Peter McKinnon thank u for making videos it helps allot I turned 12 yesterday and I asked for a canon eos 200d and I am so happy I got it and thanks to u I now know how to take amazing photos. I was also wondering how you take photos in log settings so it’s easier to colour grade
Matti is walking behind him at the first handoff and just grabs the camera as peter continues to his desk (or matti could have been holding it the whole time), then as Peter takes the camera back and rotates 180°, Matti has to move quickly to stay behind the camera, grabbing it again allowing Peter to free his hands. Very nicely done! Peter/Matti did you get it in one take? Would love to see bloopers in some of your videos.
The post effects in this video are phenomenal. Incredibly smooth and seamless in your movement, and paired with the sound design from this video, it might be one of my favorite tutorials you've ever made. Super entertaining. :)
The first time I touched a professional camera was 3 days ago when I picked up a Canon Rebel T6 from my college's media center. The last three days have been filled with play and watching your Basics videos. Because of your videos, I feel extremely confident that I'm having a photo shoot for a project today! Thank you so much Peter.
Those who had to learn it from scratch are able to teach it from scratch. Super clutch to have this all in a beginner friendly form, no matter where you're at. You're the man.
I've tried watching so many other youtuber's explain the camera basics and I have to say you have the best way of explaining how to use a camera. Your videos are very entertaining to watch in a way that makes it fun to use my camera. Best photographer on youtube is Peter McKinnon... By far.
I’ll explain EXOPSURE ...... it’s when there’s a lot of light inside your brain but you can’t enlighten the equipment . Therefore you need an exopsure which is a product available online but only between the hours of 6am and 5pm usually people want to buy it but sometimes you can’t buy light because the Time is not right . Sometimes it’s even FREE of cost!! Maybe wake up when you feel like sleeping . I love teaching exopsure I learnt it in oxford University back in Texas 🙄
Pete I had to stop watching mid video to tell you that the motion graphics/ after effects in this are just INSANE! So good! I’ve watched (99% sure) every video of yours on TH-cam; it’s so freaking cool to see how you’ve implemented more and more elements. You my sir, are a king!
Same too. Used to have a camera back then. Canon or something. Never get to learn, cause I was forced to take pictures of my mom while traveling without learning the basics. Now I had those memories I can remember, the angles my mom want me to take pictures are too much😂
Amazing, the very first video actually got me into photography. Never learnt so much from a single video. Now I even have my own channel because of you, so thanks for being such a great help. Excited to watch this!!
Jesus Christ the perfect Son of God lived a perfect life and died as a sacrifice to pay for your sin which the penalty of sin is death and he rose from the grave and conquered death and offers salvation and Paradise in heaven if you repent of your sin. believe in him and put your faith and hope in him, if you do this you will be given the Holy Spirit which is the literal precance of God to help and guide you!
Night photography, Fireworks, basic settings for shooting in the conditions - also difference between low light and other light settings and how to adjust to these
It's not physically where the sensor is, the symbol represents which depth within the camera body it's located. The sensor is of course physically located behind the mirror or lens but at the depth indicated by the symbol.
It is so cool how much more creative you can be since you got an editor. You guys have been taking those after effects to the next level. Whomever you got compliments your skills perfect. Keep it up man!
I'm actually curious who it is, as I saw a video from a while back that he was going to hire someone via a contest but I couldn't find the follow up video. 😊
various times i just want to give up because no matter how hard i tried, how much effort i put into making my videos.. how patient i had been.. no one seems to be interested... but everytime i watch your videos..they somehow were able to magically pull me back and tell me to try again..I just hope i can keep on getting better and someone will finally notice it and show my channel some love...
Man, really love the small details, bringing up the camera settings in text and the tracking and the sound and shutter effects. All just works perfectly together and makes the video even more captivating than it already is !
I stopped using manual focus a long time ago. Too many photos uploaded to lightroom, that I THOUGHT were focused, but to my unpleasant surprise, were not in focus. I cant trust my eyes!! Great video!! Thanks for explaining white balance in english! And the different focus methods! -Gil
Hey man, just wanted to reach out and say thank you! I am just starting out with my Cannon T7i and I have learned a ton from your videos. You have a wealth of knowledge and your videos are packed with new things for me to try and think about. I have some experience in editing but have never gotten behind the camera myself until recently. I turned 30 this year and money was always an issue I felt that kept me away from my new found obsession. Through your content you inspired me to just take the plunge and not be scared to get out there and start taking shots. I appreciate the work you do and for the community. You have DEFINITELY gained another subscriber and I look forward to future content!
Is nobody going to appreciate that first badass minute of the video....where the camera is literally placed in mid air.....in continuous shot....hot DAMNN.!!
I did a whole portrait photoshoot yesterday on manual focus. A good way I learned how to use it was using the screen instead of looking through the viewfinder. I would look at the screen find my subject (person's face) click on the zoom-in button (on the top corner of the camera which is also what you use to find focus point for autofocus) find where my subject is and move the focus on the lens until my subject looked sharp then I would shoot the picture.
@@rafaelpereira1074 He could use fake camera movement in post. I think it was a 2 person job. Matti Haapoja shooting in this office too, so I think he helped him a little bit with intro
After years of watching you and you teaching me about video I am now rewatching videos because I want to learn more about photography! Damn I miss this old studio, Nostalgia!
So great hearing this from a professional! I always wondered why so many people say they do manual focus and it's the only right thing! My eye CANNOT see whether something is in precise focus or not - until I blast it up on the computer. And by then it is too late for sure.
Another amazingly awesome tutorial - I would watch these just for the entertainment value - all the incredible information you pass on is like super fudge icing on top. Can't wait until we see Basics 3 - Thank you for your willingness to share your knowledge and experience - greatly appreciated.
*anyone with a more serious glasses prescription* "challenge accepted. Ever since I had to start wearing glasses manual focus is the bane of my existence. I have a fear of manual focus 😂 maybe focus peaking on a full sensor sony. Maaaaybe.
CAMERA BASICS 3: The fundamentals of controlling light - Creating/Using aesthetic lighting for: 1. A person's face. 2. An object 3. A street photo 4. A landscape 5. Indoor vlogging light
What I do using manual focus that helps a lot is using your zoom button and clicking it once or twice (depending how far the subject it) adjust the focus and then press zoom out and it’s in focus! Takes two seconds and is a quick way to make sure what you’re focusing on in in focus :)
almost all mirrorless cameras have Focus magnification and focus peaking the idea is you target focus mag once or twice depending on how critical you need to focus, peaking works by adding colored pixels in the focus area so you know exactly where you are. Im only manual focusing, to be more specific I don't own any autofocus lenses and once i used it i did not like it , i felt I was shooting with a smartphone ,there is a special thing about manual focusing there is a slowed down process you compose plan your shot and the final outcome is so much more rewarding .
Love everything you said here. I have to disagree with you on recomposing your shots after locking focus. I used to think that my subject would stay in focus until a friend showed me how the geometry of focusing and recomposing will change the distance from where you lock focus and where the lens is in relation to the subject bc you will move slightly as you move your camera to recompose thereby creating sort of a triangle between the subject, where your camera is when you lock focus and then the 3rd point when you recompose. Until that time I never moved my focus points around to compose my shots the first time. Anyway - loving the channel! Keep it up!
Just found your channel, thank you so so much for an informative, genuinely helpful video. Your explanations are extremely clear and also creative. Starting to love your channel! Keep up the good work!
I'm so grateful for these videos. There's a lot of videos out there explaining camera and photography basics. But a video made by a photographer that you really admire, whos personality and style you're already somewhat familiar with and enjoy, makes all of these concepts not only easier to understand but more engaging as well. I wouldn't put myself in the complete beginner column but I definitely have a lot to learn and there has been a wealth of knowledge in both of these videos.
I'm a software engineer pasionate by photography and you are helping me a lot to grow my experience in that. my focus is to someday become a professional one. Thx so much, Peter
i have some in instagram @prschorn . I work as a software engineer for 4 years now, but i see myself in a moment that i can't do that anymore, i need to start doing something that really brings me joy
Would like to see landscape compositions techniques for the next topic. Night photography, galaxy photography and long exposed waterfalls are something that comes to my mind as well.
I had to rewatch it like 5 times. How in the world! Is he using a tripod that he’s carrying around and then introducing shake in post when it’s standing still on the floor? I guess I’ll just have to keep watching.
Watch his Camera Basics part 1 video. He explains shutter speed and aperture in that video. If you understand what those mean, then shutter priority mode means that you can set the shutter speed yourself and the camera will automatically set all the other settings for you to give you a well-exposed image. Aperture priority works the same way. You set the aperture and the camera figures out the rest. Manual mode means you are in control of everything and nothing is left automatic for the camera to figure out for you. Make sense?
Thank you sooo much for the explanation, this is my first time watching your videos cause I’m planing to get a mirrorless to mark my life with some pics and videos. And your videos for the basics are exactly what I need right now. Btw if you coffee is cold you can heat it up in the microwave...
I love these videos so much! I'm learning so much from your channel, Peter! I love hearing that you use mainly autofocus. As a total noob, I was questioning if manual was something that you wanted to master to be a pro. Thanks so much ^____^.
If manual mode: check out "Focus peaking" on your Digital Camera while in Manual mode. Really helped me get it into focus. specifically on my Sony A6300
Hey peter,recently my dad gave me one of his hands down camera sigma sd14 because I took an interest in photography recently. I’m quite new to this whole photography thing so should I use the camera to start or use another different camera because someone told me that it’s hard to use it.(anyone are free to give suggestions) I’m open to any advice or tips. Thanks and sorry for the long question. 😄😄
I’m a beginner. Haven’t bought my camera yet, you have explained everything that i needed to know, camera basics 3 will definitely help. Can you explain taking pictures at night or pitch black areas
I've just brought a Canon EOS 6D Mark II so these videos are great for me! I had a camera before, but haven't done photography in a few years so this is a good refresher
damn, too early to be tripped out with the camera movements in the intro! LOL! i thought someone was holding it.. then i thought it was on a tripod.. well damn..
Dude, I love your videos! You inspired me to buy my first SLR-camera just a couple days agoo. Thank you for being an inspiration & for all the tips/tricks!
You’re so fuckin good with explaining these “camera basics”, which also shows you understand them very well. 1 thing I have to say is “Camera Basics!” (The first one) is less “Basic” than this one for sure. The numbers are better switched. Again, you’re so good at this. I would love a 3rd part. I subscribed after watching these two.
Hey Peter First of all I love all of your content and what you can do with an 2000$ camera ! But I am 16 and if I wanted to buy an set up you use I probably had to work 2 years just for one part. So why don’t you make something like the 2 Minute Monday and show things you can do with an canon EOS 100 to show that you don’t have to have the best camera to create awesome shots. Because in the most of your videos you use things like the raw Modus in the camera to be able to work with the picture afterwards better in the adobe programs but the most low budget cameras don’t have that modus. Still love what you do !
I like making these :)
please do keep making these :) thanks for the epic content :)

My heart falls every time you leave the camera how did u do it ?
WOWWWWW!!!! First 30 seconds are amazing!! I try to understand how you do it.....small details make the difference!
he was carrying the camera already attached to a tripod and applied a fake camera movement right after he put it down
Matti obv
Maybe a monopod? Though it could be matti...
it does look like fake camera movement, i feel like you're on to something here

Uh that is FAR FROM a professional camera. Decent prosumer but not pro my friend.

Right man, those were some amazing after effects. BTW u have any idea how he did those? I am very new to video editing so just curious..
After effect, Motion tracking with a null object, you attach an object/composition/Shape layer to the null in 3D, done :)
Peter is very good at what he does and I love those efects in the tracking that he does, it is right on the money 💰
Oishik Goswami Peter did a tutorial about it bud. After Effects Tutorial , check it out
I think Peter got an editor now, so that might be him doing theses, what I like the most is the used of sound with it, it's pretty well done!
The intro choreography was sleek! Those "under-the-rug" techniques are gold! Keep em coming!
I've learned a lot from your videos. The only thing preventing me from getting into photography is buying a camera. 😂😂😂

Thank you sooo much for the explanation, this is my first time watching your videos cause I’m planing to get a mirrorless to mark my life with some pics and videos. And your videos for the basics are exactly what I need right now. Btw if you coffee is cold you can heat it up in the microwave...
I love these videos so much! I'm learning so much from your channel, Peter! I love hearing that you use mainly autofocus. As a total noob, I was questioning if manual was something that you wanted to master to be a pro. Thanks so much ^____^.
Yes, do a video on the science behind the sensor! Engineering students want this
As an ARG fan, I can't wait to uncover the next part of the game, I'm so ready :).
This is a really dope video. I've learned the basics that should help you a lot!
If manual mode: check out "Focus peaking" on your Digital Camera while in Manual mode.
Really helped me get it into focus. specifically on my Sony A6300
Same, it’s not perfect but it helps a lot on my G7
To play a game. Yes. What a great hook. Lepiten just drove this video up by how many hundreds of views? Brilliant.
Hey peter,recently my dad gave me one of his hands down camera sigma sd14 because I took an interest in photography recently. I’m quite new to this whole photography thing so should I use the camera to start or use another different camera because someone told me that it’s hard to use it.(anyone are free to give suggestions) I’m open to any advice or tips. Thanks and sorry for the long question. 😄😄
Love those sound effects you give for your action..like shutter sound..focus and white balance thing with the video brilliance
That intro had me trippin! Really cool, Thanks for the new ideas Peter
how many people works on those videos??? I mean.... that editing and stuff... Amazing
Just him I think
I started using manual focus on my phone because of focus peaking, makes life *much more* easier
I’m a beginner. Haven’t bought my camera yet, you have explained everything that i needed to know, camera basics 3 will definitely help. Can you explain taking pictures at night or pitch black areas
"rooms aren't going to run away from you" 😂😂
Waiting for camera basics 3 ✨✨
I don´t need these tips anymore but I watch this video anyway just because your videos are AMAZING - just DOPE!
I've just brought a Canon EOS 6D Mark II so these videos are great for me! I had a camera before, but haven't done photography in a few years so this is a good refresher
Metering Modes. Was hoping for Metering Modes.
CAMERA BASICS 3, can we please talk about metering, exposure compensation and focus points. 🙏🏾
damn, too early to be tripped out with the camera movements in the intro! LOL! i thought someone was holding it.. then i thought it was on a tripod.. well damn..
Muahahaha. Refill that coffee!
Dude, I love your videos! You inspired me to buy my first SLR-camera just a couple days agoo.
Thank you for being an inspiration & for all the tips/tricks!
Didn't even watch the video but liked already. 😂⚡
Haha love that
Jervinho same here. it’s like you already know this will be a really good video.
Jervinho hahaha... I think it happens to all of us who follow Peter
I'm here to play the game too, Kirk and Peter. (from May 2019)
0:09 the Chair
YES!!! Scientific White Balance
Thank you for your amazing videos. I like cold coffee too but I found a Contigo is impressive at keeping coffee warm.
Him on his first day: “Should I take the battery out”
Me: “wait a battery?”
When you say photography I say in my mind,”I like photography but I’m more of a vlog person”
“Should I take the battery out” that’s what I said at my beginnings
You’re so fuckin good with explaining these “camera basics”, which also shows you understand them very well. 1 thing I have to say is “Camera Basics!” (The first one) is less “Basic” than this one for sure. The numbers are better switched. Again, you’re so good at this. I would love a 3rd part. I subscribed after watching these two.
*Those edits are just* 😍
Hey Peter
First of all I love all of your content and what you can do with an 2000$ camera !
But I am 16 and if I wanted to buy an set up you use I probably had to work 2 years just for one part.
So why don’t you make something like the 2 Minute Monday and show things you can do with an canon EOS 100 to show that you don’t have to have the best camera to create awesome shots.
Because in the most of your videos you use things like the raw Modus in the camera to be able to work with the picture afterwards better in the adobe programs but the most low budget cameras don’t have that modus.
Still love what you do !
Most of what he teaches can be applied to any camera any brand any price.
I would love to see the blooper-reel from that intro ;)
Fredric Rosén me too 😂😂
I know this is 3 years old, but thank you very much Peter for making this tutorial. The best and most fun teacher on photography ever on TH-cam.
