    If kids are running around and you take that picture at 1/125 you'll get motion blurry/blurry picture. Higher ISO gives you faster shutter speed to freeze the action.

    Sure you can. In fact you can be better. It's a process. It takes time but if you follow my old tutorials and new ones you'll catch up and in no time you'll see huge improvement. Add your own twist to these pictures you're good to go.

    Thank you much! Yes, it was a mistake. It's 1/250, not 1250. I just fixed it in annotation. Thanks for pointing it out.

  9. You are doing a great job Gibran. Being a good photographer is one thing but being able to successfully inspire and train others is quite another. You are good at both.
    Question: in the pic with the boys back to back, you've mentioned the shutter speed as 1/1250. Didn't you mean 1/250?
    Thanks for clarifying.

    I use AFS every single time when I'm doing any portrait. That's the only correct choice. I use AFA ONLY when I photograph people dancing and I do a over head shot where I cannot see anything in the view finder. But in this case, it will always be AFS. Boy was moving but I took the picture when I he stopped for a second. If he were running then I wanted a picture of him running then I may have tried AFC but my timing is pretty good so 99% of the times I can easily use AFS

  11. Thank you for your videos, you do a great job at explaining. I have a question about the family shoot that you show in this video. What focus mode did you shoot in when you were shooting the two boys together? If you use AF- S where do you put the focal point? If you did not shoot in AF-S did you shoot in AF-C because the little boy was moving around a lot? Thanks for your help.

  12. Thanks for the video really helped!! What do you think of the sigma 70-200 2.8 for portraits? Also any tips for shooting family photos with a Nikon D7000 and Nikon 18-105mm f/3.5-5.6

    Sigma is not bad but 200mm is a lot specially on a crop sensor which means you'll need fast shutter speed to eliminate camera shake. If can manage a prime lens then get 85 1.8 for portraits IF you're shooting from distance. Prime lens will give you great quality.

    It's called a diffuser. It blocks the harsh sunlight hitting the face. It eliminates the shadows and gives you much softer sunlight.

  18. One more great video from you. You mentioned 50mm 1.8 and 85mm 1.8. Nikkor lenses?

    Thank you much. I think the sound is great everywhere. People just need to move their ass and increase the volume if they're using an outdated system. If someone was giving away free diamonds to a bunch of people, someone will bitch about getting the small piece. That's how our world is. People are never happy even when they get stuff for free. I do this for those who appreciate and want to learn so Thank You! :)

  23. I don't understand how any one is having problems with the sound. My laptop's volume is at 22% and I can hear every word said by the kids, the parents and by Jibran. I have Youtube's volume at less than 50%.
    Great video Jibran! A lot of fun too. :)

  25. It's no problem. The audio is just low, it's not like it's monotone or not audible. It's just low, so I turn up the volume :P

    Keep up the good work, don't worry about it too much just threw my 2cents in.
