I've been doing photography consistently for a year, and despite having watched tons of videos talking about aperture, shutter speed, iso, etc. I never managed to effectively apply it to my photography. I watched this video this morning, packed my camera, and headed out. I can tell you it's been by far the most satisfying photo walk I've ever done. I finally managed to get some understanding of how to set up my camera and took a few nice shots (in MANUAL!!). Granted, a lot of them are terrible, but at least now I know what to do to fix it. Thanks so much!
As a total photography novice, this was such a helpful & educational video. Really appreciate how you break everything down to help everything's individual function.
Omg, I always found it awkward doing zone focusing and always end up spends time to properly focused. I never thought you could simply divide your entire focusing range to 3 points to simplify the process, makes so much sense.
I really like this video.. I do photography with a d850 so focusing hasn’t been at the forefront, as the autofocus does the work. But I’m getting into film and I never knew what the focus numbers actually meant.. thanks for the explanation it. this is actually going to help a lot. BTW I love the thrift videos!! I wish we had more in my area I would do that more often as I’m still looking or the film camera that’s right for me
PSA: For anyone shooting Leica, especially if they have a big/fast lens like a 50. If you are walking around on a sunny day, without a lens cap - do yourself a favor and leave the aperture at the smallest aperture, and not on infinity. The Leica shutter is cloth, and having an open shutter on a large lens essentially turns it into a magnifying glass and can burn a hole in your cloth shutter in a matter of seconds. Don't end up as another person on reddit wondering why you have these weird light leaks (assuming the burn hole was pinhole sized and not a massive hole in the shutter curtain.)
Bro! That was extremely helpful! Thank you for taking the time to make this video. Especially the part about zone focusing. It helped me out a lot.. Subscribed. Thanks 💯
It would be so cool if you could add the words on the screen to the top half instead of the bottom half, because if a person uses closed captions then your text gets covered :/ just a suggestion!
Great tips. I’m still trying to understand why people say “make photos” when talking about street photography. Capturing. Shooting. Taking. All make sense to me. Making? Maybe a video explaining where this comes from would be good.
Shouldn’t I try to just match my shutter speed to my iso? Like ISO 400 and then 1/500th? Would that help freeze better too? What would I do with F-stop? Love your videos
I would love to hear more advice that I could apply on my DSLR with simple kit lens since it has AF switch on lenses and it is impractical to switch it on and off, so I prefer to have autofocus ON. Also, most of those stuff you said unfortunately I don't have on my Canon 2000D. I guess I can use basic setting tip with Auto ISO, that should help alot.
@16:30 You cringe when you see people focus like this... Dude, on some cameras and lens combos that just feels natural and on others it's more comfortable to do it differently. That's all. But besides that, great video! Zone focusing is a super useful technique. On digital, you could also set up presets and toggle between them with a button. I usually have it set to toggle between two different apertures or different shutter speeds, depending on what I'm shooting.
What do u mean pro camera? Those are entry to intermediate level cameras and every camera on market has the same settings. What did you want him to do? Make this video about how to focus with smartphones? I know a bunch of people who buy beginner level cameras and learn it over youtube

You r so right. Always BE READY ! you don't know what is waiting you around the corner
Thanks so much for such great videos, you are so good at breaking down so much information and making it make sense!!!
This was actually a fantastic video, I think i had SOME understanding of zone focusing but it finally clicked here with this video
I’ve become addicted to your videos, they are so good! Very well explained, just what i need when learning film photography 🙌🏼
Genuinely one of the best videos out there

Incredible video.. I was just thinking about this today!
I've been looking for something like this, thanks!

Great video - any chance of one on settings for compact digicams please like the S95?

Hello my friend. What type of thumb grip is on the hot shoe of your Fujifilm X-Pro camera?
Do a review on the Street Candy Psychedelic 400 Film 👌
The holding the camera segment! This bugs me to no end too.
Does it work for digicams, point and shot type?
Can you please make a video about shooting street in bulb mode? Thanks
Thats right gotta have that minolta in there. Its been awhile Du ma lets go gang
Your hand underneath also helps to the camera steadier.

And what's is that line in the middle ? Why infinity is there? And not on 16?
Where’s the full in depth tutorial huh
This guy never replies his subscribers in the comment
when nobody watches you it's hard to keep track of everyone

Why explain beginner stuff with a pro camera??? Does it really match the level of the viewer?
