Wow, thank you - appreciate the feedback.
These are the best 11 minutes I've spent on youtube trying to figure out "what is exposure on digital cameras". I am a beginner photographer. This tutorial is spot on and is very comprehensible. Very very useful. Thank you.

The explanation on light meter is something that connects the dots and is seldom explained. Thank you Paul for this awesome video.
I recently bought a Canon 700D. After stuggling through the 300+ page manual, I found this video to be the most helpful out of everything I've gone through on how to get the best out of the camera.
Love your tutorials,you dont move to fast and you give great guidance..Thank you sir!!!

Great to hear David, thanks for the support 👍
I have been interested in photography for about 18 months and in that time have read several books and watched countless You Tube videos on the subject. This evening (March 31) I came across your Exposure for Beginners tutorial and it was like a 'Light Bulb' moment for me, I then watched several more of your tutorials. You explain things so well and I have learnt much in the last hour, I can't wait to get out and take some photographs (shame we are on 'lockdown' in the UK!). Thanks very much Paul and I will be looking out for your tutorials each week now.
have been playing with cameras on and off for a number of years but since I have now with my latest gear made a rather large investment for me any way I have taken the time to learn from basics Now I have tried to under stand the exposure triangle before and I guess I was not getting it at all I have just sat and watched and played along with the camera a Nikon z6ii and pop you explained this perfectly thank you so much straight layman speaking you have gained a new subscriber 10/10
Thank you for such a simple and clear explanation of the exposure triangle, this is the first time I actually get it! I’ve had my Nikon for a year and a half. You’ve just solved so many of my frustrations. I’ve learned so much from your videos!

thanks for this video I am doing a photography course and to be very honest you have explained my assignment better than my teacher, thanks again
Brilliant. Your tutorials are so easy to understand. Reading instructions out of a book or user guide can't compare with a hands on demonstration. Thankyou for your time.

I'm so glad I came across your tutorials. So so helpful! Thank you so much. I'm halfway through a beginners course and despite good teachers, I'm struggling to take it all in with my Fibromyalgia brain fog! :( This has really helped connect the dots and now also understand how to use the light meter. You explain clearly and demonstrate where to find the settings on my Canon and love the cheat sheets. Hopefully when I attend my practical lesson tomorrow night I will have a better understanding, be quicker at adjusting settings and be able to take it all in :)
Just got my first DSLR, Nikon D3200. 40 years ago I was pretty good with my Olympus OM1 but your videos are bringing it all back to me, thank you. I subscribed and look forward to relearning how to take great pictures.
Just bought my first DSLR few days ago. Following your tips and making myself better every time, thank you for that.

I’ve been doing photography for a year now, and this has helped more than anything I’ve ever read! Thank you!!
I am a total newbie - just bought my first ever camera a few days ago Nikon D3500 DSLR (so far it was always the iPhone), and going through various KZread tutorials. I find your tutorials extremely well presented and easy to understand in a lay person's language. I have bookmarked all your videos I have watched so far so that I can refer to them when I am stuck. Meanwhile, waiting to receive my memory card so I can start experimenting. Thank you for this Paul.
Forty Nine (49) dislikes? Really? What is wrong with those people!! Thank you for your tutorial from a new subscriber. Thumbs up.
I bought a Canon T7 for my Christmas present to me this year and discovered your channel. Thank you because you take your time and explain things well and simply. Love your tips sheet for aperture and shutter. I understood how they worked but trying to remember what to set when wasn't and hasn't yet click so this cheat sheet is gold. Thank you!
Thank you photogenius for the lesson. I had spent 2 years with my Nikon D3400 and had no idea of its functionalities i.e. ISO, shutter. I got them now, I will continue learning
Your way of teaching is very simple and it can be understood easily even by a biginner like me!Thanks👍👍👍
Thanks Paul, I always find your videos simple to follow and you explain everything so clearly and uncomplicated, brilliant.

Great to hear! Thanks for watching Dennis, appreciate the feedback and kind words.
As a beginner, I have been binge watching all your beginner videos. All was going well until I took photos indoors, when I couldn’t get anything other than a black screen, without cranking up the ISO and ruining my photos. Explaining the light meter on the camera really has made it all click for my lonely, single brain cell. Thank you so much.

This has been so helpful!!!!! I’ve had my camera for 2 years and stopped messing with it because I could never get my lighting right and now I understand for once!!!
I have to say your tutorials are the best I’ve ever seen!! So helpful and easy to understand. I bought my first DSLR a long time ago (Canon eos350d) only ever used it in the creative modes then just gave up.... Just got back into photography and have bought a Canon EOS2000d and have found your tutorials sooooo helpful. Thank you so much for all the help and advice and please keep up the amazing work!!
I would just like to say a big thank you. I have had my Canon for a couple of years and have tried to make sense of the ISO , aperture etc. I wil no longer just use the automatic setting. Please , please keep doing your tutorials .
i have been trying photography for forty years but due to work commitments never had much time.i have retired now and i have learnt more off you in the last couple of weeks than the last forty years thank you i am forever grateful.
As a beginning photographer, this was extremely helpful. Your instruction on the light meter hit me like an "oh duh" moment. Thanks for making it easy to understand. I am excited to put your teaching into practice.

Thank you so much for this. I was gifted a nikon d5600 and l had zero clue of what anything is. This video was clear, straight to the point and very informative. Thank you so much...
The easiest and most engaging video I've watched relating to The Exposure Triangle. Takes it slow step by step, demonstrating on a Canon and Nikon, the effects of ISO, Aperture and Shutter speed - and most importantly how to control it yourself. Thank you.
Thank you so much for the explanation of the light meter. This improved my photo skills 90%. You're the first to explain this and it makes total.sense. Also love the mod tea cup.
Will say that these tutorials are simply brilliant! No technical ",faffery" just common sense easy to understand instructions. Great stuff looking forward to more videos 😀
It has been over 40 years since I had a decent camera in my hands so I have to relearn everything. I just purchased a Nikon D3500 and your tutorials are helping me understand the controls of the camera and helping me relearn everything that I had forgotten. Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos. I really appreciate having them.

Best tutorial videos on KZread in my opinion. Brilliant!!!!!!!!
I am new to using cameras for photography and videography and honestly this video is amazing. The way you explain things and teach us what each setting does is very helpful not only that but you give us examples on how the images looks when they are under/over exposed. I subscribed and liked the video!!!!! Cant wait for more tutorials, Thank you for this informative video.
Finally understanding how the three effect and work together! So helpful, thank you!
This is so helpful. I've never seen light metering explained with the exposure triangle.

This is my first time writing a comment. Thank you so much for the video! I spent over 2 hours to find tutorials and most of them didn't explain well, had missing information, and talk about something else. Your video is easy to understand and you only talked about what I exactly wanted to know! Thanks heaps!!:D
Great video. Learned a couple of things about my Nikon I wasn't aware of. Very easy to follow. Thank you

Thank you for giving the the confidence to invest in the camera I have wanted but I was afraid I wasn’t ready. I feel more ready now!!!
I enjoyed this video as well as the 60 second videos. I am teaching HS photo and will use this to help my students understand the process a little easier. We are starting light painting this week so it is very important that they fully understand the Exposure Triangle. thanks for your tips!
You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for all your advice.

I've wanted to be a photographer most of my life. After finally getting a dslr, I enrolled in a community college for a photography course, I sucked and lost interest. It was too fast paced, teacher getting irritated with all my questions. I have learned more from your tutorials and believe me, I've subscribed. Thank you for sharing your greaqt knowledge and taking your time explaining everything. I am more familiar with my camera, thanks to you. You've encouraged me again. Thank you
