5 Photography Myths We Need to Stop Spreading

[@MarkBennettCameraCrisis]

The biggest lie on KZbin is that Jason Vong is not my best friend.

[@TheMaan2008]

[@Hobbies4Hire]

I was waiting for an elevator yesterday and two men in front of me were having a conversation. One said to the other, "I heard Jason Vong and Mark Bennett aren't best friends." Obviously, I just waited for a later elevator. I don't have the need for that kind of dishonesty in my life.

[@muzlee7479]

My favorite one is “gear doesn’t matter”. The harsh reality is that it does. But not in the way most people think. It is not “more expensive = better”. Lenses, cameras, flashes etc are tools to create a look you want. The more tools you have the more options you got. You can do a lot with a drill, but that won’t exactly help you painting the furniture you just built. Also some subjects require specialized tools. Shooting wildlife with the kitlens is very inefficient.

[@kingghidorah8106]

"gear doesn't matter! look these studio photos!" Yo what's the gear then? "a compact camera" ...and just that? "three lights €350 each, a €200 flash syncer, a €200 reflector panel, an €50 intervalometer, an exterior screen sync €100 and a €300 screen, adobe Lightroom €800"

[@kingghidorah8106]

​​@@muzlee7479the lens is definitely the second factor, after the photographer. Next is the camera. For comparison, imagine a fighter jet that has a radar to guide missiles. The pilot is extremely experienced and the aircraft has a 1998 All aspects band I pulse doppler radar that can tilt the cells to resist perpendicular notching. The missiles are mod. 1 1955 Air to air radar guided that have short travel distance, bad maneuverability, a bad communication with the radar signal and no datalink (communication with the launcher aircraft) and high resistance to air travel. The pilot is cracked and knows how to make enemies fly in a way they can't avoid the radar. The radar is inmune to evasion, but the missiles are doodoo. Same as with the lens-camera-photographer paradigm.

Truth No 6: always buy a heavy camera and an extremely heavy lense. You'll always have a good excuse why you missed the shot because your gear was too heavy to carry around.

[@shadostorm8375]

actually heavy gears give stable videos haha. shucks

[@grahvis]

I was once thinking of buying a certain desirable lens but realised due to its weight, I would be less likely to carry it with me and therefore use it.

[@walterlee3839]

All depends what your end game might be. I have the GFX100II. It's ever so slightly bigger than a Nikon Z8, lenses are bigger, but no heavier than Nikon professional f2.8 zooms. The rendering, once you lay eyes on it, makes one immediately forget size. We've become such a nation of babies, many are afraid that something might be this_much too heavy or big for them w/o ever looking at other parameters. I suppose it all started with Sony's marketing of the original A7. Sony convinved people carrying something that had size was not good, so buy our stuff instead.

What I have learned on youtube is: Don't sit around on youtube all day watching video's. Grab any camera, go out and let's see what the day will bring you. It's like fishing, maybe you are lucky and catch 200 fish, or maybe none. But atleast you improving yourself by just doing it. Getting out of comfort zones! And with comfort zone, I mean your house.

[@MrSupermule]

it's true, if you don't go out fishing you won't catch anything and you also get fresh air and perhaps a good experience

[@HonkiePlonkie]

@@MrSupermule Met a lot of people doing landscapes, car spotting, bird/wildlife, on circuit, modelling or just random street photography. On the outside it looks pretty scary to hang around with camera dudes with huge gear, but they love to share the passion with anyone. I did a lot of comparing with other peoples photo's and got great feedback and tips how they do it in the edits or from the camera itself. Love how the 70 year olds are just creating amazing pictures out of the camera instead of editing, most of them don't even have edit software and still create amazing pictures with the options that only the camera is giving to them.

[@말랑말랑멍몽이]

Biggest bullshit is “high megapixel=poor low light performance”

[@RiceCubeTech]

Exactly my 50MP A1 looked better in low light photos than my A7SIII did. The “bigger pixels” didn’t really matter when the noise was HUGE.

[@TechnoBabble]

God I hate this one, and it's still SO prevalent... I've seen people as recent as last week recommending the A7S III over the A7 IV or A7R IV/V if someone wants better low light photos. Even had someone that thought his D90 was better in low light than modern APS-C cameras because of it's larger pixels.

[@memcrew1]

Newer cams have better NR, thats why you get better results in lowlight.

[@grandpascuba]

I know lots of pros that use APS-C sensors. And a few that use micro 4/3,

[@ZacharyDetton]

My first camera was a Canon Rebel SL3. I had fun with it but as a learned more and tried new things, I learned about how Canon nerfs cameras and that’s when I started considering an upgrade. Now I have a Sony A7IV, but if I had started with a more fully featured APS-C camera like a Sony A6xxx or a Fuji I wouldn’t have upgraded and it would still be my primary camera. As for aperture, with the SL3 I bought the cheap 50mm f1.8 lens from Canon. I’d try to get photos of my little dog as she runs around and I quickly realized that the wider the aperture, the more time is needed for the AF. After watching a video from Pierre Lambert he was talking about aperture and NatGeo and how they usually want photos at f8 or smaller. I use a 35mm f1.4 but when I do street photography I’ll stop it down to f4 or smaller.

[@jimbojumbo-os1np]

Im on a sl2 or 200d in my country. Honestly curious as to how they nerfed? I seem to have everything i need and the camera works good and I find it has more features and better image quality than my more expensive fuji had. You mention that you upgraded to an expensive camera, i feel like it should be expected to have more when it is double in price. The 200d is still ok for me but just wondering about it since ill be upgrading in a year or so.

[@SchardtCinematic]

I used to be that only Full frame guy. But my 1st dslr was a Canon T3i and I loved that camera. My 2nd was a Canon 5D mark III. Mostly used for sports photography. But I'll admit nostalgia always hit me looking at my old T3i photos. My next 2 cameras were the Canon 90d in January 2000 and in 2022 my Canon R7. The R7 is the perfect mix of my 5D mark III and T3i.

[@izraimran9016]

My advice is simple af, as someone who has 5 years of experience in a professional and hobby field, if you love photography to the extent that you want something more than your phone but not too much, by a second hand professional compact camera like canon g11, g7x, lumix lx5 and etc. If you love photography to the extent that you want to commit to being a professional or in any "photography jobs", seriously, just get the full frame like EOS RP, which is cheaper than another brand's apsc and micro four third. Or get a good second hand dslr like Nikon d750 or d850 or 5d mark iv. The analogy is simple, you're an artist here...tools are actually matter if you want to be a "true artist". At the same time, a true artist shall deliver the 100× better results with the cheapest tool compared to a beginner and amateur with high-end tools. Imagine of you have the high-end tools as a true artist.....

I have a Sony 6400 with a Tamron 17-70 2.8, and try out the flash on my Camera, and laugh. Because the Lens is so big, it makes a half moon shadow XD so its useless with the 17-70, sad but hey xD

[@Teslien]

Sensor size does matter in the sense of capabilities and bar set to capture those photons, which is why people buy a bigger TV. There's just more space to see the entire picture. So the idea is that, buying the most updated camera will technically/optically result in the most advanced photo/video of that shot. Which, if money is the only obstacle instead of building the camera by scratch, money is then seen as useless to a photographer. Therefore, money is useless. But alas, these companies do it to sell more gear. Save people, not money

[@javiazar]

For every "pro's don't do X" I can find you a photographer getting paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to do exactly that.

[@libertyvilleguy2903]

[@ianforber]

Another myth is that telephoto lenses increase “compression”. They don’t - the perceived distance between objects in the distance remains the same provided you don’t move closer to or further away from the subjects. A crazy crop from a 28mm lens will be the same as a 300mm lens apart from the depth of field

[@photo2000]

The off camera flash myth is just stupid... literally every sports, event, red carpet photographer uses their flash on camera (and with head pointed directly to subject). They are all professionals! and they are producing industry standard results.

[@qwertyasdf2838]

Very interesting, what are the settings and technique (except obviously turn flash on)to get the swirl effect with flash as at minute 9:26? thx in advance and also thx for showing pics of Florence in Italy, my hometown .

[@sebalehm]

The myth that fullframe was better then APS-C was actually true till a few years ago. The reason is that most manufacturers built the premium lenses mostly only for fullframe and the lenses for APS-C were a little bit mediocore. And we all know that lenses make a bigger difference than the camera body. And I doubt that there is a possibility that APS-C (or even MTF) could ever reach the same MP as fullframe or medium format. And while MP in general are not that important, there are instances, where you are happy with each MP more. If you shoot wildlife or deepsky you often have to crop the final image and a higher resolution means more possibilities to crop with sufficient qualitiy - even in event photography that can come in handy when you shoot for example 35mm and spot while reviewing the images a great scene in the background. Where the smaller sensor cameras shine is mobility, as they are smaller and lighter and so are their dedicated lenses.

[@saxophonistscorner]

0:57 there are sunset portrait scenarios w/backlight where my iPhone photos look significantly better than anything I can get with my full frame. Can it be fixed in post? Do I need to take multiple shots and stack them?

[@rsat9526]

It's not just about the Film Simulation on Fuji. In general, APSC is just a good middle ground. The only practical advantage in most scenarios for the bigger sensor is low light/noise performance which can be easily solved these days in post processing. In camera NR, is also quite good these days for video work. APSC has advantage when it comes to overall cost and weight. DOF: not a real advantage for any sensor size. FF gets shallower DOF while APSC gets things in focus easier and less likely to do focus stacking and at the same time with acceptable background blur. With APSC dedicated lenses these days F1.2 is quite cheap compared to FF for F1.8 equivalent DOF which is more than enough for most people and as Jason said aperture is just a tool to achieve the look and story telling you desire. I swear that I have heard FF users who try to avoid F1.2 and in some cases F1.4 as it's too shallow and hard to work with. With FF you can get wider FOV easier while on APSC you get more zoom in FOV easier too. All in all, it's different tool for different job. DR: It's not really a perceivable advantage unless you really push the editing very far (in such case it is not the camera but the person behind it). A difference of a stop of less is hardly noticeable and nobody is going to be able to tell if a photo is taken by APSC or FF based on DR.

5:30 I had a 50/1.8, but still went and bought the 1.4 big bro. Why? - The focus ring does not havve slack. - It has 9 shutter petals, instead of 7. - It is just a liiiiiitle bit slightlier sharper, mariginally. In fact, the third reason was just a plus. I could not stand that slack on the focus ring.

It’s simple: expensive cameras are for professionals. The sensor size isn’t everything, but most of the time, the bigger the sensor, the more expensive the camera. Yes, many professionals use smaller sensors, and some amateurs use medium format sensors, but usually, the sensor size is what makes the camera more expensive and the purchase harder to justify for someone who doesn’t make money from it.

[@nealeblackburn6019]

Up to a point but equally important, for me anyway is the construction, build quality dust and weather sealing and durability of high end bodies. I shoot sports outdoors in a British winter. As a Nikon shooter I could still get perfectly serviceable images in my subject areas with a D4x - I have a D3 in the cupboard that I still use on remotes in good light conditions. I just upgrade as I wear stuff out.

[@tomd4748]

Man come on….look at Sony. Their crops are almost as expensive as their FFs, used. There’s NO competition when there’s a 10% price difference. Normal shooters will never print their stuff, displaying their pics only online, so you can’t tell the difference, and they honestly may have never in life seen an actual photo taken on an actual camera, so they think their iPhone portraits look good, when in fact the ancient Nikon d3300 with a legit flash (bounce it) will utterly destroy any iPhone portraits using the awful flashlight flash. As far as smartphone vs ILC, uhhhh only the main lens is stated mpx, and the rest are 12. Don’t even try to crop in, so you better get the best shot you can, off the rip.

[@nothingtobeconcernedabout7477]

Not sure about the APSC argument using Fuji. You say there sensor size doesn't matter, but also that they are popular because of film simulation. So they saying that APSC is in because of the film simulations might be misleading. If they offered both FF and APSC cameras with film simulations then the FF versions might be more popular. I think this is a false application of "ergo propter hoc". Since film simulations are popular right now, therefor APSC must be popular right now is not necessarily true without an alternative (that is not outside most peoples budget such as medium format).

Im a professional using apsc switching from FF for years. Only other photo/videographers will judge but my clients never ever asked me abt my choice of gears. only downside is low light.

No1 is big lie it's the same as saying a tablet is better than a full blown pc

If you’re going to take the time to take nice photos .. as in you are a photographer… using a phone is moronic IMO Tiny crap sensor. Photos look okay on a small phone don’t look a them on large monitor/display or print. With that said most people don’t look at photos on anything but a tiny phone
