For my money, some of the best videos out there. One of the best reasons for shooting manual is when the subject is in constant light, but the background shifts. Exposing the bird correctly means you don't have to worry when a bird in flight goes from a dark background to a light background or vice versa. Thank you, again, for all the great vids.

Brilliant video. I started in manual. Failed miserably. Then moved to shutter priority. Was underexposing the photos and was also editing. Now at aperture priority. Pretty happy with this. Will now graduate to manual mode.

@nordic5490 2 жыл бұрын

If your camera supports exposure compensation in manual mode use it - your work will be 10x easier. Ie, just leave the is on auto, and adjust the exposure as necessary. Fully manual shutter, aperture and iso, is just too unnecessarily hard.

@Duade 2 жыл бұрын

They are very similar when you think about it, you set your Aperture and SS and then adjust one dial. In Auto ISO you adjust the exposure comp, in manual you simply turn the ISO dial left or right. They effectively work the same as in you are just adjusting one dial. As I mentioned earlier, there is no right or wrong way to set your exposure and I encourage trying all these different modes and choosing the one that is right for you. Cheers, Duade

Aditya, I highly encourage you to also try Exposure Compensation whilst in Shutter Priority as this will help with stopping underexposed images. Manual is also great to understand how all the settings work together. Cheers, Duade

@hy7968 7 ай бұрын

I usually shoot in manual with auto iso. It’s just much quicker to get the correct exposure especially since I use a dslr and need to use live view to check exposure. I usually use spot metering and the camera gets it right most of the time. But in harsh lighting situations I might just switch to full manual.

Best advice here is to get out and experiment as much as possible. Things get clearer and clearer. You get a bad result and you try to sort out why. Then go back and try again. The more you do this the better it gets. In the last few weeks I have been getting out more. I am getting used to the camera, (R5). When I come back to this video (which is EXCELLENT) I understand something that I missed my first few times through. Thanks for this video. It is a great help. I will keep coming back to this. Ultimately I want to get to the point that I can set an exposure much more quickly than I can now. It is coming along. I am starting to adopt the exposure setting steps that Dwade recommends. Seems to be working pretty darn well.

Very good tutorial on exposure. Not mentioned is how in very bright red, green and blue colors will clip and blow out detail first in that channel but the clipping not alway be indicated on either the B&W histogram or ‘blinky” highlight over-exposure warning. This is a common problem in human portraiture where the red channel will clip first in skin highlights resulting in yellowish waxy look in the image which can’t be corrected. In Photoshop clipping in the individual channels can be visualized in Levels by first selecting an individual channel (e.g. Red) and then opt+clicking the highlight triangle on the histogram.

@Duade Жыл бұрын

Thanks for the feedback Teddy, so do you underexposed slightly to protect those colours? Cheers, Duade 👍

@TeddyCavachon Жыл бұрын

@@Duade I gauge exposure via the highlight warning on solid white objects in a scene keeping all but the specular highlights below clipping in the playback, also checking the RGB histogram. I bring the highlights back up in post processing of the RAW files as needed. My standard editing technique in Photoshop is to use masked duplicate layers, one set to screen to selectively “dodge” areas and the other to “multiply” to selectively burn in image areas, very much like back in the day making B&W prints.

When I was working [motorsport] what was impossible to meter was a car/motorcycle driving with headlights on, you had to be full manual, which was a pain when the light was going up and down. I started out in the seventies, film, 100/200/400, groan. Now life is almost a dream, I mean, 12,800 ISO! But I tend to under expose by 2/3 stop, after all you can pull detail from the shadows but never recover blown highlights. These days software makes a lot of difference too, I had stopped using my 7Dii, but now, with Topaz denoise AI I am using it a little more.

Excellent explanations, I got my wife into bird photography recently, I have been doing photography for years. We have feeders set up outside our kitchen window. Before I bought her camera for her for Christmas I would leave mine on the counter and when something flew in she would always want to take pics but didn't know how. I shoot in straight manual and I have a14 year old Nikon that has horrible noise above 500-800. So to make her life easy and not have to switch back between auto/manual I would just set the aperture/ set the Iso and showed her the shutter wheel, told her if to bright turn to the right, to dark turn to the left. Can't get any easier than that. Would love to upgrade my body to have better iso range, some day!!

Richard, good luck, I think just trying these different modes gives us a deeper understanding of how our settings work and impact our shots. Cheers, Duade

Great video… I always tell folks who just getting started with photography that the time to start learning to shoot manually is not on your Safari or vacation! It’s best to start about 3 months before your trip to give yourself time to become proficient… There is nothing wrong with shooting in AUTO or SIMI AUTO or one of the SCENE MODES if your camera has them. It’s better than missing the shot of the best moments during your trip.

Another excelent video in your series. An exposure meter works by assuming the average subject reflects 18% of the light falling on it. Therefore any subject reflecting more or, less than the 18% will be over or under exposed. I seam to remember 18% is mid tone grey, as you mentioned. Self illuminating subjects such as the sky or reflection on water also give false reading and will under expose the picture. Meters also seam to be disproportionately affected by brighter subjects .. Thanks for the videos Duade

I really like your channel . Glad I found it. One thing I found helps on later Sony bodies is to assign one of the buttons (I use the AEL) button as a custom recall. It's set for 'perched birds or stopped animals'. It's based on auto ISO so I just change the EV as required. I have it set for 1/400th. I leave my front shutter set for flight or high motion and adjust from there. It's a very handy feature.

@Duade Жыл бұрын

Thanks Brian, good idea, I assume this leads to the lowest ISO for perched birds to increase your IQ? Cheers, Duade

@wildlifebybrianhoule Жыл бұрын

@@Duade yes. It’s such a great lesson for anyone new because you can immediately see the drop in iso. Unfortunately I can’t manually adjust iso so I’m at the mercy of the camera which is why I’ll adjust ev. Hopefully Sony can make this change in a future update. But it works fantastic in a pinch.

Duade, again another great video (again, I get camera envy with the R5... someday I hope to get it or one like it) versus my Older Canon EOS 6D. But what I really appreciated about this video was the information on older cameras and lenses and how exposure settings work that you provided as well as the newer R5 model - not easy to do both but you pulled it off. I have watched the video 3 times and have learned some great information concerning settings and have been practicing by going into shade and bright light settings on purpose out in the field... or waiting for a bird to creep into a shadowy area just to see the difference...make corrections...practice makes perfect. I really like how you simplified working with the Histogram. Very valuable information. Again thank you for another great video.

Thank You so much what a fantastic video to educate on the complicated formula for correct exposure...you have mastered the setting well, and your images are amazing. I was very happy to see you pull out your old Canon and do the demonstration. I shoot Nikon, and am thinking I need to go mirrorless...but my budget is not saying yes. I think the more I work with all the tools you have shown and how to get "better" results that I can put off the purchase of the Z 6II or Z 7II...always good to know everything one can do to imporve with out spending lots of $$$. So happy I have stumbled onto your channel...I am hooked!

Thanks Sheila, that is great to hear, yes, older gear is still very much capable of taking wonderful shots. Mirrorless will continue to improve and I think Nikons mirrorless D500 will be an excellent camera to wait for. Cheers, Duade
