    Thanks so much for the presentation! Not only the content is great, very easy to understand, but can't get enough of Jeff Cable's workshops! Very dynamic and entertaining! Tips very appropriate for someone with a little more understanding of basic shooting. Absolutely great!

    Notes on the Video (most important points were on the slides/images)
    A good photographer should be able to walk into any environment and know how to take a good picture.
    3:02 image- Shooting Modes
    8:48 image- Desired Aperature
    16:16 image- Desired ISO
    22:40 image- Shooting Modes (Burst Mode)
    25:02 image- Focus Modes
    30:40, 33:10, and 35:18 images- Back Focus/Back Button Focus
    36:12 image- Changing Focal Points
    41:12 image- Exposure Compensation - controls how bright the lights can be; If the light is too bright, the subject can sometimes become invisible.
    44:42 image- Custom White Balance
    49:49 image- Metering Modes
    53:30 and 54:16 image- Live View/Fine Focus
    57:08 image- Flash Control
    1:03:38 image- Image Stabilization - don’t use when the image is already stable, like when the camera is on a tripod.
    1:04:44 image- The Beep - when it is quiet and one is avoiding disturbance, do not use; but when reassurance is needed for whether or not the camera took the intended photo, use it.
    1:05:22 image- Customizing Your Favorite Menu - you can change the settings to your desired preference.

    Jeff this presentation was INCREDIBLE!! I have been doing photography for about 7 years and the information you provided really helped to bring things together for me. I have never found a use for my view finder and now I am hooked!! Thank you for taking the time to do this for B&H. This is one of the first photography videos I actually watched until the very end. You presented the information so that it was interesting and above all useful. On to The Top 15 Features of Photoshop Every Photographer Should Know.

    I have watched this video 3 times. I wanted to soak in all the information. I already put in practice a couple and it worked. I have a Nikon so I had to "read the manual". Great source of information. I am thinking of my next camera and would definitely think B&H.

  • @BandH
    @BandH  11 лет назад

    Yes you can. The Canon EOS 1000D camera is compatible with any Canon EOS series lens or those made for the EOS system by other manufacturers. For best results when using a telephoto lens without built in stabilization, set the ISO to higher settings (800 and above) and shoot with faster shutterspeeds (1/250 of a second and above), and incorporate a tripod. - Yossi

    @EntityJewelry 11 лет назад +1

    About half way to the video (0:39:03), Jeff talked about focal point. If you're one that use center (1) focal point, there is a quicker way to focus the subject without having to change the focal point. In the case of the gecko or the walking girl in the temple, direct the focal point to the gecko's or girl's face, press the shutter button half-way to focus and keep it pressed half-way. It keeps the focus locked in. Then, readjust the picture frame as you pleased while your finger is still pressing half-way, and press the shutter speed all the way down to snap the photo. It's basic technique that works on most cameras if not all including point 'n shoot models. Try it and you will see that it's much quicker than resetting the focal point on the camera.

    • @may1mike
      @may1mike 11 лет назад

      I have always used your method. Jeff's method is a very useful alternative in the situations he described.

    • @treslabian8932
      @treslabian8932 11 лет назад

      that method doesn't work for motifs that move towards/away from you! because they move while you focus and redirect your camera.

  • @fceschmidt
    @fceschmidt 10 лет назад

    Concerning that moon photo at around 7:00 - you don't have to go into manual mode. If the camera makes the image too bright, I prefer to just drop the exposure compensation of the camera down a couple of stops and stay in aperture-priority mode instead of memorizing the shutter speed to experiment with it in manual mode.

    Before I discovered manual mode; when I took took a shot of the moon, I would use 'P' mode, and maybe two stops of exposure compensation. (And bags of zoom!)
    Manual mode, I find, is a more (creatively) reliable way of getting a good result. And the little meter in the display, tells you whether or not you have the right exposure!
    Happy shooting x

  • @KrystinaLiberty
    @KrystinaLiberty 11 лет назад

    Really enjoyed this one. Only about half of these things tend to be in my regular go-to repertoire and I really need to add a few more of them. Favorite new thing I learned about was the idea of the alternative focusing, I think he called it back-focus. I've got to see if my Nikon offers any similar capability. Seems a lot like manual focus, but easier. Anyway, thanks for making this available!

  • @guitarplayer5932
    @guitarplayer5932 11 лет назад

    David - I rarely use ISO 50 because, from everything I have read and been told by Canon, ISO 100 is cleaner. The only time that I switch to ISO 50 is when I need to slow my shutter speed as slow as possible for a really long exposure. There is a reason that Canon made it an option and not the default. :)

    I'm thinking you'd like to put the setting on each photo you show, the runners, the duck, etc. We are hearing you, but not getting the correct settings. Shutter, ISO, Aperture. Thanks

    I shoot a lot of live bands, and have found using Shutter Priority (TV) gives me the best results. I push my shutter speed to as fast as I can get it and still get enough light for a good exposure. I think it's kind of a roundabout way of choosing shutter speed by using Aperture Priority, especially when you're deciding on how much blur you want in an action shot. Sure, I could do it on "M", but why not let the camera do some of the work if it does a good job?
