This 20-min video gives you most of the fundamentals of an entire week-long photography class, with none of the confusion. The explanations and diagrams are crystal clear. I've watched about a dozen photography videos on KZread, and this one is by far the best. I should have started here, but better late than never.

Hi Duade I extend my heartfelt gratitude for the exceptional channel you continue to deliver. Your ability to combine in-depth knowledge with an easy-to-follow teaching style is truly remarkable. Your passion for photography shines through in every video, making complex concepts accessible and engaging. The clarity with which you explaine each technique and the practical examples you provide make a significant impact on my learning experience. Thank you once again for your dedication and expertise. I am excited to apply the skills and insights gained from your videos.

I'm going to watch this tutorial every week until it sinks in. Thanks Duade

How on earth these contents hide away in the jungle of KZread !! I never had such clear understanding on the relationship between the 3 parameters of the triangle.

I really appreciate how you show not only the raw and final image but also show the shots that don't work and explain why. In a world where people only ever see perfection and none of the mistakes that all have to own and understand to get there, these videos are really refreshing. I'm new to wildlife photography and still finding my feet trying to beat that dreaded high number of soft shots stage haha, slowly getting there!

I have watched this video multiple times over the past few years. Seriously, as a starting photographer, this is incredible.

By far, in light years the best explanations and instruction of the Trinity of photography; ISO, shutter speed, and aperture. Complete knowledge of these three factors is essential to wildlife photography and this video is the reference point for beginners to start with. I've shot for some time now and as I move into wildlife photography with a 600mm lens I find there is a learning curve. Duade nails it in this video. Thanks, Duade.

Still watching the video, but at 2:02 and 8:09 you show photos that didn't make the cut! Thanks for showing shots that don't make it and what to change on your camera to fix it. You've provided diagnosis (how to look at an image and find something to improve) and paired it with a solution! Thanks! The DoF graphic with colored parts for the sharp focus is so helpful for someone new to see what an experienced photographer sees naturally. You're on my list of recommended KZread photographers to help explain these things!
