    She's making some really smart questions, she's really learning not being there just to be a cute face
    Good job teaching and good job learning

    Very enjoyable and educational as well, those two together make a winner!! Marisa seems like such a nice person.....you too Daniel

    Great fun and educational, Daniel. Really like the idea of showing Roper the ropes. Marisa is very engaged and asks good questions.

  • @mt-nv4jd

    This is a very fine approach to demonstrating the science of photography. I tend to go to sleep during lectures. Marisa is a smart lady. And easy on the eyes.

    I like the fact that you include Marisa, she's used to photoshoot but with a learner point of view. First time I see that on a training video and I found it very educational. Better then some questions ask on a chat during live show that are most of the time ether too basic or just funny comments. Here I see someone learning from a pro and I really enjoy that. You're a very great trainer Daniel...and photographer! Sylvain from Montréal.

    Histograms are marginally useful, more confusing than helpful, just not worth the trouble..... love you guys !!

  • @WolfQuantum
    @WolfQuantum 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Really appreciate that you gave Marisa do things hands on. It is often difficult when teaching someone to not show them first with a "Watch me." Having the student actually doing the steps helps them to actually learn it. And teaches the teacher patience. :D Marisa is awesome as usual. Attentive, quick to learn, and asks good questions when she has them. Nice teamwork. Also the first time I've ever been the first comment. That and $6 might get me a coffee at Starbucks if I don't get carried away with the extras.

    Great series, Daniel. It's great having Marissa as the photographer because she asks the questions I have, as a novice. Relevant questions.

  • @MikeJamesMedia
    @MikeJamesMedia 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Interesting. Marisa asks questions that any new photographer might ask, (like the "left/right" question on the histogram) and she seems to be learning fast. Carry on!

  • @dpratte
    @dpratte 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Daniel, would love to see a video covering significant technology trends. Where is everything going, and when? What's exciting? What's not? Love your stuff. Marisa and you are a good team.

  • @karanore

    I'm loving this! Marisa's questions are on point! She's a great surrogate for the audience.

  • @danbrowning2418
    @danbrowning2418 3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Once Marisa understands the basics it will be interesting to see how you guide her to find her own path. Trips to the museum? Books by photographers she likes? Then I'd like to see her explore her own world with the camera. Actors, family, etc.

  • @jasperdegrood
    @jasperdegrood 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks this is a great series! I love the dynamics between Marisa and Daniel. Only that is all ready a great example of a good working relation, and than there is the technical stuff! Marisa has a great future in all the arts!

  • @mikew1332
    @mikew1332 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I remember trying to understand how a histogram worked. Marisa had some great questions.

  • @250GTOAJ
    @250GTOAJ 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have never used histograms and I am amazed by the number of new digital only photographers use them all the time and seem to be lost without them. It will be interesting to see how Marisa progresses with the acquisition of more of your knowledge. She is doing well so far and her experience in front of the camera will be.a help. Thanks Marisa and Daniel

  • @micronet67
    @micronet67 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    awesome! I'm learning from watching this series. Keep them coming.

  • @Thereal111t
    @Thereal111t 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I like this series. You can use the histogram on the camera just as well as the tether software. What suck for canon users at least is that they make the edges of the histogram so hard to see as it blends in with the rest of the display. On the old 30d the histogram was blue on a black background so it was a lot easier to see the edges and therefore the relationship of the black and white spike to the edges. Understanding what end of the histogram is up is critical to interpret the exposure and set the exposure correctly. It was cool to see Marisa ask that question.

  • @HenkBakker
    @HenkBakker 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I love these series. And especially the questions Marisa is asking. Sometimes you take things for granted and just look over these things. Keep them going. They really help me. The only thing now is to get over my studio fear. for some reason my self esteem in the studio is lost.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thank you. Well I recommend some studio sessions with a subject you are very comfortable with the way you feel less pressure.

  • @brad_in_yyc

  • @michaelhull1813
    @michaelhull1813 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Not sure about everyone else, but this was the best explanation of the histogram a beginner needs.
    Especially the part where you don't worship them. 😆
    I'm not sure of suggestions, I tune in and gleen gold nuggets of wisdom on the regular.

  • @jennyyipcy
    @jennyyipcy 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hi Daniel, Excellent series. Thank you so much to the both of you. Really enjoy this content.

  • @chrisjohnston964
    @chrisjohnston964 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Love your teaching style! So easy to follow. And teaching Marisa also helps because she asks the questions most of us beginners need answers to. I shoot full length fashion photography on mannequins using continuous COB lights. Could you do a video on which light meter is best for that scenario? Most light meter tutorials deal with flash photography only. I need to know what light meter features I would need for continuous lights. Thanks!

  • @mikedoiron3372
    @mikedoiron3372 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I've been taking pictures for over 50 years and I always enjoy watching you both working together, however this series is knocking it out of the park. I like seeing models transition to the other side of the camera. They normally bring some interesting insight. Keep at it Marisa. Always picking up some neat tips from you Daniel. Look forward to the next video in this series.

  • @davecarrera
    @davecarrera 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great explanation Daniel. For me histogram is a useful "guide" but like you my eye has the last say . I wish you and yours well.

  • @ShaneBaker
    @ShaneBaker 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think this is an excellent series, and I just hope the people who need to see them, see them.
    As to where to go from here, it's a bit hard without knowing what's already in the can, but shutter speed in different situations and DoF seem obvious suggestions.
    If you want to open a difficult can of worms, at a later date you could devote 3 minutes to each of the effects of levels, contrast and clarity. You've already looked at the Exposure slider and WB.
    All the best.

  • @mycall1949
    @mycall1949 3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    Thanks Daniel, could you do a video on additive and subtractive fill lighting with the use of black or white poster board or reflectors. I really enjoy the team work between you and Marisa. You both have great personalities.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      As yes, fill we will cover, after we get a few lighting things down - the lights come out next session

  • @Leondrian
    @Leondrian 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Hey Daniel and Marisa!
    I really enjoy seeing this series. Great to hear different people explaining these things.
    I'd like to see you explain how to build an easy setup for head shots, half body and full body maybe even environmental portrait. Where are the kinks for example. Thank you for a great show.

  • @NH4Ukraine2
    @NH4Ukraine2 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great series, so far, Daniel. I’ve got a good amount of experience with lights and lighting, but I watch anyway. The interaction between the two of you is great. And it never hurts to hear the basics again.

    The best explanation of histogram yet. I like where this is going.

  • @stephenreed7769
    @stephenreed7769 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    A great series idea, you both work so well together and this makes the learning experience for us viewers even stronger 👏 It would be useful if the series could take what’s being taught outdoors using natural light as well as indoors and possibly introducing basic flash. But whatever direction you go, thanks for the content both (and Dave btw if he’s working in the background) 👍

  • @N.Eutered
    @N.Eutered 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    It's definitely a fun series you guys got going, takes me back to my school days 😊 Now that you have mostly covered the exposure triangle, maybe you could teach her some more about the relationship between white balance and exposure regarding colour reproduction; Don't know if can make an entire episode about that, but you could add in a mixed lighting scenario - something like selecting the "right" WB, when the subjects back or right side is in 5500K and the subjects front or left side is in 3000K.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good ideas - probably a bit “advanced” for now, I want to get her shooting as quickly as possible - but I will file that idea for future videos

  • @davidhawkshaw4542
    @davidhawkshaw4542 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Thanks for this Daniel . This is a great way of conveying the knowledge and underpinning science. Marissa is asking the questions the viewer wants to ask and that adds to the value of the video. I stumbled across your series, looking for stuff about light meters for cinematography . Brilliant format! No hype just two genuine people and both of you learning during the process, she as mentee, you as mentor.

  • @robertnicklas655
    @robertnicklas655 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    They say you learn something new every day. I've had Capture One for 3 years for my own personal use (I am the professional photographer for our family reunions), and you showed me that cropping in on the gray card of the image shows the histogram ( sorry Marisa...herstogram) in a much better way. Love the mentoring videos. The two of you make a great team. How about a mentoring video on Exposure Triangle. Again, keep up the good work.

  • @mattigrafikboi_gametwo

    @lescobrandon3047 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good video. I photographed a snow covered service station scene and just spot-metered off the wooden door after trying other ideas.
    Histogram vs Hertogram? Lol! Reminds me of the years ago Seattle change of MANhole cover to PERSONhole cover. It was dropped when it caused lots of laughs. Some say that animal owners were involved and wanted BEINGhole covers.

  • @tuliozeron6774
    @tuliozeron6774 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    One of the most relaxed histogram explanation, maybe I could suggest exploring the sunny 16 rule, and a bit of composition, go on friends, you're doing great

  • @alexanderpons9246
    @alexanderpons9246 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I think this format is great for many who may want to get into Photography coming from a Camera Phone. I have encounter people who are very into the Histogram while at the same time there are many who are not. Daniel Norton may I suggest to make a video making the very best use of the camera's Pop-up flash, I think with your knowledge and experience you will be able to show us how to use it best?

    • @blo1974
      @blo1974 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      The best use of the on camera flash is to put tape over it:)

  • @JamesBrownPhotographics
    @JamesBrownPhotographics 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    FWIW, depending on the lens and how close you focus on your subject, exposure will change. Best not to refocus if you move the camera real close to get the exposure.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Umm, no. Correct exposure is correct exposure. I suppose it’s possible to affect the exposure by getting close (blocking light, wearing dark or light clothing) but exposure itself does not change.

  • @Sportserjeff

    @jjbs58 ปีที่แล้ว

    You Daniel are an excellent instructor and Marisa is an excellent student. HOWEVER all thru this vid no one mentioned nor asked about what the camera light meter was set at. I know keeping up with Marisa . . . is challenging... -bounce bounce ---;) and you usually tell us about your camera, but the settings are important. Also - since you always have been using a static subject / model... why a zoom lens why not a simple inexpensive 50mm...? Most folks you are makin these for,...dont have or can afford expensive gear , . . . so why not use easy to get gear,,...after all your controlling all the light and the ISO, aper and shutter are generic set ... great vids....thanx!

  • @andyvan5692
    @andyvan5692 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    great video, one suggestion, as you (Daniel) photograph melissa alot (inc. the Adorama TV and Prophoto channel tutorials/webinars) , would be nice to have her photograph male models, or product shots/still life, which will compliment the people genres that you are shooting on this channel.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Good idea! I am having Marisa chose her subjects, so I will let her know there is interest

  • @techmasters4653
    @techmasters4653 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    If you’re just starting out shooting portraits and have Lightroom, do you think investing in capture one would be worth it for the ease of your workflow? Also, how about a episode teaching Marisa how to position lights and flash for different effects.

  • @markmackay2006

  • @slade-runner6773
    @slade-runner6773 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    This was really helpful, I've always been kind of baffled by histograms.
    Suggestion: how about an episode on good framing habits. How do you help yourself from getting too tight or too big of a shot? Where do you usually try to place your subjects in different style shoots?

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Thanks! That’s the kind of thing I want to let her discover on her own at first.

  • @MrBratius
    @MrBratius 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    I would like to see the same type of video as this only clearly explaining compression in a shot whether you are using a 50mm lens or say a 70-200mm lens and how close to the subject you are.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

    @witcheater 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Is it a muscle memory that one learns over time? Sure, in the olden days I just might have a not-so-good photo, but what got you and I and so many others to see not to do that not-so-good photo too much ever again? Is the histogram a crutch... or, is it a tool that one will eventually dispense of? And this comment knows of the effects of one's style and styling that can be imposed in the capture or in post. Really, this series could go on for a very long time. Be that as that is, the explanations were good for the questions (and for purposefully staying clear of too much too soon) 👍

  • @TonySkraba
    @TonySkraba 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Now I need to figure out why moving the camera doesn't change exposure. (Not disagreeing here , but asking ...) why does the inverse square law not apply? (Ie. Doubling distance from Shelia to camera. ... it doesnt quarter the light (2 stop) change exposure.) Uhm...

  • @chriskapcia1715
    @chriskapcia1715 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    What if I’m using my strobe and my histogram never seems to be indicating a correct exposure? It’s always shadow heavy to the left. I’m metered correctly. But, when I load the raw into LR the exposure is fine 🧐 Am I missing something?? Thanks in advance!

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If the histogram in LR looks good, but not the one on the camera that seems odd - they should match. Keep in mind the histogram is looking at the entire scene me so if the scene is dark/light you will have extreme looking Histograms even if the subject looks correct

  • @gewglesux

    @charleyl264 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Good basic training. It should help many to understand this. Will Marissa become a future assistant? She seems to be a fast learner. Much prettier than Seth. Sorry Seth, but it's true.

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe I’ll have her help out on a shoot - To clarify, while Seth helps me out, we are colleagues, he’s not my assistant- he’s a VERY accomplished photographer.

  • @phynx2006
    @phynx2006 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    Great stuff, now I have to go, for some reason I have a craving for Burritos 🌯🌯. Is there any reason to use a color checker today with digital cameras and editing software, can't you just correct for color in Photoshop or Capture One?🤔 lets face it, those color checker targets are not cheap! 🤑

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If you want accurate color yes they are useful, if you just want it to look “good” nope.

  • @JerryMac1125
    @JerryMac1125 3 ปีที่แล้ว

    • @DanielNortonPhotographer
      @DanielNortonPhotographer  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I find most photographer do not use the histogram, but it’s always sitting there, staring at you. So I figure best to get it out of the way LOL

    NO, the model is UNDER exposed, because she is in her "birthday suit"!!, and nice job marissa, great to see you behind the camera, even though Daniel makes you look beautiful through the lens:-) PS: is this the EVIL marissa or the good one? ( from the flash videos [B1X] and multi-exposure flash repeating mode)

    Don't tell me Marisa is an Alabama fan??? LOL Teach Marisa about on camera flash and off camera flash. Too many photographers starting out are afraid of using their flash.
