I'm 73, began my interest in photography when I was 21 and have won many photo awards. This is the clearest explanation of shutter and aperture priority I've seen! Two thumbs up!
The voice clarity, the detailed information, and the photo illustrations made this video perfect for people who wants to learn photography.. Kudos to you Mark!
Here is a trick I learned for making a fence disappear in zoo photography. Using aperture priority, set the lowest f-stop, focus on the animal, if there is enough distance between the animal and the fence, the fence is so out of focus it literally disappears from the image.
No matter what mode you're in you can get the same visual effect by controlling just one parameter. To get a preferred shutter either adjust iso or aperture or vice versa. And in manual you control all parameters....so just shoot manual and take control of your camera. Simplicity.
As a beginner, I took couple photography classes in the past couple years. This short tutorial nailed some of the essentials in such eloquent way. Thank you! Mark!
As a hobby photographer, I watch lots of tutorials to try to improve my skills. Your style is about the best I have come across for simplicity, clarity, and ease of grasping technical material. Thank you - I'll be watching and learning more!

I use Nikon. When there's no time to think, I go P; when subject's moving, I go S; when subject's set, I go A; and when I have all the time in the world, I go M. Worked for me//
I've been shooting photography for more years than I like to admit. That being said, I like to see how other people present the basics to the trade. You did a great job making it as simplistic and understandable as possible to the new comer. Nice job and great video.
Easy to digest. So many so called tutorials for beginners suck because they rush through like a steam train and forget who the supposedly making the video for. Thanks for yet another great lesson.
I've been taking photos with a base model Nikon D3500 for the last 10+ years in auto mode, but after recently upgrading to a Nikon Z5 I decided it was finally time to take the plunge and learn how to get out of "auto mode" and start using aperture priority, shutter priority, and manual modes. Of all the videos I have watching thus far, this one explains things in a language I can finally understand. Thank you!

You are my favorite photography teacher, not all about spending every cent you have or a techy snob. just relatable and clear facts about universal camera use. thank you!
Thank you Thank you Thank you. Finally someone who addressed what I was looking for. Today was my lucky day, that I bumped into this video. Shared it with a lot of my contacts.
@Photography Pro. This guy is amazing. He really meant it when he said he didn't hold back while giving us the information. This was the most easiest, well explained and concise photography tutorial. Thank you❤️
I know this is a beginner video, but one thing to keep in mind too when talking about aperture is also subject distance in relation to the background too, which will affect blur (there are other factors too). If you're subject is standing right against a brick wall, for example, and you shoot at f/2.8 chances are the brick wall will be slightly out of focus (again, depending on other factors too) but not completely out of focus, whereas if you're subject is standing 10 ft in front of the brick wall, the brick wall may be more out of focus at f/2.8 (it's the subject-background distance factor to consider). Again, goes a bit beyond this video but just because you're shooting at 2.8 for example, doesn't always mean your background will be completely out of focus like you see in some pictures where people brag they shot it at f/2.8 and the bokeh (background blur) is creamy. But this is a good explanation (in the video) for beginners. Just as a rule, the farther your subject is from the background, the more blurred the background will be when your f-stops are lower (like f/2.8 or f/4).
Having just taken up, in the last 2 days, photography as a hobby, and purchasing a cheap Fujifilm camera, with NO knowledge, I found this extremely helpful, I will look at at your full tutorial soon, many thanks!
I love how you transitioned into explaining the Shutter Priority mode and there are people moving in the background! Gives the watchers a glimpse of what is it about. This vid is very helpful even though I’m an amateur shooting for 3 yrs already! I’m still learning things I didn’t know before
I mostly use aperture mode, that's what I learned when I was young and used analog cameras. I've used shutter mode a few times when shooting running water and waves,
As a lifetime AUTO user, I find this video easy to understand and well done. I would like to get more out of my photos but have the fear of not having the optimal settings and thereby having poor results on a once in a lifetime vacation. I will look at some of your other videos. Thank you.
There are not excuses to learn photography when you have a good tutorial video from professionals. I'm fascinated with photography and I wanna thank you for such basic and accurate advice. Subscribing.
5 years later, still relevant, still well done. Thanks. I like using shutter priority for waterfall shots. Both a very slow and a very fast shutter make for nice waterfall shots.
The comparison shots are very instructive. I think it would help a little more if you also compared (for example) those 3 shots of different shutter speeds to what one would get with just the AUTO mode. Thus illustrating why you want to use other than AUTO.

Finally a practical video about the two most important auto modes. This video speaks to the main topic I teach to anyone who asks for help. In fact, I don't even begin to teach them until they have a clear understanding as to how these two modes work on their specific camera. Now I can just point them to your video and I won't have to train them anymore. Woohoo! Thanks for a quite concise treatise of a very important camera use topic.
I grew up using 35mm film cameras that were fully manual like the Pentax K1000 (Brick). I read books on depth of field and that was a good explanation. Also your description of shutter speeds was spot on. Don't forget to pan with your subject at lower shutter speeds.
My (now quite old!) Fuji XE1 has been a joy to use and re-learn the basics of photography. I use it with manual lenses now and you get the instant effect of aperture and speed on my photos. As a teenager, I would keep a notebook and take note of settings and corresponding frame numbers.. tough old days! Recommend experimenting and making mistakes -especially without the expense of film.
ive been struggling with understanding this concpet for ages and as a result never been off auto... finally a clear easy to digest explanation with examples you can try..... i feel like ive levelled up today!
Hi, In just the short time I have watched this video, I feel this is has been very helpful to a relative beginner of photography such as myself. Cheers, keep up the good work!
Explanation can't be better than this ...Great Tutorial ..I don't own a DSLR but even I can teach this now.Thanks sir .. Perfect combination of Knowledge , Teaching Skills, Background Music , Frame settings ....and so on ..👌
Love the up front value! Best of luck with your course, you're a real pro! I've been shooting for over 20 years, love my D1X old school. Your videos have inspired me to shoot more creatively and maybe buy a new camera. Thank you 🙏
D1x has one disatvantage (from my point of view of D2x user for over a decade) once you get used to PRO gear, it is hard to step down :D For me it was from D2x to D800 - everything is better in new generations but the feeling, battery life, controls etc - it is not there ;) If you gonna go for new (used) camera, think about this too ;)
I'm new to photography. I started less than a month ago, purchasing a canon rebel t7. It's funny because I started on "P" and quickly transitioned to "manual." Occasionally, I'll go "priority," usually shutter because my hands shake a lot. But I learned to use the viewer scope, so I press my face against the camera to stabilize the camera. Now I'm trying to do more aperture priority when I'm not on manual.
I have been a photographer since the late 60s. I use aperture priority for ACTION photography. I'll set my f-stop low, and my camera will correspond with the highest possible shutter speed for the available light...perfect for capturing the race horse hooves off the ground coming down to the finish line.
Then you are doing it wrong technically speaking you should use TV for action photography since the shutter speed is the main thing you want But I understand you are used to working like this and know what AV value will give you the best shutter speed... but for people who are beginning... you should use TV mode for action photography
@@maartenvandenberg160 Technically, I'm getting the highest shutter speed I can for my shooting situation. Using TV (or SP in Nikon-speak) I could run into not enough aperture for the chosen speed.

I'm an aviation photographer and I've only ever used Aperture Priority and Manual. I've never used anything else on my D3400. Aperture priority is what I use 99% of the time. The other 1% is manual. I imagine I'd use shutter priority for some stuff at airshows.
This video completely changed the way I use my camera off the auto mode. Thank you for a simple way of explaining how to take pictures the way it should be taken. I have ordered your videos and advise all to take Mark’s courses. Worth the investment guys!
For 30 years, I shot over 500 weddings with a battery free Hasselblad that only shot in manual. I also shot live-action hockey in manual for 10 years. It’s not that complicated if you take the time to learn how. I tell the camera what to do.
I've noticed that the majority of people I've watched on TH-cam suggest that using Aperture Priority be used even more than that of Manual. I think it's because it reduces the time to compose the image and not have to mess around too much with the other dials on our DSLR.
You are such a good teacher. I am so happy that I found your videos. I have been to six African Safaris and have taken more then 20,000 pictures, some very very great pictures but I am still learning. There is No Stop for learning in photography, at least for me. I am going to Botswana in 2020 and your simple and straight forward techniques are going to be helpful to me to capture some more amazing wildlife pictures. Thank You very much for your free tutorials.
This video is really simple & easy to understand, I started photography 1993 on Minolta Dynax 7000i hoping to always have a nice photo, but its not...keep the camera on cabinet until broken. 2009 decided to get a DSLR Canon 500D hoping to have nice photo due to digital world, but its not..gave away the camera to my nephew. I enrolled Digital Camera Mastery of Photography Pro last January 2021, now I can enjoy & always having fun with my point & shoot Sony RX100(M1) camera, almost looking forward to a new place for photowalk..Thank you Mark Hemmings..
Camera Users' manuals cover all this in the opening chapters. Aperture priority is the most important. Find a lab test of your lens and see what F stop yields the sharpest image. On most lenses, F/8 or F/11 yields the highest resolution and freedom from aberrations. I never rely on auto focus. Rather, I use depth of field tables for outdoor photography, where maximum sharpness is required from foreground to infinity. Street photographers have camera set before the subject appears, so they lose no time making adjustments. Better to capture the 'decisive moment' than let it slip away fumbling with knobs. On digital cameras, a good rule for quick capture is to set aperture to F/16 and shutter at 1/500th with ISO at 400-500 in bright sunlight. These tips have worked well for me in 80+ years behind the camera. I shoot both film and digital and find I concentrate more on film and, therefore, get better results. But it may just be a lifetime with film cameras is ingrained in me.
So nicely presented, Thanks a lot Mark. I forwarded this video to my friend and after years of using only Auto mode now she has gained the confidence to use the aperture and other buttons!!!
Very good contribution. This video is how any educational-focused contributions should be. Right to the point. Highlighting the identified points that he will talk about and then expanding to explain the reasons why this approach will result in the solution. I am ways surprised how many such videos get lost in a lengthy introduction explaining why the presenter has chosen this topic etc. to the point when it is simply becoming too boring to continue to listen.
This is a very helpful video, It really gives the information that a beginner really needs. Thanks for the clear and straightforward informations. More power! :)
Just what I wanted to know, this video has given me the knowledge of using digital cameras as this is my first attempt at photography. Thanks a lot, and I will be back to see more of your vids.
I just stepped into the photography world with a new Sony A7iii and this has helped me tremendously! Very easy to follow and understand....greatly appreciate you explaining these tips
Superb description with actual photo examples along with a great personality makes this the perfect beginner video. I'll be Checking out more of your work. Thanks
Mark, since taking your Photography Pro course a few months back, I haven't used my auto mode except for videos. Great advice and direction. Thank you.
By far the best tutorials on youtube. I'd just like to say thanks. Just recently I made the transition from filming with my Samsung phone to a Canon t7i and your videos have helped so much in understanding my camera
Thanks. Bought expensive cameras before and most of the time i used my smartphone instead. Now i am excited to learn with a new nikon d3500. To look like a pro, do you sling your camera behind or in front you. I will buy a safari hat.

OMG Thank youuuuu! I could never make the connection between the manual modes and what they do and how to use them for best effect. This really broke it down for me and honestly gave me the breakthrough I've been searching for.
very informative but mastering ALL the camera modes is good INCLUDING "P" Mode and yes you can change both shutter and aperture whilst in P mode the only thing I never use is AUTO ISO

@@vernonsmith6176 I see, thanks for the reply! :-)
@@kishan__ch__ you welcome....
Program is Auto mode gives less manual control but allows camera to use settings for a quick photo but at a reletavely slow shutter speed.

I'm an aviation photographer and I've only ever used Aperture Priority and Manual. I've never used anything else on my D3400. Aperture priority is what I use 99% of the time. The other 1% is manual. I imagine I'd use shutter priority for some stuff at airshows.
This video completely changed the way I use my camera off the auto mode. Thank you for a simple way of explaining how to take pictures the way it should be taken. I have ordered your videos and advise all to take Mark’s courses. Worth the investment guys!
For 30 years, I shot over 500 weddings with a battery free Hasselblad that only shot in manual. I also shot live-action hockey in manual for 10 years. It’s not that complicated if you take the time to learn how. I tell the camera what to do.
Finally Understood the 2 shooting modes, really understandable content. Thank you.
I've noticed that the majority of people I've watched on TH-cam suggest that using Aperture Priority be used even more than that of Manual. I think it's because it reduces the time to compose the image and not have to mess around too much with the other dials on our DSLR.
You are such a good teacher. I am so happy that I found your videos. I have been to six African Safaris and have taken more then 20,000 pictures, some very very great pictures but I am still learning. There is No Stop for learning in photography, at least for me. I am going to Botswana in 2020 and your simple and straight forward techniques are going to be helpful to me to capture some more amazing wildlife pictures. Thank You very much for your free tutorials.
This video is really simple & easy to understand, I started photography 1993 on Minolta Dynax 7000i hoping to always have a nice photo, but its not...keep the camera on cabinet until broken. 2009 decided to get a DSLR Canon 500D hoping to have nice photo due to digital world, but its not..gave away the camera to my nephew. I enrolled Digital Camera Mastery of Photography Pro last January 2021, now I can enjoy & always having fun with my point & shoot Sony RX100(M1) camera, almost looking forward to a new place for photowalk..Thank you Mark Hemmings..
That's great to hear, Hafa! :)
Camera Users' manuals cover all this in the opening chapters. Aperture priority is the most important. Find a lab test of your lens and see what F stop yields the sharpest image. On most lenses, F/8 or F/11 yields the highest resolution and freedom from aberrations. I never rely on auto focus. Rather, I use depth of field tables for outdoor photography, where maximum sharpness is required from foreground to infinity. Street photographers have camera set before the subject appears, so they lose no time making adjustments. Better to capture the 'decisive moment' than let it slip away fumbling with knobs. On digital cameras, a good rule for quick capture is to set aperture to F/16 and shutter at 1/500th with ISO at 400-500 in bright sunlight. These tips have worked well for me in 80+ years behind the camera. I shoot both film and digital and find I concentrate more on film and, therefore, get better results. But it may just be a lifetime with film cameras is ingrained in me.
So nicely presented, Thanks a lot Mark. I forwarded this video to my friend and after years of using only Auto mode now she has gained the confidence to use the aperture and other buttons!!!
Perfect video for learning. I don't have time for manual mode. Thank you
Great to see you here. I hope you're enjoying india! :D
Chai piya bhai
You should really make time for photography, regardless of partiality to camera modes. 😷🌈
Big fan sir ✌🏼✨
Oh man. It takes 20 min to learn how manual mode works. How dumb can anyone be
Very good contribution. This video is how any educational-focused contributions should be. Right to the point. Highlighting the identified points that he will talk about and then expanding to explain the reasons why this approach will result in the solution. I am ways surprised how many such videos get lost in a lengthy introduction explaining why the presenter has chosen this topic etc. to the point when it is simply becoming too boring to continue to listen.
This is a very helpful video, It really gives the information that a beginner really needs. Thanks for the clear and straightforward informations. More power! :)
Just what I wanted to know, this video has given me the knowledge of using digital cameras as this is my first attempt at photography. Thanks a lot, and I will be back to see more of your vids.
I just stepped into the photography world with a new Sony A7iii and this has helped me tremendously! Very easy to follow and understand....greatly appreciate you explaining these tips
If you didn't know how to use this modes before buying a Full frame camera, I guess sony's marketing department did a good job :D
Same here 👍
Superb description with actual photo examples along with a great personality makes this the perfect beginner video. I'll be Checking out more of your work. Thanks

I'm mobile photographer but I really enjoyed your work !! Thank you
Mark, since taking your Photography Pro course a few months back, I haven't used my auto mode except for videos. Great advice and direction. Thank you.
Every second on this video is precious
By far the best tutorials on youtube. I'd just like to say thanks. Just recently I made the transition from filming with my Samsung phone to a Canon t7i and your videos have helped so much in understanding my camera
Thanks. Bought expensive cameras before and most of the time i used my smartphone instead. Now i am excited to learn with a new nikon d3500. To look like a pro, do you sling your camera behind or in front you. I will buy a safari hat.
Excellent tutorial for a beginner like myself. Clear & easy to comprehend; Thanks mate.

Great video ! Very well explained and a lovely soft voice 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
OMG Thank youuuuu! I could never make the connection between the manual modes and what they do and how to use them for best effect. This really broke it down for me and honestly gave me the breakthrough I've been searching for.
Glad you found it useful! :)
very informative but mastering ALL the camera modes is good INCLUDING "P" Mode and yes you can change both shutter and aperture whilst in P mode the only thing I never use is AUTO ISO
This is one of the best demonstrations of shutter and appeture settings, really easy to follow... Thanks
