  1. Q: When someone says “take it down one stop” what is that exactly? The
    equivalent of going from F-4.5 to 3.5? Even when they’re not talking about
    aperture which is referred to as F stop I think. For example when he was
    talking about exposure comp, he said you could compensate one stop in
    either direction or something. Please explain! Just getting into
    photography :p

  2. Hi, I tried doing a portrait of my daughter with my settings at f4.5(the
    lowest my lens will go), but my camera doesn’t blur the background
    completely. I focused right into my daughter’s eyes and set the 9 focus
    point to just one (her eyes), ISO 400 (I was indoors). I’m currently using
    my t3 with the 18-55 IS II lens kit. Is it because my lens doesn’t go lower
    than 4.5? Thanks for answering! 

  3. Thanks for all the explanations! I just got my cannon T3 (due to it’s low
    price, my budget and its reputation) which I’m currently learning how to
    use. 

  4. Wow…I never knew a thing about all this. I have a canon 600d and I have
    just started using it in its righteousness. 

  5. 2:46 shooting modes
    6:30 aperture
    15:50 ISO
    22:23 burst mode
    24:59 focus modes
    30:27 back focus
    35:58 focal points
    41:10 exposure comp
    44:30 white balance
    46:28 highlight control
    49:17 metering
    53:14 live view
    56:27 flash
    1:03:26 image stabilisation
    1:04:23 the beep
    1:05:13 custom menu

  6. Regarding exposure comp: Why not change aperture/shutter speed as opposed
    to using EC? e.g. I want a shot to be under-exposed, so I increase shutter
    speed (just an example, not something I do for every shot).

  7. Hi Jeff, Just came across you video here and was wondering about your
    method for you back button metering in different lighting situations. You
    are just using AV on you camera and when you point camera down to your mid
    tone you are using the the back button to lock exposure as long as you keep
    it pressed right? What I did not understand is how can you use this in
    situations where you could have subjects that are more strongly backlit or
    in deeper shadow. I tried it and it seems that the stronger backlighting
    affects the image anyway and creates a darker image. Seems very confusing
    to me

  8. Hi Christian, of course there is a lot of truth in your tutorials and I
    appreciate learning from them. In my mind the only bad picture is the one
    not taken. In fact I have learned a lot more from bad pictures than from
    good once. I find it hard to implement these your “cold hard rules” in my
    own photography and if I would follow your Tudor system I would never take
    a picture at all.

    Cheers

    Ulrich

  9. Another great video Christian, always find them helpful. And there was NO
    sleazy music, it was all good. Look forward to seeing your next video :)
