I am a cinematography student .For years I was shooting with the widest open aperture for the highly clichéd shallow depth cinematic look and getting more light.But after reading an article I started using higher stops for portrait and is getting amazing results with good depth and sharp portraits.

[@gateway833]

Rudra Biswas its really hard to nail that perfect focus when shooting wide open

[@OceanSkyProductions]

Do you get any grain when raising ISO ?

[@ctallovesyou]

Finally I found the best ever photography tutor on KZbin who is capable of keeping learners engaged.

[@arijitghosh6378]

This is the first Indian-based photography channel I've found on youtube that makes decent videos. Kudos!

[@amitkrupal1234]

First I thought the video would be just comparison of shots, but I want to see it till last. Yes its more than that, stating chromatic aberration & diffraction, helping us understanding our lens & providing a way to find sweet spot of lens is Awesome. Already subscribed. Thank you for sharing precious knowledge with us.

[@stephenspiteri_zunkus]

Nice and simple. I did the same and wrote down a small list in my lens cupboard saying at what aperture each lens is sharpest. Good to know your lenses.

[@wilson_law]

This is really well presented, calm and wise. Good job, hope to see more videos soon. Subscribed.

[@MacherTV]

I just discovered you yesterday. I have subbed instantly. I really like your style of videos. 👍

[@vnvipindasyt]

Calm , composed, and clear explanations. Amazing. Inspires me to re look into details. Photography do requires lot of patience and attention to details

[@dewstar4095]

Great video ...really served my purpose ... You make quality content and say the information short and crisp.keeping making much more videos and all of us will be benefited .GOOD LUCK!!!

[@GeneralTarik]

Very good demonstration! Although I’m an event/wedding shooter and love my shallow depth of field I also shoot a lot of close up detail shots of, for example, the bride’s jewelry. I always kick my aperture up to say f7.1 , f8 or sometimes f11 to make sure the whole object/subject of the photo is completely in focus. This was extremely helpful. I’ll be testing all my lenses starting with my workhorse the Canon 24-70mm f2.8.

[@PIXELVIILAGE]

GeneralTarik Unfortunately, this works well only with Prime Lenses! Sorry... 🙏 😊

[@marvamaretto]

My mind is blown! Thank you!

Well, just entering into professional zone after being a longer time amateur, I cannot comment more upon content of the video but yes can about the impact and attitude about the presenter and I think it is too good.. Keep it up ! and looking forward for more.

[@scottwallace1]

That was fantastic. Thank you sir. Wonderfully demonstrated and explained. Much appreciated.

[@ranfuchs3592]

Subscribed sir....Very much informative.... i see a real master in photography. AM a learner in videography. Thanks for the nice tutorial

[@shelendravashishtha9233]

Everytime I hear 'hi I am Radhakrishnan', it's always good to hear I don't know why

[@lescobrandon3047]

After many years as a professional and now retired shooting for fun, I use f/8 for most outdoor shots because it’s the sharpest mid zone setting for me. The only other f/stop setting is f/4 for most outdoor portraits, never wide open. While sitting at an outdoor cafe with fellow photographers, one of the NYC pros asked me why I never shot with my Nikkor 85mm f/1.4 at f/1.4. I turned and shot a picture of the girl on my right at f/1.4 and showed him the results - sharp eye and blurry ears and nose, making her look freakishly.

[@audi_kid]

Sir, thank u very much for this detailed discussion, really quality videos your are creating, its helpful #ascertain

[@faizrehman6159]

Great video. I just love to watch it.

[@sosomelodies659]

There is also a sweet spot for sharpness per given focal range. This is very important because the glass have to rotate and move in and out to achieve optimum focus. For example: F1.8 doesn't work as well for distant subjects as F8.

[@06it1612]

Great stuff village wisdom...... although i would love to see more videos on crop sensor cameras, since most of us will be having crop sensor camera..

[@mg_movealong438]

Brilliant ----outstanding!!

[@srinathkaluve9663]

loved the video. quite informative and interesting. thanks for the video.

[@warrenkawamoto8660]

The test might have been more useful if the subject was a flat, patterned wall. That way you can compare sharpness in the center, as well as the corners. Corners are the most overlooked test areas that will quickly show good to bad.

[@90210sky]

you are a good teacher.

[@roadboogie]

very nice teaching! thank you!
