I've said it before and I'll say it again, the step by step tutorial where you show us where the settings are is like having an in person class with you. My photography has gotten so much better since watching your channel 😊. Thank you.
Thank you all for your kind words. I have no formal training in teaching, I simply love photography and get a huge kick out of helping others to do the same. Thanking you for your support which is very much appreciated. Paul.
I know there are a lot of videos out there, but in my opinion, the format that you use for teaching works best for me. I have my camera out and binge watching your videos. I'll probably re-watch these videos several times. Thank you for uploading videos to teach us. You are truly a Photo Genius!!
Although theoretically I know what shutter speeds can do with capturing an image in a camera, your concrete demonstrations, shot samples, and clear explanation makes even a long time shooter like me, get a refresher course on the topic. Thank you Paul for your videos as always.
You are god sent for us beginners. You have been the BEST that has happend to me. No matter how much tutorial i have watched no one can explained, in proper detail like you. Thanks so very much. You are the best that could happen to our photography world. Keep it up.
Best explanation I've seen yet on helping me to understand the shutter , it' has literally had me frozen in my tracks, because I have been so afraid of messing it up & getting nothing but blur. I've been shooting for over 5 yrs & all in manual. but when it comes to this, I think I freak myself out. I will be watching this again , so I can get it to sink in my ' noodles up top " . You made it sound so simple. Thank you so much 😊👋
Thank you, Paul. I'm a newbie and haven't got any of the cameras you use, but because you explain things in such a simple easy manner with proper graphics and not take for granted we know the different buttons, that is not a problem. My photography improves every time I go out. So, thank you again.
Since just getting my Canon EOS T7 2000D 2 months ago. I've learned how to use my camera and take really nice photos by watching your tutorials. I feel that, any New person wanting to learn. Definitely should follow your learning tutorials.
Wow, great explanations! Thank you so much, makes it so much easier to understand these concepts and how they actually work. I really have a love for photography, but understanding the camera and how it works has been a struggle for me. I’ve been shooting in auto for years because of this, but your videos are so helpful that I’ve started playing with the settings. This video really so helpful in making shutter speed and exposure clear for me. I feel like I just had an aha moment 😊.
Hi Paul, Nick here, greetings from Romania... thanks for your very practical videos. I just purchase a Panasonic Lumix FZ82 camera, just wait for spring time to get out and shoot :)
Love your tutorials! You are concise and give great examples enough that I can take easy notes to refer back to whenever I've forgotten what I'm supposed to be doing. Thanks, Paul!
Thanks, for another great video. 15 years as a dslr user and I'm still a beginner, only recently ventured off of "auto". I especially liked the live view section showing the image becoming clearer and clearer. I think I might try using that ( With a tripod) to avoid guessing in future. Cheers 📸
Paul, another great episode full of excellent information + your own experience examples. I look forward to each episode, and take notes, because there is always something helpful and insightful. Thank you for the information that helps me improve on my photography skills.
Hi Paul Another great presentation here. I have given your channel a shout-out on my photography channel just 2 days ago. Thank you for your content. Cheers

THANK YOU. There is a fine line between teaching and preaching. You good sir are a true teacher. I have learned so much from your channel. What I and everyone I've directed to your channel appreciate the most is the positive instruction.
I first started watching your tutorials after my wife bought me a Canon T7 because your videos featured that particular model. But after watching I realized how well all of your tutorials are put together. Extremely helpful, well thought out, adding more understanding to make even the novice a better photographer. And it’s not just the tutorials themselves but the manner in which they are given. Clear and concise, yet never talking down to anyone. It’s like as the professional you remember what it was like to be the beginner and can put yourself in the shoes of the student. I’ve watched several tutorials but yours are the best hands down. Without these tutorials I’m not sure I would have had the same level of interest and joy. I watch basic tutorials over again so that I make sure I remember the details while looking forward to the next. Bravo!!!
Once again a great video and one in which I discovered something new on my camera, therefore, Thanks! With regards to the tips at the end of the video and in particular the panning suggestion, would you recommend switching your focus mode from single to continuous, I'm presuming you would?
My shutter speed meter looks like yours but it doesn't show any balance or unbalance as I change the speed. I have a Conon T5i. Is there a way to turn this function on?
Thankyou for another great video Paul, at the start of the video in a couple of your example photos a couple of the skyline buildings showed a pronounced lean. Could you possibly do a segment explaining the cause of the "leaning" & how to minimise it with lens options etc. Love watching your tips Paul, as the previous poster mentioned it helps as a refresher course as well as helping new photographers. Keep up the good work mate.
Hi Deb, When using Av (Aperture priority) mode, you will be able to change the aperture and the camera will look after the shutter automatically for you. So for example if you choose a wide aperture (low f number) then the camera will choose a faster shutter speed than it would do if you chose a smaller aperture (bigger f number) because a wider lens would let more light in the camera. Of course if changing the shutter speed is important to you then try shutter priority (Tv) mode. I hope that helps. Paul
I don't understand what it means when a lens is labeled by an f-stop, say f4 for example, and is described as a "fast lens". Your videos are quite good, thank you.
Thanks so much for breaking it down into easy-to-understand bites. I especially like your practical demonstrations and the shutter speed grouping. This is so helpful!
Got to say that your tutorials are awesome. You explain everything in an easy to learn way and helped me improve dramatically. Thank you Paul for all the help you have provided and looking forward to many more videos.
I find your videos very helpful and genuinely interesting, however, I try not to let it grind on me that you pronounce key words incorrectly. You know whats coming don't you? I am pretty sure that there is no "d" in the word Photo. You may have picked up some bad habits from living amongst Australians, but as far as I am aware, they speak the Queens English too. Do they say "phodo"? Keep up the good work and pay as much attention to my petty gripe as you wish!
So you want the meter at zero before you take your shot? I didn't know what that meter was for. I'm new and learning how to use my camera. Canon EOS REBEL T7 beginner 😮😮😮😮
Excellent videos! your explanations are so clear and very helpful your examples are great. Absolutely the best I've found on RUclips or anywhere else. thanks so much
Paul, I'm trying to understand something about shutter speed and the use of flash. I understand that one should not exceed the flash sync limits of a particular camera, so that one doesn't get the black band across the image. And, if I'm right, flash is usually so bright as to make ambient light irrelevant, so the only reason to select a particular shutter speed (slower than the flash sync speed), is because it plays a part in the exposure triangle, to give "correct" exposure for a given chosen aperture and ISO - is that correct?? Please advise, thank you!
Thanx for all the awesome info! I have been able to a Take some incredible shots of the am/pm skies, the moon, and live action events after watching your videos. You are very competent and smooth with how you you explain the many concepts. Can’t thank you enough!
Great video Paul, very informative. Can i take it that when you use the panning technique for the bike shots, you are using AI Servo, and keeping the shutter button half depressed `til you actually take the shot? Many thanks.
I've learn a lot with your videos. At work im a newbie photographer i've watch your video tutorials and try some of your tutorials now my co-workers loves to photoshoot with me because they are liking my shots 😁😁😁 also i can now know how to shoot at day or night. Goodbye Auto Mode! Hehehehe
I’m new to photography just came across ur channel very educational indeed. I’ve subscribed to your channel. Aiming to-get a decent camera very soon to heighten up interest in military planes.
Can you help me with telling How to change the shutter speed to a very fast shutter speed (thousands) that Can catch water drops on wawes at sea on an iPhone 14 Pro max ? Thank you🙏
I just love the way you go about explaining photo. You make it sooo understandable. No mumbo jumbo, just plain fact. Congrats on your teaching method. Cheers from Oslo, Norway 🤗📷

Can I relate to you? By the way who thinks this guy is truly a genius :)
Same for me! Every time I watch one of his videos I get better understanding of my camera and my photography’s get better!
Thank you all for your kind words. I have no formal training in teaching, I simply love photography and get a huge kick out of helping others to do the same. Thanking you for your support which is very much appreciated.
Paul.
You are absolutely right! All other such tutors are so idiot that they take it for granted that the newbie knows the buttons.
So true , I have seen many teaching videos but this channel is making such great effort for beginners !!
Great information with understandable terminology. Thank you.
I know there are a lot of videos out there, but in my opinion, the format that you use for teaching works best for me. I have my camera out and binge watching your videos. I'll probably re-watch these videos several times. Thank you for uploading videos to teach us. You are truly a Photo Genius!!

Thank you for such a clear and detailed video! Keep up the great work 📷
You are welcome, thank you.
Great tips! All this time, I never considered that 'shutter speed' should properly be called 'shutter duration'. Good call.
love your videos thank you
Thank you so much.

what does exposure 24 , dissolve shot 916 mean ?
You can teach Rocket science and I still would understand.
please help w/ SS when using AV mode.

Hi Paul, the shutter speeds on my 5D Mkiii showing as 0"5 etc. I assume to mean .5 of a second . .... True?
That is correct, half a second.
I don't understand what it means when a lens is labeled by an f-stop, say f4 for example, and is described as a "fast lens". Your videos are quite good, thank you.
Great video. Loved the breakdown of ranges and supporting photos. Thank you!
Thanks Paul, excellent presentation and clarity on this sometimes, confusing topic!
Thanks so much for breaking it down into easy-to-understand bites. I especially like your practical demonstrations and the shutter speed grouping. This is so helpful!
