Thank you for watching! These photography videos are usually directed at beginner photographers. Take the photography tips and tricks with a grain of salt and try to understand the tips from a beginner photographer's point of view.
Try: 1/100 shutter or faster 1/200
WB: Kelvin 3400-4000, test it.
ISO: test from 800-10,000
Use bright Lenses F1.4, F1.8, F2.8
Focus: single point, single shot
or multiple point, continuous - test.
Compose for subject or geometry
Simplify to B&W to ease composition
Compose to fill frame, no crop.
Raw for best results.
Tripod: if used, ISO at native 64, 100, 200, whichever low is for dynamic range, unless moving subject - raise ISO to raise Shutter speed.
Bring batteries & back-up Card, Dress warmly & be safe.
Do you know how to set how long your exposure lasts?
I really do not recommend auto white balance, it will make all your shots look inconsistent from the shoot, just pick a white balance for the day, or change it manually for the situation if needed, but if you shoot in raw you can fix it in post no problem
No,please dont use auto white balance at dark situations . Especially when shooting stars/aurora . Camera dosnt see anything at dark .
So what do you set it at?
@@renenavarro4121 It very much depends on situation.
For example,im shooting "Aurora" with WB3000
Whitebalance matters nothing if you shoot RAW only.
You can fully correct it afterwards.
@@RedmilesShark yes sure you can. but it will be pain in the ass to correct multiple shots. especially if it comes to timelapses.
@@Sander_Hollo
You can easily fix that by copying the whitebalance. For timelapses and panoramas I'd be more worried about the exposure. E.g. Needing to use exposure lock.
When shooting in black and white you can raise the iso above 6400 and it will still look good. Color noise is ewwww, grain is sexy. But keep in mind that your dynamic range suffers the higher the iso.
Im using apsc, lens 25mm x 1.5 is 37.5 in full frame. shutter speed would be 1/40 to 1/50? Right?
Does this shutter speed setting varies for apsc camera?
Depends on what you mean. Shutter speed itself is a setting that means the exact same thing on every camera, but if you are talking about the rule he mentioned, then yeah it's a bit different. On an aps-c camera, your focal length is 1.5 or 1.6 times (depends on the camera brand) what your lens says, because of the smaller sensor. So a 50mm lens is actually 75mm, which you should take into a count when following that rule.
I don't agree. Newer camera sensors and lenses have great stabilization, so i can go up to 0.8 seconds of exposure.
I would love to see you do that...
@@Csongor_Radai I already did do that
Its a rule of thumb bub.
@@krane15outdated tho, back in the day there was no camera stabilisation
Does the flash have to be on my camera won’t focus to take a picture
Night photography is ambient light. Flash photography is something different. Flash can be used day or night. Or to turn day into night. Some photographers specialize in each. Night photography and Flash photography. And many others.
Wouldn’t that rule for focal length and shutter speed be completely wrong? Please enlighten me if I’m wrong, but the longer the focal length, the less light enters, meaning you need to compensate with a longer shutter. But by making the shutter speed 1/focal length, you are doing the opposite.
Ex.
You wouldn’t go from 1/100s @ 100mm to 1/500s @ 500mm, as then you are decreasing the amount of light in the focal length, and then instead of supplying more light with a longer shutter, you are decreasing the amount of light EVEN FURTHER by having an even quicker shutter than before. Am I missing something?
You're not wrong but he's mentioning the general rule of preventing camera shake from handholding. i.e., 50mm @ 1/50 second, 100mm @ 1/100 second and so on. Some people say to double that to 50mm @ 1/100, which isn't a bad rule unless you're really steady
What if we don’t want sharp and crispy?
then watch a different video lmao
Just buy a postcard
then shake it up while taking photos with 1/5 shutter speed imao
Then you don't go to school or need this video. Who doesn't want sharp photos? If you want to be creative, that's why post-processing exists.
@@krane15 because lighting and composition are what make a photo, not sharpness. Lots of photos from photographic masters are quite soft but have great impact and are of huge cultural significance.
My ISO only goes to 800😂
Bruh what camera do you have
@@boudou04 Canon EOS 1000D
@@Therealflremakes ah I see. Good luck. I got a camera recently and trying to improve with it.
Look on the bright side, you never have to worry about going to bright
@@Jadon-44 true, but its hard to get cool pictures at nighttime😂
hand held maybe but not on a tripod
1/60? Wouldn’t that be impossible to maintain a sharp image?
If you can't take sharp photos at 1/60, there might be something wrong with your hands...
You should be relatively steady at 1/60 depending on focal length. You can always say 1/2x focal length if you need, but work on it, there's room for improvement.
Impossible things are happening every day.
Helped out IMMENSELY! Thank you so much bro.
Do you use your flash also and are your Lens on MF or CF? I can only take pictures of that setting with it on MF.
So here's what I learned:
In video, shutter speed is twice your frame rate
In photo, your shutter speed is 1/(focal length)
Got it
The 1/focal length is a pretty arbitrary rule. If you have a stabilised lens or camera you can get much lower than 1/focal length and have sharp photos and it also depends on how stable your hands are. And there are situations where 1/focal length would still give you blurry photos because the subject is moving, like in wildlife or sports photography.
What is a focal length?
@@user-tj1xi5op1mmm of the lens (eg.: if you are using a 35mm, you will use 1/35).
Wouldn’t that be completely wrong? The longer the focal length, the less light enters, meaning you need to compensate with a longer shutter. But by making the shutter speed 1/focal length, you are doing the opposite.
Ex.
You wouldn’t go from 1/100s @ 100mm to 1/500s @ 500mm, as then you are decreasing the amount of light in the focal length, and then instead of supplying more light with a longer shutter, you are decreasing the amount of light EVEN FURTHER by having an even quicker shutter than before. Am I missing something?
@@Siduch. you won’t get less light with a longer focal length. A 400mm f2.8 will be just as bright as a 50mm f2.8
This rule mostly applies to handheld shooting. It’s because at a much larger magnification camera shake will be way more noticeable so you have to compensate with a faster shutter speed. If you have lens stabilisation and/or IBIS you can use a lower shutter speed as the camera compensates for some of the camera shake.
I never push my ISO over 3600
F1.8 if you need some blur effect, but if it is landscape, I think its F8 or F11. If F1.8, then the time value is okay on 1 or 2. But if F8-F11, shutter should be more that 2 to let more light in. I stay my ISO on 100 or 200 to make the image stay sharp.
Why not use all area focus with evaluative metering with wide open aperture to get max light and all area focus to avoid too much bokeh
how you find yourself photoshoot landscape at night?
@@ClefordBiongan Landscape means Streets and the nature at night 😄😄 except portraits
😂
Stupid question maybe - do you mean that when your focal length is 16 you set your shutterspeed to 16?
It’s a pretty arbitrary rule. If you have a stabilised lens or camera you can get much lower than 1/focal length. It also depends on how stable your hands are.
1/16. Also, have to factor in crop factor. Say a apsc has a 1.5-1.6 crop factor. So a 50mm on a nikon D7100 is 75mm so 1/75. For canon d70 is 80mm so 1/80. Though its mostly for handheld.
audo
Has limits. This is one of them.
Haha my camera doesent even go above 6400
ISO is not what adds noise to your images… so use whatever ISO is needed
Bro what?
Its the primary element in nigh photography.
Don’t lock in to one tote of settings explore man, learn how to take each photo different
Rule-of-thumb. Look that up.
