I am one of your students and enrolled in your course and my time is so busy, I mostly watch your free videos. I have the new Canon R5 (But still love my Mk IV) and have not used my 70-200 much, but I plan to now. I just want to say this video was right on point. I have 10 grandkids and everything you said was golden. The lower shooting profile was a really good tip. I can certainly use that one for sure. You are a pro, thanks for what you do.
Wonderful video, do you have some advice around shutter speed, I.e what would be a minimum for family pictures with your 70-200 range lens, and therefore at what point it’s right to increase that ISO. Many thanks
My oldest daughter and her husband are having twins in a couple months. Your video gave me a couple good ideas on how to better utilize my D750 and 70-200mm Tamron G2. Great video!! Thank you for uploading it.
I like your videos. Do you use the same lens filter for all your photos? I haven't seen you talk about a filter for photos like these outdoor family photos.
Hi Mitchell, Mark did not use any filters. We might recommend a ND filter if you need to reduce the amount of light coming through your lens, but it is rarely used for family photos.
Thanks for a very helpful video, I shoot lots of bird photography but I'm not very experienced with portrait shooting. My grand daughter is 9 months old and these tips will be great for getting some family shots Thanks again Noel
Would you suggest using auto iso when you get near the time that the light may change, like near the end of the day? Or do you prefer doing that manually in most cases?
Every tip in this video is very helpful. The photos look amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing another amazing video with amazing tips. I really enjoyed this photo. I have a question, I have one of those Bower Tulip Rev Pro Hood 58MM. But I have noticed yours is much bigger. Now what is the purpose for it and does it make a difference while you are shooting photos?? I barely use mine.

Love your videos’s. You’re such an amazing photographer!! I ran into you up in Big Cottonwood Canyon when I was shooting my girls and you gave me some great tips :) Thanks for sharing your knowledge. You’re awesome!! ♥️ 📷
Thank you for always creating a valuable and interesting videos. It really helps me especially in understand the basics to advance. You really did explained well everything and it's easy to grasp every information you've given to us, viewers and also to aspiring photographers. Also, AV or Aperture Priority really does helpful if not all the time but in most scenarios. I love my shots now more than ever though its not quite sharp that I would imagine it would be but it looks more natural and the subject is in focus all the time. Love from the Philippines! 🇵🇭❤️

Nowadays keeping children to stay still is not an issue. Just toss them a smartphone or tablet and they will keep even more still than statues (except maybe thier fingers to go around the screen). The challenge is how to keep their faces up to the camera.
Of all the professional photographers I watch on line, you are the only one who uses your camera strap. It drives me nuts to see someone carrying around an expensive camera and not use the strap. Why do you suppose they don't use the strap?
Again you try to increase the ISO to cure blurry photos ..... Can you explain how ISO (it cannot) sharpen an image it will only increase grain as that is all ISO can affect on its own..... You clearly haven't got a clue
Raising the ISO allows for a faster shutter speed, thus preventing blurry photos due to subject movement and/or camera shake. Modern digital camera ISO performance is very good these days...especially those with larger APS-C and 35mm frame sensors...so the increase in noise is minimal.
I hope your foot tastes good. As the previous commenter pointed out higher ISO allows for faster shutter speeds thus reducing motion blur. Yes you sacrifice some noise, but in most cases that is a tradeoff well worth it.
One question remains, though, which is why one would increase ISO to indirectly get the camera to use the desired shutter speed, as opposed to dialing in the desired shutter speed directly. It seems to me that 1) manual aperture / shutter speed + auto ISO, or 2) aperture priority with a limit on shutter speed, are both superior options to 3) manual aperture, manual ISO, automatic shutter speed. Why would one choose 3)?

@@wbdill And you answer the question but like the idiot who posted this video...... Under your logic if we put our coat on we get a blur free photo.. Shutter speed is the only reason it sharpens..... Why not close down your aperture?? it only shallows DoF as a consequence... Shutter speed ...shutter speed and Shutter speed.... One answer ....

I laughed when he said: "Shoot like crazy." and it really gets to the point.

I am very impressed with your tutorial and now i am one of your students.

Great info! I just wish you offered more of these.
Thank you so much. All of your videos are simply amazing. I learned photography by watching your videos.
That's great to hear, Richchu! Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for this tutorial full of fantastic information!
Thanks for a very helpful video, I shoot lots of bird photography but I'm not very experienced with portrait shooting.
My grand daughter is 9 months old and these tips will be great for getting some family shots
Thanks again

You are very welcome, Noel! We are glad you found it useful. Hope you get beautiful photos of your grand
daughter.
Would you suggest using auto iso when you get near the time that the light may change, like near the end of the day? Or do you prefer doing that manually in most cases?
If you are referring to the sun setting when the light can quickly change, then Auto ISO will work.
Thank you. If you use ISO 1600 wouldn't that be a grainy picture if blown up?
Every tip in this video is very helpful. The photos look amazing. Thank you 🙏🏼 for sharing another amazing video with amazing tips. I really enjoyed this photo.

What focus mode did u use?
I'm really liking photography right now. Thanks for the tips. 😊
What lens is best for family photos in Nikon
The Nikon 50mm f/1.8G will work great! :)
