  1. Hi! Thanks for your tutorials, they’re awesome! Can you please tell how can i get the night club effect to my photos, what’s the name of this effect?

  2. lovely explanation , thank you . I have one question , it may sound stupid . i have a Nikon D3200 and i set all of the settings before I take a picture , The camera gets ready and focusses and all that , makes the right sounds , but , does not shoot at all even if i click the shoot button . what am I doing wrong?

  4. Thank you very much. Just like photography, teaching is also an art. Some people only express that in their pictures. I can do that in both, my teachings and photography. Thanks for watching. :)

  5. You are by far the best teacher ever!!! I have gone to workshops, schools, seminars and know one, know one has explained this in this manner. I thank you for taking the time from your busy life to help us.

  6. Some what yes, but Lightroom has it’s limitation as well. We should try to get it right in the camera and tweak in LR if necessary.

  7. Thank you much. I always try to concentrate on quality and not quantity. You won’t find BS videos on my channel just to get extra hits. Once again, thank you.

  8. I have started watching your videos. Without a lie i have to say, i have learn a lot of things from u which i could not found in other’s channel. Thank u so much.

  11. i have to agree that your videos are great in that you show examples…i like how you show what to look for in the viewfinders and stuff and in some where you actually take the photo and show us the settings and the difference between one setting vs. another.

  12. great vids man. on the first photo did u ever think of exposing for the background and using fill flash for the boots?

  13. for me if i like the way the photo looks then its properly exopsed, most cameras have a histogram. i dont know if he has done a vid on histogram, i just found his channel and im trying to catch up. haha

  14. Hi Jib,
    really like your videos and try to follow them all.
    I am new to DSLR Photography and trying to learn fundamentals. I recently bought a Nikon D5100. And have a few questions on this topic:

    - Why can’t we use or why doesn’t exposure compensation mean anything in Manual mode?
    - In Aperture Priority mode, F3.5, 1/60S, flash on, my camera was showing all the way -ve on the scale. To get the pointer back to 0, had to bring the exposure down to (-2.0) instead of increasing it.. Why is it so?

  15. You teach really well… I hope you make it big dude … You really are genuine !

  16. Thanks man! I don’t know how people can BS in every video and the viewers sit through and accept it. One guy has 700 videos and I yet have to see a video from him that’s worth watching. Product pushing, trying to get as many hits to make a few bucks and in the end… the beginners learn 1/10 of what they should. I’m trying to concentrate on the quality than quantity. I’m glad you see that.

  17. I really appreciate the photo examples you give at the end of your tuts. I swear, no one else on youtube does that. They just talk about it. This is why your my favorite. I can actually SEE what you are talking about.

  18. You can actually check it in lightroom3 if it’s under/over exposed. Sometimes certain parts are overexposed but if they’re not the main subject, you let it go. The reason why you have aperture/shutter mode because over 90% of the photographer using non-auto mode, use aperture priority mode. It’s quicker and faster. When the light meter gets fooled, you switch to manual to make those minor adjustments. Any camera with manual setting will have individual controls for aperture/shutter.

  19. Hi,u mentioned ur unsure if the pic is properly exposed, how will u ever tell, does the camera have a way to tell you? also im just getting in2 dslrs & im wondering why there r aperture & shutter priority modes at all as in manual u can adjust the aperture2give u a nice blur&then shutter speed 2 allow light in, the same the other way adjust the shutter speed to capture movement how u like&adjust the aperture to allow more light in 2get the right exposure, is this right,&is it the way you work?

  20. Thank you! I actually design these T-shirts. They are listed on my website at PhotographersOnUTube(dot)com

  21. Wow I absolutely “”"LOVE”"” you T-shirt. Very Cool !!!! Can your shirt be purchase online? Where did you get it from.

  22. lol. I’ve been through those Einstein moments but I had to discover most things on my own after making so many mistakes. Last time I went to Sarasota. I just loved the beaches there. This time I’ll be going to St. Petersburg which is 20 minutes from Sarasota. Thank you for watching the videos. Do share some pictures on facebook. :)

  23. Where in Florida, I would like to meet also. I have been following you in Florida. I must say after watching your tutorials, I get the Einstein moment, the lightbulb goes on and everything makes sense.

    Thank You mate!

  24. That was very kind of you. I used to be a financial consultant but wanted to do something that I enjoy. Now I make a fraction of what I used to but I enjoy this a lot. I believe I had left a comment on one of your videos. Your outdoor photography is really nice. Again, thank you for your kind words.

  25. Hello, Good Job..! I have been following you for about 6 months now and have found a lot of good information in your videos. Thanks..! Since retiring in 2005, I have taken up photography and find it rewarding in so many ways. My wife is the president of a local Artisans Guild and I am able to show my amateur photography in many of her art shows…even sold three in the last year. Perhaps it was due to your free help through these videos. My Point…..is Thank You for all your help.
