    By far the best video about this subject on YT. Your diagrams make everything so clear and explain not only the WHAT and HOW but the WHY. So crucial to a proper understanding for beginners. Great job!

    Hands down the best explanation of these concepts, i understood all of them in some capacity but was missing the real grasp on the entire subject matter. Your video brought it all home instantly and very clearly. Thanks!

    This is the best visual explanation of how qualitatively DoF relates to focal length, distance to the subject, and aperture.

    I'm a photo newbie, and have been struggling with all of this. Your explanation nailed it!! Thank you so much. Your diagrams, and simple explanations drove the point home for me. I know this is an old video, but timeless! Thank you sir.

    @jobolitz5753 2 года назад

    I think I have watched over 100 videos on the subject of DOF, but none of them have fully (keyword: fully) driven home how DOF works. Now I finally understand how DOF works, thanks to you. Well done; great video, great explanations.

    I've been trying to understand this for a few years. This is the first time I believe I have grasped the concept. I was trying to figure out why my 35mm F2.8 didn't look the same as my 200mm F2.8. Very helpful.

  • @FactorialK
    @FactorialK 4 года назад +4

    "THE" best video I have watched on DoF. I finally understand why letting less light in (small aperture) gets more things in focus as it is little counter intuitive. Can't thank enough :). Subscribed.

    I have been a photographer for more than 70yrs and this is by far the best video tutorial on how to apply toothpaste successfully that I have ever witnessed, I also learned a great deal more about DOF values. Sometimes I have a slight problem with my tongue, it often gets stuck inside my 'Cheek", do you have a video that covers this subject,. All jokes aside your tutorial is spot on and very informative and I will definitely recommend this video to people who ask me to explain DOF. Thank you and keep up the good work about understanding the art of photography, regards John C

    I hope this youtube site explains some popular digital video/camera camera concepts like super 35 vs full frame 35...and cropping from using different lenses.
