Getting up early in the morning and following your course with a cup of tea, taking down notes and so on..You know what? This is really interesting and the best one i could find in the internet. Thanks for this..Please keep it up

Hello Wolfgang, I want to take the time to Thank you for the inspiring idea, great instructions and great tips for a beginner like myself. The whole series is amazing easy and simple to follow along, especially during lock down. As an amateur hobby photographers, who have day time jobs and young family and kids, it is hard to come up with practice ideas that are satisfying, motivating and educational. Your video series provide all this and more, very easy instructions not too long or too short, explains the principles while applying it in a simple motivating exercise.

Great channel. Thank you! Easy to follow for me as a beginner! And since you don’t speak too fast, also lbetter for me to understand😁👍.

[@wolfamri]

Thanks, Ineke. Lately I started speaking a little faster. But make sure to check out youtubes playback speed setting. It’s outstanding and I use it all the time for speeding up or slowing down youtube videos.

Excellent sir!! Couldn't think of that a carfew like situation could turn out to be such a learning opportunity in an illumunating way, while entertaining at the same time. Lots of thnx and expecting more such e-learning courses in the future. With best regards!!

Thanks so much. What a great training video. It took me a couple of hours and playing around with the light source as kept getting a reflection of the light source on the apple, but got it sorted in the end. Keep the videos up as they are great.

[@wolfamri]

Great! The direction of the light is always important in photography as you sure found out. Make sure to check the beer bottle video. You‘ll love it 😉

[@cauger61]

@@wolfamri But I have one doubt, sir. Why do we need to enable the manual focus on, when already we have done autofocus?

[@wolfamri]

You lock the focus. That way the cam doesn’t have to focus again, once the lights go out. Does that make sense?

[@cauger61]

@@wolfamri Pls don't take otherwise. My doubt was, can we make that shot by autofocusing when the lights are on? Because, once the focus is locked, will there be any difficulty for the camera to focus further in the darkness. My apology for being silly!!

[@wolfamri]

No worries! Some cameras have focus aid light. They would focus OK usually. But the best is always to focus in good lighting, unless the distance between camera and subject changes.

[@Acid_Lexa]

Great tutorial! I tried to do it with an strawberry since I didn't have any apples.

Strawberry sure works great too. I’d love to see your results 👍.

Dear Mr. Wolf, could you please explain how to interpret and use the image width:height and the the light use with on and off camera flashes. Thank you

Hi there. I‘m afraid I don’t quite understand the first part of the question 😉. Flash photography and light is high on my list. But it will take some more time 😉.

I am new to this- loved your video. I am confused about the white light on cell phone. Did you take a photo of something white and then turn on photo taken?

[@wolfamri]

Thanks, Shelley. You can do that multiple ways. Download a white image, shoot against the sun and overexpose the image, or zoom into a white part of a website and take a screenshot. Does that help?

What system is that you are using for your paper rolls?

Hey Jim. The hooks are from Manfrotto, but they are pretty similar from other companies. The clamps are from Foba snd are cslled DAPAO. Not really cheap, but I once had a big studio with big heavy paper rolls and these are the leftovers 😉.

I am already be your new Subscriber...may I ask one Question should I use Macro Lens? Cause my KIT Lens of my Sony Alpha 5100 not so sharp as my Tamron Macro lens 90mm f2,8. Many thanks for your Reply.. Schöne Grüße von München :)

[@wolfamri]

Sorry for the late reply, Monika! Yes, the better the lens, the better the results. But with the longer focal length, you’ll need a bigger f-number to get the same depth of focus. Easy to do, just don’t forget to compensate for the loss of light with a longer shutter speed. Liebe Grüße zurück 😉 und danke für die Subscription 🙏

[@ashok5591]

It is inspiring, but the mobile camera's photo of the apple looked better. Why it was so, kindly say. Anxiously waiting for the answer.

[@wolfamri]

Thank you! It is very likely because the smartphone has a bigger depth of focus due to the smaller sensor size. Beside that, it probably did a lot of in-camera retouching that boosted contrast and saturation. I personally liked the smartphone pic better too ;).

[@andywork8062]

@@cauger61 Many like it for moving subjects like bird in flight or sports.

[@wolfamri]

Sorry, I missed that. I don´t really use it. I have used it for a while for studio work, but I feel switching MF/AF on is more suitable for me in the rare case I want a fixed focus. Other than that I think that some people have issues half pressing the shutter (for example if you have big hands). Then BBF does make sense. But I don´t want to judge. If people try it, and like it, it´s just perfect.

Sorry to hear that, Saahil. Many people did. What is your issue? Is it too dark, too bright, out of focus,...?

[@saahilsoni546]

@@wolfamri it's not focusing

[@wolfamri]

Try manual focus if auto doesn’t work. Or set up a placeholder at the position of the smoke, turn on the lights, focus on the placeholder. Afterwards set the cam to manual focus, turn off the lights, remove the camera placeholder and start shooting. Some will definitely be out of focus, but others will be well focused😉.

@@wolfamri hi wolf Amri, i tried this photo once again but now its shaking so much i kept it in a tripod still shaking kept the timer in 5 sec and still shaking.What should i do?

[@wolfamri]

We need to get you there 😉. Do you by chance have the image stabilizer turned on? If yes, turn it off. What could also cause motion blur is when the floor isn’t all that solid. Because you move and that could shake the tripod.

[@conswizzle]

I must be doing something wrong. I see the apple but barely and in the photo I can still see my cell phone.

[@wolfamri]

There are a few things you can do, Consuela: first, tilt your camera down ir raise your cell phone to not have ut in the frame. Second: check that tge brightness of the smartphone screen is set to maximum. If that doesn’t help, choose a longer shutter speed. Let me know if that helped.

[@wolfamri]

And check this video of our photography course to understand why a longer shutter speed will make the image brighter. m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/roaTopJ-ndFghKM
