      David Manning so I Just got into doing photography I got a Fujifilm s1800 and it takes AA batteries, the batteries that I use die very fast and I was wondering what u think would be the best recharging batteries or what would be the best batteries to use thank u for the help
      And I watched this video so far 3 to 4 time to lock it in lol

    ISO - Sensitivity to light.
    - More ISO = more light (but also more grains and noise)
    - outdoor - ISO100
    - Shade - ISO200
    - Indoor - ISO400-800
    Aperture - Size of opening in the lens.
    - smaller the number 👉🏼 bigger the hole (more light)
    - CONTROLS DEPTH OF FIELD.
    - smaller the f/stop lower the depth of field.
    - Only one person - low f/stop (f/2)
    - more person - f/3.5 f/4 etc.,
    - For everything to be in focus (in landscape imgs) go to f/16 or f/20
    Shutter speed - Amount of time the shutter is open.
    - 1/100, 1/250, 1/8000 of a second etc.,
    - slower shutter speed 👉🏼 1", 2", 30" seconds.
    - CONTROLS MOTION BLUR.
    - Slow shutter speeds - used when on tripods.
    - Faster shutter speed used for sports etc.
    - For portrait - 1/250, 1/500 (ppl look sharp)
    - slow shutter speed (1/100) Works best for low light situations as well.
    - SLOW SHUTTER SPEED = MORE MOTION BLUR (More light)
    - When subject is moving - 1/800
    - FASTER SHUTTER SPEED = LESS MOTION BLUR.
    Setting:
    1. Set ISO first based on scene light (ISO100 OR 200 for outdoors)
    2. Decide how much depth of field you want (focus only 1 person or focus the next nearby person (2) etc.,) More Aperture = more depth of focus.
    3. How much motion blur I want to avoid?
    4.
    You take a TEST shot of the scene and the pic is too DARK .
    1. Slow shutter speed down until you don't see a motion blur.
    2. Lower Aperture to LET MORE LIGHT until the subject is in focus.
    3. Raise your ISO.
    You take a TEST shot of the scene and the pic is too BRIGHT.
    1. Reduce ISO.
    2. Raise shuttter speed.
    3. VERY LAST, Raise the Aperture (Remember you' ll have larger circle IN FOCUS)

    ~ My own notes:
    7:56 summary of everything
    0:57 ISO - the sensitivity of camera sensor; the higher the iso, the more sensitive the cam sensor is gonna be; higher iso = more light but also more noise and grainy as well; set your iso based on the SCENE
    2:40 Aperture - the size of lens opening/hole; the smaller the aperture, the bigger the lens hole, the more light comes in and vice versa; example: lens f/3.5 & f/38... 3.5 has bigger hole while 38 has smaller hole; the picture gets more detailed as the lens opening gets smaller; set your aperture based on the SUBJECT; if you want more depth of field (or more detailed pic), go for higher aperture (or small lens opening)
    5:55 Shutter speed - the amount of time (in seconds) that the shutter is open; example: 1/50, 1/250, or 1/8000 of a second for faster shutter speed. There is also 1", 2" , 10" for slower shutter speed meaning your shutter is open for 10" (10 seconds); shutter speed controls motion blur, use faster shutter speed for sports to capture crisp motion and make a fast-moving object freeze in time and avoid blur; slow shutter speed = more motion blur
    Fix scenario #1: image is too dark:
    - slow the shutter speed
    - lower the aperture
    - raise the iso
    Fix scenario #2: too bright:
    - lower the iso
    - raise the shutter speed
    - raise the aperture

Yes I paid a lot for my photography class in college, but it was only one part of the overall program I was in. It also included work with Photoshop, InDesign and some other things.

    "Explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old" is, by far, the best way to start when venturing into this world as a beginner. The explanations were given under the premise the viewer knew nothing about each setting, right down to when and why a photographer would need to change any of them. The examples were a great visual aid as well. This was exactly what I needed to feel ready for the next step in learning. Thank you!!

      If someone can't explain easy enough mostly they themselves are not clear about it. The other thing is good photography is involved but not a deep science subject which requires deep amount of knowledge. Usually you start with basics and if it sticks you will learn on ur own by experience but some folks who charge huge amount of money needs to make it complicated to look their expensive course worthy.

    THIS is what those of us just getting started need. The basic foundation of how our cameras operate and how we can use simple, straight forward principles to get decent shots. Much like people who buy high performance cars and drive 10 mph under the limit, it's annoying to see someone with a $500+ camera with it switched to AUTO. Thanks David!

  • @welcti
    @welcti 3 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    The advice to set ISO first and shutter speed last is great for photography. However, everyone should keep in mind that if shooting video, the order is basically reversed. You typically want the shutter speed set as close as possible to 2x your framerate, you still want to set aperture second to get the depth of field you want, and then you adjust ISO last to get brightness to match. If your camera doesn't have enough usable ISO range to achieve the right target brightness, if the image is too bright, you can darken it with filters. If it's too dark/noisy on the other hand, then you may have to compromise on depth of field, and possibly slow down the shutter speed slightly.

    Hey David, I'm just getting into DSLR and out of 20+ basic tutorial vids I've watched on YT yours is the best in terms of simplicity, ease of understanding, and personal vibes. I went to check out your playlists in hopes of finding more beginner tutorials, but didn't see an easy way to find more. Would you consider creating a shorter playlist of maybe ~10 vids specifically for beginners? May simply be curating some that you already have posted into something like "first 30 days of photography". I think that would help get more viewers to your channel and convert. I'll be returning to your channel regardless, thanks!

    Thank you so much for this video! Trying to figure out F stops and shutter speeds and why my photos are too dark or too bright while changing all three of these things without trying one at a time has nearly driven me crazy but hearing it simplified like this, was way better for me to go try to figure it out! Kudos to you.

    Wow, I'm thinking of taking up this as a hobby, as a total novice, this explained a lot - Thanks

    Thank you so much for taking your time to explain. You did it so good that I’m going to try my camera with what you thought us 😊

    Absolutely informative!! I just got my first camera and these are very useful things to understand from this video. Frankly was completely lost in terms but you definitely simplified it for me as a beginner. Trying to make it a hobby when I travel.

    Have to say, I want to start getting a bit more serious about photography and having watched many TH-cam videos on photography. Yours is the best, most informative, most detailed, easiest to understand with one of the best explanations on photography terms. Yours covers things that I would have to watch in 4-5 videos. Keep up the good work! Liked and definitely subscribed 👍🏻💪🏻
