The question I get asked most often is, how do you teach yourself to recognise good light? It’s a hard one to answer in one video, so instead I’ve decided to make a series of videos over time to show how I expose and compose images, and what light drew me to the scene in the first place.

    Who's the model?

    Sorry for the late comment; I am a late subscriber. I was surprised to see that your shutter speed is 1/500 with the lighting conditions you had, the picture must have been too dark unless you bumped your ISO really high which will introduce] noise. Can you please enlighten me?

  11. Melendrez Nochistlan says

    Great tutorial

  12. Sebliminal says

    I'm so confused how you got such a bright image with 1/500th of a second, even at 1.4 with only 200 iso. Maybe I didn't quite see the lighting accurately

  13. Peter Arnold says

    I've always tried to find good light when I take photos, but I'll pay much more attention to light after watching this video. Thanks for a gentle, yet concise lesson, Sean. Bravo!
