Quick Photography PSA

[Captain Matt]

Hey all,

 

Every time I saw a photography video from Tek Syndicate or LTT, I loved learning about that tech! I wanted to find a resource as good as those channels for learning about photography.

Well here they are!

Shooting and camera reviews with some editing:

I recommend starting here:

 

I bought a Sony a6300 this summer and I watched a bunch of their videos before getting it. I could shoot manual on the first NIGHT I had the camera.

Starting to be paid as a photographer. It's great.

 

Here's some of my shots!

 

 

 

Happy shooting

-Matt

Nice photos, but NO to Tony Northrop.  While he does have some good materials, he also makes some faux pas.

 

If you really want resources, I have a thread for that in my sig.

It's funny I've learned photography from Tony Nodthrop videos too using a a6300

Can you point out anything in specific?

I'll look through your guides within the week. Very busy x.x

I don't remember specific ones, but some that I recall were about crop factor and equivalent exposure issues.  I don't tend to watch videos of people I don't follow.

Ahh yes!

I remember early on seeing him rant a little about those topics.

That being said, could I ask you, as a photography professional, to please link me to a video you approve of discussing those aspects of cameras?

I don't remember any specific channels or videos that talk about those topics, perhaps Karl Taylor.  Most of the resources I list focus on the creative aspect of the craft and not the "tech geek" aspect.

I have been watching videos from Matt granger. He's got a few videos on how use flashes and budget gear to get great portraits.

BUMP:

On a lens with no infinity marker, how can I focus AT infinity as opposed to BEYOND infinity?

The lens doesn't have any indicator or a hard stop?  Not even any sort of focusing distance indicator?

Well if it's a lens capable of autofocus, just focus on a very distant point in the scene.  Most lenses go into infinity focusing distance for objects a couple of km away.
