I like how Tony Northrup refuses to acknowledge Camera Conspiracies. Ignores it in comments. Never mentions it in videos (when talking about other camera channels). Toneh is serious business.
Legend has it that if you shoot 3 videos in a row at above f/2.8, Tony will appear as a blurry apparition in your mirror and suck you into his out of focus world.
As someone suffering myopia since childhood, I have had to deal with Toneh without my corrective lenses. While some choose to fight the blurry background in their lives, in my latter years I have come to embrace it. Thanks to smartphone technology I can watch videos without my glasses and everything beyond my arm's reach is in glorious Toneh. Toneh is not just cinema -- it is life for the visually-challenged.
I believe Toneh to be a further reaching philosophical and artistic concept. It serves to illustrate the utmost isolation of the individual in modern society, where social media and big corporations act as catalyst of the obliteration of social communitarianism. In Tony’s famous Toneh-construct establishing video, we clearly see a contemporary human making a desperate call for help, much like we already saw in other masterpieces such as ‘the scream’ by Edvard munch or any of Edward Hopper’s works on the theme. Tony will pass to history as one of the seminal figures of american neo expresionism and philosophical solipsism. What a time to be alive
He did not know? Amateur.. In all seriousness: In my experience more people watch Kasey than you realize.. And if not point them to this channel anyway.. ;)
I believe we will no more speak of image tonality, but of image “tonehlity”, a much better construct to describe image fidelity and subjective disgustability. Please someone start writing papers on this.

At This Point Your Videos are a Spiritual Experience for me. The humor it’s just Out if This World. You can be an actor a Comedian. Bro Thank You for Being You!
I remember the video that started it all and it’s still your most funniest video to date. (Famous line: “why did u bring us to the lake and hide it” LMFAOOOO 😭😭😂😂😂😂
@@dirtymusicassette It was about the EOS-R. Where Toneh spends the whole time saying "We don't need 4K" probably because the EOS-R can only do 4K in a Micro four thirds crop. And talking about how cinematic the image was. He walked towards the camera until he was just a talking head shot with canon's autofocus struggeling to keep his left eyebrow in focus, on a full frame camera with a 50mm lens fully open at Toneh1.2 at a lake. Probably one of the most painful things to watch. For anyone wondering, Movies are most of the time done at 2.8(some stop down to 4 or even 8) on an APS-C sized sensor.
Hollywood should pick him up to star in quirky indie movies or even to play quirky side characters in blockbusters. Why not a hacker in the matrix or jurassic park series.
Yeah, just like the Mona Lisa, painted just over 500 years ago, yes, with a blurry background, has people questioning why the hell da Vinci did that......
@@mavfan1 Well the Mona Lisa has multiple layers of disgusting lacquer and dirt on it so will never look that sharp. As they will never clean it, we'll never know.
@@mavfan1 The immediate background is sharp but has not much detail. The distant background is basically impressionistic, as if obscured by haze or something like that. Toneh level 1 on that painting.
The style of your sarcasm is so refreshing, love all your content! So glad i came across your channel. It is very insightful for all wanting to follow in your footsteps. The music fits it nicely.!
This video has most of the Kasey quintessentials: - Toneh - the music cues - boardroom meeting - ad thunder - “let’s all go to camera Canada tonight” Love you, man
Laughed a lot at this one. 😂 Despite all the humour (which I love) there is a sensible point you make about how much background blur is pleasing/appropriate for shots/videos in different scenarios. And the "blurriest is best" approach is certainly not always (or even usually) correct. Thanks 👍
Still in the Top 5 of your vids pure genius yes it's 2023 but i don't care this vid is timeless 1.8 prime, be out of focus 94% of the time, that other 17% is glory time 8-))) that was just brilliant Respect !
Finally, I understand the Toneh. I've had to endure a great deal of cognitive dissonance while watching many Camera Conspiracies videos, but no longer. Thank you.
I once woke up in the middle of the night and everything was blurry, I thought I had been sucked into the background in full Toneh! Turns out I was just sleepy and my eyes were full of goo. I was so happy to see my world in f11 once I woke up a bit and washed my face. It was a scary moment.
first few vids of urs i watched i was like hmm, its a different sense of humor im used to but theres something I really like about ya content. 30 vids later, hooked.
Northwood?? DARN all this time I had the wrong guy in mind! Heart wrenching monologue at the end. One for the history books. I almost cried several different times when it almost started to make sense. Toneh vs Bokeh. The choice, as always, is ours ❤️👍
I just love this channel, that was a great monologue, what it was about I've no idea, but great nonetheless, spooky music too... Oooooh, hell is there an owl in here, with all that Toneh going on it was hard to see through f2. Good stuff man.
The exposure triangle, “aperture, lens hood, toneh”
LOL!
I know! I've been studying the wrong principles this whole time!
I'm not too sure about the aperture...
It would be "lens hood, toheh, demon LUT"
😂😂😍
I like how Tony Northrup refuses to acknowledge Camera Conspiracies. Ignores it in comments. Never mentions it in videos (when talking about other camera channels). Toneh is serious business.
Toneh is a self absorbed d*****bag, full of himself and is getting worse!
I just want Northrup to drop a 😐 emoji once!!!
He used to post here a lot, things changed after the bully video heh
Tony used to watch this channel religiously. He posted a comment on almost every single video.
@Free Speech Toneh'ed out of existence. :(
Legend has it that if you shoot 3 videos in a row at above f/2.8, Tony will appear as a blurry apparition in your mirror and suck you into his out of focus world.
Tony who? Northup?
F8 he'll be there
🤣😂😅😆
"Toneh" is making it to all the photography channel comments. 😅
7:50 "One eye in focus, one ear out. What you can see, you lost the ability to hear, my friend."
Wise words.
He's a goddamn Zen master.
I couldn't hear this video as I was watching in F1.2
As someone suffering myopia since childhood, I have had to deal with Toneh without my corrective lenses. While some choose to fight the blurry background in their lives, in my latter years I have come to embrace it. Thanks to smartphone technology I can watch videos without my glasses and everything beyond my arm's reach is in glorious Toneh. Toneh is not just cinema -- it is life for the visually-challenged.
🤗 thanks for sharing
Underrated comment.
Absolutely! 🤝
This was brilliant in so many ways - science, mystery, comedy, and character assassination. Loved it!!!

Man, that's deep
LOOOOOOSER

Wow that was incredibly deep and absurdly shallow all at the same time. Great comment! :-)
wat? 🤯🤭
I literally caught myself saying “Toneh” to another photographer recently. I didn’t know how to explain myself.
Lol
He did not know? Amateur.. In all seriousness: In my experience more people watch Kasey than you realize.. And if not point them to this channel anyway.. ;)
Oh I knew what toneh was the first time I heard the term haha 😄
"Toneh" should be a trending word by now.
I've seen other people using it in comments all over RUclips. Dude needs to register for rights to using the term.
It totally is. I just about shot celery juice out of my nose when I heard Lee Zavitz use it.
It will be included on the next Google dictionary update.
I believe we will no more speak of image tonality, but of image “tonehlity”, a much better construct to describe image fidelity and subjective disgustability. Please someone start writing papers on this.
@@loosemoose7584 if a had celery juice in me I'd be shooting it out of every hole in ma bod😉
This is a truly educational video that should be shared with Toneh.
*Tony. Toneh is only the brand.
Please make a “Don’t Abuse the Power of Toneh” T-shirt.

He can't do this due to BBF - back button focus!

This channel is pure gold. Such a shame it doesn’t have 10x more subs
If my ears and nose are still in focus, it's not enough toneh
Dude. You are weird. In the BEST way possible. Thank you for your content. It’s a breath of fresh air.
Tony want's his Toneh back, don't shoot the messenger.
Hehe, Tony says this all the time, when he speculates based on nothing, but presents it as facts... nice reference.

If only RUclips had an award category for "Thumbnail of the Year"
once you crossed comfortable Bokeh, you're into Toneh territory. it's all mist in there. you don't want to go there unless you have monkey strength.
I remember the video that started it all and it’s still your most funniest video to date. (Famous line: “why did u bring us to the lake and hide it” LMFAOOOO 😭😭😂😂😂😂
the one with Sony A9 and the accusation of too much angry kittens in Tony videos? lol
I need the link of the Toneh episode n° Zero, please!
Search for "Tony Northrup's Bokeh Addiction Intervention" it is the best video ever.
"Tony come back to us, your loved ones are missing you but they can't find you"

“God bless America... I’m Canadian”
Best camera channel hands down
You are such a talent in what you do. SO glad i discovered your material. Never seen anything like this ever. Thanks for sharing.
Casey has brought lots of laughs and conspiracies during the pandemic.
Hollywood should pick him up to star in quirky indie movies or even to play quirky side characters in blockbusters. Why not a hacker in the matrix or jurassic park series.
500 years from now, historians will look at pics from this era and say "why the hell is 90% of the picture out of focus?"
Yeah, just like the Mona Lisa, painted just over 500 years ago, yes, with a blurry background, has people questioning why the hell da Vinci did that......
@@mavfan1 Well the Mona Lisa has multiple layers of disgusting lacquer and dirt on it so will never look that sharp. As they will never clean it, we'll never know.
It will be dubbed "The Bokeh Porn Era."

Subscribed.
Toneh addiction tears apart families.
I've been watching you for a few months and I finally decided to look up what TONEH meant. Love it
A whole video of Casey just saying Toneh over and over again? We don’t deserve this kind of blessing
hadnt come across this channel before but i am now learned in the ways of toneh-fu and i aint mad about it.
Its long when you discover the ways of toneh, but simply that you do.
Travel on young grasshopper
this dude is a national treasure, canadian, but a treasure nonetheless
The style of your sarcasm is so refreshing, love all your content! So glad i came across your channel. It is very insightful for all wanting to follow in your footsteps. The music fits it nicely.!
the swapping of focus between your eyes in the "boardmeeting" hahahah this is awesome lol
Toneh is a highly addictive drug. Once you experience it a few times, you get sucked into its bluriness forever.
This video has most of the Kasey quintessentials:
- Toneh
- the music cues
- boardroom meeting
- ad thunder
- “let’s all go to camera Canada tonight”
Love you, man
“Inside a house with too many windows.” 😂

yep. and the issue is made worse by Tonehman insisting on using lenses that focus breath a lot, causing headaches when he moves.
@@chcomes well, do as i do, stop watching him
Aperture, lens hood, toneh - the holy trinity
@8:34 "in a Tony Northwood-like fashion." 😂Subtle. Very subtle.
Casey that was f' ing gold! the cinematic board room was legit cinema!
Still in the Top 5 of your vids pure genius yes it's 2023 but i don't care this vid is timeless 1.8 prime, be out of focus 94% of the time, that other 17% is glory time 8-))) that was just brilliant Respect !
Just love your content! And the invention of Toneh should go into photography history.
This is GLORIOUS! I laughed so hard that I almost peed my pants. You have a brilliant comedic mind!
All other channels talk about "Toneh" which brings me to this video... u have a unique personality. its entertaining 🙅♀️
"What you can see, you lost the ability to hear ..." I love that line! LOL
A video about Toneh with a board room meeting? It is too much for my smile to bear.
Finally, I understand the Toneh. I've had to endure a great deal of cognitive dissonance while watching many Camera Conspiracies videos, but no longer. Thank you.
I’m here for this. Great stuff! Gotta look at the Toneh shirts now
"Fundamentals of photography: aperture, lens hood and Toney!" just brilliant 👏
This is soo funny! I love this guys delivery.
From the *Book of Toneh* : Chapter 1, verse 1....
😂 This has quickly become my new favourite channel!
LOL! 😂 I love my Soneh 35mm Toneh 1.8 and my blurry background that is so cinematic! Love your comedy vids, VP.
This is the first time I've actually laughed out loud in... Forever? During a RUclips video.
Thanks!
There's another photographic term called "chelseh". It's when the subject looks better than the toneh.
This comment made me laugh as much as this video. Both are brilliant. Thanks for the laughs guys.
@@alexnrs8700 Chelseh is the Click Bait we never get tired of seeing.
😂😂
I have to add (on watching for a second time): your "One toneh to rule them all!" Love it.
One of your best videos of all timeh!
I still come back to this video. It's genius.
beyond the humour, I think you actually have a valid concept, youre absolutely right this is a term which needs to become mainstream
LOL, I love the board room skit. If I could like 1000 times, I would. Great work!!!!
“I’ll film myself on a manual focus, 0.95 lens. I don’t need your help...”
Amazing.
This analysis remains the gold standard by which all other aspects of existence should be measured.
I wasn’t even exactly sure what I was watching, but I enjoyed it. A big thumbs up!
This is awesome. They need to make this video mandatory in photography school.
Always keeping me at the edge of bursting into laughter! Great style!
Yes! Your lighting is looking good now! And with proper pleasant Toneh!
08:35 - "The amount of absurdity behind you that you are withholding from us in a Tony Northwood..." OH MY FREAKIN' GAWD. Puuuuuure Gold!!
I once woke up in the middle of the night and everything was blurry, I thought I had been sucked into the background in full Toneh! Turns out I was just sleepy and my eyes were full of goo. I was so happy to see my world in f11 once I woke up a bit and washed my face. It was a scary moment.

Heart wrenching monologue at the end. One for the history books. I almost cried several different times when it almost started to make sense.
Toneh vs Bokeh. The choice, as always, is ours ❤️👍
"What You Can See, You Lost The Ability To Hear" 👂 👂 ..... Fuckin BARS dude 😂😂
We learned nothing, but this was the toneh we needed in these tumultuous times.
T-Stops literally translate to "Toneh....STOP"
Starts my day off with a smile. He is my favorite youtuber of all time. I love meetings.
That was actually pretty funny when I looked up exactly what (and who) you were talking about.
I would wear a "Toneh" T-shirt.
Especially if you can somehow blur the background. Is it even possible? lol
@@garrickmusic just put a bunch of out-of-focus toneh balls in the background (christmas lights or something). Or one big one.
@@NirnBootMod I'm already blurred and I would be in the background.
'I shoot in toneh'
Found this vid looking for Toneh’s channel. Absolutely loved it!
I believe this is the way they teach it in film school. Thanks for making it available for free
I just love this channel, that was a great monologue, what it was about I've no idea, but great nonetheless, spooky music too... Oooooh, hell is there an owl in here, with all that Toneh going on it was hard to see through f2.
Good stuff man.
Best ever camera 'instructional' video! @Camera Conspiracies, Kasey, you're the best man, revolutionizing the camera world one fan at a time 👍
How you don't break out laughing while recording videos like this, I will never understand. The level of funny bs is amazing😆
Is it not also true that as you decrease your Toneh you increase your Chelseh?
Too sharp for YT.
"Chelseh" is appreciating the pleasantness of your surroundings.
LOL
If you increase both of them, you'll obtain their daughteh? Haha
Aaajhaha
😂 this really cheered me up. This should be an official term and scale. Change approved
Alright newcomers this should be your first video to watch before diving into Camera Conspiracies videos!
That skit was absolutely hilarious! Your dry humour makes my day. This is a great show.
Without a doubt, the funniest video of yours!
This is the most important video in all of camera RUclips.
Sometimes you have to go back and revisit internet gold. This is one of the best videos ever created by man. With that we applaud you, good sir.
He‘s so funny. Yet meaningful.
Glad I discovered this channel couple weeks ago.
Here I am, reliving the birth of a new point on the exposure triangle. Toneh.
Yes, I also revisit this video once in a while.
This is the funniest of your videos so far. A master of soft mockery.
This vid earned my subscription ; I was in stitches literally crying.
Thank you; I didn’t understand the power of toneh
You could make bubble head statue of every photographers on youtube and sell it lol
@5:28 "you don't get it, Johnson. Sure, you may be able to focus 94% of the time. That other 17% - that's the glory time" LOL
I Think it’s time for a Toneh channel on YT! This is really brilliant!
Comedic gold, your best yet
Love your improvised humor 😂 Keep going!
“They don’t know the basic principles, like aperture, lens hood and Toneh.” 😂😅🤣
Your stuff is wonderful! Love the humor - really tames the TONEH rage!
This shit is SO funny!! I legit laughed out loud at this. Hilarious video! Absolutely great. Love it.
This channel is my new favourite thing. Appropriate amounts of Toneh to you, sir.
