Taking a picture with a DSLR Camera

and my name is Aaron Long, and today's date is

February 12 2021 the pastors with speeches, candles.

So my father started to pick up my camera one

day and just take some photos off our cat.

Look, mind you, he has no idea how to operate

this camera and I shoot in manual.

So he just decided to pick up the camera one

day and shoot with same settings that I shot with

probably the day before, when I was taking wildlife photography.

So, as you can imagine, this is how the photo

came out.

Poor thing.

It's the photo is completely under exposed.

It's blurry.

I mean, it's all around.

It's about photo.

Sadly, however, this is how the picture is supposed to

turn out clear, Perfectly exposed.

Cute. No, I'm gonna be showing you today how to

get a photo like that.

And by manually setting the settings in your camera how

to manually operated camera by setting the shutter speed, which

is the top row three I s O, which is

the bottom road and the middle road, which is the

aperture of the F star.

Now, that's what I'm doing this because I want you

to be able to take a clear photo and not

lose your cool next time and cost like a sailor

like my dad did because you thought, Take my photo,

which just as easy as clicking a button.

It's not a promise.

So let's move on to the most important aspect in

my opinion, which is the shutter speed.

Now they're true, and it is very important to pay

attention how to manually set your shoulder speed in order

to get the clearest picture possible.

The reason being is light sensitivity, right?

The shutters open for only a short amount of time

or a longer amount of time, depending on how you

sit it.

It's the difference between here.

Click and click like when you're taking a photo booth.

Time difference between clicks is the amount of time the

camera uses the natural light to store the information of

the picture being taken.

So this directly plays into the motion effects.

Because if I'm moving my hand really quickly like this

and you wanna take a picture and your shutter speed

is too slow, pictures gonna be blurry.

But if the shutter speed is quick enough of the

stores that information quicker.

Then all of a sudden you get a perfectly frozen

hand. That is true.

I'll show you what I mean.

So you move on to to in this example my

photo I had the shutter speed set too slow for

the emotion, for the speed of the motion that was

happening off the hands and my subjects.

The subjects were clear, but the hands are out of

focus, their blurry because my shoulder speed wasn't quick enough

to catch their movement.

Now we can still have a super slow show.

Just being great, get a great photo like when you're

trying to shoot the Milky Way.

You just can't have any movement because it will completely

distort the photo.

So when you have too high of a charter to

be, though, you get the first effect of why this

photo was completely bad.

It is.

There was not enough natural light to store enough information

for the amount of time that the shutter was open.

So it couldn't store enough information in the time that

it was open Now, But you can still have a

super fast shutter speed and get a super clear photo

because remember, Like I said, you could get me waving

my hand on the surface to be quick enough and

then frozen.

You can also do the same thing with flapping the

flapping of a bird's wings.

You can catch them like this as you see in

the photo.

Thank you.

So to speak is quick.

No. So that is probably the most important reason most

important to pay attention during the next most important thing

to pay attention to is the cameras Aiso.

So the isso is basically the cameras, artificial light sensitivity,

and it came from in the 19 seventies, 12 centralization

organizations came together for filmmaking and digital photography becoming one

I s So it's just the name that they stuck

with because it is the acronym for the name of

the emerging organization that deals with artificial light sensitivity.

So why is I s so so important?

As you can see, I am perfectly exposed.

I'm perfectly in focus.

I'm not blurry at all.

So what happens when you have to, Logan eyes was

the second reason why this photo was bad.

There there's not enough artificial like to brighten up the

picture and tell the camera.

Okay, This might be what the information is that I

was trying to shoot, ending up in a blurry photo.

You can have the same blurry effect when you have

too much information being stored in each individual pixel.

As you can see, the license plate is completely blurry.

Nas overexposed and between each No think there are thousands

of artificially lit up pictures that you can see in

the background, making the photo of grainy and blurry of

the low quality photo because cameras artificially trying to put

information here that it couldn't that it doesn't know what

it is in reality.

So now let's move on to aperture, which is actually

the most important thing of camera.

But because it deals with the natural light that the

camera can take in, however, it's the easiest to control,

so that's why it's last on you now.

Aperture is the hole the size of the hole that

the camera that the focal blades that the focal blades

create, allowing in like more natural light if it's larger

and smaller, less if it's smaller.

Now, as you can see here in the diagram is

exactly what I just explained.

with the focal blades increasing or decreasing the diameter of

the aperture.

So when you have a lower number or yeah, when

you have a lower number or a larger aperture, you

have a shallower that the field because the camera can

only focus on one plane, which means, as you see

with my friend Rodrigo here, the plane that is focused

on is the middle plane, the front plane, the foreground

and the background completely out of focus.

However, the middle ground where he's sitting at is completely

in focus.

That is the point of this of having shot out

of the field.

Now, if you have a lower average sure or a

smaller hole, but a larger number, you have, uh, deep

depth of field because the camera has to focus on

everything in order to gather as much information as possible,

meaning the background is perfectly and clear.

Clear. The rocks are perfectly clear.

I'm perfectly clear, so you have to be able to

understand what type of photo that you're going for, because

you can obviously get different type of effects for the

different types of shoots.

However, now that I gave you a short crash course

in how to manually operate your camera.

Can you actually tell me what is wrong with this

photo I gave you Hinz.

So my dad settings shutter speeds were too high in

2000 is too fast for indoor lighting.

Thief soap was five but is too small.

There's not enough natural light getting into the camera, and

the I so 400 was not artificial enough light to

try to make up for that lost information.

So we'll always remember to have a higher shutter speed

or lower started to be, depending on the amount of

natural light in the natural speed motion that you want

to capture higher, lower average or depending on how many

subjects you want and focus that the field and how

much like you want to get into the camera and

the lower Hirai.

So depending on the amount of light now she available.

So I really hope that this hold you out.

Thank you
