    Hey Paul, Merry Christmas. To be honest, there's no need to rush things to get inside 10 minutes. I have never been bored or lost interest with your videos. Take your time and don't rush it. I am sure others will feel the same. Cheers mate.

      If it is over 10 minutes the monetary compensation is also greater, so to keep it short is shooting yourself into the foot.
      I found it reasonably paced but I am not sure whether the switching from C to N is the best option. Maybe use one camera and explain the controls of the other in a block at the end.

  • @shizenjapan
    @shizenjapan Před 2 lety

    Great video for beginners to learn. However as for the Nikon especially like the D7500 which I have it has far more settings on it and a touch screen. It has 2 dials and double set of menus, etc. So some of what you said is very useful, but wanted you to be aware that not all Nikon cameras function exactly the same. The cheaper ones tend to need to access the menu where as the camera I have everything can be changed with the dials and buttons easily. I understand you are just teaching the basic tips of which you have done very well. But a tip for future videos is to maybe mention the fact the the number of features and how you adjust those settings etc vary even between the same manufacturer. I also have a D5300 and while that is a more basic camera it is less quick and easy to use. Less buttons, less dials and position of some of the buttons are different also. The D7500 is way easier as all the main settings can be easily adjusted while looking through the viewfinder. First time to come across your channel. But enjoyable viewing. All the best.

    @hectorrobles2 Před 2 lety

    Hi Paul, thank you so much for all your tips. I always loved photography but for about 20 years I have not touched a camera. My son handed me down his Canon T6 camera and I have been attempting to take macro photography. I went out today and was taking photos of lowers when tiny small fly landed right on the flower directly in my frame but i got to excited and my photo came out blurry. I also made the mistake of moving the camera and scared it away. I have a question, is there anyway of correcting the unfocused image unfortunately i was only able to capture one photo :( I waited around for 15 minutes to see if it would return but to no avail.
    Thanks for any tips you may have.

    I got a canon t7 for Christmas with the kit lens. Should I buy the 75 to 300mm next or the nifty fifty? I like taking landscape photography but I would also love to get into portrait photography and maybe some nighttime street photography. Unfortunately with the holidays just passing I will only have the money to choose one soon.

    • @photogenius
      @photogenius  Před 2 lety

      I would go for the 50mm, great for portraits and performs well in low light.

    Paul, would like to get your opinion on a purchase I want to make.. I want to retire my canon XTI and want to purchase either a canon 90d or Canon R... With the R a little more in price, that's one consideration.. My concern are the lenses I have.. I have the canon nifty 50 1.8 w/ Voltrox speed booster, for my M50, ( most of my work is with my M50), and I have adapter for my lenses.. I have canon 10mm-18mm, canon 18mm-55mm 2.8, and Sigma 70mm-200mm 2.8..w/2X booster. I realize the R has an R mount and I can purchase an R adapter for my lenses. I would consider myself an advance amateur! I love shooting street photography... Don't really shoot video, if i do shoot video, it's a non professional and very little.. Finally getting to the question i want to ask you. Do you think i'm going to be satisfied with results of my lenses if i purchase an R camera? Or should i purchase the 90d? I do realize that canon is talking about eliminating the DSLR, and I don't know if this should be a factor in my purchase of the Canon 90d. I would value your professional opinion.. Thank you...

    I have a really bad knee, and within the last year of getting low its made it worse. I get down and cant get back up, and then the knee is messed up for weeks after. I got to learn to sit and not lay, or kneel. But that loses a lot of better shots.

      Not being snarky, I sympathize, look for a tabletop tripod that you can set on the ground, or if your tripod has a center mast that can be removed and inserted from below, that will give you a lower perspective. There are wired/wireless shutter releases available,or some cell phone cameras have audible commands. Plus, the standard tripod will possibly aid in standing up again...ask me how I know...LOL
