"…read your manual…" Yea right! 😉
Do you have any videos on real-estate photography?
I don't like this guy's tone
Love this!
amazing
What an inspiring talk! Some basics but also lots and lots of little tips helpful for beginner to intermediate. Thanks.
Very informative and entertaining. I am just starting out in photography and picked up a lot from this and your other presentations at this level. Cheers 🙂
Thank you Jeff, I am new to photography and this has been the most informative, helpful video, and I have been watching them all, ever! I really appreciate your clear direct style and helpful tips.
Hello , I don't have any idea about photography and how to use the professional camera , help me please how to start and if there is any courses on YouTube .
I can listen to you talk about photography all day❤️your amazing. I'm just starting out and bout a non-beginner camera(canon EOS 70D) which is a challenge learning but I have learnt so much from this video so THANKYOU. Is it weird that I was taking notes?
jeff is the best teacher for me! thanks B&H!!!
Great video…thanks for the invaluable information!
I still dont have idea , how to take portraits which looks warm and soft in colours. Is it setting related to white balance or people manipulate it in photoshop?
I enjoyed the video, but i did wish he really explained the triangle more. I need triangle for dummies. otherwise, i still learned lots!
cool stuff!
Thanks, jeff, learned a lot! Not sure about these negative comments, I know aperture things already and still learned from watching you talk about how you adjusted and set it for your shot. Now feeling confident to use it myself and get out of auto! Thanks!
Thanks for the lesson, most lessons don't bother with the basics.
This is NOT 101. This is simply… a slideshow of look at how good I am at taking shots to an audience that are possibly new to photography.
Within the first few minutes, you mention aperture and I am sure the majority of your class had no idea what you were talking about.
You may be good at photography, but you have lots of work to do on how to teach people how to take shots.
Holy crap… I havent even finished the video and my pictures are already better! IM SO EXCITED NOW!!!
Yes I did learn some great tips from this video ,but I have to question at what point do you honestly believe that you are that amazing enough to have your name embroidered onto your shirt ……. I mean who do these people think they are Picasso…? :/
Jeff, I really learned quite a lot from this video. You have renewed and re-inspired my interest in photography! Very well done!
Nice to know that even though I'm not formally trained, I've figured out pretty much all of this stuff on my own through trial and error. 🙂 For the longest time I was convinced all my strategies are completely unconventional. lol
learn more today by looking at your video than i learned in 4 semesters of college. thx jeff
Jeff, I wish I could carry you around in my pocket for quick advice!!!! Thank you for these videos, you have truly helped me. I find myself nodding a lot, things I know but need to be reinforced. Thank you again.
I'm new to photography and loving it. I've been watching a lot of these seminars on you tube. My question is about Full frame vs crop cameras. I have a a rebel T3i. I am interested in landscape photography and wonder if spending the money on a wide angle lens is really worth it for use on this camera body? If it is worth it what lens do you recommend for this camera? Or a lens that, if i buy a full frame camera, would work well with both. tHanks and i really liked the video. I learned new things.
Very informative video. Thank you very much!
Btw, Jeff keeps mentioning the seminar he did later on that day at 4 o'clock. I think it was how to edit Raw files in Photoshop etc. Is that seminar on here (youtube)?
Was a great watch, thank you for the tips!
Are you still monitoring this webpage?
was about to spend money on basic photography, then found this. Lets see how much worth this video is 🙂 .
I really enjoyed this video. Thanks!!
First time I can understand the explanations and directions awesome video!!!!
Very interesting and informative video. One of the best I have seen, especially with all of the photo critiques within the video. Thank you!
I love b and h
This guy is awesome! His excitement and love for photography is contagious. Really really really worth watching!
hi i'm a novice amateur photographer and i'm starting to experiment on the focus and recompose technique using single point AF. How good and how efficient is this technique when shooting non action shots? if i lock on the eyes then recompose my shot, would the eyes be tact sharp? thanks for the help.
Thank you Jeff for this awesome tutorial. Wow!
