Great tips for anybody just starting it with a DSLR camera. All the features can be overwhelming!
I’m a mom with a camera 🙋🏻♀️! I have an old DSLR Canon EOS. They don’t even make the model anymore... I just can’t invest in my dream camera at the moment. I have a question. When I take photos inside they often come out orange tinted. Do you have any insight? It’s been a while since I took a photography course (in person) I do watch classes on Creative Love though. It’s hard to find the balance.
Yes! Great question. You have two options. You can change the white balance (should be a setting on your camera), or you may have to eventually get some editing software (I have had lightroom for about 8 years now and only paid ~$100 for it) and you can change the tint there. Hope that helps!
This is so helpful! I just use my phone but will definitely come back if I get a real camera 🙂
Great tips for those just starting out.
This is a post worth saving. Great information on common photography terms like aperture.
Oh my gosh, thank you so much for this! It's exactly what I needed and I'm still on the edge of buying a camera and really going for it! 💚
Cool tutorial! I need to share your post with my Wife !
Omg! Thank you so much! I need to enhance my photography skills.
Useful tutorial would keep at the back of my mind when I get my camera.Good job.
It always amazes me how people think they can just buy a DSLR and think it will improve their photos. They really are complex machines that need an owner to train and learn their functions. These are some great video tutorials thanks for creating them.
This comment is so true! When I bought my camera I was ready to do some serious research, but I know so many people who tried snapping a few pictures, then returned their camera instantly!!
Thanks a lot for your informative video 🌺❤️
These are great tips for people just starting out. Easy to follow and extremely informative.
Oh my gosh! This was so, so helpful! You made things so clear and easy to follow. I have watched some other video tutorials and I get so confused. I am so grateful to you for this!
One reason why I haven't bought a DSLR because it takes practice and it is not as simple as just taking photos. I need to know little details and important functions like shutter speed, aperture and iso. I didn't even know those stuff. Thanks for these easy-to-understand tutorial.
Great. It was like having a review class. Thank you for sharing. 🙂
