Three steps to professional portrait, object and action photos with your new DSLR

Sir. LOTS OF THANKS FOR MAKING THINGS SIMPLE.
B.T.W: You resemble like Clarke from SUPERMAN 😀

You should really put up the sex toys (night stand next to bed) before you shoot a video. That’s HUGE btw!!

great video. Which camera would you pick between a used 5d mk3, a used 7d mk2 or a new d80. I would love your opinion

man behind u ..ur monkey is giving u angry a look..

nice video
thank u so much

Just getting started with your photography? I highly recommend this video from +Nick Murray I completely agree with Nick's advice in the video. From my experience most people seem to lack confidence in their ability to create a image that satisfies them quickly enough. The enjoyment is important to encourage you to keep shooting. If you set aside the mechanics of photography when you are just starting out the more pleasure & fun photography is. Learn one or three things at a time and do them well 🙂 

A great +Photographic Learning Resource  😀 ♥

What do you prefer?
Cannon 1000d 18-55 mm
or Sony a200 18-70 mm

This is unfortunately such a difficult subject. Or rather, it can be. I think photography (and videography) has to be separated into three categories – journalistic documenting, capturing emotional scenes (which is often not journalistic simply because it can skew reality and bias the viewer), and finally there's the craft of creating artistic imagery, such as for films. You can give better category names to all that, but the point is that your intent has to be sorted prior to taking the photo. If you're documenting an event, you should NOT go crazy with color adjustments, weird angles, high contrast etc. The goal is to squeeze as much information into the scene as possible for the purpose of conveying an accurate idea of what happened to the viewer. Capturing photos that trigger emotions in the viewer, is kind of like telling a story with visual elements. It's all about arranging (composing) things in such a way that you keep a higher concentration of certain elements in the image, while removing others (in whatever way you like). You have to manage distractions. Whether you blur them out, whether you pick a specific angle, whether you play with contrast, whether you crop the image in post – just pick your weapon. So you have to be really aware of what's in your picture, and force the viewer to only have access to the elements that you want. Artistic photography is largely about setup and control. You mess with your scene until it becomes something unique and fascinating. Other people are not guaranteed to share your feelings, of course. But some will (welcome to art lol). You can paint your scene with lights, you can introduce interesting and contrasting colors – you're really just creating a painting but with real visual elements. Therefore, the best prerequisite is for you to know a thing or two about actual painting (wiki something like "chiaroscuro" for an example). The moment you start messing with colors, is when you enter the artistic domain. Your skills as an actual artist will quickly reflect in your photography, which could be really great or horrifyingly terrible.. and you can probably guess the odds here. 😉 So be careful and practice moderation if you're unsure. Otherwise, it's just practice, practice and more practice hehe.

Visual stuff like this can be very tricky, and it takes a huge amount of effort to surpass mediocrity, even though it doesn't take much effort to reach it. Good luck to whoever reads this. :>

Thank you, I just purchased a Nikon D3200 kit package and have always really enjoyed photography, but have been using IPhone 5s and now the iPhone 6 plus. But am very excited to start using my new camera once it gets here!! Love you videos by the way, oh and hurry up and get that new Porsche!!!

I really want a 85mm f2.8 …. I have not touch my DSLR for while. Thanks, Nick!

I use a Sigma 50 1.4 on my 7D and it's been a good step up from the 50 1.8. I prefer the 50 to an 85 on a crop sensor, but it's all about personal preference. Thanks for the video!

What about landscape shots? 

I'd like to add something. When shooting portraits it's really important to get the eye in focus. Since the DoF is so narrow you might want to use 'focus and recompose' technique or move the focus point altogether. 

Only a few, short steeps. Great teeps.

Dude, if thats the girlfriend, niiiiiiice! If its your sister, i apologize. Side note, love all your videos

Yes!  Another photography video from you.  Got bored with all them fancy cars you play with.  Haha.
