Hello Mark! When you were doing the light trails, what makes the starburst look on the lights on the side? Is this a special lens or what. Thanks so much and I'm enjoying you course.
I've just started out with phototherapy using a Sony a6400 and I find your tutorials the most valuable on TH-cam so far. Well explained, good use of examples, you show the camera settings with each example as well and speak in a nice calm manner, sticking to the topics at hand with just the right amount of explanation. Thanks for all your hard work and videos!

My go-to photographer, really. I not only enjoy these tutorials but they're also in chapters - which makes them much more engaging. Light and shadow can transform a photograph giving it colour and character, and I'm now pointed towards using the highest possible F-Stop number. The thing with photography is that it's a long journey of discovery; we are always learning. Thanks for your time and trouble, I guess it's about time I finally subscribed.
Yesterday I stumbled into your channel Mark and I must say, I'll never leave you anymore. The way you explain things are so easy to understand - things I've been struggling with the last 2 years, since I started this beautiful hobby. Your calm voice does the rest. Keep up your fantastic work. A forever-fan from the Netherlands 🙂

Thank you for the wonderful lesson . I was in San Miguel a couple of weeks ago when I found your channel . I was able to use some of your lesson to get a new perspective on my photography skills. My family has studied art in San Miguel since the late 1960's. Painting mostly . Thank you again ! We used to have a house on Quebrada i believe the bridge you're on at the end ! Gracious
I enjoy listening to your brief, to the point explanations of your camera tricks. I have been using it but always learn/relearn and i truly enjoy your well paced tone and explanation, Thank you. What i would really like to learn is how to use the Lightroom - not the classic one. Again thank you.
Every videos i watch i learn somthing new out of it n keeps inspiring to watch more and practice more abt photography though im not by profession. Beautiful!! n thanks alot for sharing your knowledge of photography skills.

I'm jazzed! A pro-photographer who sees merit in the rule of thirds. When I started more than 35 years ago, I purchased a how-to book in which the instructor taught not only how to employ this age-old and tried technique, he explained in depth the reasons, including eye movement of people viewing images. I'm staggered today that this technique is so little known and how many people come along and potty-mouth it. Since "everyone" else likes to mention Ansel Adams, I will too. The rule of thirds is all over his landscapes, picture after picture. Never mind his comment about "no rules." People abuse that statement, make it a license for, well, I'll be nice. Anyway, having shot countless images for more than 3.5 decades, I have found the rule of thirds to be as lovely as Carribean sunsets. Not everything has to be full-frame or center-spotted. That can be very boring, no matter how much other aspects are mind-bogglingly fantastic. IMO, expert use of Lightroom, PS, etc and thousands of dollars worth of gear just cannot equal the rule of thirds. I can count now, on snarky returns from people who only think they know better. Photographers may make lots of money without the rule of thirds. It's sad that's their measure for quality. Thank you. I will subscribe.
just today i found ur channel.. wathched lot of ur videos .. still watching... very helpful.. very detailed... found out and learned many things.. i subsribed immedately. only thing is that i dont hv a camera, i take photos with my phone. I just love to capture moments. thanks
Great! I'm a cheap-camera, point-and-shoot amateur, but I'm always interested in better techniques with low-tech. I found at least four of your five techniques useful. Thanks.
Many of the techniques that you mention are also used on film photography. It is very easy to use a medium format camera for the exposure settings as they are better equipped for it.
Best tip: be playful. don't be hesitant and experiment...even if you take 100 photos but only keep 30, you'll have a good chance of having several winners in that bunch! Also while DSLRs are amazing tools, the smaller the camera, the easier it is to use; a good high-end point-and-shoot is all you really need.
Thank you, Angela! Great to hear you're enjoying the videos. :) There’s plenty more to learn on the Digital Camera Mastery course, here’s the link to join - photpro.to/dcm-r

so you live in San Miguel de Allende I recognize it been there several times. can you do some architecture because I know that place is perfect for colonial architecture photos and add some land scape
For the car streak light effects at the end of the video did you manually set the shutter speed or was it an automatic adjustment by the camera since you used a lower iso and higher aperture number. Thank you for the videos. You are an excellent instructor.
By settings the aperture at a very high f-stop and using a low ISO, this automatically forces the camera to use a very low shutter speed. It also ensures that the resulting photo comes out with the correct exposure. I hope this helps :) If you're interested in learning more, check out our Digital Camera Mastery course here: photpro.to/dcm-a
At 3:20 into the video, photographing the door knob - isn't this the XF 50-140mm? Doesn't match the picture's added description with focal length of "18mm [28mm]", does it?
When shooting a lower person or object how do I get a good picture, at 79 and lower back problems I cannot get down anymore, In fact I can't even get out to get photos right now is there a way I can do this. I'm feeling better I can sit long and was wondering can I start the classes again it's been a long time. Thank you for sharing these short videos.
Great video but really stupid question regarding the light trails. You mentioned the shutter could be open for “X” amount of time, to close it would you press the shutter again... how does the camera know when to stop capturing the light?
Another trick I learned, sometimes it's best to zoom all the way in, focus on the farthest away object, then zoom out to capture what you originally wanted, everything will be in focus.
@@FlatWaterFilms Then he was more "old" than "pro". What he might have taught you was how to focus on the "hyperfocal distance" (I'm giving him a LOT of "benefit of the doubt".) If that was the case, you misunderstood him and have grossly misapplied the technique. Regardless, acquiring additional depth of field has nothing whatsoever to do with "zooming in and out" which, if anything, will throw your plane of focus off from where you intended it to be.

I'm feeling better I can sit long and was wondering can I start the classes again it's been a long time. Thank you for sharing these short videos.
Hi Sue, you can use a tripod to get low perspectives. It is easy to set up and can get you sharp results! :)
Great video but really stupid question regarding the light trails.
You mentioned the shutter could be open for “X” amount of time, to close it would you press the shutter again... how does the camera know when to stop capturing the light?
The camera will set the shutter speed and it will close the shutter after it's done taking the photo.
You’re a good teacher thank you sorry some poster here knows it all
Even better for bracing and better for your neck, strap over left shoulder and under right e]arm. Bracing like that gives a triangulate effect.
I noticed that you had a longer lens or were they a combination, for the open lens portion?
Another trick I learned, sometimes it's best to zoom all the way in, focus on the farthest away object, then zoom out to capture what you originally wanted, everything will be in focus.
Better read that chapter again.
@@davidkachel An old pro taught me that one. Just another trick to use.
@@FlatWaterFilms Then he was more "old" than "pro". What he might have taught you was how to focus on the "hyperfocal distance" (I'm giving him a LOT of "benefit of the doubt".)

Regardless, acquiring additional depth of field has nothing whatsoever to do with "zooming in and out" which, if anything, will throw your plane of focus off from where you intended it to be.
@@davidkachel Have a nice day.
In light trails we could use ND filter and some lower F-stop to avoid "star effect" on static lights from street lamps?
An ND filter will not remove the star effect from your photos. You may want to try a pro-mist filter to achieve that.
