4 EASY Steps to Get SHARP PHOTOS in Camera! | Portraits, Pets, Landscapes & More!

[@duke0fmarlborough]

I'm a beginner in photography and I've been watching A LOT of tutorials on youtube. This might just be the single most well-made out of all of them. I'm genuinely amazed by how much useful information was condensed into this video in a concise and comprehensible manner. Great job!

[@JasonVong]

thanks George! that means a lot! More importantly, glad it helped! :)

[@patricktessier7238]

I literally feel the exact same way. I can't agree more. I grabbed a camera, grabbed a lens, took a few shots and wondered why they were all dark, grainy, and not crisp. This video answered like all of those questions lol.

[@chivyp]

I took photos for my friend at her reception and ended up with such grainy photos I wanted to cry!! Thank you for posting this! Sooo helpful! Understanding the relationship between shutter speed and ISO is such a game changer! Love your simple/straightforward explanation!

[@jeselleigano2628]

Same here 😭 it was my first debut photoshoot .. i messed up 😭 but thanks to this vid ...i finally understand how to easily get sharp shots ..

[@careylymanjones]

If you've set the correct aperture and shutter speed for the effect you want, having your ISO too low will result in an underexposed shot. You will get more noise trying to fix the underexposure in post, than you would have, if you'd used the correct ISO, even if it's "high". If you have to use ISO 12,000 to get the exposure right, use ISO 12,000. It is almost ALWAYS better to get the exposure right, in the camera, than to try to fix it, in post.

[@MegaVolkswagger]

Although i already understand the basics of ISO/aperture/shutter speed, i found this video a helpful refresher particularly the explanation about why sometimes at low apertures the shot can end up out of focus. Cheers Jason!

[@poiisondn]

The way you explained depth of field really clicked. That's perfect. Thanks!

[@JasonVong]

took me years for it to click! glad it helped!

[@krzysztofdrozd6971]

@@JasonVong You should also include explanation of when the subject is further away from the camera, then DoF gets larger, so i.e. shooting at f1.4 will have different DoF depending on how far the subject is from the camera. I assume you know that, right...?

[@leonardoiglesias2394]

No. It is still not clear, sorry

Hii

[@Do0mBurger]

Jason I'm new to photography, this is the best video I've watched explaining these concepts.(I watched A LOT) Thank you for the effort and quality videos

[@Kyng704]

holy God, Holy God!! This man doesn't even know what he's done for me. This is so easy to understand, over 2 years and I couldn't get dof, shu8tter speed or appr correctly. This does it!! Thanks man.

[@Mannythephotographer]

That was one of the best explanations of aperture I’ve ever seen/heard

[@MrSonekks]

I totally agree 👍

[@busabayashi]

Jason Vong explains things in such a simple way! I've watched TONS of other pro KZbin channels on photography from other Pros yet Jason tells things that even an amateur like myself, who barely understands things like F-stops, can follow what Jason is saying. Thanks, dude for being generous with your time to make these helpful tutorials and yes I am now a subscriber!

[@MelonTL_YH2]

always great to get a refresher from Jason!

[@IzhanZubir]

Such precise, simple, easy-to-understand explanation. And the simple clarification on using manual mode at the end there, makes you, sir, a GOOD content creator. Much love from Malaysia

[@laurenrecently5801]

Been trying to learn these concepts for over a decade on KZbin. I am not a photographer, and this is the absolute best explanation ever!

[@JasonVong]

Happy to hear that, Lauren! Good luck!!

[@MohcineJabairi]

Wow! the way you explain things clearly and with simple words and even adding illustrations is so helpful! been watching many videos and got lost with all these magical terms. Finally someone who gets us beginners who have no notions to find a good starting point! Thank you Jason!

[@rolando_roblero]

Straight and to the point. That's why you're the best. Other photo KZbinrs talk for so long about their own personal lives. Thanks for letting us know the facts.

[@kurtier]

You do an incredible job of explaining these concepts and tying them all together in an easy to understand conclusion. Love your channel

[@geovanymiguel1496]

I'm definitely learning something new, I never realized that the shutter speed is one of the main reasons I get really blurry looking photos. Thank you for teaching us.

[@valetdecour]

Hey man, don't cry....I care about your content, you are one of the youtuber that I learn to use my A6500! And now, I learn every day a little bit more on my A7SIII !!!!! Great upgrade for low light picture!!!! Thanks Jason!

[@JasonVong]

Dude Alain!!! whats up man! I miss NYC!!

[@chrismancini3781]

Jason, I have been studying photography since 2016 and I still come back to this rule and lesson for my baseline setup when I'm dialing in my camera and either swapping in a new lens or working in new environments.

[@mariannepetersen7537]

You explained this in a way where I can finally 'click' with why ISO and shutter speed can go hand in hand with color/brightness. THANKS !!! I'm sloooooooowly getting all these little thing to make sense.

[@BlueFlameLighter]

I just consumed your street photography video (hour and something long) and now this back to back and I feel like I've been watching for only like 10 min... your content is so good, informative. I am still learning without my camera (hoping to get my Sony a7IV soon) and I cant believe this type of material is free. Thanks man, people like me appreciate this so very much. Greetins from Costa Rica !

[@geographywithmalaka2730]

I am learning photography.Even though I don't have a camera, I enjoy watching your videos. You teach me clearly. I am eager to buy a camera and learn more. Thank you soo much

[@FernandoClaussen]

As a visual learner, this video was godsent. The depth of field explanation using the lines on the tablet matched what I had imagined in my head when listening to other explanations but you now just confirmed it in a way that I was not expecting a KZbinr to do. Thank you!

[@Chromeghi]

Dude, I've been a photographer for 4 years now and I just understood aperture shallow depth of field from you. thank you so much man haha

[@3yebex]

Thank you for this video! Going through a photography college course, our professor gave us the run down on all the important things so that we could manual all our settings. However, she forgot to mention the difference between shutter speed minimums of focal lengths being DIFFERENT between full and crop censor cameras. As well, your explanation of DOF for aperture really helped me understand photographing moving subjects during my street photography.

[@BecomingLizzyBlue]

Great video as you identified some issues not often discussed. The one thing you didn’t mention with depth of field was that distance matters, though your example with the Mario carts actually illustrated it. Because you were really close it took a really narrow aperture to bring everything into focus, which actually is desirable with certain types of photography. That tripped me up, especially when I upgraded to a full frame camera.

[@okthen8445]

To this day that birds eye view explanation is what clicks every time k discuss depth of field. Especially when shooting a group of people where one persons head is closer than everyone’s and your trying to shoot as shallow as possible

[@strangerzproductions1551]

Watched this video about a year ago and I love being able to watch this again as a refresher. Great content as always, keep it up!

[@balkoni7398]

Whole year study were compressed in 11 minute video. Thank you & keep the good work bro!

[@JasonVong]

Glad to hear that

[@al.j.s]

You should do a video about editing software you like to use. Your videos are real informative and I respect your opinion and would like to know more about what you use to edit, software, hardware, etc.

[@GoldenAgeless]

Finally someone who actually makes sense! Thank you for this very informative video!

[@jimbolic0809]

OK. I seriously thought I wouldn't learn much but the visualizations are mind-blowing.

[@SoaringThief]

Thank you for taking time making this great video. I'm a victim of the miss focus and now I understand it more. Loved the Depth of Field explanation. Wrote down all your steps and will keep it in my phone's notes.

[@SAUJANYA11]

Dude. That depth of field explanation Handsdown the best explanation ever. Thank you sooo much.

[@kathynassa9974]

I check my histogram quite often while shooting. It helps ensure me I have proper exposure. Ty for your video!

[@the0carinaoftime]

One of the best, concise videos on this topic. So many other videos and creators don’t get to the point or cover the content properly

[@bamdadmedia]

This the first video that, 'literally' showed what the depth of field means. Hats off to such a brilliant video and the scholarly explanation. Subscribed!

Best Video I Ever Watched Explaining Everything In Depth ‼️‼️

[@kmkphotography6933]

A beginner and I must say I have learned so much from your vids

[@JoshPostVlogs]

Dang dude! Your vid’s are always so well produced. Great work! Thanks for this vid.

[@JoshPostVlogs]

You thought me something new. I did a portrait photo shoot recently. I was using f1.7. And using face tracking AF. The nose was often in focus and eyes slightly off. Next time I’ll choose the tiny box pinpoint AF to get right at the eyes. Also, a video idea for you. Show how different focal length lenses will show background closer or farther. (I’m not talking about depth of field focus). I’m talking about how if you shoot a portrait in 35mm the background will seem very far away and small. If you switch to 100mm the background is compressed and closer / larger in the background. I only understood this recently after years of shooting photos, so I know many beginner photographers don’t know this. I believe it is called Lens Compression. Cheers!

[@HausofHoot]

Thank you for correcting me! I've been scratching my head for a while not realising it was the focus mode I was using. Saved me!

[@AnticioDukeDesigner]

Easy to follow. Easy to understand. New subscriber due to this fact. Thank you Jason. 😊

[@varfla99]

I was in South Korea two years ago with my family, we love it! We have plans to go back to Korea and Tokyo. We have a lot of friends in Seoul. I will be prepared to take my pics.

[@georgiafan6618]

Thank you Jason. The blogs are rife with hostile photographers who belittle ppl with snark and sarcasm. I don’t peruse them anymore. Mastering photography comes down to practice with your camera. What’s cool is not having to deal with film. We can see our mistakes rather quickly on the back screen or a transfer of pics to an iPad. I’d like to see a video discussing the many menus on my new A7III. Yep it’s pretty daunting going back and forth for a given shot. But it’s worth it. 👍

[@clemencechang465]

Finally understand why its called shallow depth of field. Your explanation finally made me understand!

[@theodoreazaria]

I came back to this video once i bought my a7iv. Thanks this was really useful

[@zbatevp-vlogs610]

That last part - every begginners should know. I once do not know where to start when shooting on Manual..

[@Manifestation_Savant]

Most simplified explanation of the topic I have watched in KZbin. Great job Jason!

[@cloudwalker6586]

Oh Man... One of the easiest explanation to understand I have seen around... Aperture concept was on to the point and clear.... I am still on Aperture Prio mode till now. Now I can switch to Manual mode with more confidence..Thanks @Jason Vong.

[@happy030]

WTF. I do have the Sony A7IV since 7 month, but a lot of my shooting ended in blur Eyes/ blur images. I didnt understand the Relation between Iso/Aperture/Shutter Speed/ Focal lenght of the Lens in total, just partwise...I HOPE NOW, it´s clear for me after your video post, where the blury footages yielded from. Indeed, your explanation about this issues is more complet than other wellknown youtubers. THANK YOU Jason!

[@Cozma1]

This is the best description of depth of field that I've seen!

[@tdsmith]

My father was a great photographer, winning many awards. People would always ask him, "what kind of camera are you shooting?" so I can take great photos like you.

[@looneyburgmusic]

Regarding the shutter speed rule, as a matter of course I use 1/f*2, so I know I'll always be well over the shutter speed range to eliminate any shaking in my hands.

[@zeromonth]

Hi Jason... I'm a noob photographer and your videos are the most awesome vids I've seen breaking down everything technical thing to something I can really understand ... Thanks again...

04:35 is gold! Much appreciated. Thanks for explaining and especially showing (moving the camera back and forth) it to me as I was 5 years old 😄 I mainly do car photography and sometimes I have a detail (a badge for example) in focus, but the grill is partially blurry.
