In a short time this channel has become one of my favorites. No frills, just pure high quality tips. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! I would also appreciate a tutorial about taking photos in rainy weather conditions.
Great idea!
Totally agree with you!
Totally agree, i have a R6 and these videos are so helpfull and i can't thank you enough.
I agree as well!
Same.. explained very very well!
Your videos are always to the point, no waffling on, just straight onto the subject, Top man.
Thanks very much!
The fact that you display an image as an example shot for every wrong or right shot - it takes a lot of time and effort - makes all the difference in a video like this. Thank you.
My father just bought me a camera for my early birthday present, a Canon 600d. he was a little sad because he could only buy me an old model camera. but for me this is a dream come true! I've wanted a camera for a long time.
I rarely comment on RUclips, but I'm very happy and want to share my joy here.
I hope your channel can help me improving my photography skill!
Awesome!
Atmospheric haze, heat shimmer or diffraction from the mixing of warm and cold air is a huge issue but no one ever talks about it. This is especially true as you move up the telephoto range and get into shooting at 600mm & 800mm. It's also one of those things that can happen 12 months a year. Thx for adding that!
Welcome!
@@simon_dentremont In addition, I've read that lens hoods can cause the problem, and/or shooting from a window, with the air temperature delta between indoor and outdoor
Wow. This page has single handedly taught me more with straight to the point easy-to-follow videos than pretty much anywhere else. Simon you're doing some incredible work here! We appreciate the no fluff approach and the invaluable content. Thank you!
A lot of good info. Excellent refresher course! Thanks!
“Try learning how a histogram works!” Unintentionally hilarious lol
Personal take on cropping: I have ben struggling for years with not leaving enough breathing room to my subjects and "framing it right" in the viewfinder, just to avoid this quality loss.
Very often, this has come back to bite me as a slightly wider angle would have allowed me to be more creatinve in post.
And finally, I spent years taking photos without printing much, and when I started facing the tirany of imposed print formats: not everything is 3/2, actually nothing is apart from 4x6", so shooting a bit wider is very important if you want to fit standard picture fames for example, so you can crop and reframe for that particular format.
Thank you Simon
Exposure is underrated. About 20 years ago I was spending a lot of time taking pictures with my new dslr and also spending way too much time on photography forums. I was often frustrated because the images many other forum members would post looked better than mine and I couldn’t figure out why. Over time, I landed on two reasons- one being shear talent, particularly talent in seeing and composing good photographs. The other thing I hit on was nailing exposure. You can get everything else right- find a good subject, compose it well, use the right shutter speed and hold the camera still- but if you don’t really nail the exposure, the result will not look “professional.” Once I figured that out, was I able to do anything about it? Well… kind of. I learned that many people, including me, tended to slightly overexpose most of their shots. I also saw that cameras tended to slightly overexpose by default. And I saw that if I took pictures during the “golden hours” of the day, they tended to look really good. So, it has helped a bit. But in the end I simply don’t have as much talent as I wish I did. 😢 Still, photography is the hobby I have stuck with more than any other hobby in my 66 years.
Thanks for sharing your priceless experience to make photography more interesting...
Simon, another great tutorial. You have such a wealth of knowledge, and I appreciate that you shared it! You're a great mentor.
Thanks very much!
I'm really enjoying following your journey as a content creator. The small things you've been changing over time -- such as setting up the new studio with the green background, the opening vignette, or the tasteful text overlays -- really work and show care. It's cool to see how fast your channel has been growing. I first saw one of your videos less than a year ago, when you had less than 10k subscribers. You're just about to hit 40k, which is phenomenal.
On a final note, we got your calendar, which is going on the wall starting January. Congrats on this impressive new career.
Thanks so much! I’m learning but still have lots to learn!
For a long time now, getting photos to look sharp has been my biggest challenge. But after spending a few weeks watching your channel and doing some more research, I had a breakthrough moment. Shutter speed is my new best friend! Over the past two days, I've been testing out various shutter speeds with two different cameras and different lenses. I went to a lake by my house that has all sorts of ducks, cranes, geese, and swans, and the results blew my mind. Simon, you have no idea how much of a breakthrough this was for me. My friends are shocked with these images with some saying they are worthy of being on National Geographic. Your videos have been incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom with all of us. You really need to make more video's!!!!!! :)
Some of the best tips I have seen on you tube .
I love the simplicity here. Also, I love how you just get the importance of great light. Like I've had days where the afternoon sun was just giving incredible light and knowing I needed to do a neighborhood photo walk because I couldn't waste that light.
As ever, firing on all cylinders for content, presentation and illustration. A comprehensive survey of its subject, with top-notch advice and useful reminders for both the novice and the more experienced.
Your channel is truly the best!
Excellent tips, as always! ;) Thank you Simon!
Glad you like them!
Your videos are always excellent! The video production is always top-notch! Lots of examples, titles and animations are always on point! And the subjects discussed in the videos are always very useful. Easy to digest for beginners, such as myself, but never feels "dumbed-down", or over-simplified. Cheers!
Hands down Simon you are the best teacher for photography. The tips you provide are priceless and I learn so much with in a short amount of time. Thank you
This video is great, summarizes all the main points. I'm working my way through all your videos and really learning a lot!. You are doing a massive service to photographers , thanks from all of us.
My new favorite photography channel. Didn't know how much I didn't know! Great videos, Simon. Much appreciated
Great video, so much information in a short video. Appreciated 😊
Lately this is the only photography channel I’ve been watching. I’ve just been trying to soak up as much of this golden knowledge and insight as I can. Thank you sir for your time and effort spent making quality content 🙏🏼 it is invaluable to me.
All really good tips. These skills only come with experience and constantly watching videos like this one. I tend to avoid videos that are over 20 or 30 minutes. Liked and subscribed.
This is my go to channel for quality photography tips, fantastic content. Thank you very much.
Wow, thanks!
Great advice Simon! Thank you for all your efforts this year. Wishing you a very happy new year!
Thank you too!
I watched a couple of yor videos and they stand out in the most positive manner, thank you so much for the crisp and clear explanations :)
Thank you for the interesting presentation of the experience! there is a lot to learn.
Thank you. Excellent as always. Truly.
Thank you for sharing your proffessional knowledge so short and consisely!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Right to the point and details. I love it
Thank you! Good tips! Keep on the good work!
Another really informative presentation. I started watching your videos a few weeks ago and I concur with some of the other comments I have read and that is your cannel is one of the most precise and entertaining on RUclips. Keep them coming I really enjoy them.
Thanks so much!
Great information Simon, thank you.
I have been searching for the best camera tips and settings on youtube. I think you're the best and clearer tips here on youtube. Thanks for these tutorials.
Invariably I see that you have a new video and I think "I already know about that". I end up watching anyway and I never regret it. I ALWAYS pick up some new helpful hints even when it's something I've heard numerous times before. Thank you for all your hard work.
Nice video Simon, who explains in an easy way for all photographers, from beginners to those who are one step ahead, how to avoid or recover their shots. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks very much!
Very informative as usual ! I've been photographing digitally for 15 years but still learned a few things ! Thanks !
Another great instructional video!
Another video full of excellent teaching and tips.Thanks Simon.
Thanks again!
Great channel Simon. So many great tips every week. I've learned a ton by watching your terrific videos.
Great to hear!
Thanks Simon. Excellent summary of variables effecting image quality.
Many thanks!
I already knew all of those tips and I still listened to the whole video..
You explain everything very well.. I wish you had this channel when I started years ago. This is easily one of the best photography channels I've come across.. thanks a bunch!
Btw, I'm an East coaster too.. Newfoundland!
Thanks neighbor!
wow... using a 2 second timer when using slower shutter speeds just blew my mind...makes so much sense and I can't believe I never thought of that before
Look forward to each of your sessions. Learning alot. Thanks so much
Glad you like them!
Thank You Sir, Your Vidoes are the most detaileds I have watched, and have really imparted a lot of information, and knowlege to me.
Glad to help
As always, great and common sense advice and instruction. Thank you. And Happy New Year to Simon and all of our friends in the Great Northern expanse from here in South Florida.
Happy new year!
Great tips Simon and all the best for the new year, bonne annee!
A toi parreillement!
great video again! I definitly struggle with post processing photos after cropping.
amazing how the Pro's do so well with that process.
thanx for your informative videos.
Welcome!
Simon, the best thing I can say about Gavin's channel is that it introduced me to your channel! Really wonderful use of time. Solid unbiased information that will actually help me produce better images! THANK-YOU
Thank you very much!
Im improving my photography nearly two fold everyday because of these videos and your thorough explanations. Thank you so much!
You are so welcome!
Incredible video, this kind of information is valuable, thanks.
Glad it was helpful!
Great info delivered at a high pace, your videos are really helpfull, Simon
Glad it was helpful!
Muchas gracias por compartir estos tips, son importantes puntos para mejorar mis fotos de aves. Mucha buena información, seguro veré los otros que indica. Saludos, un gran abrazo.
I am really enjoying your videos. Simple, easy to understand tips and amazing photos. Thanks.
Glad you like them!
Great tutorial Simon... covering all the basis so succinctly
Glad it was helpful!
I've been told I take excellent photos, and I love hunting great shots. But.....I've never had a good, modern camera until recently...I've only had cell phones, cheap ones at that...
Now that I have a real camera, I'm trying to learn how to use the complicated machine. It seems an ominous task! Thanks for your work here! I just discovered you, and you're helping already!
Straight to the points, highly informative, you've got another subscriber :) Thank you very much for sharing your years of experience! Very kind of you. Cheers!
Welcome!
Great tips. Thank you
Thanks for sharing soo much quality information with us. + subscriber :)
I've been following so many wildlife photographers and then YT suggested one of your videos to me TODAY! I've subscribed and watched 4 already. As a dedicated Canon user myself with an R5, I'm grateful I found you! I'd love to learn how to use videos for wildlife as well. There aren't good videos about how to do that out there. THANK YOU!
Thanks! A video about video is on my list!
Helpful tips and beautiful pictures thanks a lot.
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for yet another video with a wealth of information. Judy
You are so welcome Judy!
Great tips thank you
Short video with abundant information, nice 👍
Glad you liked it
Another great video and your channel is now my favourite! I love your "boot tip" but it would also be great to have a tip on how to get low with a bad knee! Sometimes I will go out with a garden kneeling pad (light, dense foam) and just sit on the ground. This does attract some attention, though! Ha!
Excellent presentation. Very well organized and presented. Clear and concise. Visual and verbal aspects were exceedingly well done. .
So kind of you to say so!
Simon great stuff ! My game went up in a couple of videos, thank you again.
Excellent
The last tip really hit home! In my case I had forgotten about a lake water being warmer than the air. The other day I was trying to photograph tern flying just above the waters surface. Upon inspection of the shots on the back of the camera I discovered the images were mush. I knew right away the lake water was having a ill effect! Good stuff Simon!
Thanks very much!
Thank you so much!
Thanks so much for sharing another wonderful video like always. Happy New Year ✨🎅🎄👍
Thank you! You too!
Thanks for sharing all this information. This is my "go to" channel for photography.
Great to hear!
Simon, Thank you for another wonderful, concise, information-packed video. You fooled me with the last bonus tip. I though for sure that it was going to be something about being sure to hold your camera very still when shooting.
That too!
Thank you for all your videos 🙏🏻
Glad you like them!
I have to hit subscribe. I used to use an astronomical telescope to study the moon and planets, and I quickly learned to not look over warm houses in the winter, to let my telescope reach the temperature of the outside air (not so important with a smaller camera lens, I suspect), etc. but I never considered the same for a camera. I also found out that with my new camera I was ruining some of the pictures simply by being rough pressing the shutter release, not paying attention to the lighting. I think your videos will help me improve.
Cool! FYI, I have a telescope too.
Excellent rappels. Bonnes fêtes 🍾
À toi pareillement!!
Thank you for your time to make these for us. I wonder if you be interested in making a detail video on the 7dM2 how you set that up for some of the epic shots you capture.. Saturday m niece held a found raiser and it was quite the challenge to shot in low light environment. I had my 7d with a 50mm with is more like a 80mm.. I watched you low light video one day to late! Lol although the pictures came out clear they were heavy grain so editing was a bit of a challenge and Lightroom but not bad but it would be really nice for my professional who uses the 70 to do a tutorial in 2023 tutorials from the other channels and they are amazing but I’d like to see your input on it because they never really emphasize on the cases lenses adventures ISO‘s for different environments and different themes I would be extremely grateful and thank you
Well thought out and comprehensive video! I subscribed to your channel, and I also sent a link to my brother. I am now in the middle of a 1.5 day snow storm, so I have something worth binge watching. Thanks!
Welcome aboard!
Great video! My suggestion for shooting in harsh lighting such as bright sunlight, is to use Neutral Density filters.
also use the focus limiter on your lens!
Great information Simon, I found your channel by accident. I have subscribed! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Thanks!
You are a knowledgeable and good teacher. You are unselfish. Your images are superb. Unlike some others, you aren't stuck on sharpness. You provide a great deal of info. Bravo. I subscribed. :) Happy New Year.
Wow, thank you!
No bullshit pure knowledge 👌
Fill -flash can be effective even in bright light.
These are some very real life and factual tips, I learnt a lot from this video alone, thank you so much.
You're so welcome!
Thank you for sharing . Greetings from Indonesia 🇮🇩
Thanks for visiting
Amazing content.
Great teacher!
Glad you think so!
super video! you have a great teaching style. ❤
Thank you so much!
Informative as usual Simon--especially the bonus tip at the end--never occurred to me that shimmering air is an issue. My favourite picture was at 3:33--it looked like the duck was swimming in gold. Thanks!
Thanks very much!
Another super duper educational experience
Thanks Brian!
I really enjoy or videos, There are very Informative.
Awesome, thank you!
This channel is amazing!
Thanks! 😃
Hi Simon ! I really enjoy your channel and especially learn a lot from your valuable tips. Do you think you could make a video on the different stabilization modes of the 500mm F4 lens and when to use them correctly. Again, thank you for your very appreciated work.
Great suggestion!
Don't just watch but do!!! I try to practice Simon's tips immediately after watching them. In the last year this has raised my quality 100%. Of course, I take all the credit though LOL. I use a sigma 150-600 and was thinking about a 1.4x to "get closer" but not sure if the lens can handle it. i may need to stick to cropping.
Thanks!
I put the Cinestyle profile on my Canon R7 since my video editor unfortunately doesant recognize Canon C log 3. But I thought I'd experiment taking some stills in Jpeg under the Cinestyle profile. While still not as flexible as a RAW image. It was more flexible to work with than a regular Jpeg set to Landscape or one of Canon's other pre-made settings.
So great video!
Thanks for the visit
