I especially appreciate the simplicity of your explanations.
I will be checking out your other tutorials for sure. Thank you.
I see that in many tutorial, they recommend AF-C for sports and wildlife even when the subject is moving from left to right and you are panning. But as per your demo it seems, AF-C useful only when the subject is moving towards the camera or away from it. So guess AF-C when panning is not the right mode?
thank you ๐
Great tutorial thanks, but say you're on aperture priority, if the object is coming towards you, it will eventually go beyond the DOF range and lose focus, even with AF-C continuously trying to focus. How to avoid that situation?
Thanks I found this easy to follow and helpful
great trick!ย Thanks for sharing.ย
Question – I have a Canon T3i and what should I set metering to.. spot, evaluative..?
Thanks a lot from a user who is lazy to read a camera manual ๐
Great video!
what is 3D-tracking? How is it different to CAF?
POUTube i was wondering according to you what are the best settings to take a group picture having about 15-20 people and under bright sunlight?
GREAT VIDEO…so helpful that you included the 'viewfinder' view so we could see the effects in realtime on the pen. Very helpful..Cheers
i am not able to move my single focus point to any where as you move it to right side or left side where ever you want… Please explain me how do it.
POUtube I was just wondering how do you shoot in continuous focus and compose your shots just how you want them?
Can somebody help me how to set 3d tracking on Canon T4i? Please! Thank you!
subscribed! love the simplicity with wich you approach these lessons ๐
hey i have a very inportant question. where are CH CL nd C in nikon d5000?
@PhotographersOnUTube i set my camera on 3d tracking in continuous mode, but it's not tracking. is there some other setting i need to be aware of to get this to work? thanks ๐
Hi there Sir! ๐ Thanks for this tip you gave us. ๐ But I have a question, is this also applicable for moving subject like landing aircraft (plane spotting)? ๐ Thankssss! ๐
NICE
Ok, I know when you are doing portrait shots you're supposed to focus on the eyes…so does that mean to focus directly on one of their eyes or in between their eyes? Or is there a way to have more than one focus point? Also, where should you focus if you're taking a pic of 2 people? A group of people? I love your videos and fb page! I'm learning so much from you!
great video , clearly explained ,
thanks
Do you use lens filters? I see some photographers dont even bother with them.
@PhotographersOnUTube OK, thanks…….I don't have 3d tracking, but I do have continuous shooting (10 images/sec) so I think I will try that out for starters! I wish I didn't panic with my camera when a new photo opportunity comes up!! *Sigh* Thank you for the great vids! :o)
Great explanation – I have a question though! Would you suggest the above for quick moving subjects or the sports choice in the scene selection, please? (I have a sony a55 btw!) Thanks!

Hi could you do a video about pricing for setting fee's and so fourth?
