I mean, he really only appeals to beginners. And that these should be vigilant when viewing and recording of information.
The good zurerst Pavel Kaplun begins at the very front in the basics and explains plausible + repeatedly terms like 'aperture', 'exposure', 'ISO number', etc. He takes the audience on different locations (downtown, business, forest. ..) and declares in a calm, businesslike tone, its various settings when you want to photograph what motives. The shot of him Photos are always shown the same (with the adjusted values). At the end of photo tour it comes with Pavel to the PC, where it using Adobe products illustrates the post.
It is repeated advice to compose images, and the shot of him Photos are largely appealing photographed (though sometimes the subject is boring).
Now for the negatives: Whether Pavel then maybe unphotogenic place, or he is too comfortable to wear, but to make any photos without a tripod comes even my Spanish as a beginner before. Wide-angle and telephoto shots (even in low light conditions), Pavel shoots everything freehand. This reduces the image quality (sharpness) even when professional clear and the beginners especially and in intensified form, since this (1) not always have such a high-quality camera is like the one photographed with Pavel and (2) due to lack of Exercise will not be the same as it was clear and calm when shooting.
Even as I felt unusually Pavels procedure for bright images. He corrected the exposure on a lower exposure value instead (here: 800), the ISO speed and thus reduce the light sensitivity of the sensor. This would still be a lot more sense to avoid (especially for cheap cameras) with a high ISO number associated noise.
Not understandable is Pavels approach in focusing. It has a high quality camera with dozens focal points that he could drive without difficulty. But instead he activated (by pressing the shutter button halfway down) a M ittelpunkt focus and then moved the entire camera to the neckline of his choice. Especially at full aperture (and related shallow depth of field) can from him just yet beautifully focused motif (eg the eyes / the face of the model) and are quickly blurred. (Just because freehand the distance changes slightly when photographing the object by moving the camera; and this slight change might be too much even in terms of a sharp picture.)
As a final point of criticism might be called perhaps that Pavel assume good Photoshop knowledge the audience. Since most, yes, but only start in digital photography, they will often have no experience with the Adobe software and therefore can not easily follow his remarks might.
Conclusion: Pavel Kaplun contains basic information about digital photography, you should but not quite uncritically (and especially not as the sole information) record.
The suggested retail price I think is too high.
