I have to agree with everyone! You are fantastic! I checked a few of your video's out and I am "amazed" at how well you describe everything to such a professional level with such ease to the public! I myself use a Canon 70D with a Canon 18-135mm IS and Canon EF 70-200mm F4l IS lens, 580EX flash and a lightweight Manfrotto ball head tripod when I'm out in the field. With such easy explanation's of using camera equipment and their functions you are the best I've ever seen! "awesome"
At 6:14 why is your face so red ?
You are now my new fave photography youtuber..
Thanks again. Any suggestions (anyone) on good strong head and tripod for sky/moon/airplanes phone and video, using a nikon p1000. So far it's the MVH502A by Manfrotto I'm thinking. Is this a good one for the money? I just want good one, cost is okay.
Also the light off the ceiling is not as interesting because the dark within the light makes the image pop. The colors in her shirt are more crisp and bright her face is clearer the only thing that is better about the second image is the fact that since the light is coming from overhead the shadows accentuate her breasts and the folds of her shirt more. Why can't you shoot the light from above but not have it be so warm looking?
I dont like the warmer flash it makes her look too orange to me. She looks more natural on the original
I have been looking for videos on YouTube to help me get more out of my photography, but none were saying what I wanted to hear until I came across your channel. just love the way you teach man. You break it down so well. I am loving every video I have seen so far.
Recently got my first quality camera and tonight I discovered you. You're a gifted teacher! I'm learning so much. Think I'll binge watch a bunch of your videos now and catch the rest over time later. Thank you for making them and providing free access.
Amazing stuff.
8 years later and it has still vastly educated me in a clear yet approachable humble manner.
My greatest thanks.
Wow what a great video, just came across your channel.
You articulate these videos so well, you are absolutely one of the best both creators and narrators with the way you do these.
Short, sweet, succinct, and highly articulate, even that 11 minute video just flew by, you’re really talented not just shooting photography but in making videos as well.
Really helpful and thank you, definitely subscribed!
I've had a dslr for 4 years now and i just realized i can control the brightness on the pop up flash! thank you sir!
Amazing explanation.. You earned a subricriber..😊😊😊
I agree with everything except the part when you say you can partially cover the built-in flash with your finger. God no! That makes your source of light partially or fully red which is awful
Awesome as always. I especially love all the shots of San Diego which is where I live as well. Cool to see…
Do I need a tripod to shoot photo when I'm using night portrait mode / night snapshot mode?
What's the best lens for portraits i have in mind the 50mm 1.2 .. can u help me plz !
Hi there! Where can I buy an used canon 7D Mark II till arrive in Mozambique?
Simply the best training videos! Thanks a lot
Love the work! Keep grinding
I have to add my "bravo". Really simple (but not too simple) and thorough. I have a question here about flash. When you are indoors or somewhere where you need to get pictures of stuff in display cases, or something like the inside of an engine where the opening is covered with glass or plastic, how do you get that without having to find the "perfect" angle? Now we're talking about situations where there is just not enough light without flash (like in a submarine). Would a soft box help here?
Way better explanation and the content is helpful to understand. To the point video. Thank you for the guidance
I like the clear, calm, no bullshit style of Phil Steele’s tutorials on photography.
Thanks a lot! I do love your videos. Really helpful to a very amateur like me. You're such an charismatic and incredible man.
thank you
You can bounce the light off the ceiling even if if the ceiling is liver-brown. You simply set a custom white balance, and it looks fine.
Excellent video!
Excellent videos mate, keep up the good work!
Well, I've been on you emailing list for quite awhile but unfortunatley I thought it was something I had nevr subscibed to so I nevr opend it.. Today I clicked on the link and read the article on using a flash. I liked the real world nature of your acount of using a flash and loved hearing a professional complain about using heavy cameras and extnding your arm with a flash for long periods of tim. I kind of assumed that professionals must be past all of thse nagging issues but you're not.
From there I loked at your website and Youtube videos. When I saw your face I realizd that I had probalby signed up for your emails as a result of watching your video on lens hoods quite awhle back. To make a long story short I am impressed and will be buying one of your courses soon. In the meantime ontinued succss.
What!!!!. Amazing MASTER!!!!!!! amazing simple explanation!!!. thanks a lot. Can´t wait to see the content on your web page.
what lens did you have on your cannon?
Great information Mr Steele. For those people who thumbs down videos there should be a comment line on why they did it as sometimes I can't see any reason to do this apart from trolling. I bet those people don't spend hours making videos and freely giving up valuable information to everyone. It's not easy to do!
Keep up the great work matey. 🙂
great video
Calm, informative, practical and useful. Excellent presentation
can you suggest me which lens i should use 70-300mm for canon 750d , there are too many names and number on lens model, confused what exactly they telling 🙁
