Summary of "photography BASICS in 10 MINUTES"

The video aims to teach the fundamentals of photography in a concise manner, emphasizing that a small amount of effort can yield significant results. The speaker introduces the Pareto Principle, which states that 80% of results come from 20% of the effort, and applies this concept to learning photography.

Main Ideas and Concepts:

Pareto Principle: Achieving 80% of photography results with 20% of the effort.
Learning Approach: Simplifying complex topics to build a solid foundational understanding before diving into more complex aspects.
ISO (International Standards Organization):
- Definition: ISO measures the sensitivity of a camera's sensor to light.
- Settings:
  - Higher ISO = More sensitivity to light, but increases grain/noise in images.
  - Lower ISO = Less sensitivity, resulting in cleaner images.
- Recommendation: Keep ISO as low as possible for better image quality.
- Practical Application:
  - Use ISO 100 in bright light.
  - Use ISO 200 in the shade.
  - Use ISO 400 indoors.

Methodology:

The speaker suggests a practical approach to understanding ISO by conducting test shoots with varying ISO settings (100, 200, 400, 800, 1600, 3200, 6400, 12,800, and 25,600). Emphasizes that the quality of the camera affects the maximum usable ISO before images become too grainy.
