@davefk Yes. You can see a complete explanation (and demo) in Episode 17.
Would I be right to say that at 1/20 sec it is the flash that is freezing the subject because at that shutter speed the subject should be a bit blurred?
One of the best tutorials ever made on photography.
technical terms are made simple…..cheers
Thanks for the video!
Great Video but……1/2 sec f18 omg :S:S
Mark first of all thank you for the great videos and training! I was wondering by the way are you related to Grand master Bill Wallace the golden foot of martial arts in the seventies and eighties and nineties by any chance? Thank you
omg! shutter works in that way!! i thought first curtain always expose whole sensor and second curtain close, a mechanism that baffles me why sync speed must slower than 1/250 second
after watching this video, it all make sense!!! it all make sense!!! i finally figured it out!!!
Awesome awesome awesome instructional!!!
Good Stuff Mark Wallace!

Well done, include easy to understand explanations and usefull information, thanks.
thank you so much ….
Great explanation…. I hope there will be no issue if I embed this video on my photography portal myhobbyphotography(dot)com
Thanks
Mark your quality is to explain hard things in easy way. I liked ur videos and thanks for all these videos.
What is ISO???
I’m an amateur in a camera club and you explained it better than they did. Thanks. We slowed down the shutter while cars went by and got a cool effect with the head/tail lights. When you slowed the shutter to get the detail in the background, did you still use the flash or were you using just the lighting or both?
Thanks Man your great! i learn some tips from you! keep it up Brother
Thanks Mark,
Wonderful Video and information.
This is good for me, a newbie.

wow..thank you very much snapfactory!!.this is the best tutorial on shutter speeds and flash usage on the net..looking forward to more videos.
Thanks Mark. I have been buying and reading tons of books but could not get what u were saying. The demo helped bring it home. I am just learning. This is my first camera. I have a Canon Powershot si10. It has a removable lens and I bought a tripod. The manual is not that great.
a tremendously enlightening video. Thanks so much for making it plain and keeping it simple.
thank you so much for this clip. I’m learning a lot.
keep it up.
Great review. Well done.
Is that a 400D @ 3:00? I have that camera and one thing that annoys we is hitting the ISO button with my nose when taking shots and switching it without knowing all the time! gah! My new 7D has me in love
I love all of the videos I have seen so far, This inspires me to pursue in getting a DSLR. Thank you so much for your tips and reviews!
just got my canon t1i, i am just a beginner and your tutorials help a lot thank you
thx for the great explaination..now i get some idea to do the night photo..:)..
can someone recommend me a brand or type of camera, i would love to take night pictures!! right now it’s just a hobby untill i go to college but i use a regular digital camera it’s a sony cybershot! :p (don’t laugh) and i just can’t have any cool night pictures i know it’s something about long exposure or something, but i’m really lost and confused. i don’t know where to research or what books to read! please heeeeeeelp…
and wow! :]
@shxxx82 Don’t worry, keep watching these great tipps and you will get the hang of the language too. Wait till you hear scottish
i dont understand this british english!
A couple of other tips, assuming your camera has these options. Set Long Exposure Noise Reduction – ON, turn on Mirror Lock Up (or, in my Nikon D90, I use the Exposure Delay Mode…either way, this is to reduce camera shake through mirror-slap). This last I do whenever I use a tripod, day or night.
@djaef OWND
@djaef I agree. Small fstop values can too narrow depth of field in. Tripod, longer exposure times, and delay timers are better solutions.
Your videos are great for a beginner, keep them coming! Thanks!
great video. All of them.
Really Helped, Thanks, Great tuts
keep em comin
if your experimenting, first choose manual mode to get full use of the camera. select a higher iso maybe 800, but dont go too high because of noise. then select maybe a f8 aperture size and play with shutter speeds. select output in jpeg so your not waiting ages to view the pictures on the camera.
@djaef But in the example shown here, that would have required a shutter speed beyond 30 seconds and therefore a cable realease and bulb mode. Remember these videos are aimed at beginners, so I try and keep it simple. But please feel free to produce a tutorial for more experienced photographers. I look forward to seeing it.
@SMSBJM1981 If you say so ( :
Telling people to simply open their aperture all the way is really bad advice. They’ll get narrow depth of field and the wrong aperture for many types of light. I’d suggest instead to start around f8 and then play with shutter speed.
@mmadk5 It is clear you do not understand the depths of your misunderstandings when it comes to cameras.
I love all your videos!
I’m still not too sure why people spend thousands of dollars on cameras…I myself have a Canon PorwerShot and get near pro shots. I’m just saying…
Wow….just….wow the manual mode is always the best for dslr!
Thanks for the tip. I will surely respect it when I will have my own dslr camera.
Very high honor and privilege to landlord’s blog, the article I was very moved.
