The aperture sizing reminds me of are eyes if its to bright your puilps goes smaller and when its dark your puilps goes wide!!!!#

I barely comment on any video, but your tutorial video is so fun to watch, I was laughing and taking notes down at the same time. I also like how you make the tutorial so practical like you gave examples of how to use slow shutter speed to shoot sparklers and car lights. Cause honestly they are all figures and meaningless to me if you don't give me 1 or 2 examples for what effects they can achieve. I'm just not that smart that I can figure out myself. Anyway, thank you so much and I will keep watching your tutorial!

You're voice is so pleasant to listen too!

Guys check out my newest video where I talk about my experience at Justin Timberlake's concert! :) I would rlyy appreciate it

My whole life changed after watching this video, thank you!

OMG, I love this video! I recently discovered you and now I'm an addict

Best photography tutorial ever :)

You just saved my life! I love how clear you are in this video.

This was a great video. I know this video is older, and you probably know this now, but....I figured i'd mention it for others watching. My understanding of the aperture labeling is that f-stops are actually labeled as "f/x", where "x" is one of those so-called numbers. So the reason you get a small opening at f22 or a large opening at f4 is because f/22 is smaller than f/4. Example: if "f" were 1, then 1/22 would be smaller than 1/4. But thanks again for this. Needed to refresh myself and your lighting tutorials are superb!!!

I figured it was something like that but i wasn't sure. I'm a music ed major but i want to start filming videos. Did you go to school for film?

If only school was taught like this. I'm a firm believer in "don't tell me, show me" and this video showed me. I loved how you showed the disconnected lens opening and closing while explaining f-stop.

Girl you FLY! Thank you so much for this video! I'm a beginner photographer and this video helped me understand better what all those terms mean. I appreciate the "Layman's Terms" description! Btw, do you have a video on black and white photography? I'm really into that style right now, and I'd love to learn about light settings for day and night black n white photos. You're a joy to watch Maya! Thanks so much!

I have honestly been trying to figure these out for so long and your video made it so clear. Thanks Maya!!

THANK YOU for giving me actual information/advice including photos of cameras and settings (and photos that camera takes at various settings) - aperture, shutter speed, and ISO. I appreciate how you explain these manual settings with a sense of humor and with a smile....and with language I can understand. You can't believe how many postings tell you nothing except how to buy their "courses."

Thank you, thank you! As a newbie to photography, I've watched quite a few videos now, yet you're the only person to explain it all in simple terms so that a beginner can translate 'why' one changes each setting. I'm going to binge watch the rest of your videos now. x

you are amazing Maya, I am starting my youtube channel and I bought all the right equipment with little knowledge of what to do. Your videos are a blessing thanks a bunch :)

Crazy helpful :) Thanks!

This remind me when I was in photography class. I love taking photos and I wish I had a great camera to start doing that again.

OMG! Finally a beginners guide for digital cameras. Thank you so much for explaining these settings. I was clueless until today!

Thanks for dumbing it down girl lol. I been trying to figure out this lingo fo eva.

Maya. I just want to say i appreciate this video with all my heart. Ive been reading up on photography for months now and have found it hard to comprehend a lot of what is online. But this, this just put about three months of reading into perspective. God bless you for taking time out to put out something so selfless. Thank you and stay shameless! :)

I'm watching this in 2018... after spending the entire day and night trying to find this information in simple terms.... I'm only three minutes in... and I LOVE YOU!!!! The way you explain this is amazing!!! Thank you x1 BILLION!!!

OMG I'm so glad I found your video and channel because I've been so confused trying to figure out these cameras! You are an AWESOME teacher. You explain things in a way that is so easy to understand!

I can really appreciate your ability to simplify and casually talk! I recently watched your video accessing your Sony a5100, and think I am going to buy it! This video is helping me get comfortable with my learning of cameras 101!

By far the best explanation video

This vid as been the most pint point direct and well explain vid that I hav watch so far, your a genius....mwah!!!

This was really amazing.. I saw this video few weeks a go and did not had any idea what you were talking about... but now, I am taking a photography class and all makes sense...Your tips are straight to the point and no too technical, which I love.. Thank you so much.

This is the most comprehensive video ever! I just learned soooo much ant how to use my camera, bc I had no idea how othr than basic recording. thanks boo! You're helping new youtubers like me get our lives together!!

thanks so much I can already make improvements on my work now

Trying to learn as much as possible. Great explanation.

I took a photography class in college. Hands down you are the best teacher. Untill today I wasn't very sure about the ISO aperture situation. All that is history now thanks to you. Godbless

I have watched a billion videos about the triangle and you are truly the most easy to understand thus far. Thank you so much.

thanks so much Maya, am planning on getting a new camera for my channel...

Oh my gosh...so helpful!!!

i'm a newbie in photography and i've been searching for hours here in youtube just to find a very good tutorial and oh my ghad thank goodness i found your channel!!! this is so helpful thank you boo 😘

I just came across your channel, I've been interested in Photography for a long time, but I had to sell a camera for personal reasons in 2012. Now, I have finally purchased a mirrorless camera again, and I am getting back into it. This was very helpful, and one of the best in depth videos on the basics

This video is really well put together...informative, but not too difficult to understand. Thank you!

WHY DOES FILMING A KZread VIDEO HAS TO BE SOOOOO CONFUSINGGGGG I THOUGHT ALL YOU NEEDED WAS CAMERA AND PRESS IT TO RECORD AND GET BY THE WINDOW FOR LIGHT. BUT NOOOO YOU NEED A PROFESSIONAL ASS CAMERA AND LIGHT CIRCLES AND LIGHT BOXES AND WEIRD TERMINOLOGY AND BLAH BLAH BLAH PRESS THIS DO THAT FOCUS FOCUS FOCUS EDIT EDIT EDIT FANCY EDIT OMG OMG OMG sorry for the rant but im frustrated!!

Looool. Just decided to get a camera and learn. All these setting was giving me a headache until I came across your page. You're actually the best!

I've watched this video a gazillion times over the past few months. It's to the point where I know the introduction song word from word. I started taking photography this semester, and this is an awesome reference for when exposure starts to confuse me

what camera did you end up getting?

Thank you for the best explanation ever: "Photography is capturing LIGHT!" Balancing the size of the opening for light (apature) & how quickly the opening closes (Shutter speed) is key.

I have been looking for explanation to understand juuust a little bit these three things for weeks. Finally I got that point. That was really helpfull. Thank you.

I took more information away from this video than I did an entire semester of photography. Thank you so much!

You are a fantastic teacher.

You finally got me understood what are the jargon..... thank you, Maya! Love your videos so much!!!

This is, hands down, the best photography explanation in the history of you tube! :) Thanks!

Argh! Currently waiting on delivery of my first DSLR cam, and this was crazy helpful! Took a confusing subject and simplified it, I am ever grateful! xo

OMG finally a camera tutorial that makes sense to me!!! All the other ones I see from other people just confuse me even more! Thank you Maya!!!!

1. Thank you for existing. The world needs more people like you who are so inspirational. 2. This video was so helpful and the way you approached this topic was spot on!

I want to tell you, I am just getting in to photography as a profession, & your videos are by far the best for info I have seen yet! ... You are absolutely superb in your descriptions & I love your personality! ... You go girl! ... Simply fantastic! .. I hope I can be as good as you one day!

I currently on your tech playlist haha so sorry if im spamming you with my comments but I'm sooo loving this, I'm just starting my KZread channel and I don't know anything about cameras lighting filming editing so I'm learning little by little and I'm learning so much by watching this playlist so thank you for making this! And I look forward to more! :)

THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video. Have asked so many to explain the basics for me and you do it so well!

Thanks Tons!!! I will be watching this a few times... I think you may have finally been the first to make any kind of sense of it all for me!! .. I really have been struggling! I am impressed with the way you teach... You simplified it!! Thank you so much!!!

Omg just discovered your channel and you are exactly what I need to start learning how to edit videos for myself and to keep as memories. However you're also a youtuber with makeup videos which I am obsessed with watching!!! Love love love you already. Thank you for all your hard work for us!

Great video! I have been putting off learning how to use my DSLR and I really want to figure it out. I wish you could give me personal lessons, but I'm definitely watching all your techie videos. Thanks for posting these!

UGH. All your tech talk videos is what I NEEDED. THANK YOU!!!

I must say I just love your energy and you general personality.

Listening to your background music, I kept expecting to see Madonna at the Super Bowl to appear. Love your instructional videos - Thanks !

Wow, I'm only 3 minutes into your video and I've already subscribed and liked it! The way you explain things is just so much more clear and simple. I've watched so many videos to try and get a better understanding of aperture, iso and shutter speed but after every video I'm still feeling lost. Thank you so much for taking the time to explain to beginners like me! I feel like you've just lifted a weight off my shoulders! You're AWSOME!! xoxoxo much love! -Cheyenne

So I recently had time to start playing around with my camera and I used this video as a guide while I was practicing. YOU ARE THE BESSSST! :D

Your are literally the best techy I have come across!! Everyone's else just makes me move on and find a different hobby

Thank you so much for this! I just had a multi-media lab at college & we learned more about photography. I remembered this video so I knew what my professor was talking about! THANK YOU MAYA! :)

Love this video, your channels on my speed-dial! lol ! I finally upgraded from my canon powershot to the canon T6i, used your other videos to create a home studio and i'm lovin' it, loving shooting my kids & family! Thank you for all your hard work & keepin' it real! Very informative!!

You're very good at clear explanations for us newbies. Thank you SO much!

One of the best and most simplified videos about lighting. Love it babe

You are such an amazing teacher, your breakdowns are clear and easy to understand. And that freestyle was lit and so is that beat.

LOVEEEE your videos..your vibe and the immense simplicity with which you educate .. finally a language that is understandable! Thank you!!! Hope you keep making more of this!

took a photography class once and learned all of this and you explain it so perfectly it was good to refresh my knowledge

Great explanations! I like that you pointed out that it's not always intuitive.

I can not like this video enough! I search often about camera settings and aperture but most videos say its for beginners but they don't explain what aperture, Iso, and shutter speed, or even depth of field are or even how they work. Thank you for the informative video!

Thank you so much. I have just begin to learn and the way you break it down is awesome!!!

I've been watching this kind of tutorial for last two days and I wasn't understanding anything. Thank you so much for the examples you gave, it was really helpfull :)

Love love love this video! You explained everything so well!!! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!

YOU ARE SO AWESOME. So much better than droney, boring, techy tutorials. I could watch you forever girllll x

You are seriously THE BEST at explaining this. Thank you!

OMG you video really helped me understand so much!! I have been struggling here lately wanting to give up my new hobby but you just gave me so much hope. Thank you So much!!

You should have been my photography lecturer at university. You said it so simple. It took me a while to figure out the relationship between f stops and shutter speed. Plus I had no idea what iso really did till I watched your video. Thanks.
