Thanks Scott, you did a great job explaining the subject. I am new to photography and there is a lot to learn. You explained this with just enough detail to get me to want to go out and experiment, with a basic understanding of what the changes I make are doing. Thanks again for the video!
I came to this directly from your first video about Aperture. This is absolutely brilliant. Now I understand why images are sometimes sharper by dropping down an f/ value from the maximum. Thank you. 🙏🏻
You explained this very well. Your animations were very good. I am marking this video so when people ask me how aperture affects DoF, I will just send them a link to this video. For me, I like to get as much of the bird in focus as possible, so I shoot at f/9 fairly often with my 800mm and I don't get as creamy of background. That is what I like. I appreciate your images and think they are great. If we all took the same images there wouldn't be a reason for all of us to be doing this.
This was easy to understand and the graphics were fine! I’m hoping to get an R7ii crop camera later this year. It dawned on me recently that using a crop camera will mean increased shutter speeds I’m now wondering about what a crop camera might mean to aperture settings and depth of field! Thoughts?
Crop shouldn't mean higher shutter speeds. It can get tricky but in its simplest terms it just means you have a smaller sensor to deal with and less ability to from a full frame but there's many variable usually around pixel pitch(density) and overall resolution.
@ my understanding is that things that appear closer will move across the field of view at a faster rate, therefore faster shutter needed. Like a car driving down the street with a wide angle lens would appear to move slower across the “field of view” slower, but a car moving across the effective focal length of 750 mm, would move across the “field of view” quicker…..But the concept being the focal length or effective focal length would affect the shutter speed needed. I don’t own a long prime, so this is conjecture..I may be looking at this wrong, as I’m fairly new..
What about defraction? I try not to shoot much over F-11 as a lot lenses tend to get softer above F-11 do to defraction the rest of your video is excellent as usual
I'm sure these are your worst performing videos, but they matter. Honestly very simple to understand and apply. People always ask me when they see me shooting a prime and can't believe I'm rarely if ever shooting wide open...it's never the sweet spot, it's rarely the best aperture for anything. Just get a point and shoot if you just want to do simple things, but if you want to be a photographer of quality, understand these basics.

Brother, you did a great job with this. Keep up the good work and keep the videos coming.

Your diagrams were perfect!

Thanks so much!
Amazing video. Appreciate all of the hard work that went into creating this content.
Good video! The charts and animations are well done and do a good job to visually explain the concepts.

Agree. We all have different tastes and that's okay. And they also evolve over time.
Pretty dang good for not being in your wheelhouse. Thanks for sharing.

dedicated video coming! Im doing some real life examples and illustrations
