The Challenge: Use a Canon 80D and kit 18-135 lens for a “5 Min Portrait” / “Real World Review” at Norman Porter Jean Company. Similar to past “5 Min Portraits” I had never done a photo shoot with the Canon 80D or kit lens. This is honestly what photography is all about, it’s all about being able to pick up any camera, any lens at any time and get professional results.

    Oh my goodness. I feel like I hit gold by coming across this video. I just ordered an 80D, so of course I'm searching for tutorials on YT in order to learn how to use the new equipment. Yes, I am learning SO much from this video. BUT secondly, I sew dolls for my business. This video is very helpful by providing me some in the studio shots I can use for myself. The shot with the scissors and the guy blown out in the back was very nice! Thanks for this video!

    Why not auto-ISO when using a variable aperture lens?

    I know it's an old video.. but it'd be nice if you threw up the exposure settings on each picture.

    Shooting in a dark theater with my T2I and 15 – 85mm means I am limited. I can get some good shots but miss others with a useable ISO of 1600 max. Equipment does matter, although point taken. Thanks for video.

  14. Steve Workman says

    Thank you for sharing, what a great lesson!

  15. Geri Tisdale says

    Well now I'm not sure if I want to upgrade to the 80D or 6D Mark ii. I currently have a Rebel T4i but wanting something better for low light.

    Jared your channel is by far the most informative and educational photography channel with tangible takeaways every time. Always learning something new from you. You frame topics incredibly well and make them digestible for an amateur like myself. Just purchased Going Above and Beyond Auto because of all the value I've received from your videos. Thanks Jared!

    Know this is an older video but felt the need to leave a comment. Great stuff, great points, and as a person with a "less" expensive camera and just getting more heavily (trying to anyone) photography it exemplifies the importance of learning the basics, composition, settings, lighting, etc. Just found your channel to browsing through videos.
