Very nice video, Rose. The graphic image you created to explain aperture light range and depth of field, 3:00-3:09, is wonderful, as are the other graphics spaced throughout your narrative. It takes a lot of extra effort to make images of such quality! Subscribed.

Great hob

[@benjaminsteven6144]

Hi! I love the video. What camera do you use and do you have any camera recommendations?

[@rosellenene]

Thank you so much! I am using a panasonic Lumix G7 and G85 :) I got them because I can do both photography and videography and it suits my budget. If you are just starting out I recommend an entry level camera like the G7 (or equal model from other brands like sony, canon, etc), G85 if you will be doing outdoor photography too because it's weather proof :)

[@Trevscuriosites]

I shoot with Canon and have been using 1 point auto focus I am beginning to think I should change this setting, am I on the right track ? thanks for your very informative video

[@rosellenene]

You're on the right track! :) Choosing between single point autofocus and multi-point autofocus boils down to what you're shooting and your shooting conditions. Pick a single focus point, and the camera hones in on that spot. This mode gives you control over what exactly the camera focuses on, perfect for still subjects or when you know where your subject will be. :) Multi-point Autofocus: Here, the camera uses several focus points. This is handy when your subject is moving around, as the camera can keep focus even if the subject shifts from the center point. Friendly reminder: in multi-point mode, the camera might focus on the nearest object under any of those points. That could be tricky in a scene with lots going on. Try both and see what clicks best for you! Mastering your camera's autofocus system is key for those crisp shots. :D Hope it helps!

[@kc.nworie]

Can you use a DSLR for product photography.

[@rosellenene]

Absolutely! Using a fancy camera like a DSLR for taking pictures of products is a great idea. It lets you control how the pictures look, making them super clear and professional. You can change lenses for different looks, and play with lighting and background to make your products stand out. 📸👍
