Thank you so much for watching! Leave your photography questions in a comment below and maybe I'll make a video in the future to answer them!
David Manning so I Just got into doing photography I got a Fujifilm s1800 and it takes AA batteries, the batteries that I use die very fast and I was wondering what u think would be the best recharging batteries or what would be the best batteries to use thank u for the help
And I watched this video so far 3 to 4 time to lock it in lol
Hi, this is Farhan Rahman. I am from Bangladesh. I do photography with my iPhone. Can you make a video regarding photography with an iPhone using camera + app? Thank you in advance.
I love this crash course! Every new photographer needs to understand it though so I'm planning to make a tutorial in Filipino using a Canon Rebel or 80D. Thanks for sharing!!! 😍
More about flat lay photography n how to get better WHITE balance!
How can I be a good mobile photographer??
ISO - Sensitivity to light.
- More ISO = more light (but also more grains and noise)
- outdoor - ISO100
- Shade - ISO200
- Indoor - ISO400-800
Aperture - Size of opening in the lens.
- smaller the number 👉🏼 bigger the hole (more light)
- CONTROLS DEPTH OF FIELD.
- smaller the f/stop lower the depth of field.
- Only one person - low f/stop (f/2)
- more person - f/3.5 f/4 etc.,
- For everything to be in focus (in landscape imgs) go to f/16 or f/20
Shutter speed - Amount of time the shutter is open.
- 1/100, 1/250, 1/8000 of a second etc.,
- slower shutter speed 👉🏼 1", 2", 30" seconds.
- CONTROLS MOTION BLUR.
- Slow shutter speeds - used when on tripods.
- Faster shutter speed used for sports etc.
- For portrait - 1/250, 1/500 (ppl look sharp)
- slow shutter speed (1/100) Works best for low light situations as well.
- SLOW SHUTTER SPEED = MORE MOTION BLUR (More light)
- When subject is moving - 1/800
- FASTER SHUTTER SPEED = LESS MOTION BLUR.
Setting:
1. Set ISO first based on scene light (ISO100 OR 200 for outdoors)
2. Decide how much depth of field you want (focus only 1 person or focus the next nearby person (2) etc.,) More Aperture = more depth of focus.
3. How much motion blur I want to avoid?
4.
You take a TEST shot of the scene and the pic is too DARK .
1. Slow shutter speed down until you don't see a motion blur.
2. Lower Aperture to LET MORE LIGHT until the subject is in focus.
3. Raise your ISO.
You take a TEST shot of the scene and the pic is too BRIGHT.
1. Reduce ISO.
2. Raise shuttter speed.
3. VERY LAST, Raise the Aperture (Remember you' ll have larger circle IN FOCUS)
This comment should be pinned to the top.
Thank you
thank you for the note!
Thank you. I'm looking into photography.
Really Appreciate 🙏 I got everything what I missed in video 👍
And that my friend, is how things should be taught. Clear, concise, with visuals of modifications. Amazing job!
10/10
Yeah your right. It's better explained than in my photography course that I visited a few years ago
Seriously! I needed this kind of video long ago. I'm subscribing now because of it.
And straight to the point
You forgot got to add that thank me later :)
Damn..I'm still confused 🤣
Finally someone who can actually explain how a camera work without just spouting out numbers. A very simple and clear video thankyou.
Literally the most straightforward no-nonsense breakdown of photography ever! Thank you!
I've had my camera for 2 years but I was too depressed and had the artist's block and almost forgot how to use it. It's 5am here and I wanna go photograph the sunrise for the first time in almost 1.5 years and this video really helped me thank you so much and Wish me luck❤
Wishing you the best! Hope you continue in photography and do what you love 💜
Wish you the Best, thank you for sharing with us 🙏🏽
U got this Man!
You can do it.
To what do we owe your finding some happiness? Some others of us could use some too. ☺️
~ My own notes:
7:56 summary of everything
0:57 ISO - the sensitivity of camera sensor; the higher the iso, the more sensitive the cam sensor is gonna be; higher iso = more light but also more noise and grainy as well; set your iso based on the SCENE
2:40 Aperture - the size of lens opening/hole; the smaller the aperture, the bigger the lens hole, the more light comes in and vice versa; example: lens f/3.5 & f/38... 3.5 has bigger hole while 38 has smaller hole; the picture gets more detailed as the lens opening gets smaller; set your aperture based on the SUBJECT; if you want more depth of field (or more detailed pic), go for higher aperture (or small lens opening)
5:55 Shutter speed - the amount of time (in seconds) that the shutter is open; example: 1/50, 1/250, or 1/8000 of a second for faster shutter speed. There is also 1", 2" , 10" for slower shutter speed meaning your shutter is open for 10" (10 seconds); shutter speed controls motion blur, use faster shutter speed for sports to capture crisp motion and make a fast-moving object freeze in time and avoid blur; slow shutter speed = more motion blur
Fix scenario #1: image is too dark:
- slow the shutter speed
- lower the aperture
- raise the iso
Fix scenario #2: too bright:
- lower the iso
- raise the shutter speed
- raise the aperture
Appreciate it !
All heroes done wear capes 👍
I can't believe u wrote that
This was very helpful
Can this get pinned
The aperture part when you use the ruler to explain the depth was the best.
Thanks got one of the simplest, shortest but best photography tutorial.
It's all about how something is explained. I've watched videos about photography in Portuguese, which is my language, and in English, and this video is by far the most insightful and educational of all.
This was essentially my college photography class, that I paid over $1200 for in 10 minutes.....for free...
Awesome vid man!
Edit: seeing as there are a lot of people taking this comment EXTREMELY literally, let me clarify. Yes I paid a lot for my photography class in college, but it was only one part of the overall program I was in. It also included work with Photoshop, InDesign and some other things. However, the info in this video was the majority of the focus. So chill people lol!!!
Hahahaa! Best comment so far Jacob!!!
but but u did get a piece of paper telling u that u accomplished something!!
@@inquisitvem6723 🤣🤣 yes I did.
That is hilarious!
It’s really just the exposure triangle, I think you overpaid regardless
I tell people all of the time not to waste their money on photography tours/lessons. I can teach them everything in 15 minutes. I allow an extra 5 for them to set up the camera :-) People overthink and over analyze cameras and photography these days.
I totally agree!
Well can be a student?
Also, I think that either you have an eye for photography, or you don't. So anyone who has, will absorb this information very quickly because they just 'get it' 👏📸
Yes. U can learn free online but you can do a course aswell just to be true, you know what I mean? That course it's gonna be your start
I want to learn
Love how you not only explain the basics and use cases but then bring it all together in a real-world situation towards the end. Very helpful, thanks. 🙏
The best video on basics I’ve ever seen. Very concise and to the point about the most important aspects of using the camera. Thank you!
This is the first time in years ive actually learned something without having to go over it 10 times
The accuracy in this lol I wish he was my math teacher
Right
This was like half a semester of Photography 101 (which I took ten years ago) in 10 minutes. Awesome! Thanks so much. So helpful.
Haha! Love hearing that Grace!
Hmm studying photography be easy
Moral of the story, school is a waste of energy!
@@peacefulrelaxation5989 do you really think so? I'm considering going back to school but am really on the fence atm..
@@moonlitmesmerization554 it is its a waste of money in fields like this cuz google and CZcams can teach you for free
Your ISO, aperture, and shutter speed chart is amazing! It is the best I've seen. The visual definitely helps.
I really appreciate this video - I've been looking for something like this for a long time! My dad is a professional photographer, so I grew up with a camera in my hand, but oddly enough was never taught the basics. My shots are great as far as composition, but it's a gamble as far as the technical stuff. Thank you for the primer!
"Explain it to me like I'm a 5 year old" is, by far, the best way to start when venturing into this world as a beginner. The explanations were given under the premise the viewer knew nothing about each setting, right down to when and why a photographer would need to change any of them. The examples were a great visual aid as well. This was exactly what I needed to feel ready for the next step in learning. Thank you!!
czcams.com/video/OHnbzmBwd_M/video.html
I immediately liked the video and subscribed when he said that. Please yes, teach me like I’m a 5 year old lol. 😂🥰⚡️🌈💫
The hard part is trying to remember all this information. This video will definitely be replayed several times.
you could always take notes, it does help. read them over just in case you forget.
@@OminousV Great tip
Take notes on your phone and carry it with you to use in the field.
@@thehandsomeyogi8383 Thank you for advice. I'll definitely take it on board.
@@SiansBookcases create a small cheat sheet, I do allot of 3d and have one for everything, I always reference them
It's going to be my first time to teach basic photography to our interns tomorrow and this is quite a good refresher video.
Nice one!
Well done David. I’m in my 70’s and just wanting to get back into photography again. (Damn those phone cameras!) and your piece is a great way to start. Clear and concise.🇦🇺🇺🇸
Ooo we just starting straight away yeah ? Love that ... no intro ..no hello.. boom INFORMATION 10 minute straight! Subbed my brother ...let’s see more !
Loving how you explained this. I now understand a few things that sounded really foreign to me.
Perfect! That's exactly what I'm going for! Trying to unwind the confusing stuff and lay it out as simple as possible :)
:V
I agree! Some of this stuff just sounds so confusing and terrifying. I appreciate how you truly focused on beginners here
Same is with me.

I started studying photography very recently and this is one of THE BEST videos I came across for the subject (I should have seen this first before watching lots of others). This is very short video but have the essential basics covered. The SS was awesome. Thank you for the word ISO (eye-so) ... I never knew !!!
As a beginner I really appreciate this video. Clear, concise, nand you make it seem simple which help instill confidence. Thank you greatly!
I took photography in University. You explained ISO so well, simply, memorably and applicably. You actually made sense of it in one fell swoop 🤗
I’d never heard of it before it and makes no sense whatsoever according to how he explained it
The simplicity of this video is mind boggling. How you managed to condense all that relevant info in less than 10 minutes is really something. Kudos!
This video is so concise and helpful, a great starting point. Loved the chart you made. Thank you.
DAVID THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! As a newbie photographer/videographer I have been scouring CZcams for explanations. And this right here...was EXTREMELY clear, thorough, and FUN!!!! I cannot thank you enough! 🙏💛
" talk to me like a 5 yo " that's it ! You should tell your math teacher this !!
Yes, and we're going to get started at 8:00 for a full and concise definition

When he said that, it reminded me of the movie Philadelphia, where Denzel Washington, who plays Tom Hank’s attorney, tells his client to “Explain this to me like I’m a six year old.”
Yes me too i just didn`t remember the name of the movie but i knew it was danzel ...
Hi fellow weeb
Reminds me of The Office when Michael said, “Why don’t you explain it to me like I’m five.”
As an artist I’ve always struggled so much to understand the “technical” side of photography (basically wherever numbers come in, embarrassingly enough….) and have relied on immersing myself in experience as a way to memorize and comprehend the camera settings… but the way you explained them just now was so clear, it clicked and I finally understood it!! Thank you so much!
I really like this photographer I discovered. He's very unique. czcams.com/video/6XGETo4YxM4/video.html
DAVID THANK YOU SO SO MUCH! As a newbie photographer/videographer I have been scouring CZcams for explanations. And this right here...was EXTREMELY clear, thorough, and FUN!!!! I cannot thank you enough!
I did photography as a subject in high school but completely forgot about everything and a couple years later, here i am, trying to relearn everything. Your video has helped me so much! I'm so excited to experiment and improve!
I appreciate you explaining this like I'm 5. This is the first time I actually feel like I understand how cameras are supposed to work
That's the best man! So cool to hear!!!
Hey man I just wanna say this video is insane. Half a year ago i bought a Camera and only took photos in Auto-mode because I didn't understand this whole manual stuff with ISO, SS and so on. Now I understood all of this and the pictures are dope! Thank you very much.
Me right now feeling a bit confused. But this video helped me understood the 3 main points of photography. I've recently just started getting into photography. Id like to learn more since I want to save up to buy a cheap camera just to take photos of people or portraits as a beginner.
I like to use auto mode just bcs its faster in some case like at safari but if i have plenty of time to shoot i prefer the manual mode or one of the three priority mode.
set it to Av mode, set auto iso and change manualy only aperture, that's the best more for like 90% of all situations, playing with completely manual mode is crazy for begginers
@@Pidalin what exactly is AV mode? I have a $300 Nikon, not sure if I even have this setting... ?
@@jadeSLenin I mean aperture priority, which is what most of photographers use most of the time. I don't know how it's marked on Nikon cameras, it's mostly Av or just A. www.oehling.cz/data/imgs/29/0031329l.jpg You just set aperture manualy, so you have control over depth of field and you let other things (shutter speed and ISO) on auto which is ok in most of situations.
I’ve taken a few photos on my camera phone that I had edited, printed and hung in my office. Wanted to go to the next level but didn’t have a clue where to start. Thanks to you I now have notes explaining the functions and a sweet chart at that. Thank you!!!!
THIS is what those of us just getting started need. The basic foundation of how our cameras operate and how we can use simple, straight forward principles to get decent shots. Much like people who buy high performance cars and drive 10 mph under the limit, it's annoying to see someone with a $500+ camera with it switched to AUTO. Thanks David!
I almost never comment CZcams videos, but man this guy brought so much value... Big like and sub! Plus you deserve more views.
Thanks man! I appreciate that!

Oh, I LOVE YOU!! You are sooo easy to understand! I am learning so I could take pictures of my products and this has been a life saver!! ❤
This is truly photography 101 for any beginner like me. Thanks very much for this.
Wow! You explain things in such simple terms! Makes me wonder why other people try to make it sound like you need to be a scientist, before they try to explain these things. Thanks, from the bottom of my heart! 🙏
Absolutely! Stoked that it was helpful👍
that is funny and true. Used to go to photography asso meetings and most of the time it was people one upping each other about equipment vs talking about how and whys. This was a great tutorial. Thanks.
If someone can't explain easy enough mostly they themselves are not clear about it. The other thing is good photography is involved but not a deep science subject which requires deep amount of knowledge. Usually you start with basics and if it sticks you will learn on ur own by experience but some folks who charge huge amount of money needs to make it complicated to look their expensive course worthy.
As someone just getting started with a "professional camera," this video was exactly what I needed! Thanks!
How’s it going?
How u making out?
You doin' ok?
Youaroight?
You good?
Thank you so much! You made it so simple to understand! I've always loved photography but a lot of people try to complicate these basic aspects. I'm shooting a wedding this weekend and loved this refresher. I understand better than ever! Thank you! Wish me luck haha
Thank you for this video! While I'm more particular to landscape photography, I've been needing to get better at group lowlight candid photography for the live events that my CZcamsr friends put on! This video was extremely helpful!!
Been shooting for many years. This is the best explanation I have ever seen.

Thanks Jon! I appreciate that man!
Very helpful video thank you! I studied some photography over 10 years ago and haven't touched my camera since, this was such a great refresher. Super easy to understand
I love how you broke this down! Thank you for this!!!
You're so welcome!
Overexposed:
1. Lower the iso
2. Faster shutter
3. Use ND filter
4. Dont touch aperture, use nd.
What’s ND filter?
@@ginjaninja6585 Neutral-density filter
@@ginjaninja6585 Basically like sun glasses for your camera. Lowers the light coming in

This was a fantastic video as I am as beginner as it gets. I’m still trying to decipher the terminology and lingo enough to buy the correct beginners “1st camera” for wildlife photos. Thanks! Great info.
Finally found a video that explains the really basics of photography....I've been looking at other videos but I really didt grasp the concept of it...thanks for the vid
This video makes me want go straight outside and start using the camera in garden during this Covid-19 lockdown.
Lol! I just bought my first DSLR yesterday and also planted a new garden yesterday. Guess what I'll be doing these coming months.
It's a perfect chance to test your photography and look around the yard to take note of anything needing cleaning up
That’s what I’ve been doing! I bought my canon 80D in March and I’ve been using it at home and on a walking trail near my house. I’ve watched so many CZcams videos to help with learning photography, but this guy was by far the best! So simple.
I’m a junior and I want to go into photography. I took online lessons and was never able to grasp a cameras settings and how they work until this video! Thank you so much!
Beautiful video, the amount of info you fit in in less than 10 minutes is great. Subscribed and look forward to learning more with you.
This was incredibly helpful! I've read so much on photography and nothing ever stuck. But your explanations were so easy to follow. Thank you so much!!
It would not even be possible to make this easier, thank you for the excellent explenation.
Stoked man, thank you so much! I think it usually gets explained in an overcomplicated way that intimidates and turns people off photography. Hopefully when people see that the basis of it all is super simple, they'll dig in and spend more time on the more complex bits!
Absolutely informative!! I just got my first camera and these are very useful things to understand from this video. Frankly was completely lost in terms but you definitely simplified it for me as a beginner. Trying to make it a hobby when I travel.
Hey David, I'm just getting into DSLR and out of 20+ basic tutorial vids I've watched on YT yours is the best in terms of simplicity, ease of understanding, and personal vibes. I went to check out your playlists in hopes of finding more beginner tutorials, but didn't see an easy way to find more. Would you consider creating a shorter playlist of maybe ~10 vids specifically for beginners? May simply be curating some that you already have posted into something like "first 30 days of photography". I think that would help get more viewers to your channel and convert. I'll be returning to your channel regardless, thanks!
I may be a few years late but thank you so much! I’ve been chasing my dream of photography for years and I finally got a camera this year, been struggling trying to figure it out on my own and honestly I couldn’t have asked for a better explanation. Short and simple. Thank you!!!
The advice to set ISO first and shutter speed last is great for photography. However, everyone should keep in mind that if shooting video, the order is basically reversed. You typically want the shutter speed set as close as possible to 2x your framerate, you still want to set aperture second to get the depth of field you want, and then you adjust ISO last to get brightness to match. If your camera doesn't have enough usable ISO range to achieve the right target brightness, if the image is too bright, you can darken it with filters. If it's too dark/noisy on the other hand, then you may have to compromise on depth of field, and possibly slow down the shutter speed slightly.
Every other video that I have Watched until this one,now, made it sound like astronomy… and there you go in 10 minutes, in simple words, straight to the point…
Thank you so so much !!!
Thank you so much. What an amazing teacher. I knew the basic as I watched tons of videos already, but the way you explain has drugged all my brain in.
Thank you so much for this video! Trying to figure out F stops and shutter speeds and why my photos are too dark or too bright while changing all three of these things without trying one at a time has nearly driven me crazy but hearing it simplified like this, was way better for me to go try to figure it out! Kudos to you.
Dude I’ve watched many beginner photography videos and this is by far the best and most descriptive, while explaining in the easiest way to comprehend.
Very instructional in such small frame of time - We can't ever thank enough people like you who share their knowledge and skills in complex fields that take years to master - thanks :)
Thank you for sharing and I have been struggling with everything you just taught in your 10-minute video. Grant it I'm not using my camera as often as I did when I first bought it. However, watching your video just made sense and like a light went off in my head and I got it!!! It clicked and I actually. have a greater understanding. THANK YOU!!
I love hearing that Corinne! Keep that camera strapped around you and shoot as often as you can!
Have to say, I want to start getting a bit more serious about photography and having watched many CZcams videos on photography. Yours is the best, most informative, most detailed, easiest to understand with one of the best explanations on photography terms. Yours covers things that I would have to watch in 4-5 videos.

Thanks L Rahman! I'm so stoked this was helpful!
This is the most informative, easy to understand and concise photography tips I've ever bump into. Thank you so much
Thank you so much for taking your time to explain. You did it so good that I’m going to try my camera with what you thought us 😊
Thank you, sir. I bought a simple compact digital camera and I didn't know those terms, now I learn a little bit. I can only set the ISO and exposure, other than that its auto but still, this helps a lot for me that just started to learn photography last month October 2023 xD
Wow, I'm thinking of taking up this as a hobby, as a total novice, this explained a lot - Thanks
Thank you, thank you, thank you, David!! I've been taking a terrible photography course in school and haven't learned hardly anything, but rather have gotten more and more confused. Your way of explaining things, along with the examples, has been a life and grade saver! I'm a little less terrified and in tears about photography now due to your videos, so THANK YOU!
I am trying to learn on my canon rebel t5i on 50mm and 18-55mm for baby shower
Try Aperture priority mode as I've been learning as well and see your photos go to the next level. Happy shooting!
@@jennifertanner5667 wish you the best on your photo shoot!
This is the best beginner/refresher photography video I have ever seen.
Thanks David, I'm so glad I came across this. Excellent tutorial that has really stayed in my head. Perfect!
David I wish I could take your class in person, your ease of teaching and enthusiasm is contagious. 🎉Thank you so much‼️
This was the most helpful video on how to learn photography that I have ever come across! THANK YOU! I've been struggling trying to learn on my own. I recently inherited a bunch of photography equipment and have been trying to learn. I feel like I now have a foundation to build on!
Excellent video. You have explained all of this very clearly with great use of examples. Thanks.
