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.

@careylymanjones8 ай бұрын
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.

@@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...?

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.
@BecomingLizzyBlueАй бұрын
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.

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!

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. 👍
