  I’m so proud that I got to a stage where this all makes perfect sense 🎉

  So glad I found you as someone who doesn't want to use flash but realised I need to for event photos.  Thanks.

  I love that cranking up the ISO pass what I'm comfortable or my camera can do without too much noise + flash would definitely reduce the noise still getting that good lighting in dark situations

  I absolutely love the way you talk solid sense without the usual fluff. Everything you said clicked immediately. Thanks. Also, I like to see the light colour that's really there by setting my favourite Kelvin, rather than use WB to cheat it to a 'normal' colouring.

  The new variables is what makes this so alluring! This is the most exiting time of my life.

  It's good you told people about the default 'midtone' exposure of the flash (with no fec ). It seems not many people are aware of it. Mind you not many people are aware the camera does the same thing either...which is no surprise if they lear from other youtube videos. Your's  is one video that actually tells the truth...

  FYI - You "Open up or Close down" the Aperture of the lens and you "increase or decrease" the speed of the shutter.

  The same technique I am using for last 15 years successfully. I am doing commercial photography for last 52 years.

  Speaking as a beginner: a lot of pages describe iso, exposure, shutter speed while talking. Your video was affective and informing, but Ive yet to see a video where they talk about these subjects while filming the camera its self. Even if you have a different camera, that visual representation could still help people digest the information better.

  VERY nice tutorial. I've been taking pictures of evening/night events at f2, 1/125, IS0 320-400 for the same reason. People always enjoy how the background and the venue's warm golden light etc. show up nicely in the picture, instead of just dark black. Because I don't like high ISO noise, I use the above fixed setting most of the time, and let the flash fills in. I realize I am using more flash light this way but in general I've found the depth and atmosphere of the room are still very nicely captured.
