Hi im having shutter drag I’m shooting with the same camera but a 18-55 lens do you know how to stop it from doing that the lowest I can set shutter speed is 4.0
I just found your site I am buying a T7I – I have had cameras over the years just point and shoots. Now I have a grandson I want to be able to take portraits instead of paying the $$ to someone else. I am so hoping this camera works for me when I get it. He's all over the place so point and shoot doesn't work very well or it could be me. Lot of great information here Thanks for Sharing.
Thank you. Beautiful video
I like how you keep it simple and your daughter is lovely kid 🧒
You got a new sub
I am so very thankful for your instructive vidoes — thank you — unfortunately, your camera has several different tabs and I am not able to keep up — I appreciate your help, but need help. Thank you
Thank you for teaching us! She is so lucky to have you. I wish my dad was someone like you
Great video as always.. Does that 50mm lense have a crop factor, being that the t7i is an apsc sensor camera?
Hi sir which one is the best camera in canon 5d mark 4, 6d ,7d ,rebel t7i
She made me laugh . Great kid
My camera will not go below F4.5 I have the same camera. What am I doing wrong?
Thanks Aaron your the best!
Which should I buy first 40mm or 50mm for my t7i?
I love your videos. I always learn something new. Thank you for using the t7i for this tutorial. That's the camera I have. I think it's a good idea to show people that we don't have to spend a lot of money on backgrounds,lighting and equipment to get good results. We can be inventive with what we have. Your daughter is adorable. I can tell she is used to being your model.
Very Nice. Beautiful Lovely Daughter.
Does the same setting apply outdoor portraits with t7i? What white balance should I choose in daylight?
Exactly the type of video I was looking for! Thanks so much for another awesome video, Aaron!
