Buy our photography books & video training at http://northrup.photo10 years ago Chelsea & I made a 7-hour photography training DVD/BluRay series. A lot has changed in photography since then (you'll see a lot of HDR in this video haha), but the fundamentals have stayed the same, and these lessons are still valid. I think the timing is good because YouTube and TikTok have degraded the study of the art of photography down to clickbait and 30-second “tips”. This is a structured and thorough lesson. Bookmark it, put your phone down and pay attention. Your time will pay off. If you think others should learn the fundamentals of photography, please share this video.0:00:00 INTRODUCTION0:01:19 PART 1 - QUICK TIPS0:18:31 PART 2 INTRODUCTION - COMPOSITION0:19:22 Have a Focal Point0:20:30 Simplifying Photographic Compositions0:24:05 Travel Photography Tips0:25:56 Rule of Thirds0:28:57 Rule of Space0:31:03 Angle of View (Focal Length)0:33:44 Controlling the Background0:37:43 Showing Scale0:39:15 Using Lines as Compositional Elements0:43:18 Patterns in Photography0:49:38 Symmetry in Composition0:52:57 Showing Depth0:56:57 Creating Panoramas1:01:29 Abstract Photography1:03:55 Black & White Photography1:20:24 Photography Composition Practices1:22:27 PART 3 INTRODUCTION - LIGHTING & FLASH1:23:27 Hard & Soft Light1:28:47 Reflected Light & Color Casts1:32:30 Direction Light (Front lighting, side lighting, back lighting)1:46:09 Lighting Quiz1:50:38 Golden Hour1:56:05 Using the Photographer’s Ephemeris2:07:23 Using Flash for Photography 2:09:51 Using Fill Flash2:13:12 Using Bounce Flash2:15:13 Flash Modifiers2:20:04 Using High Speed Sync (HSS)2:24:06 White Balance2:34:49 Taking Pictures in Full Sunlight2:37:55 Using Flash Exposure Compensation2:40:30 Flash & Lighting Practices2:45:10 PART 4 INTRODUCTION - CAMERA SETTINGS2:45:17 Parts of your Camera3:10:53 Focusing Types: Manual Focus, Autofocus, Continuous AF3:21:44 Back-button Autofocus3:25:18 Precise Focusing3:27:50 Shutter Modes (Single Shot, Continuous Shutter, Delayed Shutter)3:31:36 Understanding Shutter Speed & Shutter Priority Mode3:40:03 Avoiding Camera Shake3:47:39 Handheld Long Exposures & Reciprocal Rule3:52:35 Aperture, f/stops and Depth-of-Field4:09:51 ISO4:14:25 Auto Exposure & Exposure Compensation4:24:51 Exposure Compensation and Histograms4:34:36 Exposure Triangle (Aperture, Shutter Speed & ISO)4:48:10 Raw vs JPEG for image quality4:59:43 Practices for Understand Camera Settings5:18:29 PART 5 INTRODUCTION - TROUBLESHOOTING PHOTOGRAPHY PROBLEMS5:18:48 Troubleshooting Blurry Pictures5:32:41 Testing your Camera’s Autofocus System5:50:18 Removing Stuck Lens Filters5:51:58 Troubleshooting Motion Blur5:59:17 Diffraction6:01:34 Checking Lens Sharpness6:08:21 Noisy Images6:14:17 Color Problems6:18:52 Washed-out Pictures6:21:44 Chromatic Aberration (Fringing)6:23:01 Dust Spots on Lenses and Sensors6:34:44 Crooked Horizons6:36:44 Poor Battery Life6:40:00 Running out of memory card space6:40:49 Troubleshooting Flash Battery Life6:45:00 Troubleshooting Flash Sync Problems6:49:02 Troubleshooting Lens Flare6:50:05 Summary
