  1. Fantastic video. Well explained information regarding apertures and lighting. What other ways can we get dynamic lighting in photography without having off camera flashes? Bounce light is easy, but how can you replicate flashes?

  2. This proves that it's in fact more about who's behind (and in front of 😉 ) the camera than about the equipment. We can tell that we have an expert at work here, since these pictures are just awesome. Well done!

  3. I HAVE A QUESTION!! I'm new to DSLR Photography, I use a Sony a68 & it came with a lens! I want to use it to work on cine photography as well at portraits (people) why would I need a different type of lens/specific lens for portraits!?!? What are some good lens tips when buying for portraits?

  4. Haha, so you don't need a lot of equipment, not even expensive stuff. You only need a cheap bright 85 mm lens, a cheap assistant, a cheap softbox, a cheap reflector, and a cheap radio remote control. That's all, folks ?

  5. This is not only an excellent guide to understanding your digital camera and getting the most out of it, but also an excellent basic guide to photography. The reader will learn some of the basic differences and benefits of having a digital camera and how to make the most out of its features. Never having had a great deal of experience with photography in general, I was pleased to get my hands on something that not only helped me to understand what all of those different setting on my digital camera do, but to help me take better video in general. https://plus.google.com/b/117576921052578751760/117576921052578751760/posts/Fk3sfQJu8AY
