Ive heard some awesome things about it and my close friend Aubrey got amazing success with it.

    Thank you, Mr. Wallace! I just received my first "real" camera and I appreciate the way you have explained the basics and also all of your visuals, which are especially helpful to me in giving me an overall picture of each light-related setting. All of this is new to me since my prior "point and shoot" did so much for me I had never explored those settings on it. Now, I am just trying to figure out how to use my Canon Rebel T6 and I think I have an idea of what these 3 settings mean. I am looking forward to viewing more. I hope all of your videos are explained in the same way. Thank you so much!

    I was once deeply into photography and as with anything I do including my career I concentrate on the technical side of things. I had a thorough understanding of exposure and never saw this until now. It may have helped me at one time, I don't know. But I'm glad to see that its here for those who might have a little difficulty with it. As a long time film user, I can see where the concepts have become a little more abstract in the digital world.
