Photo Grind!

Thanks for the comment, its great to hear that you like my video and photos…

Cheers
Dean.

great video and photos, I really like your picture of the ocean

Thanks for the comment, I try to make my videos as easy to understand as possible for two reasons:

1). I dont understand all of the technical aspects of photography – as I am not formally qualified.

2). I like to share my skills & knowledge with others, hopefully this is easy for budding photographers to understand?

This is probably the reason why I have made so many videos, people like you enjoy watching them and I enjoy making them…

Regards
Dean.

Thank you for a wonderful and easy to understand video. I am brand new to photography and this was a wonderful stop on my youtube romp to learn more. So cheers and don’t ever stop

Sorry about not replying to your comment earlier…

I am not an expert photographer, i do this for fun and as I have mentioned in other comments I try to leave the technical terms out and simply enjoy showing others a few skills that they may be interested in learning themselves…

So, please forgive me if I do not use the terms that the pros may use?

Shallow DOF to me is a smaller area that is in focus from in front of the subject to behind the subject.

Thanks again for your comment.

This is part #3 of the reply Codenamebravo..

Sorry, I forgot to mention in my Part #2 reply that when taking a photo with a high ISO / ASA setting (rating) lets say 800, this is when you will end up having ‘noise’ in your photos…

If you use an ISO / ASA rating (setting for digital cameras), with a tripod and a cable release or inbuilt timer, you will have very little ‘noise’, however; you will need to compensate a better quality photograph with a slower shutter speed…

Part #4 next…

This is part #2 of the reply Codenamebravo…

For people that may not be aware

The term noise that you are referring to is in reference to the grainy appearance of the image that has been taken in low light, the photo almost has a grainy appearance.

There is more information in a video about Night Photography that I have made entitled selecting an ISO / ASA

Thanks again for the comment.

Part #1 of your reply…

Thank you for the comment Codenamebravo.

I agree with you about increasing the ISO setting on your camera. The beauty of digital photography is that it is possible to use ISO readings greater than 400 ISO (you can use 800, 1600, 3200 and much higher ISO settings if you prefer obviously depending on the amount of available light and the amount of movement of the subject that you are photographing

Please go to Part #2 of my reply…

If you are taking action shots rather than use forced flash use a film with an higher ISO this will allow you to shoot at faster shutter speed but beware of noise on the film… ISO 400 would be great..

Great comments, thank you

I really appreciate that you and many others are enjoying my videos; I hope that as a result of watching them (and me producing them) we can all improve our skills as photographers.

There are many other topics that I am still yet to cover

Thanks again.

Thank you for making these videos and uploading them to youtube. I am going to subscribe to your channel. Watching a few of them has given me a lot of pratical information that has been very hard to understand from text only sources.

The flash definitely need to be synchronized to your shutter speed and any other requirements of your camera.

I would suggest that you read the manufacturers instruction books for both your camera and your flash in regard to flash synchronization as the answer should be there.

The flashing 90 could be an indication that your camera or flash can not sync to the shutter speeds that you are using.

Blur could be caused by incorrect shutter speed or incorrect ISO / ASA settings

Hi Dean,
I have a question related to depth of field, I am brand new to photography with a 35MM. I have been shooting anything and everything playing with settings and such. I was wondering however, when you use a flash, does that effect shutter speed? I can set the shutter to 1/1000, attach the flash, and it goes to ” 90 ” which is probably why my action shots were slightly blurry.

Thank you for commenting on my videos Sue, I really appreciate that you are enjoying them…

I try to explain my photography tips in a very easy to understand process for two reasons:

1). I dont want to confuse people with the ‘rules’ of photography.

2). I dont know all of the rules of photography, technically I am not perfect, however; I simply enjoy taking photos.

I simply like to share my photographic skills and knowledge with others

Thanks again.
Dean.

Great thank you for putting this easy to follow Video.. Looking forward to watching the rest, Sue

thank you .. very helpful

shallow or deep DOF?

Thank you for your comment and I hope that you enjoy watching my other vids.

Cheers
Dean.

You rock dude

Thanks for the comment…

I completed a series of videos on night photography a few weeks ago; I think that perhaps these videos could be what you are looking for?

Depending on you level of photographic experience, I would recommend that you view some of my other videos about Depth of Field, Exposure etc prior to viewing my night photography series as I try to present all information in an easy to understand system.

I also mention DOF, exposure etc in the night photography series…

wow thanks for this video
do you have night photography video tips?
that would be amazing

Thank you for the comment, please keep watching my videos (I have a lot of them) and please let me know if I can assist you further…

Cheers
Dean.

Thanks for the great video!

Thanks for the comment, I hope that you can get a lot of good information out of my videos as I try to set them up in a easy to understand way that (hopefully) beginners and others can understand…

I try to take all of the technical stuff out of photography as I feel that it helps people enjoy their photography even more in a way it removes some of the confusion in photography and encourages people to experiment and perhaps even encourages you break a few of the rules…

Cheers Dean.

Nice video. I’m just starting to play with photography. This was helpful. Thanks.
