25 tips!! That’s so many! Really appreciate every last one of them. It’s hard to know where to start as a beginner. Especially when you’re jumping from a cell phone to a full manual camera. I get so many people that cant believe what we do as photographers with a camera. It really is more than just the equipment. On my youtube channel i concentrate on high school senior portraits.

I’m new to photography and you are the best instructor I’ve found. I purchased my Canon Rebel T7i in August, since then my brother and sister have both gotten their new Nikon cameras after I told them about mine and how much I was enjoying playing around with it. We’ve all been following your tips and tutorials. We each one of us are in our 70s and live across the USA and this new hobby keeps us engaged in something outside of the COVID-19 epidemic during the past couple of months. Thanks for your wonderful videos.

I have so many favorites, but I do like the shutter speed for blurring moving images. I just bought my first DSLR camera and have to say, I find your video tutorials the best on KZfaq. I bought a used Canon T6i and having so much fun with it. My next purchase is lens hoods. When I get better then maybe I'll buy a mirrorless camera in the future. Thank you and keep up the awesome content.

Brilliant tips for us beginners Paul, my particular favourite is slowing your shutter speed down for getting lightning strikes and fireworks, lightning strikes are on my most wanted list, bring on the next storm 😉👍 learning so much from your videos, your advice on photographing the moon got me some great results on my second attempt after an epic fail on my first attempt when I didn’t have a “Scooby Do” what I was doing 👍
