Dear Paul, Thank you once again !!! What makes your lessons stand out from the rest of the other videos on photography is that your explanation is in the simplest of terms and language as well as you use the most basic models of body and glass(lens). You are a natural teacher !!! Stay safe and blessed ...! 1. Use a large aperture 2. Use a fast prime lens, if possible 3. Use aperture/manual priority 4. Move closer to the subject 5. Increase distance between subject and background 6. Use backlit/sidelit or hair light ( if possible)
i Just bought my first DSLR camera for my 70th Bday and you are one of my teacher's. I like that you get to the point and don't wonder, like telling me what your dog eats or some other lame story like so many other YT vids ( no offence ) to your pup or you. Thank you for helping me understand my new camera......
Great to hear! I just bought one myself at the age of 75! Loving it! We're never too old to learn. Paul's definitely the guy to teach us too. Less waffle, more useful content!
Finally! I think I am beginning to understand how to get blur...I have been working on this for several weeks with no results. I have watched many of your videos but just watched this one. Thank you, you have helped SO much.
Im a newbie on photography and been checking a bunch of channels for tips and tricks to get me going and I must say.. your channel sir, might just be the best 😀👍🏻
So, how come you’re the best!!! I’ve learned so much from your short videos than I ever learned from reading and other videos that get off track. Thank you so much.
you literally explain it so easily than others. I don't know how but I completely understand everything when I watch your videos, when I watch others its so complicated lol
I just bought a beginner Canon camera and have been overwhelmed trying to watch a million you tube videos- nothing stuck until I came across your videos. I believe I am FINALLY starting to understand! Thank you!! xox
THANK YOU. My photography teacher gave me one last chance to figure out FOD by today. Nothing, not even the cameras manual ( or my teacher) could help me figure it out. But you, this video.. it saved me!! Thank you!
Im a newbie on the field of Photography and been checking on some of vedios to help me with some cool tips but so I must say your your vedio are just the best and I can easily uderstand thank you so much for sharing with us
I recently started Photography & I just want to say Thank u for sharing your videos & tips . They have helped me so much . ❤ I have a Canon Rebel T6 & I love it .
I agree with everyone on here you by far are the best videos explaining different modes and helping us actually learn how yo use our cameras. Thank you
Commenter Roby James could not have said it better! This is my first time visiting this channel and I'll be back. You are a great teacher, a great presenter, explainer and demonstrator. I enjoyed your video immensely! Very nice job. Thank you!
OMG Paul, I have paid for tons of photography classes. You are the best instructor I have ever listened to. Your lessons are well thought out, easy to understand and extremely helpful. You are awesome mate. Thank you so much.
Thank you. That little tidbit you shared about the focal length affecting aperture is exactly what I needed to know. I was trying to take a photo of flowers in a tree outside with a shallow aperture, but the camera wouldn't let me. It kept changing to f 5.6. Now i know why. 😊
Wow, I have been using the Nikon and learned more about what I have trying to do on it in this video than most others. The pace was perfect. The pictures assisted in a better understanding of results achieved from methods in the video instruction. Thanks
Thank you! I'm not a photographer and I've been watching several videos on how to blur the background on my videos. Your video is the first that explained things in very simply lay terms that was easy to understand and eased my confusion. Awesome video!!🙌🙌🙌
Thank you Paul for taking the time to clearly explain these techniques and methods to achieve these results. I just recently got into photography beyond taking photos with a cell phone and your help and advice has made a tremendous difference for me and also given me the motivation to keep learning more. I've got an entry level Canon Rebel T7 and the pictures I can take with the knowledge you willingly share has been a fantastic experience. I cannot believe how good some of the pictures I have taken have turned out. Thank you for everything you are doing to help us fall in love with this wonderful hobby!
I'm new to photography. I have a lovely Sony RX100 miii and learning so much. Thanks for the vid. Now I know a lot more and was wondering how to blur background. Now I know. Cheers from the UK
Excellent video in explaining depth of field. I have never found a video that teaches this so clearly. After many years I now understand the numbers on the lens. EOS Rebel T7 newbie USA Maryland. Thank you!
Hi. I've been taking pictures for decades and took courses in College. Due to situation, I hadn't touched my Nikon 5100 for 2 years. I picked it up the other day and forgot how to blur background. Sure I forget many techniques. Your tutorial helped me greatly. I had the eureka moment. lol Now, I subscribed and will watch you as if I'm listening to my great prof! Thank you so much for your easy approach to the scary abyss of photography which can bring you out into the sunlight! All the best. Thanks again!
Appreciate your time and effort in teaching us beginners. You for sure come down to my level in where you make it easy to learn. I kind of have a learning disability but you make it where I can understand. Really do appreciate you meeting me/us at where you make it sound easy. I just have to take a lot of notes and listen many times over to the videos. Thank you so much for making these videos for free where some may not be able to attend a class about photography. Thank you and may the Lord Jesus bless you in all areas of your life friend.....
You're such a phenomenal teacher, I went through 5 videos that just baited me and didn't provide any clear insight. You did it magnificently sir! Thank you so much, you earned by sub!
Hi Paul, today I bought a small note book and started writing down all ur notes, even I watched again the previous 2 videos to add more notes, thanks again
