Have you ever used image stacking in Astrophotography? It's something I'd like to get into, but looks quite complicated.

As for color temp and exposure, you might look at using the neutral white/gray cards.

How about a video on finding inspiration in photography? The algorithm randomly showed me your channel a few weeks ago, so I've been inspired to knock the dust off my DSLR. Only problem is I have no idea where to start.

I just want to say how much I appreciate your videos. When I looked up other tutorials I got confused and overwhelmed, but you have this amazing skill to explain everything to the point very simply. Not to mention how enthusiastic you are about teaching others. It inspires beginners like me.Thank you Simon❤

True his amazing.

This tutorial should be mandatory for every new photographer. I wish I had this years ago when I was first starting out. Simon, you are an incredible teacher. You have the ability to break things down to where the concepts are completely understandable. Plus, you give us the visual examples as well. I can't thank you enough. The next time someone comes to me with questions, I'll be sharing this tutorial. After all these years, I'm still learning something new. Thank you!

Welcome, and Thanks very much!

I always watch your videos, repeat and repeat, gaining something new during each time, you are always on the point sharp and perfect, you are such a Great teacher Simon, thank you fr Japan 👍🤩

No matter how much I think I know, you always give me something I don't know or reaffirm what I know.

Trust me after watching your vids I now capture a lot better woth my phone 😂 (also editing RAW images on lightroom) So, thanks a ton for your vids, they're really great ❤❤❤

I purchased my first DSLR last week, which like so many things these days did not come with a manual, nor am I particularly comfortable in reading long PDFs on screens. This video was posted at just the right time for me, and I've already learnt so much. Thank you for taking the time to share your knowledge, I know I'll be coming back for more.

I'm new with a DSLR camera, and this is the best explanation I've watched here on KZread. I appreciate and love this video. Now, I understand each and every setting on my camera. Thank you so much.

This video is the art and science of photography in a nutshell. Comprehensive and complete.

I'm a professional photographer and I still benefitted from this video. Thank you

Thanks Simon, there's nothing like a good refresher especially when given in such a clear, well thought out and unbiased way. I always find your videos helpful and encouraging.

Agreed. Big help for me.

My thoughts on RAW are simple: shoot RAW+JPG. If you're happy with the JPG, you can just delete the RAW later. But, if for some reason you like the composition but not the edit, you have the RAW to go back to. Also, in a couple years time, you might want to fiddle with the RAW. If you take pictures, save both, the RAW editing power is huge and can make a dull boring foto really pop out! My opinion and my personal practice.

If you are e.g. on vacation and want to do something with a picture without any processing, it is much easier in JPG. I started with that (on a EOS350D) but switched to just JPG because it was too slow for some motives. Now I only switch to both formats if I expect the picture to be problematic with contrast and such or if I want to do something special with it.

You're such a great teacher, thank you for all these videos

I just love your voice... It makes me believe in what ever you say.

Perfect video! I will share it with our “old folks photo group” and I certainly would need to watch it every time I go out with my camera.👍 Battery … 🙄 Having a spare one in the pocket is not a stupid idea. Biked in freezing cold to the lake shore to catch some Northern lights and the camera went ❌ and the spare one was 15 cold minutes away AT HOME.

Thanks for the nod to Pentax in the section on autofocus-continuous! Now I feel legitimate 🙂

I am not a new photographer, but found this to be one of the most accurate and practical videos for those starting out. It is also a great refresher for all photographers especially those who haven't picked up a camera in a little while. Great job; thanks.

I am 51 yrs old and hv been taking pics since I was in school having gone through Polaroids, 110 film , 35mm SLR and DSLR's. What took me so many years to learn, you hv summed up here so well. Kudos to you, loving yr channel.

I have been shooting for about 3 year and still learned something!

Sending this link to a friend of mine who is starting out in photography. As titled, it covers the basics! Lots of info here, so he will need to start, stop and rewind a good bit.

May I suggest that you can make a video about social media content making like KZread videos tips. Because you are so good at thids! Anybody can understand your videos. Please tell us the psychology and sociology behind your content creation ❤

These tips are for even people who already have a DSLR! Keep one up to date and sharp! Thanks once again Simon!

This video was so helpful thank u Simon

This is the best video explaining the exposure triangle I have found, I fully understand the concept now. Thank you!

Thank you for making this amazing video 🙌🏾

truly my favorite youtube explainer. THANK YOU❤

THANKS for this video. Much respect.

Thanks Simon, great channel.

what a stellar tutorial. thanks 🙏

Such great information! thank you for your videos.

Hi Simon, beautiful video that explains in depth all the main notions to be able to start taking shots differently from automatic, being able to choose each setting and start shooting in the true sense! Thanks again and I'm waiting for the next video 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

I appreciate you for this video!

I just got into photography and I do have to say I barely understood manual mode and now it all makes sense, tysm. great video!! ❤

Impressive Mr. Simon. Thank you so much.

I'm not exactly new to photography but I find your videos interesting to watch. I've been watching for a little while and it makes me happy when you talk about something I already knew how to do, because then I know I'm doing things right! Of course, I also learn some new things from your videos! I still find it interesting to watch this video even if it's stuff I will know. Thanks for the great videos!

The multiple focus points was a new one for me! Tells me what I've been doing wrong with flight shots, where I had it set for single point.

Didn’t get a new camera, but I did get the Sigma 150-600 C for my canon t7 on Black Friday. It’ll arrive Wednesday and then I’ll really be able to step up my wildlife photography game.

one of the best videos i have ever watched thank you im buying camera next week hope ill be able to enhance my hobby with your tips

I’ve learned all of these things over the years by trial and error as an amateur bird photographer. But for beginners this is an extremely useful video. I wish that I’d watched something like this from Simon when I started out.

The best or in the top 2 presentations I've ever seen. Very clear, concise points made without a lot of extra chatter. Get's straight to the point and he shares visual images that goes along with the information he'd just noted. For instance, if he is talking about shutter speed, he will post an image showing an actual scale or what it looks like. This is a great point of reference and makes it easy to find on the camera.

Excellent video! I already watched some videos on the basics, but just wanted to double check. Also, including the suggestions when to use fast shutter speeds and countinous AF is a very nice touch.

Your videos are amazing ❤

Great tutorial as always! Your videos are invaluable to the aspiring photographers out there!

Thanks for this sir

I love your videos, and frequently have to go back and rewatch them.

This was very well timed, I just bought my very first DSLR after a decade of agonizing over wanting one. I took a photography class in college, and couldn't remember all of the ins and outs of photography when I was trying to go on my first photoshoot... but this is infinitely helpful, this video summed up that whole course! I'm very excited to try again this weekend, thank you!!!

Well explained Simon!

Your channel is the most helpful I have come across for taking the next steps with photography. I have mostly used auto but this year I want to learn to use some of the other settings. I understand the basic concepts but it was a bit overwhelming learning the settings when I just wanted a pic before the bird flew away.

I just got my R7 and 100-500. Waiting for the battery to charge. Upgraded from 2000D and kit lenses. Cant wait!

Actually, it’s International Organisation for Standards (IOS), and since in various languages it would mess up the order of the letters, they adopted iso as a word, taken from isos, greek for equal.

Thanks for this, just bought my first camera, your videos have me well keen to get started. Cheers from Oz

This is great thank you. I've often wondered about which shutter speed for various shoots and this was explained in the vid. I'm just venturing into Manual and RAW. Thanks for all your help! Best regards from the UK

Bear with me for contradicting. Shouldn't the caption read as "understand...." and not "Learn..."? Despite understanding these concepts decades ago, I am still learning many of them. One could learn only through experiences. The only way one could gain experience in photography is by keep trying out all available combinations of settings. Thank you once again for the numerous highly enlightening videos. They have certainly enhanced my understanding and made me a better photographer.

You having grown up in the film world, the usefulness of ISO in digital eluded me for over 20 years. And this video made it click for me, albeit somewhat passively. I never considered the usefulness of setting my preferred DOF and blur (shutter speed) and adjusting exposure via ISO. This seems like a great tool for street work in particular. Esp. along with Zone focusing.

You’ve quickly become my favorite photography channel. I’m a newcomer to digital cameras and I’ve learned so much from you in the last few weeks! Thanks for the information AND the inspiration!
