It was so refreshing to see someone mention not blowing out the highlights! I far too often see blown out skies and am hoping to soon see a turn around from this trend!
If blown highlights bug you, you can take two correct exposures, like in that example select the window panes and layer them in. I like the blown sky look sometimes and it's not any worse than murkiness you get brightening shadows in raw. There's other ways to deal with range: natural reflectors, avoid backlight, or bracket and layer.

Just a tip - faces aren't flat - use your hand as a fist when your looking to see how light falls - gives you a better representation of shadow fall off etc.
The biggest mistake is over expectations. As a beginner, i expected my photos to match those of pros. Sometimes this was good to keep me anxious to learning more but it also made me feel kinda discouraged when my photos dint look good or match those of pro photographers. Thanks btw!
You guys. THIS IS AMAZING! Absolutely in love with the way you've done this video - your style is epic! We are photographers from New Zealand and just starting out on RUclips (video is soooo new to us! haha) jumping in the deep end a wee bit but loving this new creative venture we're setting out on. You guys rock. Super inspiring. x
I just watched some of your videos. All the tips and tricks are awesome. Thank You So Much !! I will keep these things in mind next time. Keep making these videos. All the best.
This was actually a fantastic video. The amount of useful information you portraied in 3 minutes was perfect and it was also told in a visually appealing way, no time wasted with useless information. Instant sub.
Im so happy I found this channel :) Its hard to find photography youtubers who dont make beginners/amateurs feel bad for being inadequate. you guys actually give compelling advice in a humble way so thank you!
This is a channel filled with gold tips. Short, sweet, and full of content that other channels aren't putting out. These are real tips that other togs aren't sharing.
I dont really like commenting on youtube or even liking videos. BUT YOU GUYS ARE UH HANDS DOWN VERY INFORMATIVE AND YOUR WAY TO DELIVER IT IS SO SIMPLE YET EFFECTIVE! Thankyou
Couldn't agree more with these. I shoot video/film rather than still photography, but pull frames from much of my video work to populate my Instagram handle ( @reelreilly ), so attention to light and directing rather than trying to pose subjects is so critical to what I do. Also, points for use of "jimmy jimmy jam jams." Well-done.
Thanks. I've pretty much uploaded my stuff primarily to Vimeo, so my RUclips postings have been seriously lacking up until now. I've actually posted a bunch of stuff this morning. I primarily use FilmConvert and Magic Bullet Looks for my grades, as I like grain and a slight faded film look.
I love your videos! I learn so much just from watching you guys. I'm in college now for photography and I have greatly improved my photography skills from watching you guys, you're amazing!
Made all of these mistakes a large number of times when I started out. Still good to be reminded of them! Great content. Subbed! @evanferrell__photography
I sure I'm not the only person thinking this, but surely most beginner photographers don't shoot people but landscapes instead, shouldn't the video be more catered towards landscape photography. Sure, lighting and exposure is important in both but, only a small number of photographers are shooting (not) models for a living. Most of us shoot travel shots, or is that just me?
I started and with portraits actually and then occasionally shoot landscapes. I think it just depends on the photographer, you know. They start with the genre of the photo that they love. 😆😆
Omg this was extremely concise, with no mumbo jumbo. I once made these mistakes too but like had a hard time going thru and improving all the mistakes. But you guys made it so simple! Keep it up :)
New favourite channel !! I love it, it's short and full of good advice ! I really want to get better at photography so this will definitely help :) Thank you ♡
This might be really really simple and the things you say in the video are basic, but they hit home. And you're right they would have a huge effect on the photo. Especially the first bit of advice you gave regarding exposing and then using post processing to capture detail. Thank you!
This is very well explained! I am glad that I am already using some of the techniques u mentioned here for year but its great tips nonetheless. Keep up the good work guys!
hey. just wanted to shout out - love these tips! I expected crappy beginner tips but this is genuinely helpful. Keep going! I'm a new-ish photographer and look forward to more helpful videos like these!
This is amazing content! Like others I sub'ed immediately! I would love to see a part 2 of this video. And also am BEGGING for an entire video dedicated to directing instead of posing! I love the tid bit ya'll put in this video and can't wait for more. Sending love from Canada
Your photos are so stunning! I love how you guys explain things so simply and your tutorials are really easy to grasp! Could you guys do one on metering? I'm still confused as to how it works 😥
Excellent..in such a short video, you have given more than most I have seen here. Subscribed! I liked the idea of directing instead of posing..I am a street photographer at heart but do all kinds and I always liked natural poses and natural movements of the subject which for me, is at the heart of street photography.
i subbed i really like youre stuff i started with the "its not about the gear" video and continued to watch because i completely agree and i love these tips
I start taking photos a year ago..and didn't know about the highlights and that you can edit raw files in post edit(I don't know english very good..sorry if you can't understand..) You are some good photographers with skills...keep it up guys
It was so refreshing to see someone mention not blowing out the highlights! I far too often see blown out skies and am hoping to soon see a turn around from this trend!
optimists are sick of Pea Soup skies?
Except when shooting film then exposing for the highlights is bad. The video should be more clear that this tip only applies to digital.

Thomas Kirby that differs by the photographer.
