thank you… You made it clear and easily understandable…
Sir, I am planning to buy a dslr for serious wedding photography .. my budget limits me to canon 80 or 6d . which one should I go ?!
Wow. You are the Neil DeGrasse Tyson of photography
Well, it is possible to capture to the same exposure as we see with our eyes, by using a flash 🙂 I know, it's not the same view exactly, since the light angle changes etc, but you get the point.
I have a doubt and hope that you will be able to help me with this
Imagine a scene that's too bright for my camera's sensor and I want to capture as much detail as possible in that scene.. let's say my camera has an APS-C sensor
I would probably have to reduce my exposure appropriately so that the very bright scene can become visible..
Now what if I capture the same scene with a medium format camera which has a pixel count of just 6 megapixels
The reason I am making this assumption is that I want the individual photo sites to be large enough to capture a bright scene like that without getting saturated at normal exposure
I am curious to know if the colors in this normal exposure would be more natural than the colors that I will get in the reduced exposure with the APS-C sensor
Thank you for the great information and explanation I really understand. You are a great teacher.
thaaaaaaaaaanks my teacher ! respeeeeeeect

You sound like morgan freeman. You can control people with that voice 🙂

At 4:20 did he say "when your eyes saying more dynamic range than my camera I should AVOID or USE HDR?". Thank you.

Ben Long, you're my hero! I have learned so much about photography since I've watched some of your courses on Lynda.com and that's why I keep coming back. Thanks so much!
I couldn't explain the DR half as well as you did. Very well done!
