    You are so right in your videos. You tell it like it is! If I may so graciously add Sir...
    I was on the SWAT team. Stabilization is ultra-important when getting a sight picture before engaging. You got this technique 90% right so far. If I may add a suggestion:
    Hold the camera in both hands. Extend your arms straight out, keeping at eye level. Shrug your shoulders very high. Touch them to your earlobes of you can. (Important!) Draw your arms in towards your chest. Your elbows should contact your rib-cage very high on the sides, when this happens, relax your shoulders. Don't let your elbows move down, hold their position.
    You feel weird doing this, but when you are done this series of moves, it will be a relaxing posture. You now have 4 points of contact (shutter/right hand, support hand, both elbows on your chest.) You will be able to hold this posture for a long time, much like I did with my entry gun and sniper rifle. We train to learn bone-on-bone support for extended periods of high-risk contact.
    If you would like a video explanation of this, please let me know. Your videos are in a class of very few that I subscribe to. I have no idea how you make a living off of TH-cam, but you should. It's a lot of work.
    Cheers and best of luck with your channel!

    3-breathing
    4-trigger squeeze

    • @mrsupermmm
      @mrsupermmm 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

      ISO is how bright the photo can come out to be just don't go too high, because it will start to become grainy. Aperture the F number is your depth of field basically the higher the number the more that will be in focus for example a F22 photo is most likely a landscape photo to capture everything in focus. A f2.8 is ideal for portrait photos to blur out the background well. Shutter speed is for the speed of your shutter lol so if you want to cpature something moving fast you may want your shutter speed number high for example shutter 500 for a car maybe and if you want to take portraits then a shutter at 1/60th of second can work for your portrait just don't move or your photo will be blurry hopefully this cleared some air for you :)

    Hey Peter! Everything you share is amazing! Thank you, really 😊 One question here, which setting of fps you choose when you're talking to the camera? Cause I've seen in a few other channels where youtubers hands movement is so fast and weird 😅 or it would depend on the shutter speed they chose? Thanks and big hugs from Mexico! ✌

    Camera strap is such a great thing. I use this technique for years and found it out myself exactly like you. It's super effective and I'm surprised that people find it wierd sometimes. Many guys just relies on tech and they just don' t think other way. I was very happy when you mentioned this. :)

    "Now this text tip is something that I've been doing for years. I haven't really seen anyone else do it, so I'm gonna go out on a limb and say it's original to me. Anyways, I came up with it myself. nIt's kind of ridiculous, but what I do is I learn forward, and then I just let myself go a little bit too far, so that I kind of fall for like one to two seconds then I put my foot out and I stop myself."
    Do you HONESTLY think came up with this technique so it's original to you? We all appreciate you sharing technique, we do. But to claim you're the first to do it is a FAR stretch. Let's call it the Peter McKinnon lean forward technique. Or let's call it the "I haven't seen anyone else talk about this so I'm going to claim it's mine so anytime someone does it I can claim the credit.". As much as we all love you and your videos, get over yourself. You didn't invent any technique that's been done a million times but other cinematographers. Do you think the movie industry started when you picked up a camera? I'm not meaning to go on a rant, but claiming it's technique and then trying to take credit for it. That took this to a dislike for misinformation. I expect you'll delete this, and if you do, I'll know you read it, which is my goal. I'm not claiming to be better than you, clearly I'm not, and you're clearly more motivated which is the only factor in success, but don't try to claim you invented a technique just because you haven't seen someone else share their secrets.

      You dont need to. If you watch popular vloggers they really dont have stable footage. Use IBIS if you have it or OIS in the lens.

    Another great way is to hold your breath during a shot, especially if the camera is up to your eye. Breathing introduces alot of camera shake so I have found out. Make sure the shot is not long though or you'll pass out, lol..
