*Why so many dislikes? Dude just explained it perfectly!!* The analogy of the water, bucket, and time is just perfect, even better than the famous triangle. Thank you!

The actual Math starts at 9:12

This is the SIMPLE MATH of correct exposure?! Holy shit!

This is the best explanation for manual exposure I’ve ever heard on the internet! Love the analogy to water pipes! 🚿 It’s 8 years old but still gold

This is probably the best lesson online! I've watched many of this kind and this one does a good job explaining basics of photography.

It's all relative. It's all in what you want. There is no definitive answer that the beginning photo is under exposed. It may be perfectly exposed for the intended use as a dark background scene. The best photography class is to go out and take thousands of pictures, tens of thousands of pictures, then choose one or two that you think turned out the way you like. Build from there, but keep on shooting.

I'm probably being very adolescent here, but am I the only person that giggled at the sight of the pink hose? Sorry, I just couldn't help myself.

This is the most comprehensive and simplest explanation of the relationship between the 3 parameters (iso - aperture - shutter speed) - this explanation goes a bit further to explain the concept of stops - which is not done / tackled in other videos - well done

The best in-your-face visual/voice instruction videos hands down!!

jack002tuber, Hand holding your camera. A simple way you can look at it is: If your lens is at 50mm you will need at least 1/50 shutter speed. 70mm you will need at least 1/70 shutter speed. 100mm = 1/100 and so on. Using VR (Nikon, Vibration reduction) or IS (Canon, Image stabilization) will give you an an extra couple of stops to play with as well. So 100mm you can shoot as slow as 1/25 instead of 1/100. I wont confuse you too much with the difference between cropped and full frame sensors now. But if you are using a cropped sensor (which you probably are)...Multiply those numbers by 1.6 for Canon and 1.5 for Nikon.

A precise and simple explanation of a subject most people overcomplicate. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.

heres one simple basic guide to help u all... never reduce the shutter speed so as not to blur your pictures due to camera shake etc .. try not to go lower the 1/50 if you can help it.. shoot at average aperture of 5.6 or 4 or lower eg 3.5 or 2.8 if its getting dark (night) and if photo is still dark then bump up the iso till you get a pic you are happy with.. iso 200 or 400 or 800 or 1600 or 3200..keep bumping the iso up.. too high u may get bit grainy but at least u got a decent pic.. in the daytime iso 100 to 800 if needed should take care of most things..tip.. use av mode on camera..play with iso to get good shutter speed and exposure..this is just a basic guide which will improve your pics overnight..Hope it helps..Riz (Moments in time. by riz ali photography)

Terrific tutorial. Clearly laid out and thorough. Thanks!

This was so informative and easy to follow, the diagrams really helped me put everything together!

The supposed under-exposure at the beginning is far more interesting than the "correct" exposure. The mystery and moodiness make you look longer at the image in a state of wonder and curiosity. It's an artistic concept called apophasis. It's fucking beautiful.

Best explanation I seen! Thank you for this. I am trying to learn my Nikon D5100, had it for 4 years and have learned from many, but never really understood, just followed the numbers and took lots of pictures to see the differences, however you helped me visualize exactly what I'm doing now with all these crazy numbers.

Thanks .Clear explanation.if you add or decrease a stop then do the same to another parameter. I have another explanation with Algeria LHS = RHS keep ISO fixed Apperture = Shutter speed Eg 5.6 = 1/500 Decrease by one stop =Increase by one stop 4 = 1/250 And vise versa When we cannot go beyond F4 Then decrease or increase ISO and Shutter speed. For eg We cannot go beyond F4 The to decrease by one stop ISO go for ISO 50 and increase shutter speed by one stop ISO 50 =SS 1/500 Hope this helps

He really explained it so well how the three basic elements of photography are related. SUPERB!!!

I really appreciated this video because although I could go out and mess around with manual mode all day like some of you say and not saying I won't this helps me because being the very visual person I am If I see a shot and decided oh that will look good "underexposed" or "overexposed" I now know how to balance it out to get what I envision or to at least try and most likely get better results.

THIS! thank you for a great explanation.

Really liked the bucket metaphor. I understood the basic concept coming in but that particular metaphor brought it all together.

It's actually easy once you understand why. One stop down is half as much light, one stop up is twice as much light. If your more interested in aperture "More or less back ground seen in the photo" higher gives more back ground ie f22 or less f2.0 Shutter priority gives more control over contrast, motion "speed" and time film\sensor is exposed to light. You can fool the camera with EV + - settings as well. This only applies if the area of interest light is metered correctly. One reason light meters are a valuable tool as light comes from different spectrums not values.

You make the best tutorials on KZfaq. I am downloading them all so I can view

This is the greatest analogy I have ever seen.

Finally, a good teacher! Thanks for your video!

This is very helpful!! Thank you so much for this great video!

thank you so much for taking the time to explaine this concept to me and the others it was realy simple and clever !!

I have watched hundreds of photography videos------yippee-----I finally get it---thank you so very much!!!!!

You are very good at explaining, with great analogy's. Thanks again.

Forgetting that while all 3 variables controls the exposure they also each have a secondary function and/or trade off. Shutter speed means u either freeze motion or get motion blur, aperture is going to determine your DOF (as well as the focal length of lens) and ISO is going to make image clearer or more grainy. So when setting the exposure you have to sacrifice something. With shutter speed the work around is use a tripod or find a way to stabilize it. But say if you want to shoot at F1.8 but image is over exposed and you also wanna freeze motion but you also want a clear grain free image, it can't be done unless u have the ability to add loads of lights which is the alternative. Otherwise you're gonna have to sacrifice something. So you may have to increase aperture but you lose the bokeh that you might have wanted or you sacrifice shutter speed and retain that bokeh but you may have a problem with motion blur depending on the subject, or you can sacrifice ISO but will result in a grainy image.

Great explanation of exposure ! Good example using balanced stool !

This is a great tutorial. Easy to understand and follow.

I respect your digital photography tips on math of correct exposure. so educative! Regards!

I really appreciate this. Thank you for taking your time to help others.

This is a seriously excellent video tutorial. Thank you.

wow nicely explained.. easy to remember.. Thanks a lot. Great job..

Awesome explanation, thank you!

Very helpful! Thank you!! You taught it in a way that makes it easier for me to learn & remember. I look forward to watching more of your videos:) ~Donna

Best explanation so far! Thanks dude!

Thank You this has helped me very much!!!

Clear explanation, easy to understand.

I would like to thank you for the explanation. I am no Einstein or mathematician but I understood all of it.

thank you very much that was no brainer explanation and very straight to the point good job.

Great job! A simple analogy to understand exposure.

I normally like to control 2 sides of the exposure triangle and let the camera control the 3rd. I usually have it in aperture priority with a manual ISO or manual mode with auto ISO. If it's looking too bright or too dark I use the exposure compensation. If I'm in daylight or on a tripod I will use aperture priority with ISO 100 because in daylight it might choose like 1/200 s or 1/600 s which doesn't really have any effect on what the photo looks like. If I'm using a tripod in low light and the subject is totally static then the shutter speed doesn't affect what the photo looks like. If I'm using it hand held in low light I will set the shutter to the longest I can hold it still for which is usually 1 / 35 mm equivalent focal length, set the desired aperture and let the camera decide the ISO.

Great video! One of the best pieces of advice I received on exposure was if the lighting is decent or better, is keep your camera in Auto ISO. Then based on what you're trying to accomplish you can choose to shoot in Aperature or Shutter Priority. This is similar to what you alluded to having to do in the days of Film.

VERY EASY WAY TO GET INTO THIS, YOU TAUGHT VERY SIMPLE GREAT , GOOD TEACHER ILU

Very good video and def good points of explanation. Now my question is how do you know when you have "Correct exposure" when introducing a speedlight to your image. For example when I use the stock on camera flash I usually use my exposure meter to determine when I raise or lower a factor being iso, aperture, or shutter speed to compensate for the flash. Also when the flash pops up on my camera it shows that I will be over exposing or under exposing if i use the flash but when I use a speedlight it does not give me the same output. Anyone help please

Does the math change when you use an extended lens on your standard lens?

Is their a video that explains how you know what to set all those on to get the right exposure? For example, if you set the ISO at 400 how do you calculate what to set the f stop and and shutter speed?

Know it all. Always looking for at good way to explain it to newcomers. You nailed it. Thank you :-)

Detail discussion on exposure considering Aperture,Shutter Speed,& ISO is helpful in learning Photography. This lesson is required in learning. Very Very Important.Thanks

You are a Mad Scientist. I thought you were the gentleman on Khan Academy with the drawings & “the” voice😚. I completely enjoyed the teaching with the size of the bucket- ISO, width of the pipe- Aperture, amount of time to dispense light- Shutter Speed, were wonderful Picture Word References 🙏🏾

Thanks for the nice explanation.

very good explanation.

Thanks for the video ;) I love the analogies

Fantastic job! I appreciate the time and effort it took to make this clip. Those who condemn this effort are the kind of people who vote for politicians because of excellence in another pursuit, an example would be voting for a retired athlete or because a campaigner wore a nice tie, or because the politician message is a nice catchy phrase. Photograph at its core is not simple, if you want simple stick with your smart phone.

very good example of basic photography.

I don't know what everyone is going on about. I thought this video was very helpful. I think it really depends on how people learn. For some people it may be beneficial to break it down through simple metaphors. I do wish there was a little more time spent on the math, but it's a fairly simple concept in the first place (meaning there's really not much to be said about it...in my opinion.)

Nicely done!

Excellent explanation.

Really helpful, thanks.

I like how you explain things. I know a lot of what you've said in this video, but I like how you teach people. :) Nice one. (being English, I wish people would say "maths", but that's by-the-by).

Great explanation !

Fantastic!!! Thank you!!!!

Great analogies!

Great comparison to the running water!

Thank you! Learnt alot

very helpful thanks.

great tutorial,thank you..

Great video. What program do you use to draw on the screen like that?

great lesson! thnx!

Good explanation on shuttle_Apecture_iso and stop(s). Thks.

Thanks for explaining this in a easy way to understand. Any tricks to calculate these figures in an emergency? Like on the road, in a party, due to lightning conditions and were people moving? Also about a lenses. Only one. On much money to buy many lenses. Thanks 🍎

Looking for a chart of traditional light stops, maybe put a link for one in the description to make things easier on the viewers

very clear and easy to understand. can finally get the camera off auto

Sir I learn so much from you thankyou

You’ve provided a great explanation on how to *adjust* the exposure triangle. But how do you *establish* the exposure triangle to begin with? Meaning, how do you know which shutter speed, iso, and aperture is proper to start?

Thanks, this was helpful!

love this needed this

you can also throw in exposure compensation as well

Thank you!

subscribed. You explained in details. Mabuhay ka !

very nicely explained. thank you..!! :)

Verry clear explenation .

cool review man when is a photo over exposure maybe when the shutter speed is too low

A person. Giving lecture.. who is totally confused and diviated with his core topic.. come on man.. time is precious!

this is all good and well, but the question is; what about the water source? i.e the scene and intensity/spread of light- the water pressure. That is a huge variable in the equation especially when the pressure is never set (the 18% assumed grey as you put it). Or is that explained by metering a midtone? I do Like the video and the stool metaphor though haha

nicely explained

Thank you so much

Thanks, it was a very good video

Great video!

Can you please explain how to hand write on the screen?

Awesome thanks!!

excellent video!

holy sht it actually makes sense now. thank you

Is it correct when light let is increased u are reducing iso. Is it not reversely proportional.

damn. I fell asleep. but I was pretty tired

Half box speed always meter for the shadows! With c41 you will never fail.
