Auto ISO is your best friend. It'll keep it as low as possible, and you just set your upper limit. Mine is at 16OO max on a D7100, so I know I won't shoot higher than 1600, and if it's bright enough, I'll get 100.

It is a smashing one of a kind guide for creating stunning photos in minutes without the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cooworker at last got excellent results with it.

There you go: a brilliant photographer. Earned his degrees and all that. Making absolutely stunning artwork and then says: practice! Of all the videos I see on YT, there are 99.9% discarding that fact. While it is as true as simple that without practice, you don't gain experience, a lot of people these days think the camera makes the picture, Bob (Mister Holmes) points it out. It gives you confidence and that is translated into the photos. Thanks on separating the chaff from the corn. Love.

Bob Holmes is one of my favorite photographers. His quality of his work is consistently high. The images he produces makes you think he has somehow captured the essence or sole from what is in front of him, and always seems to have the perfect shot lined up right in front of his lens. Stunning images. Wish i could get even close.

Once again a great interview!! One tip I can give you, is to adjust your settings as light changes around you *before* you shoot. So let's say you're moving from point A to point B, you adjust your settings looking at the light changing around you before you arrive at the location. This tip I got from a wildlife photographer, a very old man, who used only a film camera (I believe a Leica, but who cares), a 50 and a 75mm lens - yes, for wildlife. He knew everything about the forest that he shot in, down in Compiègne, France. He always worked in that same forest. He knew exactly when and where the animals where going to show up, how to approach them etc He would always adjust his settings constantly so that when the animal came it was always right. One of the greatest photographers ever. I wish I remembered his name, but I was little - my dad probably would know it... anyway... There you have the secret. ;)

A word of advice however: in your lovely collection of interviews, make sure you get to interview Gianni Berengo Gardin, a world-famous living photographer (quite old already) who was prised highly by Cartier-Bresson among many other great photographers! He lives in Milan. Good luck with that!

Love this video. I would love to work towards a career in photography, but I am stuck as an amateur because I'm not able to afford anything more than a point and shoot. After watching this video, I am actually thankful that I have been forced to make a lot out of a little, because it's given me an instinct for photography beyond all of the complex equipment, and someday when I get a really good camera, I'll have a very different perspective than most.

I'm trying to think of the painter whose book discussed in depth the subject of natural light, how the eyes register light and brain interprets light information, and how real-world media (pigment) works to reflect light. All this taught me to practice looking at landscapes to understand where light is being bounced and what the real colors are. Because the brain is doing a lot of work translating what is really there into what we expect to be there.
