This was an awesome recap of the exposure triangle. Love the simplicity, love the example, and it was under 10 minutes!?👏! 10/10 Sir! Also, that transition to your promo on with Square Space was smoothly done 👍.
Great video for beginners! Just the right amount of detail to help them understand but not overwhelm them. Will be showing this to a friend looking to get into photography.
I was going to send this vid to my students but the terms you use are way off. Shutter speeds aren't higher and lower, they're faster and slower. Apertures aren't higher or lower, they're larger or smaller. (BTW- it's similar to your pupil, not your iris. Iris size doesn't change). Raising the ISO doesn't let in more light, it makes the camera more light sensitive- like OG film ASA. Grain is not the same as noise. Sometimes similar visually, but very different technically. New camera users- especially those considering going pro, need to know the right terms and how a camera works.
At first I thought this was a bit pedantic, but after reading it all, I actually entirely agree. Using slightly incorrect terminology will still get the shoot done, but if you’re teaching people, you should be as semantically accurate as possible.
Honestly, Just discovered this on my own while fidgeting with my camera. Then I saw your (this) vid. This was what I needed to know/learn, Thanks, John!
Hey @John Branch IV Photography, just wanted to extend a thank you to you for your helpful content. I recently helped a family member out with some fall pics that I wasn't too fond of. My focus was off on most pics, but to be fair, we were working with some harsh natural lighting, and hyper kids running around lol. I'm studying more on Exposure, AF modes, and Metering Modes within my cameras settings to better understand how to properly expose my shots, and your videos have been very helpful. From the get, I've always shot in Manual mode. Currently, I'm working with an entry level Canon Rebel DSLR, kit lens, nifty 50mm, and a wide angle lens to learn the basics before dumping money into a proper mirrorless setup.
lol. The Squarespace exposure was a thing of beauty. 😂 I'm glad you enjoyed that explanation. I can't wait to cover this topic more at an actual session.
i´m So happy to have a Sony A7s.... Okay.. it´s still Mark one, but the Lowlight-performance is extraordinaire! i can set it to ISO 50´000 by an´ aperture of f1,8 and nothing.. and i say NOTHING is grainy! Guaranteed! Okay... 12 Megapixels may is not enough for some wedding photographer. But honestly: The resolution is high enough ;-)
So as an eg say I’m taking a studio portrait with the flash on and the subject is staying still would that then be anything above 1 / 125 and anything above F7 for a sharp still image and then I can have ISO at 100 because of studio flash. Is it that way of thinking?
@@jbivphotography I have been watching you for the past year now. Your videos have definitely helped me come a long ways from photography all the way to setting up my business. Thank you bro!
Sir, Fujifilm XT200 ,Sony a6100 Lumix G85, Canon 200d Mark ii or Canon M50 which will be better for a beginner to start wedding photography or there is any other options is available in this price range. Can you please tell your opinion.
Hey John , will you do a video on the X100v ? Also was wondering if you would do a video on your mobile photo printer , it seems interesting and was interested in adding it to my kit.
Great video and explanation! With video so clear, I still wonder why I suck so much at using manual settings, maybe because I am a generalist and I am still not sure what kind of style I want to obtain, and I mess things around all the time :(
Love the video even tho i've known what you said 😜 I'm fuji shooter and i have to say that the grain from x-trans sensor is really kinda nice. It reminds me of film cameras grain so it isn't that annoying as e.g. Canon grain. Can't wait for next video! BTW somethin weird is going on with audio in this video. Didn't hear it in others, but here something whistles while you're talking. Sounds little bit like crickets, maybe something with audo post prod? Just saying, still love your content !
Hey John, I know this HAS NOTHING to do with exposure triangle lol but I was looking through your older vids but couldn't find the info. Does Photo Mechanic work on iPads???
I do always shoot in M. I find it easier to control what I'm getting in camera so I get exactly what I want while I'm shooting rather than depending on the camera for it.
@@jbivphotography I find I usually only use M for flash photography when I’m doing portraits, but I have been struggling with developing my “look”. Maybe I’ll need to experiment in not letting my camera call all the shots. Thank you for being such an inspiration!
Little correction: higher iso does not mean more light. The amount of light hitting the sensor stays the same but the signal (including the noise) gets boosted. Increasing the iso has basically the same effect on your image as brightening it up afterwards in photoshop. The only ways to control the amount of actual light hitting the sensor are aperture and shutter speed.
Correct. Thank you for adding that explanation. I tend to explain things from a very layman's terms so while you're not "actually getting more light" it does make your photos bright. Trying to keep it simple for folks to understand. Then when they're learnt on the subject they can start getting more advanced.
It’s true. However I feel a lot of photographers (when starting) end up making more mistakes because they’re trying to be at base ISO all of the time for a “perfect” photo rather than just doing what is necessary for a correct exposure.
I'd HIGHLY dissagree. Mainly because there's multiple ways to get a "correct" exposure however the artistic differences can very HIGHLY. I could use my meter and it looks right but my ISO is at 80000 so my photo because extremley grainy. Or my shutter could be at 1/2 and my photo would be totally blurry. But the meter would be right regardless. Understanding the artistic side and attributes of the exposure triangle is something EVERY photographer needs to know/understand.
Bro You must be a good photographer but taking Iso as your base thing makes no sense.. setting aperture and Shutter speed .. are the base thing . With respect with type of photography ... Sports photography is A game of Shutter speed . Capturing a car at 100km/s the shutter. Speed go upto 1/1000ss where you need to boost the Iso.. I am not agree with you .. but well this is your .. procedure ..
This comment is arguing semantics. Obviously depending on the type of photography you're shooting effects which setting matters most. In sports you need higher shutter speed. However, you can still start with your ISO. If you know your shutter speed needs to be higher you can probably assume the ISO is also going to be higher unless it's super bright outside. How you go about finding the settings literally makes no difference. It's more about understanding what each part of your settings effects in your image.

Glad it helped!

short, simple, yet super educational. thanks a lot for the video man ! you earned a subscriber
Thanks for the sub!
66 year old newbie here w a Fuji xs10. Thanks, that was very helpful
Great video, really like the comments on how you build your exposure.
Also bonus points for the smooth squarespace exposure transition

Looking forward to that future on-site video about exposure ! As always a lot to learn from your videos, thanks!
I love your videos! Thank you for the great info. I’ve seen other videos and yours made a lot more sense to me. Loved the examples too!
Hay great job bro,it's really exciting to learn from an expert and excellent photographer..and finally your innocent smile 😇❤
Thank you for this great video! I finally understand the exposure triangle! Thank you so much! 🙏🏾

Smmmmmoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooootttthhhhhesttttt Transition of Q1 2021 goes tooooooo.... the general himself, sensei John B IV!!
😂😂😂 I thought hard about that one.
Hey man! Great video! At the end you mention another video showing how to choose exposure while on site. do you have link to that by chance?

If i only watched this video 2 years ago, my life would be easier. thank youuuuuu 😂
this was so informative and helpful. Thank you
Glad to help out! I plan on doing more videos on this subject as well.
Thank you so much for the info

You said ISO instead of aperture :) @4:22 btw great video and have been following your works.. love what you are creating :)

Awesome, thank you for this. Do you always shoot in M for gigs? If so, do you find it helps you to maintain your consistent style?

Hi John! Have you ever used a light meter? Do you recommend one?
I use it when I’m shooting film generally. But other than that I don’t use them at all.
Awesome ❤ video
Glad you enjoyed it. I hope it was helpful!
Very helpful. Subscribed dog!

The link in the description to buy the Natural Presets doesn't seem to work. At least not for me. I keep getting a 404 error. Moved adress or broken?
Weird. I just tested it and it still seems to be working for me. I'm not sure what's going on.
Hey how u reccoment the viltrox 23mm f1.4 for sony e mount
I've actually never had a chance to use any of the Viltrox lenses. Maybe in the future I can try it out. As of now I'm not sure how they are.
thanks
Welcome
Only critique I’d say is to always aim to shoot for the base ISO. You want the least amount of grain as possible
It’s true. However I feel a lot of photographers (when starting) end up making more mistakes because they’re trying to be at base ISO all of the time for a “perfect” photo rather than just doing what is necessary for a correct exposure.
Waooo that's good
Glad to hear it! I hope it was helpful.
Umm hearing a high pitched whine in the audio when you speak. I'm using headphones and it sounds like when a mic level peaks
Yeah....🙃 When I recorded I left the mic also plugged into USB-C so it picked up that digital noise. I tried to cancel as best I could.
@@jbivphotography right. Maybe on speakers it isn't as audible. My headphones are really good.
CHAT IM WATCHING THIS BC OF MY CO-OP VLASS I DONT WANNA ANDHDHGDGSGSGS
Three parameters don’t make a triangle. Plus where is light 🙄
???
If your camera has a meter then follow the meter position and adjust to that. no need to learn about the exposure triangle.
I'd HIGHLY dissagree. Mainly because there's multiple ways to get a "correct" exposure however the artistic differences can very HIGHLY. I could use my meter and it looks right but my ISO is at 80000 so my photo because extremley grainy. Or my shutter could be at 1/2 and my photo would be totally blurry.
