@JimD7507 ай бұрын
Paul, I enjoyed this viseo very much. It was informative as well as entertaining. I shoot with a Nikon D5100, but I'm planning to upgrade to a 24 megapixel camera later this year. I prefer using a crop sensor camera because I'm primarily an ametuer landscape photographer. I bought my 50mm f1.8 lens to photograph our church's praise and worship team singing. I was using my 35mm prime lens but I was forced to move up close which can be distracting to the congregation. With my nifty fifty I can shoot from the back of the room. I do have a question. I shoot in manual mode. I don't shoot at f1.8, even though the lights are low, except on the stage. I know that shooting wide open can make my images slightly out of focus. I generally shoot at f2.8, 1/160th of a second, with auto ISO. My question is, since I am shooting from roughly 25 to 30 yards away from the stage, can I shoot at f1.8 or f2.2 without blurring my shots?
@PaulHeimlund7 ай бұрын
Hey James! Glad you enjoyed the video. Shooting at 1.8 with the 50mm might not create as sharp images as eg 2.8, but the image is not necessarily blurry. When I use my 50mm I usually shoot at 1.8, as the background gets blurry and it’s helpful in low light situations. So, you should be fine shooting between 1.8-2.2, especially if your deliveries are for web and social media. Remember you can always sharpen the images slightly in post, if necessary. Hope this helps and good luck ;)

There were times when I had passion but no money. 20D + 50mm, 30D + 50mm.. It taught me a lot. Apsc making it 80mm was a challenge. Zooming with my feet stopped being an issue after a while. Then I got 5D Classic and 50mm STM. I own it 9 years. I got used to ff+50mm so much that I cant put it away today. 5Dc is still a pretty competitive camera even though it is from the year 2005. However, the need of a video and a wish, a dream to make a progress in gear, made me make an order for R6ii+rf50. Picking it up this friday. Cant wait for the new opportunities out there. Lacking the expensive gear made me realize and proved it is not about the gear. Ps - luv ur vids!
