Focal Length Explained! Why does it MATTER?

I don't even have a camera. But I watch this channel regularly. Quality content.

Same here man
Broke people😂

[@Jakiyyyyy]

Haha start with the Fujifilm if you're looking for your first camera.

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

@@Jakiyyyyy bruh fuji sucks tbh...canon beginner cams are the best to start off with...atleast thats what i know

[@Jakiyyyyy]

@@ISRAADVISUALS Why? Have you ever tried them?

[@ISRAADVISUALS]

@@Jakiyyyyy i did
Fuji is really good with thier high end cameras which are expensive..but they suck at beginner level..

My first video of 2020 uploaded in my new year resolution (4k)
Edit1: I've said you get 'More' depth of field when you zoom in but I actually meant 'more blur' which is technically 'less' depth of field.

[@karanshah3419]

good one lol

[@mohitmaraskolhe3760]

Hey saurav i have to buy a camera under 40k.... Which one should I choose

[@vijayendirangiridharan6113]

Its resolution right!
But i don't have a 4k display!! Lol

[@LuminousBasumatary]

Bro, where did u learn the basics of Photography in your initial days ???

[@aparunan]

When u say increase of focal length decreases the Depth of Field, is it actually focal length or EFL

[@ianhall7513]

I'm trying to understand the results of pushing vanishing points to different extremes in drawing and I found this somewhat helpful. Understanding compression as a result of how close vanishing points are to one another will help me when setting up vanishing points to start and plan a piece.

[@utopiadweller]

1:15 sensor with or without crop 1:50 small number of focal length = wider perspective ... 15mm = wider perspective than 200 mm... 2:30 compression ... 3:30 depth of field 4:15 zooming in vs moving closer physically to the subject ... 5:20 portrait ...

[@iamakkkshay]

No one told me that Nikon has 1.5 crop factor and Cannon has 1.6 . Thank you for sharing.

[@Ishijah1]

What about Fujifilm?

[@ShayanKhanbazzinga]

@@Ishijah1 1.5

[@Jakiyyyyy]

1.6 crop factor does it means the sensor size on Canon is smaller than Nikon?

[@HarshvardhanSaboo]

Their Crop body camera has this crop factor. full frame body doesn’t have this kind of impact.

Your videos have literally taught me everything I know about photography, and I have improved so much since I found your channel.
Is there any way you could make a video on shooting dark subjects in dark locations? I have a black Labrador and I want photos in the forest and I cannot afford other light sources but ISO and the sun itself

[@vsboardza]

He already has a video on it

@@vsboardza yes, but it's based on still objects and I need a fast shutter speed because I'm shooting an animal

[@HarshvardhanSaboo]

Marie Klüver-Kristensen Just use higher ISO in night for now or external flash.

@@HarshvardhanSaboo higher ISO makes the photo grainy to a point where it cannot be saved

[@HarshvardhanSaboo]

@ You r absolutely right that's why I suggested alternate source of light.
Ideally no matter what you do photography needs lighting.. I'm a professional photographer.
If lighting isn't there camera will require higher ISO, I'm afraid no other option is there.
Or you speedlight with your camera, the response I have seen is amazing if you know how to go bounce flashlight the output will be like you have not used Flashlight at all.

[@moecooper3037]

This video is entirely excellent. Everything from the pacing of your speech, to the amount of examples you use, are perfect. Keep up the incredible work & I’ll definitely be coming back to this channel if I have any Photography questions.

[@Jakiyyyyy]

I use 50mm on APSC and it has a 75mm equivalent and I use it literally for almost shots, portrait, street, and I love it!

[@letterjtv418]

i used a6000 sony, i cant use crop when it comes to Raw files. im a right?

Hi Saurav, that was the best explanation i have seen in a very long time! You have a very good way about you which is excellent. Keep up the great videos and as it's November 15th 2020 today you're probably in the middle of Dihwalli, enjoy!

[@bluerootentertainment2410]

You should be getting paid to teach! Even with your accent (I’m in the US) you made this as clear and simplified as you possibly could in 6 minutes! Great work!

[@michael.K.G]

Now this is what we call a perfect explanation. I've always struggled with focal length and learned about it but this made it perfectly clear.

[@nanan_hello]

Thanks this really helps a lot. I am trying to get into microstock and learning this really helps, as well as the math at the beginning. It made me happy to hear that you are a landscape photographer and that you use a higher focal length because I currently only have one lens (prime, 35mm, but my camera is 2x crop factor, so 70mm). Thanks again.

[@mariacruza756]

Omg! Thank you so much for this video! Focal length makes so much more sense now💗

[@virgilwardmedia]

Extremely informative and concise! Thanks a ton man!

[@EasyExplanations]

Hi! Dear nice video. Just want to modify one thing that when we use 200 mm we won’t get more depth of field but that is called shallow depth of field.yeah thats true that we’ll get more blurr but that is called shallow depth of field.More or Deep depth of field is when we use a wider lens or increase the f-Stop.

[@frankyfarset]

This brief yet extremely informative and digestible video just earned You a subscriber. Awesome job!

[@merkin22]

Thanks for the video. You might want to mention, as well, what compression can do to human facial features; so the need for checking on that re distance from your subject when using various focal length lenses for portraits so you don't distort people's faces (however subtle, or not, that distortion can be).

[@pilotjm817]

Wow! I'm not even a photographer but I watched the whole video. This was great! Well done.

[@siddhu14]

Hi Saurav, you mentioned "more depth of field at higher focal length" couple of times in the video which is actually the other way. We actually get a less or shallower depth as focal length increases. May be I think you were about to mean 'more shallow depth effect or more background blur'. Please add a comment in the video to help people understand it clearer. Thank you 😊

[@sauravus]

Yes I agree. My bad.

[@kaushikkatari79]

Exactly so, I also stumbled on that part

[@satyabratadas636]

Hi, good one ! A small correction needed.. @03:40 - when u say more zoom, more depth of field. It is the opposite actually. More zoom causes less/shallow dof, more blurr. Thanks!

Because the entire video and picture gets magnified and larger and wider it brings the entire video or image closer

[@rayt2905]

As a landscape photographer, how do you cut the 'haze' that you typically see in the Indian context? e.g. We went to Mahabaleshwar, and in bright afternoon, all my landscape shots were rendered useless due to the haze throughout the area.

"Edit1: I've said you get 'More' depth of field when you zoom in but I actually meant 'more blur' which is technically 'less' depth of field."...Yes, big mistake. Since this is otherwise a FANTASTIC video, perhaps add the correction within the video, if possible???

[@GURUKHAN_OG]

Appreciate your video and efforts! 100% marks on it.
But one correction, when you increase the focal length/zoom in , the distance between 2 subjects increases as you are getting into the finer details and your scope narrows.

[@ranjitkadam8114]

at 0.30 may be some issue in focal length explanation .... it is the distance between the center of a lens and its focus.

Very well done video. You explain things clearly with no useless stuff. Keep making videos this way. I don't like the ones with long introductions and full of foolish jargon. Thank you for the information. I knew what focal length was but you gave me a new perspective. I usually think of depth if field as a function of aperture only.
