    The last bit about “using depth as a compositional crutch” damn....I’m gonna really try and remember that. Thank you.
    Great video.

    Awesome video.
    Keep that shutter speed higher for sharp images too. If you have to stop down, and hold a higher shutter speed (1/250 + etc) then just let the ISO go a little higher. It’s fine. It’s better to have a sharp image at a higher ISO than a blurry image at ISO 100... 👍

    • @dansteinbok7955
      @dansteinbok7955 3 года назад +10

      You can also underexpose and recover in post to keep the ISO from adding too much noise when you have a great shutter speed. You can't deliver noisy photos.

    • @Seitenwerk
      @Seitenwerk 3 года назад +15

      @@dansteinbok7955 But be careful as underexposing will lead to noise even in ISO 100. I have seen that a lot recently even with a well exposed image. I would not recommend underexposing for that reason.
      I saw a video of a landscape photographer recently who said he will tend to overexposed instead of underexposed contradictory of what you might hear often. The reason is that highlights can be easier restored than people think while shadows tend to show noise which may not be recovered without loosing a lot of details and quality.

    • @wesjones6370
      @wesjones6370 2 года назад +2

      @@Seitenwerk I've found that also. I think a lot of these tips get taken as gospel for all systems, but it really comes down to the camera. With my Sony, I know that I can recover highlights much easier than bring back shadows. I used to underexpose as per the advice when starting out....I've found that actually doesn't help at all. I'd rather have an even level of grain in the image than just noisy shadows too...and as for being able to bring up exposure in post to avoid noise, you can also use the same tools to reduce noise. So it really comes down to one's tools, and their expertise with them.

    Thank you. Finally - a You Tube video that gets to the point and provides top quality information. I also agree with Wild Bill and set my minimum shutter speed to 125 when shooting Av. A bit of noise is way easier to deal with than a blurred image

    One of the best focusing videos in youtube. I made so many shooting too close to the subject mistakes to count.

  • @fathampeak
    @fathampeak 2 года назад

    Thank you for another great video, your techniques and tips are brilliant! I learnt the hard way that focus is not always accurate-I shot a wedding where many of the photos were slightly out of focus. The camera was near new second hand 5DIV. When I sent it away for repair, they found the Auto Focus Sensors were dirty. Now it locks on to subject very well, even using through the lens focusing. I know Mirrorless AF would be better, but I'm a long way from affording that! It's easy to test each lens at all apertures in 1/3 stop increments by using a tripod and then assessing at 100% on the computer. I know the safest wide aperture for all my lenses, it helps to reduce chance of soft images. Thanks again, your content is very helpful.

  • @NorCal-yeti
    @NorCal-yeti 3 года назад +3

    Thanks Pi I think I might be addicted to wide open right now so what you said at the end about “ Don’t let depth become a crutch for you compositionally” I am pretty guilty of that lol.

  • @eliaspap8708
    @eliaspap8708 2 года назад +1

    Good point. Focus is always your nemesis, im always pushing the limits with shallow depth vs Sharpness but even more importantly is the lighting on the faces. Especially in deep shade or in these tree bush environments, sometimes depends which way the light is coming in, its not always flattering and a big reflector is really handy especially for those closeups. another option is sometimes i bring in an off camera flash with a softener to help with contrasty natural light.

  • @marieschaller4560
    @marieschaller4560 5 месяцев назад

    @dominicsanders2406 3 года назад +2

    A movie comes to mind while watching this, The Wedding Singer. There's a scene in there where Adam Sandler's character screams "Something I've should have been told yesterday". Or in my case three weeks ago for an event shoot(my first and non paid) where I shot everything wide open. Images came out ok and the client was satisfied. But I should have known. Chalk it up to being nervous.

    @JudieneHelmsley Год назад

    I find this video very useful. I learned something new today about the distance that could affect how deep the DOF would be. I consider myself new to photography, bought my sony a6400 early this year hoping to can make side pocket out of it. Thank you.
    P/S: Your voice is so soothing. It's like I'm listening to a midnight show on a radio while driving in a cold night.

    I think this is the first one I've seen (and I've watched a lot) that doesn't just parrot the same things like aperture and shutter speed. Sure, you have to address these, but you also expanded on other factors that will affect the picture.

    Needed this for today, been struggling with sharpness and I've just completely ignored Focus thinking the camera can do it adequately (I am an intermediate/expert user, but still very much learning and beginner when it comes to portraits and groups). Huge huge learning curve coming from my favorites of product and landscapes. Your photos are absolutely stunning btw.

    • @willparsons32
      @willparsons32 2 года назад

      Listening to you really makes me take a second look at my Sigma 35mm ART lens.
      So if I may ask, shooting anything that moves Beit a duck or a bride, it's strongly suggested that I not shoot in 1.4 but instead, try f/2 or above?
      Shooting landscape should be the only thing I shoot below 1.8 or wide open!!
