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!
I just reached here by chance, maybe thanks to RUclips algorithms, but tell you what. This video is treasure for someone who’s just beginning to learn to photography ! Can’t thank you enough for this video. This is pure gold ! ✨
100's of videos and sites over the internet and only explains what the aperture does.. this is the only video that explains how the aperture works !!! BRILLIANT !!! Thanks a ton !!
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!
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.
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.
Before I watched this video, I had a very basic understanding of DoF but I now have a much more fuller understanding because I know HOW this all works. Thank you so much!
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.
"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.
First time on this channel, Im a newbie just got my 1st fujicam few weeks ago. Of all the videos I have watch this video nailed all the those lengthy tutorial videos. Its like by watching this I have watch everything. Glad that I have found this channel. Thanks alot 🎉
I've watching tons of video of f-stop, aperture, focal length and dof but still wonder how f number literally affect dof. Until I watch this video. Everything is crystal clear now. Thanks so much sir.
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
Thank you, thank you, thank you! Finally, I found the video that would explain how the depth of field / sharpness changes when you get closer eventho you have a certain f stop.
I'm currently helping someone get into the world of photography and straight away after watching this video nearly a year ago, I knew I had to find it and share it with them. This video helped me so much!!
I’m sharing this with a bunch of young photographers. Great foundational concepts with digestible teaching… basically super simple and easy to follow and understand. Great Job Teacher!
Thank you. Not too many people cover the DOF widening the further back you are from your subject. This is exactly what I was looking for and the reason for my low F-stop portraits being blurry.
The toothpaste analogy was the perfect way to explain DOF. 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.
This is so helpful! I’ve always just felt that I need to just memorize the right settings to use for what I wanted and I struggle to remember everything. Now that I understand what is happening, I can reason my way though each situation!!
Thank you so much for these videos, understanding the physics involved is a much more intuitive way to understand these different settings. The scales seem so arbitrary, but I understand it so much more now.
great video and explanation, actually the best I've seen on you tube. also, a moderate paced, pleasant voice which is important to me. I am saving the tutorial and subscribing. thanks
The best explanation i have ever seen.. great job.. usually seen others explaining only about DOF with respect to focus distance.. first time seeing related to camera lens and focal length and reason why the DOF varies.
I was too confused thinking a large aperture always takes in lots of light and why it's not covering larger area(dof) on film.....now i completely understand the whole logic. Really a great explanation 👍
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!
I've been doing photography for over 15 years now, and this is the best explanation of DOF I've ever seen.
I just reached here by chance, maybe thanks to RUclips algorithms, but tell you what. This video is treasure for someone who’s just beginning to learn to photography !
Can’t thank you enough for this video. This is pure gold ! ✨
One of the best videos i've ever seen in my life. Tnx a lot
true
If you are looking for nerdy mathematical explanation, you are at right place.
Thanks a lot Dylan .
This explains every single question I had about depth of field. Thank you so much.
Exactly! Wow!
out of more than 20 videos I've followed so far this is the best explanation clear off all my doubts.thanks!
SAW THIS VIDEO APPROXIMATELY 3 YEARS AGO. ONE OF THE BEST AT EXPLANATIONS
100's of videos and sites over the internet and only explains what the aperture does.. this is the only video that explains how the aperture works !!! BRILLIANT !!! Thanks a ton !!
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!
Excellent, excellent video. I was about to sleep but this kept me awake the whole 16 minutes and an extra hour to think about it. Thank you.
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.
Had to set my video work to the side for last 2years. Coming back I needed to review and found your videos...Great instruction.
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.
That toothpaste analogy was simply- fantastic! DoF concept is now cemented!
Great video. Your the first place I found that explained WHY less light leads to more in focus. Cheers
Underrated tutorial which should be inculded in the text books.
Best presentation on DOF on RUclips or any course I've done. Now I truly understand. Big THANKS Dylan.
This is the best explanation of how DOF actually works that I've EVER SEEN. Thank you :)
Dude this video is more than 8 years old and it's one of the best explanations that actually stuck with me. Thank you!
This is the clearest explanation of anything ever
This was so perfectly explained. I understood that it worked, but now I understand WHY it works. Bravo!
This is the only video you need to understand how DOF and Hyperfocus works.
Before I watched this video, I had a very basic understanding of DoF but I now have a much more fuller understanding because I know HOW this all works. Thank you so much!
You are ophtometrist?
Sir, there is no better explanation than yours! Thank you verymuch! Awesome! You really are a teacher.
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.

Thanks so much. I wanted to understand why a larger aperture means a narrower DOF. Very clearly explained.
thanks, dylan, for the video. it's been very helpful - clear and to the point.
Brilliant and a very good Summary..Thanks for your efforts.
Not sure what idiots gave a thumbs down. This is an excellent presentation.
Great job explaining this. I really appreciated it
