What are your favourite short tips for beginner photographers?
Focus modes and learning how to use them properly was one of the biggest things holding my work down when I started I think.
Get acquainted with a little color theory. Can go a long way with direction for editing. For example, teals and oranges are almost an unbeatable combo, after you find out where your comfort is after some practice.
Don't shoot crooked pictures 🙌🏻
Imagination, no ‘rights’ or ‘wrongs,’ and ‘Practice makes Perfect!’ 🤔🙏🏾
2:22 Are you talking full frame cameras as well, no? Because from what I know, on crop sensor that shutter speed should also multiplied with the crop factor, for example a 24mm on a 1.5 crop should need at least 1/50s. You could tell these in the videos also, because your videos are great, but we have different cameras here. :)
"It's about being able to pick up good compositions in seemingly boring places" wisely spoken!
A true believer. Your shirt says it all - less is more. Thanks for the great content, Pat!
hahah i love me a good plain shirt
I definitely need to learn how to not over editing. Love your channel and tips
this was especially hard for me at the beginning because i love experimenting so much! but over time you learn what that limit is. don't worry, you'll get it! :)
Really great page! Really helpful content & your soothing voice/accent makes your videos even easier to watch!
thank you for these vital information PAT ! More power to you.
I’ve been watching your videos for the past 2 days and my photos have been coming out great!!! As well as my understand of photography has grown because of you, thank you man!
Love your honesty, thanks for sharing your thoughts and suggestions
Deff one of my favorite photo youtubers, thanks for all the great content!
Thank you so much. I subscribed yesterday. I am studying Film and directing soon and although your channel is about photography i feel like its so helpful for me.
This is very helpful. Thank you!
Thanks a lot! Great tips 🔥 love your work
Definitely guilty of going too hard on the shutter. Love your content Pat!
Thank you for your time. Great tips.
This is good Pat! You're channel is really good. It's definitely going to blow up
A gift to new photographers thank you 🙌
Great vid Pat. I hope to see your channel grow in 2021. I wanna see more Hokkaido photography in the future.
thanks for watching! hopefully i can make some more! i really love hokkaido
This is very helpful. Thank you.
Great Video and Tips Pat Kay! Especially love about the last tip - It's all about the Photographer's eyes, taste and life experience (I would love to add...) It's about the inner side of an individual and how a person perceives and appreciate things in life or from the world
that’s it!! you get it ☺️
Peace, This video was very helpful. Thank you for the wonderful tips and point of perspective.
Wow. Your videos are so helpful. 🥰
Great tips, I find the fear of #3 hard to balance with #2 sometimes
Great guy.. thanks so much
I love your style, your channel and your web. Man, you are doing great.
appreciate you! thanks!
Big Thanks Patkay. I watched couple of your videos and I've learnt things from them. ☺☺ Please can you make a video on "image composition" and maybe tips and tricks to composing images? The art visual language...We will really love that! Thank you
Another great content, congrats! Also, I'm using your presets and man, they are amazing! Thank you 😃
glad you dig them man!
Excellent video! Glad I came across your channel. Very useful content and information. I’m too fast taking photos, I have to make a conscious effort to slow down.. This is very difficult for me.
awesome content , very knowledgeable
Excellent content. 👍
Really helpful tips! I feel called out with the first one as I tend to produce "complex" images. Definitely something to keep in mind for now!
thank you! and good luck with simplifying!
Thanks for the tips and for keeping it short. I'm guilty of these myself, will try to be more conscious while out there with my camera.
good luck and all the best with your shots!
Hey amazing video! i was wondering if you could make a video about what to have in mind when buying a camera? different specifications to have in mind, it's good to buy a used camera? etc.
Great content!!
superb video...very good tips
Thanks a lot for these tips!
my pleasure! 😊
The over and under editing is what I find myself struggling with on street photography, especially here in Vancouver where there are too many tall buildings creating shadows that mess up a shot, yet at the same time in some places the sunlight is completely blown out. Oof! Great tips though indeed! I really do need to learn to slow down and stop worrying about getting that 'one' great shot. 😅
Nailed it with the 'less is more'. Well, at least for my preferences. I often see incredible landscape photos, and for practice, I copy them, then crop and edit them to how I would have finished them off. Others have a better eye for composition that I do, but I think I can take a great photo and get more out of it than some much better photographers than me.
Really great tips broski!
cheers broski!
Thanks
Thanks again for the tutorial
my pleasure!
Great tips thank you ❤❤
my pleasure! thanks for watching! ☺️
thats was cool. thank for the tips
thanks for watching!
Love your long videos. Please share your knowledge in longer format as you do
I don't understand why you don't have millions of subscribers
you convinced me to learn editing
You got all the points perfectly
I like your video information
4 seconds under time...impressive! Good tips.
Great tips Pat! I especially have to stop going crazy with the shutter button, it gives me a headache when importing to Lightroom.
it took me quite a while to get out of that habit too many years ago! your hard drive will thank you though 😂
nice tips...
This is all good!
The Basics! “Simplify! - Watch the shutter speed! - Nail the focus! Especially nail the focus. Blurry pics just don’t cut it. Razor sharp; colorful (unless the intent is a monochrome vision, obviously). A clear and uncluttered subject. That’s what we see in the best work, over and over. And finally - it’s not about the gear! Yay!
Great video,!!!.What about Sports photography please.
Such great reminders, and very encouraging to understand the process a bit more. What recommendations do you have for developing your photographic "eye" or "vision"? What visual exercises can help with being able to "see" photos and developing that area of the craft? Thanks.
there's a bunch of stuff; videos that i'll be making in the future for sure. in the meantime, i've written a bunch of articles on my site that you can check out! patkay.com.
@@patkay Thank you. The blog content is indeed very helpful!
For your street photography, do you normally have your camera in Manual Mode or Aperture Priority? Thanks.
Oh god, i make all of them except 1-blur image, thank for tips :)
Subbed
What is your take on going to hard on the shutter for portraits? Beneficial? I tend to over shoot as to not miss that “moment”
hi mate can i know where you get those sony red button??
Thanks :)
great video pat! thanks for this one
off topic but I was curious, in every video (where you're also featured) about editing you keep saying that "color calibration needs it's own video" and you dont want to go to deep into that but when is this color calibration video coming? I cant wait :p
great question! honestly i don't get a lot of requests for this kind of video, and i've got a lot more other videos on the way, so i guess the answer is, i'm not sure! haha. if i get more requests for it then i'll do it sooner i guess?
@@patkay This is me filing an official request for a colour calibration video. It's signed in all the appropriate places and double-checked. Thank you for considering my request.
;D
I second the request for a video on color calibration!
1)0:19 too many elements in your composition
2)0:50 going too hard on the shutter button
3)1:38 blurry images
4)3:02 over/under-editing images
5)4:00 photography is not all about gear
thanks sir/miss
@@NigaVayn that would be sir. Hahaha. My pleasure.
Ayee my hand made it in the vid LOL and you got the bird!
hahah ty for your hand 😂
Can you tell me what's the best Scope for this? : Nikon - COOLPIX B500 16.0-Megapixel Digital Camera Thank you!
Pick up any camera. Even the retro ones where you had to go behind the shady cloth!
Hey can you send me the link for the shutter button please and thank you so much 🙏🏽
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
☺️
👍
"don't over edit pics"
*opens up Lightroom* 😂
😃👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I prefer longer videos (more pat kay content) 😂
LOL you da mvp
*me who acutally somewhat liked the overedited picture in 3:"5* Oh well. Back to the drawingboard then.
Are you that actor on IP MAN 4? The Chinese military guy
Shiiieeeeee I took like 400 photos that day in the city hahahahaha
hahah it's fine if it's moving subjects though and you're intentionally placing shots!
After watching this. I became a non beginner!
congratulations, you’ve graduated 😂
Today I found out photography is not much different from Graphic Design.
My continuous autofocus is my finger ._.
Compose yourself before you compose your picture 😅😅😅
My First mistake is to buy camera by watching youtube. 👀
1. too many elements in your composition
2. Going too hard on the shutter button
3. Blurry images
4. Over editing or under editing images
5. Photography is not about the gear
I told my girlfriend less is more 😮
Editing is like makeup.
