No Raisin I know, bcoz he keep it so simple for people like. But we love his work and all the details without BS. He gives more info in less time deceptively.
I second that, but he will gain for sure, cant thank him enough, discovered his channel week back and learned a lot, first time in my life i took long exposure after watching his other video, I was blown away with the result, i was always afraid and had this thing in mind that my Nikon D5100 is not capable of much, he opened new horizon for me, thanks man, keep it up with the good work.
Yes thats well said...why underrated, best channel out there for me and wife, our photography went from mediocre to great in a couple of weeks watching this
Hello i bought a new camera Nikon D3500 yesterday but i didn't get that sharp and awesome images like you and i cannot set my ISO like 1100 1200 i can only set it 800 1600 3200 what did you do please reply and sorry for bad English.
Thanks for the post/feedback Zayan!:) Not a problem ... I leverage back button focus and lock focus on the eye of any given portrait ( here is a video on back button focus which might be of help - ruclips.net/video/6qUebpQeclY/видео.html ). You can achieve ISO between stops by using the auto ISO mode:). I created a video in which I discuss this process a bit more - ruclips.net/video/XWBO0DgHtU8/видео.html
I haven't done a lot of street photography. I do landscape & wildlife photography most of the time. After seeing this video, I think I'll concentrate on street photography more often. I think I'll try using my D3400, and my Nikon Coolpix P1000. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the post Michael and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) There is something about street photography that intrigues me ... people in their natural state, etc.
At 4:02, you photographed a famous dog named Scooter. He belongs to Adam Sandoval. Adam is a pretty well known moto-blogger on you-tube. They travel the country checking out motorcycle ralleys and events. Just found that interesting. Great videos by the way! Just got a D3400 and love it.
Thanks for the post/info!:) I just left a comment on one of his vids letting him know I snapped an image of Scooter:). The rally was good fun loaded with some awesome bikes.
Thanks for the feedback Craig!:) Time for me to focus a bit on Lightroom as I feel post editing is an important part of the overall process ... stay tuned!:)
Me too! I did the trial version but have not did the full version yet. I guess I need to. Right now I am trying to set up the spare bedroom as a photo studio kind of so my wife and I have a place to process photos. I have a laptop but it is getting a little bit older so probably going to invest in a nice one next year. I have Adobe CS3 and Bridge with camera raw on it and it works OK but after using the trial lightroom I see why everyone says you need it.
Yes thank you. Just took to the Austin zoo today and got some really good shots. Much clearer than my d3200 but also have been applying my new knowledge about f stops and iso. I usually just kept on shutter mode cause I was scared to mess with f stop and iso. I’ve finally am understanding how to use more, and thanks to your videos also. Keep creating!. The world of photography is infinite. I do mostly long exposure stuff, but love animal photography also and street photography.
Thanks for the post/feedback Larry and glad to be of help!:) Sounds like you are on the right path which is good:). Understanding how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO all play together will help better your overall understanding of photography and take you in a new/better direction:). I have traveled to Austin before ... nice area.
Hi from Australia I would like to say Your videos are really awesome. It was from your videos back in 2018 that got me started and from shooting only in Auto to shooting in manual, fireworks, and night time long exposures. I like the fact that you use the basic set up to show we can get great shots. You are easy to understand
0:58 - 1:14 Very inspiring explanation.... other Channels are explaining "BASIC" photography yet they're using High-end equipments/gears. lol.. That's why this channel is one of the best...
I had a 3200 and upgraded to this. Got it for $300 today brand new in box with 55mm and 300mm lenses. I love using shutter mode mostly long exposure/double exposure looking shots are my favorite
Sounds like you got a GREAT deal on it!:) The camera is capable of taking some awesome shots ... a bit of knowledge and experience will go a long way with this camera:).
Hi Realworld, I bought D3400 2 weeks ago and I love it, your videos really help me to make my photography skills better, I have 18-55mm kit lense and I want to know how to set this lens to infinity??? Also I want to buy another lense, is Nikon 35mm 1.8g lense is good option for my camera??? I want to do, landscape, nightscape, stars, trails and portraits.... Thanks in advance 😊😊😊
I believe 50k rupees is around 725 dollars ... hmmm - this will depend on your needs. If you plan to shoot video in addition to photos, I might lean towards the Canon T6i ( ruclips.net/video/sTi9aUTITlo/видео.html ) or T7i. If you plan to mainly focus on photos, I might lean towards the Nikon D5600 ( ruclips.net/video/qDeW1PYCnmA/видео.html ) with the 18-55 lens or the Nikon D3400 with the 18-55 and 70-300 (or you can save by just going with the 18-55 and consider the fixed 50mm f/1.8 lens ( ruclips.net/video/e2TZVu7yZig/видео.html )).
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The D3400 is a solid camera - enjoy, explore, and have fun!:) I like the idea and will add it to my short list. TY
Glad to be of help!:) A great/capable camera in my opinion ... take time to explore the camera and related features. Don't get frustrated and have fun!:)
I like your channel very much. I know this movie is relatively old but I’ll comment it anyway;) I am new in photography’s world and just starting my adventure with DSLR. You explain everything in such great way that I could understand almost everything. That is a big benefit of RealWorld. I just wish that for this particular movie you had also shown what focal length had been used for each shot. Great photos ;)
Thanks for the post/feedback Adam and glad to be of help!:) I added focal length to my shots on newer videos as I thought it might be helpful as well:).
I bought my Nikon D5600 3 months ago as a beginer i try everything especialy street photography but i learn that not all countries u can do that, in some countries you might be sue n jail for taking pictures of them like Japan! Anyway i am pump after watching this video from Realworld, gd job m8 Love all your videos. No cons here, i am a chinese, bought my 1st new entry dslr when i visited Japan 3 months ago!
Glad to see your comments on another video and glad to be of help!:) Street photography can be lots of fun!:) In the United States as long as you are in the public location, you are good. Nonetheless, I do not mind asking someone first as most are fine with having their pictures taken and even flattered to some extent. I encountered various people while conducting my review on the fixed 35mm which will post in the next day or two ... good times:).
I like this chanel because you seem happy and enjoying doing what you do. On the street I use mostly shutter priority 1/320s if possible if not than I go down to 1/125s or 1/60 for motion efects. Auto ISO, serial shutter and continous autofocus are important(depending on situation but for most for me). Turning D-lighting and other post processing features to achive better framerate. I also shoot only JPEG for the same reason. Entry level DSLR are so powerfull now. Way more powerfull than best apsc cameras ten years ago.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I started this channel to simply help my brother and a few friends simply understand their cameras better. I soon realized many others were in the same boat:). While other channels cover the latest and greatest from various manufacturers, I wanted to keep everything simple and let people know they do not need the latest gear to capture awesome photos. I like shutter priority as well depending on the subject and desired results:).
@@RealWorld Thank you for taking time to reply..It is encouraging that I don't necessarily have to spend on expensive lenses to get pics like these if I improve my skills..Do you use a tripod for street photography too or have such steady hands?
"…it’s going to be fun, and that’s what photography is really all about…", now that's a philosophy I can easily live with. I also agree with you about street photography, to me it’s the story of the street at that time and it isn’t about shooting all the down and outs you can find. I use a disability scooter and I don’t want to draw more attention to myself than necessary, so I do more "urban" than "street" and I tend to favour film photography which I’m not sure if it’s still ‘entry level'. Great images, very nice indeed and another brilliant video.
Thanks for the post/feedback Mark and good to see you on the comments!:) I like street photography because they bring about candid shots which are great in my opinion. Having people pose is more common/standard, but capturing people in their natural element is always interesting.
Glad to be of help!:) Ahhhhhh yes, Detroit:). Are you a Lions fan? I was in Chicago last weekend which is another great city for street photos in my opinion but I did not have time to shoot much.
RealWorld not a Lions fan I'm a Cardinals fan lol. Born and raised in AZ. I work for Quicken Loans and our team is doing this big tour of downtown. I just purchased my D3400 not to long ago so your videos have been helpful. I am a super beginner. Let's see how I do on Monday 👍
You are a long way from home!:) Brace yourself for the Detroit winter:). I took many work trips to Phoenix, AZ over a couple of winters ... odd to play golf in Jan/Feb:). Enjoy the camera and snap away. Practice as much as you can before Monday so you are better prepared, etc. Above all - have fun!:)
RealWorld will do. Yeah last year was my first winter ever. Had some sketchy moments but got through it. I will be looking forward to learning Lightroom also.
I had been doing some research on the d3400 and came across your videos and have watched several of your videos over the last month. I finally gave in and ordered the Nikon d3400 with the standard and 70-300mm lenses. I just got it in the mail yesterday, and I am ready to dive in and start learning the camera. Thank you so much for your videos. I'll be rewatching them as I try different styles of photography. I am wanting to get into street photography, try out light trails, do some sport and concert photography, and since I moved to Orlando, FL, a month ago to work at Disney World, I will be taking photos around the park and try and get some great nighttime fireworks shots. Would you also recommend the Nikon d3400 For Dummies book as a reference? I'll definitely be using your tips for the different styles of photography for different camera settings since I am brand new to digital photography and have no grasp on all the different settings. I'll definitely be schooling myself as I go and using your videos. Thanks for everything!
Thanks for the post/feedback Brad and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) You are in a great location for some awesome photos (Orlando/Disney):). I was a technical editor for one of the Dummies books (unrelated to photography). The editor would send chapters over for review, etc. Nonetheless, would I recommend the book? Stick with my videos and you will be fine:). The book would not hurt, but I am not certain how much it will help:). Congrats on the camera and welcome to the channel!:) If I can do, so can you. The key is to take your time (be patient), understand the settings, practice-practice-practice, experiment-experiment-experiment, and above all - have fun!:) You will soon get the hang of it and your creativity will soar. The first step in my opinion is to fully understand the relationship between ISO, shutter speed, and aperture ... this is the pyramid of importance - the foundation to photography:). ruclips.net/video/6I3jtQfd-sU/видео.html
Excellent! I will definitely be getting good use of your videos. I've got a quick question for you. Do you take the battery out when you are done each time? The handbook says to take it out. I just want to make sure this is needed. With the 38-55mm lens, I am also having difficulty closing the lens all the way when I take it off. Is this normal, or should I be able to get the lens all the way compacted back in? Thanks for everything! I've been trying to search for RUclips videos and content online that addressed these issues, but I haven't been successful locating them.
Glad to be of help!:) I do not remove the battery and do not feel it is necessary unless you plan to camera unused for a long time (i.e. 2-3 months). Interesting to hear regarding the lens. To ensure we are on the same page - are you referring to when you rotate the lens counter-clockwise (zooming all the way out)? Rotating all the way counter-clockwise should lock the lens back on the 18-55. If the lens moves relatively smooth throughout the zoom range, you should be fine. If you feel any grinding, etc., that might be a problem.
Super quality video content as usual fun , relaxing, and motivational, i love my d3400 because of this channel , and i'm happy with the choice I've made, thanks again for your time and effort in sharing great moments with us, my respect.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The D3400 is lots of fun and fully capable of capturing many creative photos ... have fun and enjoy the ride!:)
I’m also from Indiana and I love downtown Indianapolis! My first DSLR was a D3400. Your videos are so helpful and you’re very well spoken! Great job :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and nice to see another Hoosier on the boards!:) I have a few other Indy related videos - the Indy 500 (ruclips.net/video/ja6RcDEZL9U/видео.html) and others:).
Really enjoying your videos! I am a new Nikon D3400 owner, trying to learn it all. Definitely want to do M not Auto. i am noticing the colors are not as razor-vivid as the should be, nor is the focus....so I'm guessing I need to figure those out. KEEP DOING VIDEOS! (I am going to give that steel wool photography a try on vacation in the summer with grandkids....they will LOVE it!)
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Sounds like you are on the right path and having fun:). I created following video which might be of help (if you have not seen it) - ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html ... I like auto focus which other modes (mainly shutter, aperture, and sometimes manual modes). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Thank you so much for your series on the Nikon D3400. Just got one a couple weeks ago. My question and I'm sorry if this has been asked for: Should I get a 500-600mm lens for this camera, is it worth it or is like putting a V8 in Yugo? Thanks again!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Great analogy!:) I have always been intrigue by the extreme zooms. The decision to purchase should not be based on the body but the need for the lens and budget:). Fast zoom lenses can cost a BUNCH (think of the photographer on the sideline of any professional football game for example - huge heavy lens with lots of glass). Slow zoom lenses are much more affordable/reasonable for a slower (for clarification - fast means wide open aperture (f/1.8 for example) and slow would be something much higher (f/7+, etc.)). Fast zooms make sense - sport photographer's are shooting action from the sidelines and perhaps not is the best light, etc. When would you use a slow extreme zoom lens? Perhaps if you are shooting the moon (great for moon shots), or wildlife of a bright day with the subject relatively still (think of a bird sitting on a branch, etc.). It is doable to put an extreme zoom on the D3400 without question but consider when/how you will use it. If I stumbled across a great deal, I might consider it but it would have to be GREAT!:)
Really enjoy your videos since I am newbie and just bought a D5300 but the music you use seem also interesting - This one made me laugh, no idea who the artist is but is in big trouble if not paid the royalties. Welcome to Turkish Rock, "Baris Manco - Aynali Kemer"
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Music is tough for various reasons. I typically reach out the the artist and asks for permission before using. Most have been very nice/generous. :)
Thank you so much for another helpful video. I would like to learn portrait photography at night and how to capture cool bokeh and light trails with the model.
What! How i can make my nikon d3400 takes pictures like that those colors wow amazing i cant believe my d3400 can do that please please please tell me what settings did you use on those shots.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I shot in aperture priority using RAW and post processed in Lightroom. I have a few videos on Lightroom and plan to create more:). Lightroom is a key component to the overall process in my opinion as it allows for additional creativity. Here is one of the videos - ruclips.net/video/nkh78JifdVc/видео.html
RealWorld thank you so much for the reply to my comment, i love watching your videos i keep learning a lot, i am a subscriber from lafayette indiana, God bless.
Amazing photography, absolutely amazing. You talked about changing ISO did you do this because of lower light levels so that you could keep your aperture settings constant?
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Yes, ultimately I changed the ISO in order to maintain an acceptable shutter speed (the aperture was wide open as the sun went down).
This can work providing you have some good lights and triggers. I used the same camera to capture some professional head shots and created a how-to video which might be of help - ruclips.net/video/658KIRJvWjM/видео.html
I love downtown Indy!! Been there a few times as I live right over in NKY by Cincinnati. I would like to try this some time but I think I just would be scared that someone would get mad and start a fight over it. This day an age you never know!! Great video though and hey checkout your fireworks video i posted a link to some i took at riverfest in Cincinnati and just wanted to see what you think!! Thanks and keep coming with the videos. They have really taught me a lot since buying the D3400.
Mr. RealWorld this is an amazing video again! Great work! I would like to know if you are planning to make a video about entry DSLR lenses for someone who just started photography, thank you in advance!
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Long exposures can make for some great photos:). Let me know if I can be of help ... practice, practice, practice - you will get there!:)
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Get out there and have some fun!:) I fall into voids as well and need to kick-start my creative juices sometimes:).
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I have a few videos on Lightroom which can be found here: ruclips.net/video/ZRJ8aifcin4/видео.html ruclips.net/video/nkh78JifdVc/видео.html ruclips.net/video/pKnpLb32j1w/видео.html
Thanks for the post/feedback Martin and glad to be of help!:) I just completed a review on the D5600 and included the focal length in all sample shots - thought it was good idea as well!:) The video will be uploaded in the next few hours.
Thank you for the video. Love to try street photography some time if I have a chance here where I live. But I should have a skill of photography a little bit first. I bought my first DSLR d3400 just 3 months in, play around with it a lot, but most of the time I don't know what I'm doing, lol. Honestly, subbed your channel because of this camera. Keep up the good work!
Great video again! and great images. I have the same camera. These might be silly questions, I am new with using DSLRs. Could you please explain what zoom level you shoot at ? Do you Frame the pictures you capture by zooming in at the time of your shot ? Or do you capture it all then crop later ? Does zoom level have any major effect on the picture being taken ?. Thanks again for your videos. I learn a lot and trying to experiment while shooting after watching your videos.
Hi Mark. I've been following your channel for quite sometime and I was wondering if you usually set the maximum ISO and minimum shutter speed while shooting on Aperture priority mode..
Thanks for the post/question and welcome to the channel!:) I typically stay in aperture priority and control the ISO letting the camera manage the shutter speed. I set the aperture and take a look at the shutter speed. If the shutter is too slow, I will then adjust the ISO as needed.
I wasn't trying to say I don't like this video, I finished the whole video and it is great because my school lends students nikon d3400 and a lot of students want to know if it is good or not.
Thanks for the post Jake and welcome to the channel!:) I took a handful of canal photos in 2016 (ruclips.net/video/EgBbzvrMfQw/видео.html) before this channel gained momentum and may revisit the downtown as I review my next camera (waiting for the weather to warm a bit:)). I also created a portrait video using the D3400 and showcased parts of the canal (ruclips.net/video/EgBbzvrMfQw/видео.html) ... lots of good opportunities in downtown Indy!:)
Great video, Mark. You should have a 100,000 subscribers with the high quality videos you make. Very informative and very well made. Thank you, I appreciate it 🖒🖒
Thanks for the post/feedback:). Agreed, candid shots are great in my opinion - capturing someone in their natural state can yield awesome results at times.
Another great video. Although I shoot with Canon equipment exclusively, the techniques you share are generic so that the camera's manufacturer doesn't really matter.
Great video and some great shots there! You said you were setting the ISO at 100 and were in aperture priority. Was the ISO in fact in auto and being manipulated by the aperture that you set? The photot you took display various ISO ratings.
Thanks for the post/feedback and great catch - you are absolutely correct!:) Just before I started the video, there was plenty of sunshine, and I thought maintaining ISO at 100 would not be an issue:). As I made my way into the heart of downtown, I found myself caught in the shadows and soon after the sun started to set:). Auto ISO kicked-in and adjusted as needed given different subjects, available light, etc.
I love your videos...and yes I am inspired. However, am always nervous about taking images of strangers on the street...especially children as they would interest me most. You're very braves to take candid photos of bikers lol!
Hi Pamela and thanks for the post!:) Your confidence will quick build after shooting a few outdoor/street sessions. Admittedly, I asked one of the bikers to take a picture of his dog (dog image in video). The dog seemed soooo out of place and ripe for a photo!:)
Amazing photography, fantastic piece to camera composition, great lighting, great performance, great delivery, you make great videos. Fix the sound, these videos a worth good sound, grab a Sennheiser ME66 with the k7 XLR output (Broadcast equipment, old now and at great prices) second hand, throw it in to Tascam D40, use PluralEyes to sync them up ready to edit. Regardless, you have another subscriber, great stuff.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) You hit the nail on the head regarding audio - uggggg!:) I am a technical person and have improved the audio slightly over the last year or so but still find the process challenging:). I use a Zoom H1 and cheeeeeeap lavaliere mic. I post edit all sound clips using Adobe Audition with a custom setup which seems to work relatively well:). I noticed heavy clipping in the audio for this video during post processing. The environment was loud and I found myself shouting at times:). I should have conducted a quick sound test and lowered the gain. Audio will improve as time moves forward (hopefully):). I will look into the equipment you suggested as well - TY!:)
Great video!!! I am having a problem with the candid shot. It seams that nothing captures the attention of candid subject more then a camera pointed at them in there peripheral vision. Any tips on how to be a little more stealth while taking the shot?
Thanks for the post/feedback and great question!:) I know it feels odd and may seem like your subject will catch you, but I find most people are oblivious to their surroundings:). The bigger the event, the easier to shoot candid shots (like the bike rally in the video). If there are not many people around, I typically start by shooting a nearby object close to the subject of interest even though I have very little interest in the object (i.e. a flower, street sign, building, etc.). This tends to let the person settle back into whatever they were doing. Once I feel they are good, I point the camera in their direction for a quick shot:). If I feel someone catches me, I may approach them and give a compliment about their look, outfit, etc. letting them know I am working on a creative street photography project/portfolio. If this happens (and it is not often), they are typically flatter by the compliment and all is well. Hope this helps!:)
As always, your videos are awesome :) I like street photography though it's quite complicated to be shooting where I am. I mean trouble with the law enforcers
Your videos are amazing! Question; When you took pictures of people, did you ask them before, after or only if they said something to you when you took a picture of them? I like taking pictures of people in their natural state but I never do because I feel intrusive and awkward. Thanks!
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) Not one person said anything nor did I ask. When taking street photos, you are in a public place which is fair game. If someone approached me and asked not be photographed, I would comply without issue:). Most of the time if someone asks - why are you taking a picture of me? They are typically flattered to some extent by the reply which should be - I am a street photographer and find what you are wearing, doing, etc. fascinating. If you intend to take photos of little ones, always ask the parents:). In addition, I always offer to share my images with the subject if they like. I only had one issue taking street photos and that was in Tijuana Mexico (I will save that story for another day/video:)).
Thanks for the post/question!:) The D7000 is a tank and I still have it today:) It is solid, however I am not certain how well it will track using the 3D mode ... not many focusing points in the D7000.
So far, so good:). No issues. I took it with me the other day to take/test some sport shots using the 70-300 with high ISOs and fast shutters - I may create a video on this at some point, but it work well in my opinion:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Ahhhh yes, I did that in Lightroom:). I pulled the saturation back on everything with exception to one color - worked well:).
Thanks for the post/feedback manish!:). ALL images were taken with the D3400 and kit lens. I captured everything in RAW and leveraged Lightroom for a bit a post editing.
RealWorld Friend, HELP me in this.. when captured pics using a rented DSLR, I opted for large 20M capture.. but when transferred to phone using DSLR's mobile connect app, the pic size was around 4 Mb.. Why lost so much detail and how can i get ful quality pics from DSLR to my phone ?
manish if you use the nikon app to directly transfer ur photos, it will transfer a very compressed file. If you want to transfer the full resolution photo, connect both device to a pc and copy it from there.
With snapbridge you can download Jpeg fine if you unpair the camera>choose Original size in auto download selection>then pair it again. You can also get an OTG adapter(android I know has them not sure about Iphones) then you can transfer what ever files you want but you have to have a program on your phone that will read raw images and have the ability to expand your memory on your phone with an SDHC micro card. I know Pollar/photo editor does raw on a PC but not sure on a phone. You can also download them to a computer then convert them to jpeg, png or tiff and then load them to your phone but if I was going through all that I would probably would just process on the PC and share from there.
Am I the only one that's blown away with how well your photos turned out using high ISO's?!?! My gosh, some of those had 2500 - 5000 ISO and the photos looked great. I'm usually skeptical going above 800 but I think I need to reconsider that on my D5300. What are your thoughts on ISO and how high one can go and still get great image quality on these 'entry level' crop bodies? FYI - I hate the term 'entry level' because it gives people the wrong impression. These cameras take amazingly good photos and I feel that that term is degrading and takes away from that fact (not ripping on you, moreso the industry that brands them this way - to me it's more about the glass than anything). Thanks for the great vid - if you could let me know on the above question that would be fantastic :D
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Fully agree regarding the phrase 'entry level':). I have various thoughts regarding the given phrase and will save that for another day/video perhaps:). Nonetheless, I plan to create a relatively quick video very soon regarding post processing high ISO images (stay tuned:)). I captured some images at 12800 ... you can still see noise but the image is usable to some extent in my opinion:). I would not hesitate to go above 800:).
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) The sun was going down when shooting and I used auto ISO (I believe - I like to manually control my ISO but believe I used auto). As I stepped into different scenes (behind buildings, alleys, etc.), the lighting changes which caused the ISO to fluctuate:). The 5400 was attributed to a darker scene - the camera maintained 1/60th of a second at 5400 ISO.
Correct, providing you have auto ISO enabled:). Take a look at another video I created which might be of help - ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html
Another nice video and great pics from the d3400. But street photography is quite risky at times. It all depends on the temperament of those being photographed and how you calm them down. A greatly upset hot tempered individual can create an embarrassing situation.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Ahhhhh yes, street photography can be lots of fun and challenging at times:). Most people do not have an issue - especially is a relatively crowded environment. The truth goes a long way when confronted as the photographer found something unique about the scene/look/etc. If this ever happens, I am always prepared to ... 1) delete/wipe the image (even though it was captured in a public space, etc.), 2) offer to share the image(s) with them. Most everyone is flattered to some extent. If not, simply wipe the image and move-on:).
great video!! Thank you for posting this! I was really impressed with the photos you've taken with the the Nikon D3400, they are beautiful, did you use the nikon d3400 kit lens to take these photos right?
Thanks for the post/feedback Ravi!:) Auto ISO is not a bad option when the sun starts to go down although it is always good to see what the camera uses (put a cap/max on the ISO if needed):).
I know you were in Aperture Priority, but with ISO ranging from 400 to 1600 your shutter speed was mostly around 1/60 of a sec. I definitely require a faster shutter speed, preferably in excess of 1/125 per sec. Was the day very overcast because I think I would of gone with Shutter Priority even though Aperture Priority is my favorite.
Thanks for the post:). I was not as concerned with freezing motion as there was not much fast movement. The video was shot at the end of day as the sun was going down, and I was caught in the shadow of downtown buildings:). I decided to set the ISO to auto with a minimum shutter speed of 1/60. This could have been set to 1/125 which would have caused the ISO to jump. I tried to maintain the lowest possible shutter speed to achieve the lowest possible ISO in order to retrieve the best possible quality:).
@@RealWorld Thanks for the explanation, it's difficult to determine the lighting when you are not on site. Forgot about those towering buildings. There did look to be a nice bit of light cast onto the Starbucks Coffee House, but it is difficult to determine how truly bright it is. You got some really good shots of the bikes with great color. I visit classic car shows in the summer months and I always get some nice color shots. I have to use a tripod and a remote method of triggering the shutter in low light now. Too many health challenges that cause me to have limitations, Parkinson's for one. I have had to give up some things but I drew the line at my Photography. I still shoot Monochrome Film and process and print it in my lab. I also shoot Digital, Photo will keep you alive as the fun never ends.
@@hardrock1826 Agreed:). When I made it to the street, I discovered the impact of tall buildings (heavy shadows). I like car shows as well - lot of colors and classic designs make for good shots:). Hang in there (re Parkinson's; prayers for you) ... you are an inspiration to other photographer's fighting through various challenges. You have the right idea (tripod to steady shots, etc.).
This channel is underrated!
Thanks for the feedback and support!:) The channel is gaining ground!:)
No Raisin I know, bcoz he keep it so simple for people like. But we love his work and all the details without BS. He gives more info in less time deceptively.
I second that, but he will gain for sure, cant thank him enough, discovered his channel week back and learned a lot, first time in my life i took long exposure after watching his other video, I was blown away with the result, i was always afraid and had this thing in mind that my Nikon D5100 is not capable of much, he opened new horizon for me, thanks man, keep it up with the good work.
haha, I was going to comment the EXACT same thing. So true!
Yes thats well said...why underrated, best channel out there for me and wife, our photography went from mediocre to great in a couple of weeks watching this
Hello i bought a new camera Nikon D3500 yesterday but i didn't get that sharp and awesome images like you and i cannot set my ISO like 1100 1200 i can only set it 800 1600 3200 what did you do please reply and sorry for bad English.
Thanks for the post/feedback Zayan!:) Not a problem ... I leverage back button focus and lock focus on the eye of any given portrait ( here is a video on back button focus which might be of help - ruclips.net/video/6qUebpQeclY/видео.html ). You can achieve ISO between stops by using the auto ISO mode:). I created a video in which I discuss this process a bit more - ruclips.net/video/XWBO0DgHtU8/видео.html
I haven't done a lot of street photography. I do landscape & wildlife photography most of the time. After seeing this video, I think I'll concentrate on street photography more often. I think I'll try using my D3400, and my Nikon Coolpix P1000. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for the post Michael and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) There is something about street photography that intrigues me ... people in their natural state, etc.
At 4:02, you photographed a famous dog named Scooter. He belongs to Adam Sandoval. Adam is a pretty well known moto-blogger on you-tube. They travel the country checking out motorcycle ralleys and events. Just found that interesting. Great videos by the way! Just got a D3400 and love it.
Thanks for the post/info!:) I just left a comment on one of his vids letting him know I snapped an image of Scooter:). The rally was good fun loaded with some awesome bikes.
Another great video, I'm definitely excited About the Lightroom one next👍🏿
Thanks for the feedback Craig!:) Time for me to focus a bit on Lightroom as I feel post editing is an important part of the overall process ... stay tuned!:)
Me too! I did the trial version but have not did the full version yet. I guess I need to. Right now I am trying to set up the spare bedroom as a photo studio kind of so my wife and I have a place to process photos. I have a laptop but it is getting a little bit older so probably going to invest in a nice one next year. I have Adobe CS3 and Bridge with camera raw on it and it works OK but after using the trial lightroom I see why everyone says you need it.
Yes thank you. Just took to the Austin zoo today and got some really good shots. Much clearer than my d3200 but also have been applying my new knowledge about f stops and iso. I usually just kept on shutter mode cause I was scared to mess with f stop and iso. I’ve finally am understanding how to use more, and thanks to your videos also. Keep creating!. The world of photography is infinite. I do mostly long exposure stuff, but love animal photography also and street photography.
Thanks for the post/feedback Larry and glad to be of help!:) Sounds like you are on the right path which is good:). Understanding how aperture, shutter speed, and ISO all play together will help better your overall understanding of photography and take you in a new/better direction:). I have traveled to Austin before ... nice area.
Hi from Australia I would like to say Your videos are really awesome.
It was from your videos back in 2018 that got me started and from shooting only in Auto to shooting in manual, fireworks, and night time long exposures.
I like the fact that you use the basic set up to show we can get great shots. You are easy to understand
0:58 - 1:14 Very inspiring explanation.... other Channels are explaining "BASIC" photography yet they're using High-end equipments/gears. lol.. That's why this channel is one of the best...
Thanks for the post/feedback Ken and glad to be of help/inspiration!:)
I love the black and white/blue shots! Can you make a video showing us how to make them from start to finish please?
Thanks for the feedback!:) I have created a few videos on Lightroom and may create another on this topic (removing/modifying color).
I had a 3200 and upgraded to this. Got it for $300 today brand new in box with 55mm and 300mm lenses. I love using shutter mode mostly long exposure/double exposure looking shots are my favorite
Sounds like you got a GREAT deal on it!:) The camera is capable of taking some awesome shots ... a bit of knowledge and experience will go a long way with this camera:).
Hi Realworld, I bought D3400 2 weeks ago and I love it, your videos really help me to make my photography skills better, I have 18-55mm kit lense and I want to know how to set this lens to infinity??? Also I want to buy another lense, is Nikon 35mm 1.8g lense is good option for my camera??? I want to do, landscape, nightscape, stars, trails and portraits.... Thanks in advance 😊😊😊
I’ve been to the circle! It’s beautiful around Christmas.
Thanks for the post - a great place indeed!:) They still light the tree/circle which is great to see as well:).
Thank you man! As a beginner it will help me a lot on photography approach, since I have my entry level nikon d3400!
Thanks for the post/feedback Jerome and glad to be of help!:)
Great video. Easy to understand. Friends tell me which dslr should i buy. My budget is 50k.
I believe 50k rupees is around 725 dollars ... hmmm - this will depend on your needs. If you plan to shoot video in addition to photos, I might lean towards the Canon T6i ( ruclips.net/video/sTi9aUTITlo/видео.html ) or T7i. If you plan to mainly focus on photos, I might lean towards the Nikon D5600 ( ruclips.net/video/qDeW1PYCnmA/видео.html ) with the 18-55 lens or the Nikon D3400 with the 18-55 and 70-300 (or you can save by just going with the 18-55 and consider the fixed 50mm f/1.8 lens ( ruclips.net/video/e2TZVu7yZig/видео.html )).
Hello my friend... Your videos really inspired me to buy D3400... Please can you make a video to take low key pictures using D3400 🙏
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The D3400 is a solid camera - enjoy, explore, and have fun!:) I like the idea and will add it to my short list. TY
i bought a d3400 thanks to you
it is the best camera for me
Glad to be of help!:) A great/capable camera in my opinion ... take time to explore the camera and related features. Don't get frustrated and have fun!:)
@@RealWorld thank you
I like your channel very much. I know this movie is relatively old but I’ll comment it anyway;) I am new in photography’s world and just starting my adventure with DSLR. You explain everything in such great way that I could understand almost everything. That is a big benefit of RealWorld. I just wish that for this particular movie you had also shown what focal length had been used for each shot. Great photos ;)
Thanks for the post/feedback Adam and glad to be of help!:) I added focal length to my shots on newer videos as I thought it might be helpful as well:).
I bought my Nikon D5600 3 months ago as a beginer i try everything especialy street photography but i learn that not all countries u can do that, in some countries you might be sue n jail for taking pictures of them like Japan! Anyway i am pump after watching this video from Realworld, gd job m8 Love all your videos. No cons here, i am a chinese, bought my 1st new entry dslr when i visited Japan 3 months ago!
Glad to see your comments on another video and glad to be of help!:) Street photography can be lots of fun!:) In the United States as long as you are in the public location, you are good. Nonetheless, I do not mind asking someone first as most are fine with having their pictures taken and even flattered to some extent. I encountered various people while conducting my review on the fixed 35mm which will post in the next day or two ... good times:).
Hey, Real World Mark . I bought D3400 just two weeks ago. I really appreciated it. But I can't know about your single color photographs
Great advice and thanks for the tips on dealing with people who may or may not be certain about being photographed!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I like this chanel because you seem happy and enjoying doing what you do. On the street I use mostly shutter priority 1/320s if possible if not than I go down to 1/125s or 1/60 for motion efects. Auto ISO, serial shutter and continous autofocus are important(depending on situation but for most for me). Turning D-lighting and other post processing features to achive better framerate. I also shoot only JPEG for the same reason. Entry level DSLR are so powerfull now. Way more powerfull than best apsc cameras ten years ago.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I started this channel to simply help my brother and a few friends simply understand their cameras better. I soon realized many others were in the same boat:). While other channels cover the latest and greatest from various manufacturers, I wanted to keep everything simple and let people know they do not need the latest gear to capture awesome photos. I like shutter priority as well depending on the subject and desired results:).
Great videos..Can you please also mention the lens you used with D3400? I dont get such sharp photos with mine!
Not a problem ... I used the Nikon 18-55 kit lens:).
@@RealWorld Thank you for taking time to reply..It is encouraging that I don't necessarily have to spend on expensive lenses to get pics like these if I improve my skills..Do you use a tripod for street photography too or have such steady hands?
Steady hands will do the trick:). Just ensure your shutter speed stays at or above 1/60 of second.
"…it’s going to be fun, and that’s what photography is really all about…", now that's a philosophy I can easily live with. I also agree with you about street photography, to me it’s the story of the street at that time and it isn’t about shooting all the down and outs you can find. I use a disability scooter and I don’t want to draw more attention to myself than necessary, so I do more "urban" than "street" and I tend to favour film photography which I’m not sure if it’s still ‘entry level'. Great images, very nice indeed and another brilliant video.
Thanks for the post/feedback Mark and good to see you on the comments!:) I like street photography because they bring about candid shots which are great in my opinion. Having people pose is more common/standard, but capturing people in their natural element is always interesting.
Just awesome! I move to Detroit area a year ago and Monday I'm taking a tour of Detoit so I will be using these techniques! Thank you!
Glad to be of help!:) Ahhhhhh yes, Detroit:). Are you a Lions fan? I was in Chicago last weekend which is another great city for street photos in my opinion but I did not have time to shoot much.
RealWorld not a Lions fan I'm a Cardinals fan lol. Born and raised in AZ. I work for Quicken Loans and our team is doing this big tour of downtown. I just purchased my D3400 not to long ago so your videos have been helpful. I am a super beginner. Let's see how I do on Monday 👍
You are a long way from home!:) Brace yourself for the Detroit winter:). I took many work trips to Phoenix, AZ over a couple of winters ... odd to play golf in Jan/Feb:). Enjoy the camera and snap away. Practice as much as you can before Monday so you are better prepared, etc. Above all - have fun!:)
RealWorld will do. Yeah last year was my first winter ever. Had some sketchy moments but got through it. I will be looking forward to learning Lightroom also.
you're simply the best
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)
I had been doing some research on the d3400 and came across your videos and have watched several of your videos over the last month. I finally gave in and ordered the Nikon d3400 with the standard and 70-300mm lenses. I just got it in the mail yesterday, and I am ready to dive in and start learning the camera. Thank you so much for your videos. I'll be rewatching them as I try different styles of photography. I am wanting to get into street photography, try out light trails, do some sport and concert photography, and since I moved to Orlando, FL, a month ago to work at Disney World, I will be taking photos around the park and try and get some great nighttime fireworks shots. Would you also recommend the Nikon d3400 For Dummies book as a reference? I'll definitely be using your tips for the different styles of photography for different camera settings since I am brand new to digital photography and have no grasp on all the different settings. I'll definitely be schooling myself as I go and using your videos. Thanks for everything!
Thanks for the post/feedback Brad and glad to be of help/inspiration!:) You are in a great location for some awesome photos (Orlando/Disney):). I was a technical editor for one of the Dummies books (unrelated to photography). The editor would send chapters over for review, etc. Nonetheless, would I recommend the book? Stick with my videos and you will be fine:). The book would not hurt, but I am not certain how much it will help:). Congrats on the camera and welcome to the channel!:) If I can do, so can you. The key is to take your time (be patient), understand the settings, practice-practice-practice, experiment-experiment-experiment, and above all - have fun!:) You will soon get the hang of it and your creativity will soar. The first step in my opinion is to fully understand the relationship between ISO, shutter speed, and aperture ... this is the pyramid of importance - the foundation to photography:). ruclips.net/video/6I3jtQfd-sU/видео.html
Excellent! I will definitely be getting good use of your videos. I've got a quick question for you. Do you take the battery out when you are done each time? The handbook says to take it out. I just want to make sure this is needed. With the 38-55mm lens, I am also having difficulty closing the lens all the way when I take it off. Is this normal, or should I be able to get the lens all the way compacted back in? Thanks for everything! I've been trying to search for RUclips videos and content online that addressed these issues, but I haven't been successful locating them.
Glad to be of help!:) I do not remove the battery and do not feel it is necessary unless you plan to camera unused for a long time (i.e. 2-3 months). Interesting to hear regarding the lens. To ensure we are on the same page - are you referring to when you rotate the lens counter-clockwise (zooming all the way out)? Rotating all the way counter-clockwise should lock the lens back on the 18-55. If the lens moves relatively smooth throughout the zoom range, you should be fine. If you feel any grinding, etc., that might be a problem.
Super quality video content as usual fun , relaxing, and motivational, i love my d3400 because of this channel , and i'm happy with the choice I've made, thanks again for your time and effort in sharing great moments with us, my respect.
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) The D3400 is lots of fun and fully capable of capturing many creative photos ... have fun and enjoy the ride!:)
Just bought this camera hopefully being delivered tomorrow. Bought it due to your recommendation. 👍
Yay finally, i just got my nikon d3400 a few weeks ago and i really needed this
Some great pictures there. I'm loving my D3400. Still learning.
Thanks for the feedback Nick!:) Stay the course and have fun - the D3400 is a capable camera:).
I’m also from Indiana and I love downtown Indianapolis! My first DSLR was a D3400. Your videos are so helpful and you’re very well spoken! Great job :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and nice to see another Hoosier on the boards!:) I have a few other Indy related videos - the Indy 500 (ruclips.net/video/ja6RcDEZL9U/видео.html) and others:).
Really enjoying your videos! I am a new Nikon D3400 owner, trying to learn it all. Definitely want to do M not Auto. i am noticing the colors are not as razor-vivid as the should be, nor is the focus....so I'm guessing I need to figure those out. KEEP DOING VIDEOS! (I am going to give that steel wool photography a try on vacation in the summer with grandkids....they will LOVE it!)
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Sounds like you are on the right path and having fun:). I created following video which might be of help (if you have not seen it) - ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html ... I like auto focus which other modes (mainly shutter, aperture, and sometimes manual modes). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
Love your videos, thanks so much.
Thanks for the post/feedback Jim!:)
Thank you so much for your series on the Nikon D3400. Just got one a couple weeks ago. My question and I'm sorry if this has been asked for: Should I get a 500-600mm lens for this camera, is it worth it or is like putting a V8 in Yugo? Thanks again!
Thanks for the post/feedback and glad to be of help!:) Great analogy!:) I have always been intrigue by the extreme zooms. The decision to purchase should not be based on the body but the need for the lens and budget:). Fast zoom lenses can cost a BUNCH (think of the photographer on the sideline of any professional football game for example - huge heavy lens with lots of glass). Slow zoom lenses are much more affordable/reasonable for a slower (for clarification - fast means wide open aperture (f/1.8 for example) and slow would be something much higher (f/7+, etc.)). Fast zooms make sense - sport photographer's are shooting action from the sidelines and perhaps not is the best light, etc. When would you use a slow extreme zoom lens? Perhaps if you are shooting the moon (great for moon shots), or wildlife of a bright day with the subject relatively still (think of a bird sitting on a branch, etc.). It is doable to put an extreme zoom on the D3400 without question but consider when/how you will use it. If I stumbled across a great deal, I might consider it but it would have to be GREAT!:)
Really enjoy your videos since I am newbie and just bought a D5300 but the music you use seem also interesting - This one made me laugh, no idea who the artist is but is in big trouble if not paid the royalties. Welcome to Turkish Rock, "Baris Manco - Aynali Kemer"
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Music is tough for various reasons. I typically reach out the the artist and asks for permission before using. Most have been very nice/generous. :)
Thank you so much for another helpful video.
I would like to learn portrait photography at night and how to capture cool bokeh and light trails with the model.
What! How i can make my nikon d3400 takes pictures like that those colors wow amazing i cant believe my d3400 can do that please please please tell me what settings did you use on those shots.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I shot in aperture priority using RAW and post processed in Lightroom. I have a few videos on Lightroom and plan to create more:). Lightroom is a key component to the overall process in my opinion as it allows for additional creativity. Here is one of the videos - ruclips.net/video/nkh78JifdVc/видео.html
RealWorld thank you so much for the reply to my comment, i love watching your videos i keep learning a lot, i am a subscriber from lafayette indiana, God bless.
Ahhhhh a neighbor to the north!:) Glad to be of help!:)
Awesome video, what lens did you use on the D3400 for this shoot the stock kit 18-55mm?
And yes to the lightroom tutorials.
Thanks.
Great video- thanks! Wondering what settings you recommend for indoor ballet, no flash photos using the D3400? Most grateful!
This guy has great energy
Thanks for the feedback ... it is fun to have fun:).
Amazing photography, absolutely amazing. You talked about changing ISO did you do this because of lower light levels so that you could keep your aperture settings constant?
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Yes, ultimately I changed the ISO in order to maintain an acceptable shutter speed (the aperture was wide open as the sun went down).
RealWorld thank you very much for your reply, it's very much appreciated.
Do you think this camera will do well in home studio environment? Talking about up to 3 flashlights stuff like that?
This can work providing you have some good lights and triggers. I used the same camera to capture some professional head shots and created a how-to video which might be of help - ruclips.net/video/658KIRJvWjM/видео.html
These are so perfect 😍 i like the way you explain and use different cams it makes me feel good about my biggner camera ,
Thanks for the feedback and glad to be of help!:)
I am really enjoying your d3400 series, i just purchased one as my first camera based on your videos.
Very nice video as always! Love the fact that you talk, explain and show incredible photos! Thank you
I love downtown Indy!! Been there a few times as I live right over in NKY by Cincinnati. I would like to try this some time but I think I just would be scared that someone would get mad and start a fight over it. This day an age you never know!! Great video though and hey checkout your fireworks video i posted a link to some i took at riverfest in Cincinnati and just wanted to see what you think!! Thanks and keep coming with the videos. They have really taught me a lot since buying the D3400.
Mr. RealWorld this is an amazing video again! Great work! I would like to know if you are planning to make a video about entry DSLR lenses for someone who just started photography, thank you in advance!
Good job on those shots with that camera, especially the long exposure of the cityscape. I had the worst time trying to do that with that body.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Long exposures can make for some great photos:). Let me know if I can be of help ... practice, practice, practice - you will get there!:)
Thanks, you encouraged me to get back out there. It's been a few months. Feels like I have to start all over again....;~)
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:) Get out there and have some fun!:) I fall into voids as well and need to kick-start my creative juices sometimes:).
Your videos are really awesome..
Please make a video on how you edit your raw photos in Lightroom.
Thanks for the post/feedback:). I have a few videos on Lightroom which can be found here:
ruclips.net/video/ZRJ8aifcin4/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/nkh78JifdVc/видео.html
ruclips.net/video/pKnpLb32j1w/видео.html
I agree with the comment directly below. This channel is underrated
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I suspect it will take-off soon;).
Real world... no Real awesome 👏 man thank you so much for your videos.
Thanks for the post/feedback - appreciated!:)
Excellent video - would have liked to see the focal length data as well for pictures. I’ve learned a lot from watching all of your videos!
Thanks for the post/feedback Martin and glad to be of help!:) I just completed a review on the D5600 and included the focal length in all sample shots - thought it was good idea as well!:) The video will be uploaded in the next few hours.
Thank you for the video. Love to try street photography some time if I have a chance here where I live. But I should have a skill of photography a little bit first. I bought my first DSLR d3400 just 3 months in, play around with it a lot, but most of the time I don't know what I'm doing, lol. Honestly, subbed your channel because of this camera. Keep up the good work!
Great video again! and great images. I have the same camera. These might be silly questions, I am new with using DSLRs. Could you please explain what zoom level you shoot at ? Do you Frame the pictures you capture by zooming in at the time of your shot ? Or do you capture it all then crop later ? Does zoom level have any major effect on the picture being taken ?.
Thanks again for your videos. I learn a lot and trying to experiment while shooting after watching your videos.
Hi Mark. I've been following your channel for quite sometime and I was wondering if you usually set the maximum ISO and minimum shutter speed while shooting on Aperture priority mode..
Thanks for the post/question and welcome to the channel!:) I typically stay in aperture priority and control the ISO letting the camera manage the shutter speed. I set the aperture and take a look at the shutter speed. If the shutter is too slow, I will then adjust the ISO as needed.
I recently have started watching you and I love your videos but can you tell me what video about photography will you make next?
I wasn't trying to say I don't like this video, I finished the whole video and it is great because my school lends students nikon d3400 and a lot of students want to know if it is good or not.
Thanks for your videos. All of them have been very helpful btw thanks for teaching us how to update our cameras firmware and the lens aswell.
I'm a student photographer from Indy and this really helped me think of some good shots throughout the city! You should've shot the canal!
Thanks for the post Jake and welcome to the channel!:) I took a handful of canal photos in 2016 (ruclips.net/video/EgBbzvrMfQw/видео.html) before this channel gained momentum and may revisit the downtown as I review my next camera (waiting for the weather to warm a bit:)). I also created a portrait video using the D3400 and showcased parts of the canal (ruclips.net/video/EgBbzvrMfQw/видео.html) ... lots of good opportunities in downtown Indy!:)
Great video, Mark. You should have a 100,000 subscribers with the high quality videos you make. Very informative and very well made. Thank you, I appreciate it 🖒🖒
Excellent as ever!!!
Eagerly waiting for those lightroom edits..
Great video especially like what you said about street photography. Sometimes it’s way better to catch people no posing but enjoying themselves
Thanks for the post/feedback:). Agreed, candid shots are great in my opinion - capturing someone in their natural state can yield awesome results at times.
Another great video. Although I shoot with Canon equipment exclusively, the techniques you share are generic so that the camera's manufacturer doesn't really matter.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) I shot w/ the Canon 5D Mark IV (create a review vid as well) - really like the camera:).
We need a video on how to connect smart phone as external monitor during video recording
Excellent shots !!! Your videos are great and are helping me to improve my photography skills.
Glad to be of help!:)
Great video and some great shots there! You said you were setting the ISO at 100 and were in aperture priority. Was the ISO in fact in auto and being manipulated by the aperture that you set? The photot you took display various ISO ratings.
Thanks for the post/feedback and great catch - you are absolutely correct!:) Just before I started the video, there was plenty of sunshine, and I thought maintaining ISO at 100 would not be an issue:). As I made my way into the heart of downtown, I found myself caught in the shadows and soon after the sun started to set:). Auto ISO kicked-in and adjusted as needed given different subjects, available light, etc.
I am new to photography and have this camera. Really been using your page to learn more. Thanks buddy.
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)
Fantastic, very inspiring and motivating video as always, keep up the amazing work, definitely subscribed :)
Thanks for the post/feedback and welcome to the channel!:)
Thanks for the GREAT video. I learn a lot of good info that is very helpful with my Nikon D3400.Keep up the hard work.
I love your videos...and yes I am inspired.
However, am always nervous about taking images of strangers on the street...especially children as they would interest me most. You're very braves to take candid photos of bikers lol!
Hi Pamela and thanks for the post!:) Your confidence will quick build after shooting a few outdoor/street sessions. Admittedly, I asked one of the bikers to take a picture of his dog (dog image in video). The dog seemed soooo out of place and ripe for a photo!:)
Amazing photography, fantastic piece to camera composition, great lighting, great performance, great delivery, you make great videos. Fix the sound, these videos a worth good sound, grab a Sennheiser ME66 with the k7 XLR output (Broadcast equipment, old now and at great prices) second hand, throw it in to Tascam D40, use PluralEyes to sync them up ready to edit.
Regardless, you have another subscriber, great stuff.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) You hit the nail on the head regarding audio - uggggg!:) I am a technical person and have improved the audio slightly over the last year or so but still find the process challenging:). I use a Zoom H1 and cheeeeeeap lavaliere mic. I post edit all sound clips using Adobe Audition with a custom setup which seems to work relatively well:). I noticed heavy clipping in the audio for this video during post processing. The environment was loud and I found myself shouting at times:). I should have conducted a quick sound test and lowered the gain. Audio will improve as time moves forward (hopefully):). I will look into the equipment you suggested as well - TY!:)
Great video!!! I am having a problem with the candid shot. It seams that nothing captures the attention of candid subject more then a camera pointed at them in there peripheral vision. Any tips on how to be a little more stealth while taking the shot?
Thanks for the post/feedback and great question!:) I know it feels odd and may seem like your subject will catch you, but I find most people are oblivious to their surroundings:). The bigger the event, the easier to shoot candid shots (like the bike rally in the video). If there are not many people around, I typically start by shooting a nearby object close to the subject of interest even though I have very little interest in the object (i.e. a flower, street sign, building, etc.). This tends to let the person settle back into whatever they were doing. Once I feel they are good, I point the camera in their direction for a quick shot:). If I feel someone catches me, I may approach them and give a compliment about their look, outfit, etc. letting them know I am working on a creative street photography project/portfolio. If this happens (and it is not often), they are typically flatter by the compliment and all is well. Hope this helps!:)
Thanks for the quick feedback. I am new to photography and own a d3400. Your videos have helped me tremendously. Thanks!!!
Glad to be of help Bruce!:)
Great shots and so easy to do 👌
Thanks for the post/feedback - lots of fun!:)
Thanks for this! Btw that instrumental in the middle is awesome, is there a way I can find it?
Glad to be of help!:) I have exchange messages with the artist - a cool/awesome guy ... Ryan Little song is called Wandering
Hi! Would you use the d3400 for long exposures? And if so, will you kindly teach us on what lens and settings would work best with it. Thanks!
How about Nikon D5300 as beginner camera ? I am very excited for it though..
Seeking your reply.
Nice camera - I just release a video review on the D5600 (similar to the D5300) which can be found here: ruclips.net/video/qDeW1PYCnmA/видео.html
RealWorld Thank you...
RealWorld Thank you
Great video thanks
As always, your videos are awesome :)
I like street photography though it's quite complicated to be shooting where I am. I mean trouble with the law enforcers
Your videos are amazing! Question; When you took pictures of people, did you ask them before, after or only if they said something to you when you took a picture of them? I like taking pictures of people in their natural state but I never do because I feel intrusive and awkward. Thanks!
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) Not one person said anything nor did I ask. When taking street photos, you are in a public place which is fair game. If someone approached me and asked not be photographed, I would comply without issue:). Most of the time if someone asks - why are you taking a picture of me? They are typically flattered to some extent by the reply which should be - I am a street photographer and find what you are wearing, doing, etc. fascinating. If you intend to take photos of little ones, always ask the parents:). In addition, I always offer to share my images with the subject if they like. I only had one issue taking street photos and that was in Tijuana Mexico (I will save that story for another day/video:)).
LOL - I may provide more information in another street video. It was an interesting situation and one I will remember for many years to come:).
Hello, hows the d7000 holding up. Would you still reccommend it today to buy used? I mostly shoot a mode using 3d tracking for street photography
Thanks for the post/question!:) The D7000 is a tank and I still have it today:) It is solid, however I am not certain how well it will track using the 3D mode ... not many focusing points in the D7000.
hey mark nice video as always
i wanna ask you how is the nikon d3400 so far ?
So far, so good:). No issues. I took it with me the other day to take/test some sport shots using the 70-300 with high ISOs and fast shutters - I may create a video on this at some point, but it work well in my opinion:). Feel free to follow me on Instragram if you like - instagram.com/realworldpicts I just started the account and plan to post more picts soon:).
How did you do Black and White with color?
Love your d3400 shots! 💪
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Ahhhh yes, I did that in Lightroom:). I pulled the saturation back on everything with exception to one color - worked well:).
RealWorld worked awsome! Cgz on the channel once again!
Great content as always, Thanks.
Keep doing what you love! (and keep teaching us... :P)
Thanks for doing these videos. I always learn a lot.
Is this straight out of the camera? No edit? Or in camera color management? The Colors are great
Thanks for the post/question!:) I used Adobe Lightroom to make slight modifications although nothing too significant.
Great video as usual.. images really captured using d3400 ??
Thanks for the post/feedback manish!:). ALL images were taken with the D3400 and kit lens. I captured everything in RAW and leveraged Lightroom for a bit a post editing.
RealWorld Friend, HELP me in this.. when captured pics using a rented DSLR, I opted for large 20M capture.. but when transferred to phone using DSLR's mobile connect app, the pic size was around 4 Mb.. Why lost so much detail and how can i get ful quality pics from DSLR to my phone ?
manish if you use the nikon app to directly transfer ur photos, it will transfer a very compressed file. If you want to transfer the full resolution photo, connect both device to a pc and copy it from there.
With snapbridge you can download Jpeg fine if you unpair the camera>choose Original size in auto download selection>then pair it again. You can also get an OTG adapter(android I know has them not sure about Iphones) then you can transfer what ever files you want but you have to have a program on your phone that will read raw images and have the ability to expand your memory on your phone with an SDHC micro card. I know Pollar/photo editor does raw on a PC but not sure on a phone. You can also download them to a computer then convert them to jpeg, png or tiff and then load them to your phone but if I was going through all that I would probably would just process on the PC and share from there.
Am I the only one that's blown away with how well your photos turned out using high ISO's?!?! My gosh, some of those had 2500 - 5000 ISO and the photos looked great. I'm usually skeptical going above 800 but I think I need to reconsider that on my D5300. What are your thoughts on ISO and how high one can go and still get great image quality on these 'entry level' crop bodies? FYI - I hate the term 'entry level' because it gives people the wrong impression. These cameras take amazingly good photos and I feel that that term is degrading and takes away from that fact (not ripping on you, moreso the industry that brands them this way - to me it's more about the glass than anything). Thanks for the great vid - if you could let me know on the above question that would be fantastic :D
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Fully agree regarding the phrase 'entry level':). I have various thoughts regarding the given phrase and will save that for another day/video perhaps:). Nonetheless, I plan to create a relatively quick video very soon regarding post processing high ISO images (stay tuned:)). I captured some images at 12800 ... you can still see noise but the image is usable to some extent in my opinion:). I would not hesitate to go above 800:).
Thanks for giving us always great videos ..
Thanks for the feedback Norma and glad to be of help!:)
Keep those D3400 videos coming. Great work.
Thanks for the post/feedback Gavin!:)
Thank again for making me inspired.
Thanks for the post and glad to be of help!:)
Great videos, why u kept higher ISO in most of the pics and in one picture its 5400 can you explain a little
Thanks for the post/feedback/question!:) The sun was going down when shooting and I used auto ISO (I believe - I like to manually control my ISO but believe I used auto). As I stepped into different scenes (behind buildings, alleys, etc.), the lighting changes which caused the ISO to fluctuate:). The 5400 was attributed to a darker scene - the camera maintained 1/60th of a second at 5400 ISO.
thanks for replying, so when you use Aperture Priority in camera means the ISO is on auto, right?
Correct, providing you have auto ISO enabled:). Take a look at another video I created which might be of help - ruclips.net/video/KTneVSxv1qs/видео.html
Another nice video and great pics from the d3400. But street photography is quite risky at times. It all depends on the temperament of those being photographed and how you calm them down. A greatly upset hot tempered individual can create an embarrassing situation.
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Ahhhhh yes, street photography can be lots of fun and challenging at times:). Most people do not have an issue - especially is a relatively crowded environment. The truth goes a long way when confronted as the photographer found something unique about the scene/look/etc. If this ever happens, I am always prepared to ... 1) delete/wipe the image (even though it was captured in a public space, etc.), 2) offer to share the image(s) with them. Most everyone is flattered to some extent. If not, simply wipe the image and move-on:).
so informative.... thanks sir...
glad to be of help!:)
Boss your are a good teacher
I love nikon
Thanks Great Pictures
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Lots of fun shooting the event - lot so interesting people!:)
Great shots
great video!! Thank you for posting this! I was really impressed with the photos you've taken with the the Nikon D3400, they are beautiful, did you use the nikon d3400 kit lens to take these photos right?
Thanks for the post/feedback!:) Yes, I used the 18-55 kit lens for all photos:).
Thank you very much for your answer!
Super and simple video. I think the ISO should be in auto mode. Not ISO100 . Man with the cigarette is more attracted one for me.
Thanks for the post/feedback Ravi!:) Auto ISO is not a bad option when the sun starts to go down although it is always good to see what the camera uses (put a cap/max on the ISO if needed):).
I know you were in Aperture Priority, but with ISO ranging from 400 to 1600 your shutter speed was mostly around 1/60 of a sec. I definitely require a faster shutter speed, preferably in excess of 1/125 per sec. Was the day very overcast because I think I would of gone with Shutter Priority even though Aperture Priority is my favorite.
Thanks for the post:). I was not as concerned with freezing motion as there was not much fast movement. The video was shot at the end of day as the sun was going down, and I was caught in the shadow of downtown buildings:). I decided to set the ISO to auto with a minimum shutter speed of 1/60. This could have been set to 1/125 which would have caused the ISO to jump. I tried to maintain the lowest possible shutter speed to achieve the lowest possible ISO in order to retrieve the best possible quality:).
@@RealWorld Thanks for the explanation, it's difficult to determine the lighting when you are not on site. Forgot about those towering buildings. There did look to be a nice bit of light cast onto the Starbucks Coffee House, but it is difficult to determine how truly bright it is. You got some really good shots of the bikes with great color. I visit classic car shows in the summer months and I always get some nice color shots. I have to use a tripod and a remote method of triggering the shutter in low light now. Too many health challenges that cause me to have limitations, Parkinson's for one. I have had to give up some things but I drew the line at my Photography. I still shoot Monochrome Film and process and print it in my lab. I also shoot Digital, Photo will keep you alive as the fun never ends.
@@hardrock1826 Agreed:). When I made it to the street, I discovered the impact of tall buildings (heavy shadows). I like car shows as well - lot of colors and classic designs make for good shots:). Hang in there (re Parkinson's; prayers for you) ... you are an inspiration to other photographer's fighting through various challenges. You have the right idea (tripod to steady shots, etc.).
