I think about it like an eyeball, The shutter speed is the blink speed, aperture is how wide you or how much you open your eye, and the ISO can be like how much light you are sensitive too.
Yes! Beginner basics. Definitely more of these. Would love to see a good breakdown of long-exposure shooting. What types of f/iso/shutter-speed you'd use for difference scenarios. Like astrophotography, etc..
30 test shots using what settings? There are thousands of combinations of settings. 1 you might use for shooting pics of the moon, would work the same for shooting pics of Jupiter, moving traffic, fireworks, etc..
There's no "set" setting for any scenario. it changes with the slightest change in the environment. i think what the other person meant by 30 test shots is you literally just have to go and do a test shoot. in 1 minute, even if the sun, moon or whatever light source doesn't change, you could still end up using 20 different settings. because it depends what YOU WANT to capture and how you want to capture it. The most anyone can recommend is to say, if you want to shoot in low light, you need to open the aperture and do a longer exposure, but they can't tell you which setting is the exactly right one for you unless they're there looking through the camera too. and even then, it's just their preference.
Well of course. I was looking for basics. If you are doing a long exposure, meaning you are leaving the shutter open to capture the most light, some basic tips on what different apertures will do, ISO settings for long exposure at night vs daytime. I know each incident is unique. Just basic tips is what I meant.
he covered those things in this video, albeit fast, did he not? but yeah i get what you're asking for now ^^ looks like he plans to do more basics so he'll probably go into depth later on .
Here are some notes I took to help all of you (myself included :P): 1. Shutter speed 2. Aperture 3. ISO THE MOST IMPORTANT THING: Each three terms complement eachother!!! 1. Shutter speed: - Someone running in a fast pace -> can get clear shots (panning etc...) - The image can get blurry if the shutter SPEED IS SLOW -> panning - If the shutter speed is high, the image will be clear without any motion blur 2. Aperture: - Lets light in - Details: the higher you set the APERTURE the more light you will let in which lets you see more from the object's background -> MORE APERTURE - MORE DETAIL 3. ISO ("fake light"): - Mostly used at low light situations -> basically creates "fake light" - Makes the photo brighter, but as bright as it gets the quality goes way down on the image... (noisy images)
One thing that you missed is, shutter speed also lets in more or less light depending on how slow or fast it is. The longer the shutter is open, the more light can enter the camera. Thats why aperture and shutter speed are used together really nicely. If you need a fast shutter speed, you can bump up the aperture and if you need a specific field of view with the aperture you can increase the shutter speed.
When I see someone explain something to beginners in layman terms and not use terminology that only a 10 year veteran would understand.....it gets a “subscribed” from me.
This was BY AND FAR the most useful and simple way I've ever heard those three things explained. Friggin Kudos. Thank you so much for simplifying this down!
Best quote out of this... "There's a large audience and I don't think everyone is at the same skill set." I love that he still cares about the beginners out there
My thoughts too, i can hit things with hammers, but on cameras, i have been lead to believe its counter productive. A basic how to film stuff would be really useful.
I have such a hard time remembering the way ISO, shutter speed, and aperture combine, and have honestly watched tons of videos and read a lot of articles, and on and on, and I actually had a light bulb moment during this one. Thank you!
same here!! the more i read the more confused i got becos there is NO pics taken to describe the concept like the way Peter does. Now I feel more confident to try out my camera....thanks Peter for your excellent lesson on the basics.
I've always thought about it like volume/gain in terms of sound. Turn it up and you can hear it better/louder (brighter) but it starts to introduce distortion/noise
-Thinks about learning more about camera settings -opens youtube to find a good video about this -sees this video at the top of my recomandations without typing anything
I loved it Peter! Exactly the step I am on right now. I can't wait till the next class! PS: You can make Two Minute Tuesdays 2 hours long and no one will care about how long it actually is. You have a massive amount of knowledge that we all want to hear.
been trying to learn photography terms and skills for the past 2-3 weeks on youtube tutorials, and i've learnt a lot but this is 1 of the videos that helped me understand it because of the way you explained it with how ISO, aperture and shutter speed work with each other, thank you so much :)
This guy is a genius!! Love how he explained camera settings and made it fun. Even the simplest things can be difficult but you nailed it when explaining everything. You nailed it dude!! Thank you so much. I really am looking to take my skills to the next level. I really do have a great eye for photography
This is actually my favourite video among all Peter's Videos. So much quality information and perfect examples to enhance further understanding. Really good stuff mate.
I literally got a 2000D and I really like taking photos (always done that with my phone), and now I'm listening to everypart of your video like 30 times to learn everything, REALLY useful
tbh I never thought photography was this complex... damn I just thought you find a nice thing and take a picture see if it came out good... then be like ok bye. This is very enlightening.. very iso-ing
this is why i hate talking about photography with smartphone photographers who use all the phone's computational photography features, it's because they never appreciate the amiunt of knowledge and skill in photography. Glad you did though!
I’m a beginner photographer and i love the whole idea and culture i just never understood anything like what you mentioned in the video but i do now. Thank you brother!
I love the way everything got explained. It's clear language, so even I (an artificial English speaker) can understand it really good. I wanted to get ahead of the basic information before my next semester in college where I want to do a class called 'Photo Design', really helps me out thank you!
Thank you! I'm starting at square one and have been struggling to catch up in some videos where aperture shutter and ISO haven't been explained. This helped a lot.
You’re like a breath of fresh air 👏🏻 I love to watch you explain the basics of photography. You’re SO passionate about what you’re exceptionally good at. Thank you 🙏🏼 for this.
Saved this video 2 years ago and I finally watched it today... really wished I watched this earlier cause this really made things a whole lot less scary. Most simplest explanation of Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO I have ever seen!
I’ve watched so many other videos on trying to understand this and your video is the only one I understood right away! You explain everything so well so thank you so much! I’m going to go to college for photography and I still have to figure what what camera to buy!
@Imperator i would put woodworking up there with it. I just started taking interest in photography after my trip to singapore. I was not that happy with my phone pics that I took there. So I want to get into Photography as a serious hobbyist not professional at all.
Thank you Peter! I am just getting into photography. Just bought a used. Canon Rebel T7i. Excited to get started and play with my Shutter Apature and ISO adjustments.
So glad you explained this so easy and simple Peter!! Anyone who asks will now get a link to this DOPE VIDEO!!! WELL DONE MAN!!! Greetings from South Africa!!!
It's the holy trinity of photography and filmmaking. Something that might help photography beginners as well is that you *should aim to shoot your focal length as a minimum shutter speed or higher. So if you're on a 50mm lens, aim for 1/50. If you're on a 200mm lens, 1/200, etc. Obviously with image stabilisation and/or tripods this is less of a thing but for handheld unstabilised, that's the minimum you'd probably want to go to get a sharp image. *should: rules are meant to be broken, when the need is there.
Darcy Miller ah good point! So if you're on a crop sensor camera, figure out what the crop factor is and multiply the shutter speed by that. So a 50mm on APS-C 1.5x would require a minimum shutter of 1/75 so 1/80 closest thing. 👍
The way he described in the video makes it seem like ISO is a last resort for low light. Would you say that's the case? So in bright light situations you'd mainly focus on adjusting shutter speed and aperture, and leave ISO alone?
Definitely. Shutter and Aperture have far more control over the "look" of your shot right? ISO serves as a crutch to help your camera achieve that look you're after when there isn't enough light. What Peter says about is being like "fake light" is absolutely bang on the money. It does work as a triangle sure but shutter and aperture should be considered first I think, then ISO to compensate to make that shutter/aperture combo work as desired.
Hey Peter, I just wanted to say I love all of your vids and if you wanted to start a new series I think it would be good for your fans/subscribers to send in their photos and you can tell them how to make it better so we can improve. Its just a suggestion but keep up the great videos and I always get inspired by your vids. Thanks, Flynn
I've watched this video a few times and it made sense but it was still hard to get my head around. I'm now in module two, of a 4 module diploma for professional photography (to help me with my vlogging and photography skills) and I've just watched this video again and it blew my mind how simple it sounds this time around! Thank you so much for influencing me to take this path :)
Many years ago I took some photography classes to learn how to be a better shooter (IE get out of Auto). Aperture, Shutter speed & ISO were coined as the "Love Triangle". Always thought it was a great description. I am well past the Basics but still enjoyed your presentation!
Thank you so much, this actually helps a lot. I feel a little more comfortable if I try manually taking pictures with my phone just to learn before I buy an actual camera.
White balance is actually super simple! Its basic just how your camera perceives what is "true white" if your temperature is warmer then the image itself is going to look more yellow. Same as if its cooler. White balance normally should be "balanced" So the whites in a frame look normal. For instance in daylight I believe normally the right temperature is about 5200! Depending on your software you can generally change this slightly in post :D
I just feel so grateful for being able to have someone explain all of this stuff to me with such passion! I have to study cameras for a test right now and I've decided to go the TH-cam route just because I trusted in finding someone like you! Thank you for this.
Just recently discovered your channel and have been binging. It's amazing how much value I have already taken from it. Thank you for such great videos. Incredible work!
Subbed because of this video. I'm just getting into photography and this was super helpful man! Keep up the awesome work and helping new people to understand how photography works :D
Great video for someone who is having trouble getting the basics down. Plus, you are adorable! I liked, I subscribed, and I'm moving on to Camera Basics II. Thanks for thinking of us remedial photographers!
this was an awesome video! I've had people explain those concepts to me before and have it not quite click. For whatever reason your explanation helped me get a better understanding. Is there anyway you could show effects of those concepts in real time? Like a video where you talk through different shots out in the world?
Such a good teacher! My father was a photography buff and I learned all this when I was a kid on his old SLR with B&W film. Now in my 50s I'm a bit rusty but want to finally pursue this. TY and look forward to more info. Cheers
Im starting photography (kind late coz I'm 27..) and this video is so EXACTLY what I was looking for.. Plus super well explained and demonstrated. Love the serie concept and subtitles availables. Thumb up :)
Make sure your Shutter Speed is around double your frame rate to keep it looking as natural as possible! Lower the f/stop or aperture the more bokeh your gonna get which is alot better if your wanting nice deep rack focus! PLus works lets in more light for dark scenes!
Dude thank you. So many "beginner" photography/videography videos throw a bunch of jargon at you and expect you to follow. Like bro, all I know how to do is push a button.
I'm starting off into photography to accompany my writing, and feel like I got the basic mechanics from you. You explained it in a way that was easy understand and to see so thank you! Now to just practice.
Yeah but to get a cinematic look you wanna use the 180 degree rule so you would set your shutter speed at twice the fps you are using. So if you are shooting at 24fps you wanna set your shutter speed at 1/48 or as close to this as possible(most cameras do 1/50). But when you're shooting that buttery smooth b-roll at 120 fps you should crank your shutter speed up to 1/240.
You're the main reason why I want to pursue my dream to become a photographer. You never fail to inspire me. One day, I'll be able to afford a camera and have a collab with you peter.
When you are describing about Aperture, Shutter and ISo.It will be more better if you show us how to set them as well because you wrote Basic.We are the beginner. Please can you make the video describing about the all parts works, setting with Example . I love your video. And the way you describe and talks

Darcy Miller ah good point! So if you're on a crop sensor camera, figure out what the crop factor is and multiply the shutter speed by that. So a 50mm on APS-C 1.5x would require a minimum shutter of 1/75 so 1/80 closest thing. 👍

Smart Easy DIY same crap different pile. Best wishes!
Make sure your Shutter Speed is around double your frame rate to keep it looking as natural as possible! Lower the f/stop or aperture the more bokeh your gonna get which is alot better if your wanting nice deep rack focus! PLus works lets in more light for dark scenes!
Thanks man
yes indeed. love to know the basic
The fastest 7 minutes video I ever watch. Time works differently in McKinnon's world.
That Cereal analogy was great!
Dude thank you. So many "beginner" photography/videography videos throw a bunch of jargon at you and expect you to follow. Like bro, all I know how to do is push a button.
AWESOME INFORMATION EVERYONE NEEDS TO HEAR AND LEARN
it's like Ive had an empty bowl of cereal for a longgg time
Definitely kill the 2 minute Tuesday, you can't possibly explain all this awesome shit in 2 minutes 🤣
I'm starting off into photography to accompany my writing, and feel like I got the basic mechanics from you. You explained it in a way that was easy understand and to see so thank you! Now to just practice.

Assistant to the Sensai.
@Vamsi g haha same😂😂
This was awesome, loved the analogy!
00:40 Seconds in and I already hit like! GENIUS cereal analogy hahahaha Brilliant!
I've been taking pictures for year, and never grasped the whole ISO/aperture/shutter speed thing until now. Thank you!!!
I had my camera next to me so I could try everything right away, got carried away and spent almost an hour trying all the different modes it has.
Let me rewatch this again, cause I didn’t quite catch it the first time 😂🤦🏽♀️😉
Can you please make that same video just for the basics of videography?
Please
Basically it would be the same, maxal exposure time would be 1/frame rate, tough
Yeah but to get a cinematic look you wanna use the 180 degree rule so you would set your shutter speed at twice the fps you are using. So if you are shooting at 24fps you wanna set your shutter speed at 1/48 or as close to this as possible(most cameras do 1/50). But when you're shooting that buttery smooth b-roll at 120 fps you should crank your shutter speed up to 1/240.
Romulus Remus True if you want this "special effect" but not everyone wants it always for everything
You're the main reason why I want to pursue my dream to become a photographer. You never fail to inspire me. One day, I'll be able to afford a camera and have a collab with you peter.
I absolutely admire your videos!
This room looks sooo *wierd* without the windows covered.
Vince Opra-Szabo weird
Oh shoot I just noticed this too!
What!
When you are describing about Aperture, Shutter and ISo.It will be more better if you show us how to set them as well because you wrote Basic.We are the beginner.
Please can you make the video describing about the all parts works, setting with Example .
I love your video. And the way you describe and talks
Check your camera manual. Different bodies have diffferent buttons
No offense but ur grammar reminds me of starfire from teen titans 😂♥️♥️♥️
