This video is by far the easiest (for me) explained and understood talk on the exposure triangle. I can now with confidence, go out and use the calculator i have in my brain to easily capture photos without having to delete in camera the captures that did not come out correctly. And, finally I can get off just Aperature Priority.....Thank You.

[@mausieur]

Thank you!!! I have seen a lot of exposure triangle diagrams and read/watched a lot of articles on this subject. The diagram in this video is the first one I have seen that instantly makes sense, and your explanations are really clear. In 8 to 10 mins I was able to set my DLSR to manual focus and I actually understood what I was doing!

[@mrdn777]

This is the first video talking about exposure that has finally made sense to me. Excellent work, well done!

[@gisstudents1098]

Thanks so much! This is the best explanation and diagram I have seen to understand the exposure triangle. And, for each one there is a tradeoff. Increasing or decreasing light is the goal. But, trade off for shutter is "motion blur" or lack thereof, ISO is grainy texture, and aperture changes "depth of field" creating blurry background (low F stop) or clear background (high F stop).

[@adewalesanni9167]

Very simple and educative. You are great teacher. Keep it up.

[@royjohnson8526]
