I came in for photography advice...but i stayed for the lovely relationship you got with that plant... Omg
LMAO SAME
Lol
His plant looks way better than any of my plants I’ve tried taking care of 😂
Haha! I know you commented this 2 years ago but yes! I just commented a minute ago that it's amazing how plants/flowers can make us feel so good!?!
Lol.. omg same
Mistakes:
1. Not using the histogram
2. Not moving
3. Not bringing a tripod
4. Not being thorough
Andris Erglis how about not onwing a tripod?
@@binhduongbinhduong812 3. point
The histogram is such an important tool because it gives you an unbiased view of your picture
@@ClaytonD719 I always forget to look at the histogram. I need to make it a habit
2 and 3 I can feel it deep in my heart. Haha.
This advice is not for just beginners, but for seasoned professionals too. The simple things we forget and arrogance is a killer. Thanks Peter.
That’s exactly what I was thinking too! It was really helpful to brush up on tips and tricks to become a better photographer
YES! Agreed. Happy New Years!
Showing the effects while you talk about things like the Histogram is something I've been wishing you did while explaining things in other videos. It's great thank ye
It makes it faster to understand it helped me out to
I just want to say I noticed and appreciated the motion graphics added to this video and I know that took time and effort and attention to detail which is why I enjoy the content overall. All the small details that add that nice polish to your content.
Ditto
Right? I wanna learn how to incorporate them in videos
I absolutely agree. I think few people fully understand the amazing quality of peter's videos. Even the quickest shot has perfect lighting, color grading and editing. Well done peter and keep it up.
That motion tracking was on point! So good! Back to those subtle things that make all the difference
Nick Zamudio Yeah most people don’t really realize how long it takes to get that motion tracking done just for the little three seconds sprints
how much?
I scrolled down just for this comment and found it right on top :D Very nice
lufatography it's at 2:30 the white line
You can do it in after effects. It's called object tracking. If the footage is good, the software does it all for you in no time. You might have to tweak few tracking points in case something goes wrong, but it's not as hard as you think it is
all i’m saying is this mans vibes hit different
For sure passed the vibe check
@Critical Unity that's alright though
That histogram bit was so freakin' easy to understand for absolute newbs! Thanks a bunch!
It was also very oversimplified & misleading!
My tripod is the closest thing I have to a friend that can hold the camera for me. So I love my tripod lol

@@a.m9199 I'm verified already lol
sad truth. me to man.
😂😂😂
Jonno Plays same here
i never knew what the histogram was for ... you just made me want to learn... yes! love learning new things!
I *felt* that intro and I think I've found the cure to depression
I just started photography a few weeks ago and one thing I'm doing aside from shooting using manual, is using burst, I'll play with several settings for a burst and then review my pictures later
the new background and quality of sound... dang, you're not messing around! Continuously leveling up! Okay, time to watch Matti's video :-)))
I know! He's getting really advanced! Lol
His editing is also improving as well!
Fala português kkkkk
For real !! He Brought up the game .
Caleb S. haha I concur
Tip one, don’t trust your eyes.
Tip two, obsessively tidy.
Tip three, keep your enemies close.
Tip four, never forget.
I’ve got this!
Tip five, remember, no Russian.
@@deeps9687 Yes, he means the tripod. i hate bringing mine everywhere too, and i hate forgetting it at the same time
@@_dajo same
@@Shayne757 oh hell naw. My flight can wait
I've got it too! But I well forget it too
It is so refreshing to hear someone else mention detail. Just taking 10 seconds to scan the necklace clasp, hairband on the wrist, a tiny curl that needs resetting, all the details I don't/can't fix later. I have to remind myself to stop and take a breath to evaluate the situation. Love finding your photo edits:)
I’m new to photography, Jesus Christ shits hard to learn. A lot of this and that and forgetting what settings is needed.
Sexysaurus Rex I found that a lot of photography is about experimentation. After all, whatever you produce is yours, there’s no right or wrong. You may even hate what you produce but that’s the beauty of art being subjective. Someone else may love it. There is a lot to remember, but don’t let that restrict you or demotivate you to go and take photos. Your mistakes and awful photos (every 999/1000 for me) will teach you what settings you need to use next time. It’s hard to learn things straight off because you have no understanding of their effect until you actually go and try it. Welcome your mistakes and the rest will follow! All the best with it :)
@@FlickGraphics Absolutely 🙌
@@FlickGraphics Yup! And dont forget to just take photos of whatever to get used to your camera!
I looove learning it!!! I feel that every single day I discover new stuff, and I really enjoy trying everytime I learn something new.
ugh. I know. I am interested to learn a bit more, because I take shots of fascinating things and places, but they either are blurry or it's something other
Seeing him happy about his plant made me so happy! This was a great video with a great mood! I loved this!!
This was the only missing piece from your photo & video education playlist...
Thank you Peter!

Me: Oh crap...just bought one
Peter: Buy one
Me: Hellllllllll yeahhhhhhhhh!!!!!
HE just explains everything so well, I feel like I learned so much and now I can go practice. And his energy just made watch video after video. Also not ashamed to say I took notes hahaha
Same here. I took notes also... lol
This video seemed especially clean for some reason. The audio was on point, B-Roll was butter and overall everything just felt.. smooth. Certainly stealing like an artist (Austin Kleon style) from this video
Love your vids❤❤❤
@@minethenriquez1226 Wow haha I didn't think I'd grown enough to be noticed out in the wild yet 🤣 thank you my friend
@@KennethWayne I never thought I would be appreciated by a creator like you...You're welcome
Im a fan🤓
The Shure SM-7 is a sweet sounding microphone.
Great suggestions! I agree with all of them but particularly the "check your settings" tip. I run large format printers and checking my settings prior to printing has been PARAMOUNT in my success of rarely ever screwing up.
Peter, man, you've got personality! I've been really enjoying these mini tutorials and priceless insight to your process! I guarantee your advice has made a difference here. Thank you for sharing!
Pretty sure this is my first comment after all these years on TH-cam.
But I just have to say thank you.
Thank you for being one of the few people on TH-cam who genuinely have an interest in helping budding content creators find their footing.
You've inspired me and how many TH-camrs can say they truly inspire people?
Hats off to you.
Keep up the great work 🍻
You’re my biggest rolemodel. Just started out with Photography, I love it so much! Thank you so much for opening my eyes, and camera.... 🎥
Fun story, you can actually break a chunk of that plant off and stick it in a cup of water and it will root and grow another one. Just make sure it has a few leaves on it (like 5 or so).. rip off the bottom leaf closest to the cut and put it in water... Should have roots in like 30 days or less. Then you can plant it in soil and have another Pothos. :)
Damn James coming in hot with the Botany knowledge! That's cool stuff though!
Peter would need an entire coffee tree plantation to keep his caffeine fix sustained..
Your energy is contagious. Seems like such a cool dude. I could watch your videos all day. It’s like sitting with a cool friend and your simply hanging out but your learning from him and enjoying it. Time well spent!
7:37 "Got a little carried away on that one."- Love the voice change there hahaha
I've been wanting to get into photography for years and yesterday I pulled the trigger and ordered one. In preparation for its arrival, I binge-watched about 4 hours of your videos. I love the editing style in your videos and I love your photos as well.
On a side note, I have always wanted to work for myself as you have stated, and a few months ago I began my journey doing my own thing. I have a long way to go but I finally feel hopeful and excited to work! Your videos have shown me that I too can learn to make a living doing what I love. Thanks for the inspiration!
Lmaooo this is LITERALLY me, just went all out, hurt my pockets a bit but I know it'll be worth it
@@Hellamoody Yessir facts good luck dude you got this💯🤙🏽
@@ANTHNYYY thanks my guy, you as well!
So hows it goin?
@@HellamoodyGood luck!
A good early tip I got was "It is not only important what you put in the picture but what you leave out."
This is the first video I have ever watch from him, immediately felt that I am gonna learn a lot...so subscribed right away. I just love his way of explaining ideas clearly and concisely with the practical approach.
I love you, Peter ❤️I'm so glad I found you on re-introduction to photography. You always talk about what the final result will look like when you recommend a setting or a lens. That's what I want to hear! Who knew what the histogram was for? Thanks!
Wow mind blown. Loving the new background. Cant wait for the podcast!! And tip ONE was def something i need to pay attention to. Thanks Peter
Just subscribed to your channel. Thanks for supplying me with additional knowledge about photography. Now, I defo need that preset pack!! 😊😊
Your enthusiasm is immaculate. How enthusiastic you were about your plant… How enthusiastic you were throughout the video…Amazing. Thank you.
I've seen ur videos for over 8 months and I loved them! thanks for the energy you put on them, I want to take photography to the next level but it takes time. KEEP IT UPP!
Your videos were already gold-standard production quality, and you just keep stepping it up.
PETER, I love ur new set up, the background, sound quality and just overall your always striving to improve your videos in any way possible, you are so motivating🙏
You need a wicked scripted 'Peter McKinnon' polished brass logo in the background bolted to the wall, or a neon lol.
I'm just a beginner. And you showing a visual of the histogram helped me understand this better. I appreciate the visuals. Thank you!
I immediately liked when I saw his happiness at his plant booming. So pure ❤❤
"I feel lighter now"
Wait until you get to carry that 3kg tripod again.
Thanks Peter for your secret tips, love it. More people should learn to share their knowledge like this.
I think a lot of people are afraid of anyone else doing better with their info...
I think true success is gained by not only failure, but by being a teacher, leader, motivator, etc whereby sharing info and tidbits to others who want to learn... imho
Always check one or two of your videos before going out with the camera. Thank you for your advice. Really helps me keeping focus.
Thanks for this info! I don't even have a camera yet but I'm saving for one and soaking all this info up gets me excited to learn more.
This is just great to know, all this tips are important to me now. One day at a time to be a better photographer! Thanks Peter!!!!!
Peter You have the best speaking rythmn what makes me to keep watching your same video several times until you update the next one ☺
I love how authentic you are.
It's amazing how happy plants/flowers can make you feel!
hahaha so funny, bless you man! world would be a better place with more people like you. Thanks for tips
The histogram tip applies but not to all photos. If you’re shooting in snow then your histogram will be peaking mostly in the highlights area, altering it will ruin the image. And vice versa, if you’re doing night photography then the opposite is true.
Peter! I'm glad I've found you! Your enthusiasm is so contagious and you're a joy to watch! I love your honesty and your vids make me believe that I could actually be a half decent photographer one day! Thank you so much for your work!
Been taking pictures for 5 years and the histogram never even crossed my mind 😤👌🏼 much appreciated!!
I've obviously been watching you a lot as I'm working on my music channel.
My 9 year old said while watching a show. " I'm going to go grab more chips while it's playing this B ROLL" thanks Peter
Thats funny B roll in a 9 year old's vocab
That's funny do your kids do photography too!
@@michellebeverly9191 they do a little photography
Sometimes they do the video on my relaxing piano music videos on my channel
That's so awesome!
@@Mykosis1 they will be way better than me soon
Amazing background. Great video as usual. Good job Peter
Talkin’ Photography, you’ve made my day!! I’m starting out again, after years. I’m now following you for help. Starting a nonprofit and a photograph, will help tell their story! Thanks again for all the awesomeness📸
Your videos are honestly so enjoyable to watch! Thanks for the tips Peter 😊
I LOVE your hair loose. We rarely get to see it like that. Keep it up bossman!
How did I just find your channel now? I love how real you are. So authentic. Great Tips! Thanks for sharing. PS - I love Pothos! Omg, I hate using my tripod --- Now, I will try to use it more.
This is by far my favorite video from Peter McKinnon
So information packed in a little of 8 minutes! I learned so much and it was so easy to understand and grasp :)
I come back to these old videos from time to time. I miss learning from you like this.
Best mic ever!! Love my Shure SM7B...
Peter McKinnon rocks! I should've seen this clip BEFORE heading out to Uinta Wasatch Cache National Forrest - Willow Heights Conservation Area - and taking mediocre photos! And the climb up there was treacherous, and I had a pounding headache midway. And the tip on GOLDEN HOUR! I'm not shooting crappy photos and videos again for my TH-cam channel.

oh man the quality of these videos is just stunning. Thanks for all the tips and tricks you are teaching to us all beginners for free.
I love videos like this because there is even things that I haven’t been doing and I would say I’m a step up from a beginner photographer. Thank you for making videos like this and I would love to see you post more things like this!
it makes me really happy to see a person who`s happy about a plant. esp guys
It's one of those days where this is the 10th video I am watching from Peter and I can't stop but I also know I'll end up rewatching them because I didn't retain all of that info.

Guys we got a Mic in the frame!

I have mad respect for your photography skills.
Those pictures are divine!!
Great tips for beginners for sure! Also very nicely produced video :)
I'm SO glad I subscribed to you
amazing advices for beginners and nice humility as well , loved it
Thank you for sharing your plant! It just reminded me that I need to water mine!
I laughed so hard at your "I HATE tripods !" 😂😂 because same
your locks are glorious. I mean, I'm married and all, but jealous of the hair.
as the person that does Peter's hair,
hmu so I can do your husbands too! :D

can travel upto 100 miles from Toronto but your mileage may vary..
Agreed! My boyfriend & I both have pin-straight hair locks, & his hair is so long (genuinely down to his waist: he’s in a band: just for context) - but we always slightly envy those with this natural healthy texture/thickness like Peter’s hair. Congrats on good genes & your hairdresser 💇🏻♂️💪👍😁
I am super jealous also!!!
I want his hair too
so much
I initially come here for the tips, but end up liking the bass on that background music even more. Dope content, subbed.
One of the best videos I’ve ever seen! The way you explain histogram showing the video’s histogram... :D
Dude, this is high level! Chapeaux
The intro just made me so happy lolz
What are using for video editing? This line following your finger when explaining the histogram, how did you do it ? Thanks☺
You make this whole photography/videography thing much more fun
Really enjoyed the quality and playfulness of this video. Thank you!
Omg thank you for this video!
I’ve been taking pictures since I was given my first camera. When I was 12 my aunt gave me her favorite tripod and to this day it’s the only one I like using. But even with the courses I’ve taken I’m still learning more everyday.
The affection you have for that plant is sweet!
Yessss keep growing those plants! This video popped up on my home screen cause I just started a photography class and all these tips are so helpful!
I really want to know how you did the thing with the white line when you were swishing your hands back and forth!
Your Videos are FULL OF Great Info..."explosive....BBBBBWHATSUP!!"
So this is my first video seeing of yours. and I instantly subscribed solely based on your setup and the video just got better from there! I love your energy man, keep it up!
I love the way you talk in videos, very easy to listen to! 🌟
This is the most "McKinon" confortable épisode of season 2 ! Thank you !
Hey, great vid! I was curious about those small jpeg pics that you managed to blow up. How do you do that while preserving quality? I want to enhance some images for large format (as in, larger than their quality would allow for) and I’m a bit clueless. I heard photoshops new algorithms to supersize pictures are great, but do they look that great on print? Thanks!
Thanks for very simple tips, but very valuable. Heard about the "histogram", but not really understood, now I do. Awesome video!
I just bought my first camera and your small clips have helped immensely. Wasn’t comfortable playing with the buttons until you’ve explained them.
