being a photographer
Literally the best youtuber made ad ive ever seen at the end.
Casually Explained and Sam O’Nella are like the cool Uncles you see every Christmas who always bring the sickest presents.
this is so damn accurate lmao

Not gonna lie, you are the only youtuber i really jump off my chair whenever i see a new video pop up on my feed. Great content as usual! Love lots
4:24 couldn’t have agreed more.
I spent two years in college trying to build a photography career. Its painful how accurate this video is.
Trying? How did you fail
Man Im so happy you made it big dude
I found your channel yesterday and subscribed. Today, I finished watching every single video on your channel. Amazing!
You know it’s a good year when casually explains uploads
When Causally Explained posts, its a good year.
I have chronic pain and I was really having a bad day today. I forgot about my pain and laughed really hard for 10 minutes. You are a comedy genius!!!
Thank you so much for casually explaining photography!
5:10 "As you continue to tell your hobby to this uninterested bystander"
I CANNOT tell you how many times i bored people or how much they did not care when i geek out about what cameras i liked or photography
'All I need is a $1,000 and can like...be with her" 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is probably my favorite video you have done!
This is the best video i’ve seen in a long time
7:05 I never leave home as a photographer without my N64 expansion pack.
Either way 10/10 vid. Relatable. ANOTHER GOOD'N GG
Always on point
As a photographer that specializes in sports, concert, and portraits and trying to find work in sports...this is all entirely accurate and I need to find those corps that give a ton of money for mid work.
He hath returned! The videos are getting more nerdy and I love it.
I needed this. Thank you
"the lower the budget the higher the expectations" my man spitting truth bombs
Casually explained is like if your favorite teacher from middle school only showed up every few months to teach you about life... and then you find out he's not a real teacher.
This is one of your best videos, thanks! :)
There was one type of photography that you did miss, and it’s partial related to HDR photography (3:52), and that’s Astrophotography.
Often the equipment used can either be very similar or very different to HDR photography. Taking long exposure shots or Timelapse of the Milky Way can require the same basic camera on a tiny tracking tripod. Photographing nebula or galaxies though require first a telescope, a motorized EQ mount (or unmotorized with slow-no knobs), a camera designed to work with telescope eyepieces, color filters including infrared and h-alpha for nebula, a coma corrector if you’re using a reflector that is f/6 or lower, and you, late at night, having to deal with any bullshit that arises.
But astrophotographers is necessary to astronomy, as little light can be seen with the human eye or one short exposure shot. Often multiple long exposure shots are needed to be taken (not too long or heat noise appears in the image) then stacked and color corrected to create the final image. Moreover, you need clear, windless, and dark skies, hopefully in an area not to humid or frigid, or the telescope optics could be slightly damaged.
But it is worth it. It is super worth it.
Dude I feel like your videos are so much more in-depth than they used to be and have jokes based in actual research you've done. Quality is seriously off the charts.
Really appreciate Casual mastering all forms of photography to create this video for us. Truly a legend.
This really helped. Been into photography for some time and I’ve still got a lot to learn. Please do more🤣
I love that whenever you post you always end up on trending
The perfect example of the quiet kid that says the most true, honest, hilarious thing after a long silence.
as a portrait photographer i enjoyed the roasting, esp the yearbook part LMAO
Having used Opera for over two years now, I'm happy to see this ad. Opera does not disappoint!
These punchlines were great. So glad this was 10 minutes. Looking forward to the 30min version!
As someone who used to tip his toes into photography, this is extremely accurate.
So many lenses and so little money (both my own and also the commercial potential).
I think I lost my enjoyment of photography right around the time I had to use all of my acquired skills for my PhD to properly film my experiments. I got really good at manually focusing on moving~1mm objects within a couple of seconds using a 40mm or 50mm lens at the expense of actually enjoying using my camera.
Dip
Often happens when your hobby becomes a "job" or a "chore". That's why so many people advice against turning your hobby into your job. Which contradicts the other oft quoted advice of "follow your passion".
5:34 "First I'll delete the app, then I'll punch Mark Zuckerberg in the face" 😂
I'm really glad you're back
One of your best videos yet.
