I just bought the Canon T7, and 2 days later I found your site on youtube and I subscribed. You are fantastic, and since I am brand new to photography you are teaching me a lot. THanks. I would like to win that tri-pod you talked about, but I just watched your video and its already July 1st. I wish I could win that, it would help so much. Thanks again. I also just signed up on Instagram for my first time also, and you were one of my first 5 follows that I created. Im 55, in not great health so my new healthy idea is learning photography for enjoyment purposes and it gets me out of the house once I learn how to use it correctly. Thanks once again.
Paul, you are one of my favorite photography teachers. I really like how you describe different features of DSLR cameras and how to use these features in a 'non-complex' way for the novice photographer. Thx much! 👍👍
I’ve binged so many videos from ages ago till now. I love how this channel is very to the point and thoroughly explained and you’re all about the cameras and techniques. A lot of photography channels have a vlog feel where this feels very professional. I don’t always comment but thanks man! (Plus you never click bait. Thanks for that too lol)
Thank you so much for taking the time to post your feedback, it is always very much appreciated and I am glad to read that you are enjoying the content. In order to grow the channel as well as my standard content I will be featuring videos that get me out of the studio and on location - so more practical based and vlog in style but with plenty of tips thrown in - I hope you like them 🙂 Thanks once again your support. Paul @ Photo Genius.
Photo Genius Photo Genius I’m actually really looking forward to that! Thanks for the sneak peek so to speak. I have confidence that you’ll do great even if you throw a bit more of that style into the channel just based on how much I enjoy your channel in general! I’m rooting for you!
I just stumbled upon you videos a few days ago. I usually watch about a 100 or more RUclips videos a week but I have to say that you are one of the more informative and easy to listen to instructors that I have come across. I feel invigorated rather than exhausted after watching your videos.
Back in the 80’s (yes I’m old 😁) I bought a Slik 95D tripod. Still using it now. Cheap and cheerful but has proven its worth. They don’t have to be expensive to be effective
Always taken by how detailed and easy to understand you make your instructions. Doesn’t mean I remember everything, but because your steps are very simple and easy to follow I often will go back over and over things. 🙂
I truly appreciate this particular tutorial! After I purchased my new Canon EOS M50, I found myself looking at the live view LCD versus the viewfinder. As a result, my pictures were sometimes blurry and videos were quite shaky. While I love the live view LCD screen, I have sought to make a concentrated effort to use the viewfinder. This have made all the difference. Now I use the live view LCD screen more when I’m using a tripod and the viewfinder for handheld shooting. 😊
Hey Paul another great easy to understand video from you .I have just come back from a weekend at a race track in UK I used a lot of your tips and got some much improved shots and a greater keep rate .Thank you and I hope you do a sportsvideo (racing cars )
Hi Richard, great to hear the videos are helping you get better shots. I would like to so a video in the future featuring motorsports so please keep checking the channel for updates. Pau.
I bought my EOS last year but never really got the chance to use it. I have learned more about my camera this week watching your tutorials than from any book. We are on lock down but I have started taking my camera with me on my daily walk. Cheers Paul.
Thanks again, Paul... Another great video... You explain everything in such a way even us rookie photographers can understand... I have already put a few of the lessons learned from you in my daily shooting routine, and they are working WONDERFULLY!!!! Am also recommending PHOTO GENIUS to my friends that are getting started in photography... Thanks again....
Thank you so much Wayne, it's feedback like yours that makes this so worthwhile - thanks also for telling others and supporting. Best wishes to you. Paul.
Another great one. I went from having absolutely not a clue on cameras to being able to make my way around without frustration, and getting some nice shots. I highly recomend this channel to people who want to learn and succeed at photgraphy..I am far away from picture perfect get it..lol..but Pauls videos help out so much to get to that goal, and he even answers questions that I have asked and thats an added bonus..Thanks again Paul!! GET IN THE WOODS
Reading comments like yours make it all so worthwhile, so a big thank you for taking theme to watch my videos and commenting. The more support this channel gets the more time I can invest in producing content, so your support is very much appreciated. Best wishes Paul @ Photo Genius.
I am now binge watching all your vlogs. Some fantastic tips, so easy to follow too. I have just bought my first canon camera. By having the same camera as you it’s so easy to learn some amazing tips thank you.
Brilliant - A very professional job of explaining somewhat complicated aspects of photography in a very simple and straight-forward manner. Looking forward to viewing other 'Photo Genius' videos. Thank you very much and 'Good on yer, Mate'.
Thank you so much, Paul. I appreciate your use of plain language in this video. Tbis was very helpful and above all, encouraging. Take care and thank you again!
Thanks for the extra tips Paul! A lot of useful information as normal in your videos. I got my first camera just under a week ago so it's all a bit overwhelming at the moment so these Tips/Tutorial videos help out a lot!
Hello Paul, I am happy to have found you ! As a beginner I cannot get enough advice. I was wondering, if you hold the lens with your left hand, don't you disturb the autofocus ?
Hi Paul, love your RUclips videos. The info is great for a new ‘old bloke’ like me relatively new to photography. Have tried to enter your competition on your website, couldn’t find the comp re tripod. I am in the UK so guess it’s not open the ‘Pom’s’. 😂😂 Won’t hold it against you, keep the vids coming. Cheers, Phil.
Hi Paul...i watch your videos on a regular basis and i really love your teaching style..i have a question to you..what maximum iso should i keep in a crop sensor camera like canon 800d to avoid digital noise or grainy pic ? Is iso till 6400 is ok ? Please help me out
Hi Paul, let me just start off with how much you have helped me understand about taking good pictures! I have been watching many of your guides, they are really simple to follow and on point which I really like! so keep up the good work! My question to you is, I am trying to take pictures of homes as a real estate project. Can you make a guide on how to take good pictures indoor of houses and rooms etc. ?
Yep, that can work - but if you are close to the subject you may find that focusing on a subject then re-composing throws the subject slightly out of focus.
Hi Paul, I love your videos, you explain everything VERY clearly. I'm a beginner shooting with a Canon Rebel T6. I've been applying your lessons to shoot in Manual Mode, but when I'm shooting birds I am usually in the woods and struggle to quickly find the right settings when the birds are moving from light to shade. What do you suggest? I Also can you recommend a backpack(s) for 1 camera with space for a 100-400mm zoom, tripod, and water bottle? Many thanks!
4:35 I'm gonna try and put that to practice next time I'm out taking pictures! Can't wait to see the results 😁 I took some photos earlier this week of butterflies (We have an 'invasion' from Africa atm xD) and some turned out great - However I'm sure this new trick will help ensure more focus out of the box. Very good video overall with many useful hints and instructions. I might have to finally dive into which photo editor I'll be using since I've decided never to revisit Adobe 😒 Aurora HDR looks very promising 🤗
@@photogenius Butterflies are certainly tricky - And once I finally found one that busy eating nectar a bee came shortly after and scared the bugger away 😂 - Went to the cemetery, as I always do haha and spotted one butterfly I had the pleasure to shoot for 5 minutes! About 2-3 minutes in, after I had inched so far in I was practically on top of it, I captured a sequence of it walking while having it's wings closed, out to the sun to bathe 😊 Still haven't gotten around to making a .gif/whatever out of it yet though but it'll come!
I’m ambidextrous and sometimes I find using my Camera awkward, it would be handy if Camera brands made their product for right and left handed people, for example have the hand grip on the left and the settings wheel and screen also on the top left side, it would be more natural, I find it a bit of a faff sometimes and it’s the difference between getting the shot or not.
When you're looking through the hole how can you tell the manual focus is in focus? With view finder I can zoom far in and ensure sharpness before snapping. Whenever I take a photo looking through, it's always blurry.
Another excellent video. As an amateur and newbie, these videos are so helpful (so clear) in what can be a little overwhelming at times. If I may ask your opinion on something. I use Nikon and specifially for my main interest sports photography, the 70-300 VR. What are your views/advice on VR while using a monopode? On or Off. Is it as significant as with a tripod? Thank you.
When I'm using a monopod I turn the VR on. If your lens has it also select active VR - this mode is designed for use when tracking subjects so great for sports. Thanks for watching and supporting my channel. Paul @ Photo Genius
Thank you for your response, it is most helpful. Thank you again for these wonderful videos. They have been so helpful to me as a new recruit to photography. I had one of my first experiences taking sports shots recently and while some images had some issues such as focus off subject, blur etc, I was pleasently surprised at how most turned out, despite challenging circumstances - light, space etc. Thanks in no small part to what I have learned from your videos, I recognise what went wrong with those images that did not work. I am very familiar with the sport I was shooting, so that definitley helped a great deal also. Please keep these videos coming, they are very much appreciated. Best.
Thanks Paul, for such videos in a very simple and straightforward manner...I'm learning a lot, kudos to your videos...Hoping you get more subscribers...keep the good work going...😊
Hello Paul, thank you for all you help over the past weeks. Your videos make me excited about learning, and quite decent at taking my hobby to the next level. My question is about the aperture tip, does it apply to prime lenses as well as telephotos? Or just prime? Are you saying that a prime lens with a smaller aperture would make a sharper photo over a telephoto lens with a smaller? Or does the apply to either lens?
Hi Paul,thank you for your wonderfull videos.I want to ask you what we do if both camera and lens have VR and we shoot handheld.Shall we turn on both? If not which one to turn on?Thank you.
What if I don’t have live view on my canon camera and can not digital zoom before taking the shot; how do I nail focus every time while using manual focus? Thank you!
Oh I get it..So I've been watching you're moon shot video....you said to put your settings at 250. I have a canon camera so I need to put it at 300 length, x 1.6 for = 360 right?
Hello Photo Genious, I was wondering do you have a tutorial on how to produce a sharp print which is ordered from a professional printing company. Because when I send a sharp digital image to the printers my prints are coming back a little soft. Should I use a sharpening mask in Lightroom classic?
Hi Allen. Sorry this is not a subject that I've covered. Most pro labs should be able to provide information so the you can get the best image possible, for example I use Streets Imaging in Brisbane and this link gives you an idea of some of the things you may want to consider such as colour management and file types. www.streetsimaging.com.au/colour-management
I am watching your videos since 10 days,your way of presentation is very easy.So I want to know about back button focus in detail.I am having canon T3i model.pl.explain.thnx
Great video, Paul. I've read somewhere that IS should be turned off when shooting, say, sports at fast shutter speeds. Any truth in this? I've never bothered to do so and never had a problem.
If your shutter is particularly fast then the IS shouldn't really be required, but I don't think having it turned on will be an issue. Thanks for watching Peter.
one funny question --- if my camera is limited by f stop 8.0 and still I want to take sharp landscape photo wit my manual mode Can I place something like a pin hole disc in front of the lens and increase exposure by putting the camera on tri pod off course ?
Hi! I just recently got my camera. My daughter was messing around with it. Anytime I take a picture with anything faster than 1” the photo is completely black, any tips?
Thanks for watching this video and supporting the Photo Genius channel.

Thank you sir
You forgot the most important tip, auto focus fine tune each lens. On my D810, my 5 lenses all have different settings, none are at the default 0.
one funny question --- if my camera is limited by f stop 8.0 and still I want to take sharp landscape photo wit my manual mode Can I place something like a pin hole disc in front of the lens and increase exposure by putting the camera on tri pod off course ?
What camera are you using? If it's a bridge camera then the aperture at f8 and shooting with a wide focal length you should get a nice sharp image.
Thanks for the tips

Hi! I just recently got my camera. My daughter was messing around with it. Anytime I take a picture with anything faster than 1” the photo is completely black, any tips?
Hey Paul, What are the correct F stop and shutter speed for sharp picture for Nikon D500 and Nikkor 200-500 combo.?
