good photographers all know how to use the basic fundamental principles of
0:04 photography to take a good image with any
camera all DSLR's 0:07
they all have a manual mode and that is what I'm gonna be showing you how to use
0:11 in this course
0:12 to create artistic images so if you have a
DSLR in your house right now 0:17
I don't care what it is or what it's called I'm gonna show you how to use it
0:21 to create
0:21 really artistic images these pictures that
you're seeing right here 0:24
all these pictures were made with the Nikon d50 camera which
0:28 if you don't know what have a camera that
is it's the first basic 0:31
entry level DSLR that Nikon released back in 2005
0:35 now because they don't make this best cheap
digital camera anymore you can actually get this one used
0:38 for 230 bucks on ebay
0:40 as well I found recently or you get a and
your camera 0:43
and it would still have it be the most basic best cheap camera entry level model
0:46 and still be able to take cool pictures just
like we're seeing right here 0:50
fact let me show you a little trick that you can use with any camera
0:53 right off the bat see the little things this
is shutter speed 0:57
if you raise that number to make it longer whenever you take a picture now
1:00 your camera will be on for several seconds
taking 1:04
a picture for that amount of time now this is really cool because what you can
1:08 do is take a light
1:09 and move it around the frame and you can actually
record like trails with that 1:13
and people if you've heard this technique before it's called light
1:16 painting but most people think that
1:18 oh I just I'm idea I just wave a flashlight
around and then it's done 1:22
well actually it's a whole art form in and of itself because
1:25 there are dozens up different types have lights
that you can use in light painting 1:30
and all of them have a specific use you have to know how to move the lights in
that I'm going to be showing you 1:40
and info.
