Hope you enjoy, remember to rate (5 stars!), and subscribe so you can stay up to date with my future videos.
www.learningdslrvideo.com These techniques I am about to explain to you are based on my observations on how my videos require more work to match that of what I see on the big screen in the move theater. 1. Set your camera to 24fps. To be honest this is probably provides the smallest benefit of all the items I am going to tell you about. Most people can not tell the difference from 24 to 30 fps, this happens more on a sub-conscience level. The main reason I shoot at 24fps is not the look, it is because it creates smaller file sizes for me to edit with. 2. Shoot with a shallow depth of field (large sensor) This can be done with DSLR with large sensors like the 5D T2i and the 60D. This I think is the item that provides the most benefit of all the items I have. Not every shoot has to be this way, but just watch and film or good TV show and you will see super shallow depth of field used over and over. 3. aspect ratio, this is the second most important. Normal people notice this right away when their TV is letter boxed once the movie starts. This is a dead giveaway that this is a film. 4. Shoot in 720p or higher, to match film you are going to need all the resolution you can get. However many will not notice that much difference between 720 and 1080. 5. Use a tripod, a monopod, use a rig on your shoulder, most important keep it steady unless shakiness adds to your story. 6. Use a slider or a dolly at least a few times to reveal something 7. use a gib, most films use an …

DSLR Tips: Using polarizing filters
May 24, 2012 by 47 Comments
Full guide at: www.dslrtips.com – How to use polarizing filters to reduce haze and deepen blue skies, by Gordon Laing, Editor of www.dslrtips.com
Photography Tutorial for Beginners: APERTURE Tutorial SHUTTER SPEED Tutorial ISO Tutorial There three things that affect the exposure of an image: The APERTURe, SHUTTER SPEED and ISO. You need to find the perfect balance between these three elements to get the right look that you want, as well as the right exposure. The aperture affects the amount of light that comes into the sensor and the depth of field. The depth of field will determine how much of the image is in focus. The shutter speed will determine the length of the exposure. The longer the shutter speed, the more light comes in, and the shorter the shutter speed, the less light comes into the image. It also determines the amount of blur that appears in the photo. A longer exposure is more susceptible to blur and camera shake. The ISO is the sensitivity of the sensor to light. Lower ISOs mean that the sensor is less sensitive and therefore going to need more light to expose an image. Higher ISO requires less light to expose and image, but adds noise the the image. Noise will saturate color, making them look unrealistic. Getting the right exposure is all about balancing these three elements. It will take time, but if you learn the basics, it gets easier!

iPhone Portrait Photography Crash Course | How to take great images with your iPhone or Cell Phone
April 24, 2012 by 25 Comments
I made this video to show iPhone users, as well as all cell phone camera users, how to take great portraits without any additional lighting equipment or gear. By knowing a few basic principles about exposure and lighting, you really can take great photos with just your phone’s camera. Many of the images I took were at lower resolutions (less than 1MP), and I will even make some great suggestions on which Apps to use for post processing. I will have more information about this shoot which can be found on my blog at: www.michaelthemaven.com. Enjoy!

sigma 50mm f1.4 review With pics
I gladly offer this basic, 5-part series of photography lessons FOR FREE! Our world has become increasingly visual in the way we communicate. We not only take more pictures, we show them, send them and display them to more eyes than ever before. Wouldn’t it be nice to capture and show better pictures? In this series, I get us thinking about… 1. How to tell a story with our photographs by understanding the 4 dimensions associated with the art. 2. The basic elements of “composing” our photographic story. How do we put things in our viewfinders so people get the essence of that moment that inspired us. 3. Understanding exposure, light and color and how they combine to say what we want. 4. How lens choice and operation effects focus and how focus effects what we show in our photos 5. The people in our photographs and the people we are showing them to. Please enjoy these lessons. They’re not meant to be comprehensive and their not meant to be exhaustive or advanced. That doesn’t mean I don’t encourage any questions you might want to post for either me to try to answer or anyone else who comes along. Please, be kind, helpful and enjoy.

Achieving Critical Focus With DSLR Cameras
February 28, 2012 by 41 Comments
www.learningdslrvideo.com I ran in to something interesting while I was showing my Dad my new T2i 550D DSLR camera. We both took pictures of each other on a tripod and since it was my Dad and wasn’t one of my kids I used the manual focus on the lens and then zoomed in all the way using live mode to make sure the reflection of the eye ball was in perfect focus. This was all at f3.2. Then after I took the shot and then play it back on the camera’s screen it looked a little soft. But when I imported it in to Adobe Lightroom and zoomed in the eye ball reflection looked perfectly sharp. So the thought occurred to me that what we see in jpg form on the back of the camera which looks soft is because of the picture style applied(sharpening) or just that the jpg is not that good compared to live mode. Has anyone else noticed this? I image this is also the case when you are in video mode.
www.clickherephotographytips.com This description is very important and must be read This video is another example of using Depth Of Field, it is about getting away from your computer and taking photographs As daunting as it may seem, Depth Of Field is actually very easy to understand and easy to use in your photography, the creative aspect comes when you wish to provide a particular mood for your photography. Depth Of Field (DOF) does not involve smoke or mirrors, it is fun to experiment with and it will improve your skills as a beginner or intermediate photographer Guaranteed! It is very important to remember that your shutter speed and aperture (F-stop) need to change at the same time to achieve a correctly exposed image either on your digital sensor, or; on your film. This is easy to achieve using a Digital Camera as you can take your photographs using Aperture Priority (or Shutter Speed Priority), however; if you are using a manual operated film camera you need to remember to make the necessary alterations if it is not possible to do this within your camera If you are using a film camera, perhaps this would be an excellent opportunity to use a hand held exposure meter More on this in other videos dont rush out and buy one as I need to explain this in another video. Important note If you do not change your aperture and shutter speed at the same time (in balance) then, you will be risking either over exposure, or; under exposure I hope that you continue to enjoy my …
