Subscribed! Thanks for the content mate. Q, using the rule, if you are outdoors on a sunny day, how would you set the f, if you want to take portraits, using a say 50mm? As it's sunny using the rule is should be set at f16, but I would like to get the blurry effect? In this instance, wouldn't it be have to be setto say f1.8 - f2.2? And make the changes to the iso and shutter speed? Thanks.

Really really useful. Very practical explanation. Not seen this anywhere else. Thank you so much. More please!

Nice, I’m watching from Northern Spain, I’ve just loaded HP5 into my M6 for the weekend it’s nice to have your great images as a reference and motivation. Keep up the good work.

I come back to this from time to time. Really nicely explained.

So my vintage camera 50mm lenses are F2 and F2.8 to F16, but the fastest shutter speed I have on the Synchro Compur shutters is 1:500th and you have to set the speed first before cocking the shutter, (Diax Ib and IIb and a IIa). So would ISO 400 be the most sensitive film I could reliably shoot with? Could I shoot with ISO 800 with an F stop range which only goes up to F16?

I heard about this years ago, but never actually was able to grasp it. I’m getting back into my photography - as a artist expression and find this idea (video) will help me (like you said “not take too much time to check all these 3 areas of a shot). Very helpful. Thank you

Thank you, excellent tutorial! 👍🏽

Superb easy and well explained

This is literally the best explanation I’ve seen. Right to the point and all facts. No hidden information at all either!

Greatness... Thank you... Does Sunny 16 apply to indoors as well?

superb, clear communication. Extremely helpful. Thank you.

Thank you for the great video, it was very helpful!

Thank you! This was very informative and helpful.

Awesome man!

Great video and love your photos! The noir theme really comes through in your photos.

It is one of the best video I have seen on Leica M10 on you tube. Thank you. I am passionate about learning photography. I have xpro2, I love range finders but xpro2 has all Apparture shutter and ISO auto and auto focusing. Do you suggest if I can buy Leica M10. Is it a good camera to learn photography if someone can affort it? I am scared if I would not able to take good pictures from Leica specifically of my kids running around or moving object on street photography.

This was very helpful. I tested this out the other day and I’m waiting for my film to return at the moment. I live in Louisiana but it was an overcast day. So I kept the Aperture at f5.6 but I kept getting confused by the shutter speed but for the most part I think I did it correctly. Now is there a method with shooting at night or indoors with no light meter or flash?

Have come back to this three times. 10/10 quality video. This is extremely valuable for someone trying to learn!!

super helpful thanks man

50mm is the best focal for me ... u have good compresion u dont have extremely weird look of ur photos and is versatile... portraints street reportage and even some of details(if u have lens with close focusing distance) ur photos are awesome !!!

If Leica knew what's what, they'd remanufacture the parts needed to fix light meters etc in ALL their prior metered models. People are obviously more than willing to pay for servicing. And a BIG reason for buying into Leica is the camera-for-life ethos. It would do Leica's reputation for service & reliability the world of good. Leica basically has the film rangefinder market cornered so it should comprehensively service all of their film cameras regardless of age and/or function. Film shooters are waiting for this. And before the naysayers start in with the usual excuses about money/sourcing materials etc., let me point out that relatively small startups are manufacturing and selling 3D printed light meters (and they work!) so if complete newcomers can do it.... History doesn't remember the companies that said they COULDN'T do X, Y or Z; it's the companies that figured out how to fulfill a demand that we celebrate today.

Another oldie getting back into analogue photography. Had a disappointing set of negs from a recent trip out. Wish I had seen this sooner. Will go out and try again. Thanks for an informative video.

What I love about this video is the fast pace of delivering great information. Not a wasted second. Love it. Great video!!!

11:45 try taking it in a busy station like the HongQiao high speed rail station during national holidays. With a slow shutter it would seem like ten thousand people are waiting on ten thousand people, while 50 thousand people are on their way to look for another 50 thousand people.

Dude why don’t you share the shutter speed, apature and iso in each pic? It helps us amateurs. You have already told us that it’s in 50mm so showing that doesn’t really teach us anything… thanks!

So for example, if I use Kodak Gold 200, I would expose one stop more to begin with, so 1/100. When I want to use f/2 instead of f/16, I expose 1/6400 instead of 1/100... (6 stops of light more than f/16)

Thank you for explaining the reciprocity of the three different factors. But we can't see the aperture settings at the end of the video, because you blended in thumbnails of other videos, could you please position them elsewhere?

That’s a great video.

so long. explain that in 2 minuts.. please

Great Video! Great shots. Very informative. Some of these shots look like film type of photos. Very cool!

I usually use a 35mm lens but I am very curious to play with a 50mm. Love that you're talking through your process and showing us the pics your didn't think worked. I also liked the GC shot and the man in the hat as well.

You present a lot of your work in B+W, which is stunning, but I was wondering why you didn't choose a dedicated monochrom?

Hey man! Loved the video, you're amazing. I have a question: If I want to overexpose my film, should I also change my Shutter Speed? For example: - Film: 200 - ISO: 100 - Shutter Speed: Still 200/250 or should I also put it on 1/100th of a second? Thank you so much!

In Leica M…A - is for aperture ,,,not for automatic

Good video. With the Leica M11P , 60 MP when I shoot with my Summilux 50mm f1,4 , i must shoot at minimum 1/250 secs. And I have to be very stable at this shutter speed. The ideal without risk is 500 to 750 . The more pixels you got , the more risk to have motion blur in your images.

This is the best video explanation I’ve seen, thank you !!

hiii thank you for this!! if shooting film with flash, can i apply this sunny16 rules?

Also love high contrast pictures

Thanks for this explanation. I may have obliterated my first two rolls of 120 400😅😅. I will try this out and ETTR if in doubt.

Getting back to B&W film photography with vintage cameras after 50 years. This was extremely helpful and I can't wait to go out and try Sunny 16 formula. I want to shoot manually and stop relying on automation. Makes it more challenging and interesting. Wish the film was the same cost as the 70's though.

This is the first explanation I've actually understood. Thank you!!

For me it Paris…. Rome is beautiful. I got my most steps in a day “every” in Rome. Your video is great. The boy kicking the boy is fantastic.

Ryan Do you give in - person lessons

Very well done video. Thank you

Congrats for this video and your channel! What about if I'm in full manual mode (I choose my ISO, shutter speed and aperture)? I guess it doesn't matter which light metering mode you choose (spot, evaluative etc...). Am I right? I've done some tests, and the metering mode makes no difference when I'm in full manual.Could you confirm (or not...) please ? Regards.

This gave me a flashback to Pershing Square - my favourite spot in NYC. 2024: year of the 50mm 🙂

Great video and images . Would have been nice if you told us what shutter speeds you used

The best explanation I’ve seen. Thank you
