Have ever looked at an image and said it seems to look off? I break down in great detail the different Rules Of Composition so you can see the fundamental building blocks of your images. I hate that statement for many reasons. One, if you know you need to crop it, why not simply shoot it properly. Two, the more you crop, the more you hurt the quality of your images. Cameras all function pretty much the same way.
We take a walk around the mode dial so you get a full understanding of everything it has to offer. From the auto modes to A-S-M-P. Have you ever noticed that your subjects blurred across your image when they were moving fast? In the guide, I use a swing set to demonstrate what effect different shutter speeds have on freezing motion.
It certainly does, the slower the shutter speed, the more light you let in. The faster the shutter speed, the less light you let in. Shutter speed also affects if you can freeze motion or blur it. The general rule of thumb is, the brighter the situation, the lower the ISO. The darker the situation, the higher your starting ISO should be. On top of that, I discuss what causes noise and grain in your images. Do you want to get everything in the frame in focus or just the main subject?
But what happens as I raise and lower my F-Stop? This section clears that all up for you. Did you know the longer the lens, the more compression you get in an image? The wider the lens, the less you get? There are variable aperture and fixed aperture lenses in the world. Variable means the f stop changes as you zoom in and out. Fix means the aperture will stay the same no matter how much or little you zoom.
I show you exactly how it works and how it sometimes can be a little on the confusing side. Do you know the right times to be using Single AF vs. Continuous AF?
Do you know when you would want to switch into Manual focus and do all the work yourself? This section breaks it down perfectly.
The exposure triangle is made up of three building blocks. These building blocks have stayed pretty much unchanged for the last years. And more than likely, years from now the building blocks will still be the same. For this Real World Shoot, I invited a friend and her son to the park for some candid action photos.
While we want the bar to look good for context, we really want Maria to look great, so we show you how we get an ambient exposure of the bar and then light Maria with one off-camera flash. In this shoot we show you how to build your exposure balancing Ambient light. This is a really great progression where we go thru so many options for lighting a subject with one flash and improvising with our surroundings.
This shoot is all about getting creative with flash. To prepare for this shoot, we developed a story behind our shoot and creatively used our environment to light our subject.

He and veteran studio photographer Adam Lerner basically teach you to not be afraid of your flash. Anyone can mount a speedlight to the hotshoe on a DSLR, but your portraits begin to take on a more professional look when you can take that speedlight off the camera and experiment with postion, power, and exposure settings.
Jared and Adam teach you that you can accomplish this with a minimum of inexpensive gear and a few basic lighting rules. They do several in-studio shoots as well as go on-location for environmental portraits. I love it when these two photographers team up because they compliment each other so well. This video is essential for photographers just starting out who want to experiment with lighting, while being extremely useful for experienced photographers who want to refine their technique.
Like all of the Fro Knows Photo videos, this one is a lot of fun to watch. Off camera flash. Oh man! I was always put off by the fear of not knowing what to do.
