I was made aware of a little audio bug around 2:46. The video was fine when I uploaded it, so KZread must have done something funny with it... Anyways, the speech that's being said at that moment is: "On screen now are lists of full-stop increments for shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Moving from left to right we see an increase in image exposure..." It looks like it replays the first half then skips over some of the middle bits. Sorry for this guys. I would have re-uploaded if I had caught it sooner since this does not meet my benchmark of quality, but oh well...

the image on 2:50 really helped me understand the three things more!

I have been watching a lot of photography videos (most of them are similar) but this one was different, interesting and useful! The graphic illustrations together with the voice explanations made it very enjoyable and easy to understand!

Great! Though I knew it but your description was so user friendly & brief, it will help lots of people to capture precious moment with proper setting. Thanks a lot for the effort.

It's finally now making more sense! New camera, doing more pics and vids means time I understand more how it all works. The way you covered it clicks a lot more than other ways I've learned. Thanks.

Dude! These really helps me a lot in understanding exposure settings since I am new to photography. Thank you so much!

Although I've been shooting for many years, these are always helpful. I like the "push pull" metaphor, and your emphasis on the creative aspect of the shot - the reason you shoot manual in the first place. Well done and thanks for your efforts.

This is really good and visuals really help. Because I shoot film now I am able to understand exposure and stops for what it really is. I am able to change on the fly because I understand the technicality of exposure. But digital Photographers and Videographers will struggle with this because there's a screen to base if their shot is equivalently exposed, and for that never truly understand how exposure let alone change exposure but remain equivalent.

A good one for the new ones

"...and let me know if this video helped." Oh, it helped! I can assure you it helped. Thank you so very much 🙏

Excellent instruction, it's the only one explaining this concept that I have found. But, if for example, I want to take a portrait like the one described in the video, how do I figure out the other two variables if I only know one? For example, if I wanted to shoot a photo of a bird in a bird bath about ten feet away and have just the bird in focus, I would choose a larger aperture. Once I choose the aperture, (say f4) how do I know which ISO and shutter speed to select? Thanks

@Apalapse

3 жыл бұрын

Sorry for the late reply, but I think I can help out here. Once you have the aperture selected, you can choose the slowest shutter speed that will keep the image properly exposed while not introducing motion blur. Let's say that you are using a 300mm lens. For a 300mm lens, I would expect that you would want to use a shutter speed around 1/500s to keep the shot sharp, since movements from your hands can cause motion blur, even if the bird is staying still. At 1/500s, if your shot is overexposed, you can choose a faster shutter speed, say 1/1000s, but if the shot looks too dark, you can bump up the ISO to get an image that looks bright enough. I usually recommend people to shoot manual with auto ISO for this exact reason - it only requires the photographer to manage depth of field with aperture while eliminating motion blur with shutter speed - the camera will determine the final brightness of the shot while the photographer determines the exposure. Hope this helps!

I thought aperture stops calculated by doubling the numbers. But you explain it in a chart. Thanks for clarification

@Apalapse

5 жыл бұрын

You're right. If you double the f-number, though, you get a two-stop increase. If you double the previous number you get a one-stop increase. This makes learning full-stop apertures relatively easy except that you need to memorize the first two ratios.

Want some tutorial about water splash with camera settings please.

I’ve learned an awful lot, thank you. Everything has been explained clearly with good examples. My only slight criticism is you need to speak a little slower. I did compensate by playing back at 0.75 speed, but nonetheless, it’s informative and the animations aid understanding well. Thank you again.

Great video! I am a rookie so apologies if the question seems basic but: how useful are nd filters then? Say I want shallow dof on a bright day, can't I just achieve similar results by keeping a wide aperture, lowering Iso and shortening the shutter speed instead of adding 1, 2, 3... stops with an nd filter? Thank you

Are those stops for a specific camera? Thanks for such amazing and informative videos. My D3300 has 6.3-5.6-5-4.5-4-3.5 aperture and 1/640-1/500-1/400-1/320 shutter speed. I was thinking of creating a chart like yours so I can follow it, unless I'm missing something!

@Apalapse

4 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thanks for commenting. To answer your question, no, these stops are universal across all of photography. Your camera may have MORE values in-between the full-stop chart, but the series f1.4 f2 f2.8 f4 f5.6, etc. is more or less a standardized system in photography. Even so, it doesn't matter the actual values but more the pattern behind them and the meaning. Shutter speed will always be 1/2 or 2x the previous value if you want to go down/up a stop of light. Aperture is a little stranger, in that every other stop the value doubles or halves. It's a little hard to remember the aperture series but once you do it is extremely useful. I hope this helps. By the way, for your D3300, f3.5, f4, f4.5, f5.6, f6.3 is a very common series. f3.5 to f4.5 is roughly a one-stop reduction in light but not quite. I hope this helps, and if you're still confused don't hesitate to keep asking. I am here to help and make things clearer for you.

I wish I had this when starting out. Best explanation so far.

4:00 It seems so simple now that I've watched a few of your videos. So let me make sure I got that right: each stop (regardless whether ISO, shutter or aperture) results in 2x or 1/2 the amount of light hitting the sensor (or, in the case of ISO, the light amplification/division). So by increasing shutter speed by 2 stops (from 1/30 to 1/125) we're reducing the amount of light by 4? That would make sense since the speed of light is constant and we're giving it 1/4th of the exposure time. Then I guess it applies the same way to aperture, i.e. each stop doubles/halves the aperture area, effectively doubling/halving the light hitting the sensor, correct?

@Apalapse

May i ask how you create for animations, and what programs you use for your content creation?

@Apalapse

4 жыл бұрын

Of course. I use Adobe Illustrator to create all of the illustrations then I take those files, import them into After Effects, and animate everything. It's nice because all the layers in Illustrator can be translated to layers in After Effects, and the animating is simple keyframing, nothing too complicated. It just takes forever since each individual element is its own layer, and it's pretty common for me to end up with 200-500 layers at the end of a project.

Hi, lovely video! When I take a pic with a shutterspeed higher then 1/200 and with a Aperture of f5.6, the picture is extremely underexposed and sometimes even black. I need to take pictures with a shutter of 1/50 to have a great photo and that’s not always good when I try to shoot wildlife. I currently use the Nikon D5600 with tamron 18-400 mm. Does somebody know what I could do to fix this?

@mrmack00

5 жыл бұрын

Beginner here, but I'd say you have to increase iso if you can't adjust the other settings at all. Or, if you are willing to adjust all 3, you can make smaller adjustments by opening the aperture little, slowing the shutter speed a bit, and increasing iso. Try to get the best exposure possible and make final adjustments in post processing.

ISO isnt part of the exposure, its just aplied gain over the already took image, imagine an old radio, its the same as the Gain knob, In analogic photography ISO was a physical property of the film, and you needed tpo change the film to change the ISO, but in digital cameras you CAN NOT modify the physical properties of the sensor, you just apply gain to the signal received by the sensor

You are right in that ISO does not increase exposure. This is why in the video I was very careful to choose my words when discussing raising ISO. Whenever I mentioned raising ISO, I said "brightening" the image. The only reason why in this case ISO would increase grain would really be because we are also decreasing exposure in some other way. Like say for example we have a scene that is properly exposed for at f2.8 and 1/60 sec. with an ISO of 100 which is the base ISO (zero amplification)... If we wanted a deeper DOF forcing us to change aperture to f4, but didn't want any more motion blur, forcing us to leave shutter speed alone, we would adjust ISO to 200. The exposure here is cut in half since the size of the aperture is half as large. ISO doesn't do anything because you can't magically increase the sensitivity of a sensor (thinking about it logically, it doesn't even make sense). All the ISO does is amplify the signal, and since it is weaker than that taken at f2.8, more noise is seen throughout the image. This is why many photographers think that increasing ISO increases grain. In most cases it does because we are manipulating other exposure parameters, but try increasing ISO without changing anything else, and you will see that noise does not change.

A great Tutorial. It explains the concept very well. The speaker speaks too fast.
