Are you a beginner photographer?
Have you just picked up your first digital SLR or have you had one for a while, but you're
not happy with the results.
Well, I've created my most comprehensive video today.
It is a three hour long video guide that's going to help you go above and beyond auto.
I wish I had a guide like this 18 years ago when I started as a photographer.
It would have given me the ability to save months if not years of time trying to figure
all of this way out on my own so please allow myself and this guide to be your mentor.
What are we going to cover in this guide?
We're going to hit the fundamentals of photography.
The type of information that you're going to take with you throughout your whole career
as a photographer.
We're going to hit things like what is the exposure triangle?
What do I do if my picture is over or under exposed?
How I get tack sharp images?
What focus mode should I use?
What metering mode should I use and what's a good composition?
We're going to hit that and much, much more.
So this guide is going to give you the confidence to unlock the power of your digital SLR.
It's the closest you can get to being at one of my boot camps without actually being there.
So I'm not just going to sit there and tell you how to do things.
I'm actually going to demonstrate it.
You get to follow me on four photo shoots.
You get to be there as my assistant pretty much when I make mistakes, but then I figure
out what I did wrong and explain to you what I did and show you how I made the corrections.
So if you would like to pickup this guide today you can download it below it's a digital
download.
That means you can watch it over and over again, and yet if you decide to pick it up
today I'm going to include a 20 minute long bonus video that's going to give you the five
year plan how to make money as a photographer and how to market yourself.
So let's take a sneak peek inside this video guide.
So you just heard me about F stop.
You heard me talk about how depth of field works and now the best way to, to show you
how that really, really works is to do this right here with this frog who I become well
acquainted to.
But what does it actually look like when you get a picture at 1.8 first I'll picture at
22, what's going on here?
Well, what's going on is that your depth of field is changing.
A shallow depth of field is what you see when you're shooting at 1.8.
It's very narrow so your focus point or your area of focus is very small.
As the numbers go up all the way through here to 22 your focus is changing so more things
are going to be in focus from front to back so that's important to keep in mind.
So what we're doing here is I'm going to photograph the frog and I'm going to focus in on its
eye at 1.8 then I'm going to work my way all the way upto 22 so that you can see what's
happening to the background.
Then we're going to talk about it and figure out you know the little subtleties that are
going on.
So right now I have the camera set to aperture priority.
But a aperture priority means that I'm setting my aperture.
I'm picking where I wanted and the camera is then going to select the shutter speed
for a proper exposure.
Let's shoot at 1.8 so I'm at f/1.8 right now.
I focused in on the frog's eye boom.
That's 1.8.
Let's take it to f/2.8.
There she is.
It's a nice smile.
Now on making sure I almost did this.
Here I'm going to shoot it.
There I cut her finger off and I saw, so that's why I didn't shoot it initially but now I'm
recomposing boom.
I'm making sure that I have her finger in there and I do, so that is really sharp.
You can see in the pictures that the background is nice and blowing out.
When we talk about blowing out its compressed so that's the point of using a piece of glass
like this, and I'm probably going to switch to the bigger piece of glass with 300 to 8
in a few minutes so that we can see how we can really compress the background, step away
from the tree and make a parking lot look really awesome so we're going to come back
to that in a couple of seconds.
Well, why don't you sit back on it?
Speaker 2: Which way you want me to go?
Speaker 1: Just face that way but just rest your tuchas on it.
So now we're ready to photograph the swing here.
I'm locking in on the tripod just so that I have a something that's not moving so that
each image kind of stays similar.
Right now I'm set to shutter priority and that means that I'm setting the shutter speed
and the camera is going to do the rest of the work to make sure that it's exposed properly
so I'm going to start at one-tenth of a second.
Remember how slow that was.
You could hear the sound of how slow that was when we were testing and letting you hear
the different shutter speed.
Now, let's see what happens when we move the swing and shoot it at a tenth of a second,
so I'm going to try to capture the swing at the very bottom boom, and as we look at the
swing you can see that its -- its kind of hard to see because it's actually blurring.
It's blurring because the shutter is moving really slow and there's some motion to the
swing so we have to think what do we need to know to freeze that swing that is moving.
Let's try something a little faster like one-sixtieth of a second.
I hope you enjoyed that sneak peek inside this video guide and you can click down below
to purchase it and don't forget if you pick it up now, I'll give you a 20 minute long
bonus video that is packed full of amazing information.
