The most commonly asked question that I get is ''how do your images look so sharp?''.
The good news is that it's all about technique, which anyone can learn. One of the most important things you need to understand is the phenomenon of 'diffraction' and how to balance sharpness with depth of field to create the sharpest possible image.
In this video, I subtly plug my upcoming course 'Mastering Sharpness' by giving you a free preview from one of the sections in the course which is available for pre-order here.
I talk about how to mitigate the unpleasant effects of extreme diffraction and how to find the sweet spot in your lens that gives you the best sharpness balanced with optimum depth of field.
I've even pulled out all the stops and created a mind-blowing diagram that Hollywoods best CGI experts will admire jealously.
I do all this while managing to capture a lovely winter scene after a fresh dump of snow.
Thanks for watching

If you want to know how sharp your lenses are, try them on astrophotography. Stars are the best to reveal sharpness of your lenses. If you focus on infinity, depth of field doesn't matter with stars. One more reason why lenses won't be sharpest at fully open aperture may not be the depth of field, but because at high aperture you use the part of the lenses that are more curved, especially with astro you may get coma, chromatic aberrations and field curvature, but if you step down, diffraction will make star spikes. It is the question of balance.
Thanks for a really useful video Gavin; I’ve just preordered your course!
25 videos lasting 1 hour? Is that right
@@jhswlondon No, could be three. It's a guestimate...
@@chrishall6364 Thanks Chris
You know, you're a darn good teacher when you play it straight. 😁 Great video and well explained!
I really enjoyed the more serious side of Gavin not to mention the valuable info provided by this tutorial... well done & thank you!
Nice episode but the only sharpness topic missed was how to get the tack sharp acquisition of Twirl bars. Hope its covered in the course.
Considering the small size of said bars, would they come under the heading of macro shots?
Gavin telling me that I don't need to see this video since I don't print my images.
Man, I live in the Netherlands I cannot do 99% of your shots here.
I AM STILL WATCHING BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME!
This was great! It’s amazing how many people conflate sharpness with depth of field. The key to life and photography is to find the sweet spot!
And we've already got some hyperfocal grumblers. Can you post a link to your video here?
@@fototripper haha no surprise there. And yeah here you go!

@@PereaPhotography Thank you.
Been a subscriber for a long time Gavin, and this is one of your very best and informative videos. I picked up some valuable information here. Thank you for all of your beautiful work and humor that I look forward to with each installment. Keep up the terrific work!
Congrats, your graphics ability is a little less sucky than mine! Great vid as usual my friend.
hahah but only a bit.
A side of Kevin Herdgristle that we rarely see: pure, practical, nerdy education. Thanks, I guess. Still waiting for the tutorial on joke stacking… 😊
What's up Gavin? I like this side of you. You put your teachers hat on and showed people that you're not just a comic with a camera, and that you really know what you're doing. Even though I do get a kick out of you and Amanda along with Adam clowning around in your videos, this is a good change of pace. That last shot you did with that slight blue tint; that was really nice, "I must say." Nice video my friend! Peace!
Thanks Michael😊
@@fototripper It's all good my friend, it's all good! Peace!
I’ve got to agree Michael, it was absolutely Magníficqua!
Awesome video watching you as an university teacher for the first time. Great change indeed!! Keep it up Mr. Hardcastle 💪
I am in, going to order your Mastering Sharpness. I really enjoyed your video today. Thank you
Thanks Tony.
I've always understood diffraction but your graphic is so brilliant, and illustrates it perfectly!
That was great Gavin,very good 👍 information mate.I watch most of your videos,keep up the fantastic work Harry.👍😁
Hi All, just a tip. Way back, back before digital, back before the internet, in fact, back before personal computers, there were the photo magazines that had lengthily camera store adds you ordered equipment from through the "mail"; and yes there were problems. Anyway, I read an article in one during that time, that some scientific guys wrote, in regards to the sharpest aperture to use. What they discovered during their research/tests was that it was dependent on how much (depth of field) you were trying to procure, measured in the millimeters your lens had to travel to focus on the closest plane you wanted sharp to the farthest. Didn't matter what lens you were using, it was all the same. You would use that distance measurement and select their determined aperture. I used their formula with large format cameras to great success. Not only did it create the sharpest images but it also allowed me to focus my cameras on the camera bed using the millimeter scales there. Bob.
Wow !!! You wear many hats Gavin. A comedian, a brilliant photographer, and an awesome teacher. Very clear and concise.
Great stuff Gavin. Have to say the sharpness of your images is always something I've noticed. This course looks right up my street. Cheers
Did anybody else notice the millisecond of irritation on Gavin's face every time the clanging construction noise down the road interrupted him? Great self-control there, Gavin! And oh, yeah... a great, thorough explanation of diffraction. 😎I'm looking forward to the upcoming training video! I should pop over there and sign up, eh?
thank you so much. You are one of the very few people, that explained it to me, in a way i really understand. before this video, it was something a lot of people talked about in a way, that i "kind of understood" I got a rough idea what its about defraction etc... however, aside from landscape photography, I'm also a lot into Macro photography. In order to get a usable dept of field i have to bend these borders a lot (In many cases a focus stack isn't possible since the object is moving)... its more complicated and involves a lot of work afterwards but its very nice....
Gavin I really enjoyed your video and learned a great deal, very professionally done thank you, more please.
This is brilliant - thank you Gavin. Great content. I usually learn something from your episodes, but today learnt heaps and crystallised some concepts I already knew. Cheers
Excellent video!! I've honestly never heard that subject explained so clearly and completely in such a short time. Thanks!
5 Stars my friend!! I’ve watched this vid 3 times now and it places easily in your best top 10 (ah hell- top 5) and I’ve not seen a bad one from you yet! I grew up in the film era - on a 4x5 - where the normal aperture was f/32 to 64. A fast shutter speed is 1/2 sec. We couldn’t even pronounce “diffraction ” - let alone know what it was! So up till now “Lens diffraction” was pretty much an enigma for me - kinda like e=mc2 stuff (and yes I know that f/45 on a 4x5 or 8x10 equates to somewhere around f/8-11 on a dslr). Plus there is the luxury of changing your focal plane in large format. Long story short: thanks for clearing the cobwebs up for an old timer !!
awesome video Gavin. Im glad you gave us an instructional one. Very good description of the key elements of sharpness.
Was this even a fototripper video?? I didn't laugh a single time, which is unheard of when watching these videos. But this one was arguably the most informative RUclips video you ever made, Gavin!
Dude, maybe your most informative video EVER. The links for lens info.....pure gold! But I did miss the shenanigans.
Wow - I will be highlighting this youtube video in our camera club's next newsletter, it was a wow moment for me as I reached for all my lenses to figure out the hidden world of things I never understood! Thank you so much I am enlightened!
Good Video. 100% agree with diffraction issues. i mostly focus stack if required. But well explained for those new to the hobby!! well done mate! 😃👍🏻
Thanks Gavin! Looks like a great course, I will definitely be preordering this one. :)
Congratulations on hitting 80k! Thats amazing!
Fantastic video! Always learn something new!
Fantastic. Great info and tidbits. Thanks, Gavin!
Brilliant effort Gavin, Thanks!
Fantastic video! I learned so much from it.
Another great video! Looking forward to the new course.
Thank you for sharing this knowledge. I will memorize it.
Great tutorial! Saved this for future (constant) reference, thanks, Gavin!
That was a great video Gavin. Well done. I love the silly a lot but seeing you teach like that was very nice. Take care and be safe out there.
Thanks Gavin, very didactic video! I will investigate all this on my lenses, nice tips. Cheers !
Gavin that was a very very good video very informative and very help full. would love to see videos like this every few weeks thank you so much
Thanks Gavin one of your most informative videos
Hi Gavin: I really enjoyed the in-depth sharing of knowledge in this video. I have ordered this course to along with my other courses in your library. For those members/viewers of your channel, I would highly recommend all of your video. Your approach to teaching is exceptional and the value of your courses can't be understated. I can't wait until the March 15th release. Keep well . . . Keith
Awesome. Thanks for the continued support Keith.
@@fototripper My pleasure. Will you be sending an email out to purchasers when the course is released or do we have to look on your website for the release?
@@keithpinn152 Yes, I'll be emailing you as soon as the course is done and uploaded :)
I absolutely loved this! Thank you!
Fantastic vlog Gavin full of great techniques 🙌
quite a technical explaination for you Hardcastle good video
Thanks for sharing another wonderful video like always
Great video and well explained. Thanks Gavin.
Thank you for sharing this with us love your videos.
Beautiful scenery, great video, great information for beginners
Gavin, I enjoy your funny videos but I must say I enjoyed this how to video better. I've seen many of your images and you are an excellent photographer.
Thank you.
Amazing video! I’ve just recently started shooting landscape photography and this video is exactly what I needed. That site is incredibly useful…..it turns out the aperture I’ve been using this entire time is not the best one to be using. I’m going to check out the rest of your channel now. Thanks!
I zoomed in the video to 10X on my phone and it didn’t look sharp at all 😂. Very beautiful photo and peaceful feeling. Great job explaining (something I lack 😅)
This was really insightful. Many thanks Gavin!
Thanks! Edutainment at its finest!
Great video gavin and thanks for sharing the site on the lens
You the man Gavin. Thank you for your informative video
I’m confident with my photography these days in terms of sharpness, BUT 1) the price point is really good even without early bird price to pass up and 2) I could always learn something I KNOW I’m missing in my photography. So this will definitely be something I get from you in the coming weeks.
Thank you Gavin, great content again.
very good video ! best of luck with the course
Awesome video! Giving us the goods. Thanks brother.
Great vid Gavin-love it when you put your teacher hat on. 😊😊
Really well explained, good teacher.
This is the course I've been looking for, have always had issues with softness. I pre-ordered the course, can't wait to watch it. Thanks!
Thanks a lot Amy.
great chat Gavin, always good to look at things in another light !
This was a good one! Thanks so much for the info!
Really enjoyed that Gavin thank you
Really enjoyed this video. 👌 Thanks for sharing and the links. Checking lenses now 😀
Thanks for that clear vlog...I found better image quality for my 3 lenses...photo stacking is required for better results with my style of photography!!!
Great video as usual Gavin!!! I will definitely be getting that. I would rather not have to post sharpen every single time. Why you don't have 1 million subscribers is beyond me!!!
Honestly, I've never thought about defragging in terms of aperture, but I'm glad you brought it up so I can improve my prints.
Great use of your time as you freeze your bum off this winter. I appreciate the ease with which you share the craft and your take on it. Good price as well. Just shut up and take my money. Looking forward to the mini-course. I'm self-taught (started in 2003), and look forward to filling whatever gaps I have.
hah thanks Ron.
Great video. Well taught!
Excellent video and explanation!
Very well explained Gavin.
Awesome job!
Awesome video mate very interesting I will find out the best f stop for my lenes now..
Excellent video Gavin, really enjoyed that and I’ll test my lenses the next time I’m out. Nice one old son.
Nice one, thank you chap. 👍
Good synopsis. #1 is use a solid tripod. Start with the basics. Even hang weight on it if you have to. So many people think that since a lens has IOS or the camera body has IBIS, that they're good. No you aren't, ha. I learned that from John Shaw's books back in the early 90's. Then use a cable release or self timer, because your hand/finger creates camera movement. Aperture choice for sharpness is a bit like the old adage, F/8 and be there. F/8 probably for lenses that were created about the same time as the adage, newer larger aperture lenses are more like f/5.6 for optimum sharpness. Two stops down from wide open is generally a good idea, so that faster the lens, the larger that aperture will be. Zooms generally need a bit more closing down for peak sharpness than primes. Many primes can be razors by f/4. Another factor that effects diffraction is sensor size. Bigger sensor, less diffraction effects. So if f/8 is optimal on FF, then all things being equal otherwise, f/5.6 is peak on APS-C, and f/11 on medium format...roughly. These f/22 people I see on flickr are animals, lol. Especially when the closest thing to their camera is hundreds of feet away. Focus stacking with varied apertures is an interesting idea, I'll have to try that out sometime. Best of both worlds. Admittedly, I don't do much exposure blending, whether for sharpness, exposure, or content. I'll do some stitched panos here and there, but they're effectively the same exposure IMO. Anyway, I've been looking for a Twirl bar for several weeks now, and haven't seen them anywhere, haha.
Look for a British foods store or section in the store.
Thx for the info. Will definitely try this
Great video, thanks!
Thanks again Gavin - I know you are promoting your course ( I own all of them so far I think), but what you provide for free is also awesome!. Love your work and generosity
Thanks Sam :)
Very interesting, there's always more to learn and that's part of the fun. Pre-order placed, many thanks for the inspiration and entertainment.
Kevin.
Thanks muchly Kev.
Just ordered the course and will start watching it now and putting all the jaw dropping juiciness of sheer brilliance educational from yours truly Mr super nice guy Fototripper tomorrow, as it's 22.28 here in the Uk and it's Halloween week 🙄
a good rule of thumb is to add 3 stops from the lenses wide open so if you have a f/2.8 so your sharpest spot will be about f5.6 and f/6.3, but yes f/8 is the best aperture to start at is what i normally suggest to start at.
Back at your favourite stream I see...great explanation as always. Great snowy scene dude. 📸😎
It's my local
You know i'm gonna end up ordering a print of every shot you get there. Looks like you found an awesome local go to spot.
Good and informative video - most of the times I am based on my experience - since 5-6 years I have only 3 lenses in my bag so I know how they works in different apertures - but the sites with info about the lenses and their specs are really great way to get some info about new equipment. Thanks to that site I found out that the aperture of f8 is better in my wide 16-35mm lens from Canon then f11 which I used most of the times... interesting...
Thanks for this movie, cheers!
Beautiful! Good information too.
This is so helpful and the shots look fabulous.

Thank you. That was very enlightening. I see that I was misinformed in my youth.
Great video Gavin, really enjoyed,very informative. Going to pre order mastering sharpness 👍👍👍👍👏👏😬😬❤

This episode is phenomenal and better than Australian chocolate, and the whole course: "Mastering sharpness" is better than Australian and UK chocolate. Will definitely buy it.
great info Gavin. (as always) I had no idea about MTF charts. I'm definitely going to be looking into that for all my lenses. Also going to pre-order your course in a few days. Looking forward to learning more
Thanks Anna.
very informative, thanks!
Wowwwww , so beautifull 👍👍👍👍👍
Excellent info.
Great explanation video. Pre-Order 'Mastering Sharpness' done!
Thanks Riza
As usual, an amazing tutorial video. Thanks a lot Gavin. A few years ago you made me spend money on a camera and now I’m continually learning from your videos. Keep up the good work. I would like to have at least 2 per week 😊
Lol, have you ever produced a film for RUclips? 😊 You may be surprised what's involved, cheers.
@@antonoat Yes, I’m aware of that, that’s why the smile face at the end….
Thanks!!
very nice video. thank you 👍👍👍
