I love these videos. They are funny and it's nice not to have to sit through 10 minutes of someone recording themselves in all their glory before sharing a useful tip. Thanks Jared!
Jared, long time lurking watcher and never a contributor. That being said I've progressed a hundred fold in what I believe to be a short time, given the amount of time that I have to shoot. I'd like to thank you for sharing your knowledge. It's certainly given my family and friends many more quality memories than we would have had otherwise. Asking nothing you continue to give, Thanks!
I think a good thing to mention as far as composition goes is having asymmetry in your photo and also being aware of what objects carry the most visual weight
I like your tutorial. It really talks about the basics that you even featured the use of te most common 18mm-55mm kit lens. I'll wait for more tutorials!
I love all your videos. I am a total rookie who just bought a D3100 and your videos have helped me understand the basics of my camera and key photography elements.
Thanks for keeping this video here so I could learn something that I was kind of doing already, I think, but it's to know in case I didn't know. So thank you Jared.
Jared, I just wanted to say thank you for putting out this information for all of us to watch. In my mind one of your best videos yet, keep it up Super Jared Bro.
As a wanna be photographer (in other words just got a camera and don't know much at all) I find your tutorials very informative. You have a new subscriber.
Nice one Fro- Helping me loads as a beginner - I walk around with visions of framing shots in my head all the time - must remember not to when driving to tell ya truth PEACE LOVE UNITY
True composition is very important to how powerful an image can become. Now not all have to follow "the rules" but .. knowing the rules and knowing when to use them and when to ignore them does makes pictures much more interesting. Not to if you take the time to know what you WANT .. then set up the composition and frame such way that you get it. You get it. If you don't know what you want.. well.. you can't work to it.
@thanatos84 you are so right, this goes into when I talked about seeing the image through the slide carrier that I carry around. You can compose well with an iphone or a point and shoot and get great images just because of it.
Brand new to all of this. I just bought the D5100 I sure could use the ability to watch the other how to videos you talk about making. Did you make them yet? I can use all the help I can get right now. Thanks!!
Hey Jared. Nice video. Do you think you can do sometimes a video on how you started out as a payed photographer?(if you haven't already). How did you get jobs and how did you advertised yourself. Thank you.
pleasure of photography (z) = pleasure when expose the photo (x) + pleasure when looking at your photo (y) .... composing = taking time when expose your photo (less x) but higher y later. So if total z is not increasing after composing the photo right, there is no need to compose the photo right :p :p
I just recently purchased a Nikon d3300 And ive been watching all of your videos for help. I can say that they are very helpful! I just have one main question, what mode should I be in when Im comfortable enough to mess with the settings? Is there a mode where I can adjust Aperture, ISO and shutter speed? Or is each mode for a designated event or type of photo? Should I always be in portrait mode when taking a portrait mode or should I be in another mode where I can do all the adjustments myself? Another question is ... should my lens be on manual focus or auto focus?
+Steven Sanchez You have aperture priority and shutter priority which will allow you to change 1 or 2 exposure settings while the third (ISO) is left to be done automatically based on what you select. Manual allows you to do all of this yourself, but your images may be dark or bright if you don't get enough light. These are settings for canon, nikon will be very similar if not identical. Picking what mode you're in is down to what type of photo you want, and things such as what the subject of the image is and what it looks like.
What microphone are you using with the Nikon D7000 to shoot this video? Obviously not the built in one. Do you use iMovie to edit your videos? Thanks for all you do.
Would you ever shave your fro off? and great vid Jared! im a beginner in photography and tbh i already knew all this stuff :/ hmm maybe i have a natural born talent ;)
@chopper82p hmmm.. I might just buy the body then, and then the 18-200 because i do a lot of sports, and a telephoto lens like that would be useful. i also will most likely get the 50mm 1.8. not totally sure. i mean, the kit lens isn't that bad..
does aperature 1.8 and 2.8 have a big difference? 6:09, i still remember in the first aperature video 1.8 blurred everything behind kermit... but in this the tree is still in tact.
Hi Jared, can you suggest which format should we use for USB Flash Card? The other day I realised we can format into FAT, ExFat, or NTFS. For RAW which on is the best? Many thanks!
@giantLUKE2 dont get the kit lens. if you are on a tighter budget get the 18-200 but if your not get 24-70 and sigma 70-200. i made the mistake of getting the kit lens with my d5000.
I was using my camera on a tripod, and a gust of wind blew it back and the camera hit the ground, and one edge/rail of the hotshoe is bent, therefor I cannot put my flash on. Is there any way I can send this to Canon, or buy another hot shoe anywhere? Thanks so much.
I am fairly new in photography, and I have limited experience shooting but from what I do know in sunny situations you'd want your ISO the lowest (100) so the image doesn't lose any quality, correct? So, my question is: why is your ISO at 400? is there a specific reason that I may not know? Thank you in advance.
Anyone know how he put the camera type, lens used, ISO, aperture, etc... on the bottom of the photo? Did he do it manually, or did he have a program like Lightroom do it for him?
OK...so new to all this. how do you deal with a living creature? walking thru the woods a few weeks ago I came across a pretty good sized snake on a raised side of the trail. I quickly grabbed my camera and took some photos. you don't always have the time or the ability to try a lot of photo angles to get the right photo composition. with a person or a pet you might be able to get them to stand still long enough. wildlife on the other hand, you can't just say "Stay" or "Sit" or "hang on while I try a few other shots". you have to take it at a moment's shot. do you just say...this will not make a good photo and skip it or do you take a photo for that moment?
i'd say wild life photos are "in the moment" photos. like you said, you cannot tell wild animal to sit, or stay, so it'd have to be snap the photo as best you can. If you do happen to see yourself having a little more time than you though, than go ahead and play with a couple more angles.One thing to Think about when you're shooting is to be sure to emphasize the creature/subject over anything else the best you can.
Ideally you want your iso to be as low as it can be. 100 iso gives you the sharpest, but don’t limit to yourself to staying there . His shutter speed is faster which is bringing in less light. The aperture is as “low” as it can be at 3.5 so he can’t let more light in from that. The only way to get more light in the camera is to bump the iso up to get it even exposed. Hope that clears up the question .
