Lenses made EASY! Focal Length, Speed, Stabilizing etc - Photography course 9/10

[@roeebenyishai1320]

Not overly bubbly and annoying, no needless babbling about anything, just straight up quality information. So unfortunately rare to find on youtube these days. Thank you, subbed

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Hey thanks so much for taking the time to say so Roee =)

[@pedrobacilio6212]

You have the best tutorials on KZbin... I have gained an enormous amount of knowledge from your tutorials.

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Im glad! Thanks Pedro! Please do tell your friends about these videos, and maybe even grab a copy of the course booklet (or ibook, or clip-cards from my website chrisbrayphotography.com - there's heaps of other free tutorials on various specific topics there too) to help me keep these videos free if you can! =) Thanks again and have fun practicing! By the way, I just visited California the other week for the first time, loved it!

@@ChrisBrayPhotography What would be the difference between a 100mm macro lens and a 35mm Macro lens? for instance, Canon EF-S 35mm f/2.8 Macro IS STM vs Canon EF 100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM?

I totally agree.

I concur, excellent video content.

[@bruceperkins6457]

I have been developing my photography skills for two or three years now, and have watched many tutorials. This is by far the best one! Easily obtainable information, lots of inspiring ideas, and really well presented without attitude. A very clear and forthright group of lessons. Thanks so much for this Chris!!

[@sinenergy]

Chris, I have watched tons of videos on photography skills; but your ability to simplify and condense things to make it absolutely novice proof is commendable. Thank you so much for your insights and making rather complicated subject comprehensive to a larger audience.

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Glad you think so! thanks!

[@jang6864]

Thanks Chris for releasing your course videos for free, enabling people like me to share your love for photography. I wish i had seen this videos way before, it had saved me a lot of time reading through books and other videos, not understanding the half of it. your explanations are so much easier to understand and internalize that it's hard to understand how most of the others have managed it to make photography feels like rocket science to me for such a long time. it's incomprehensible how you're not gaining way more attention or traffic on your videos. i would wish it for you.

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Lol, thanks Jan! Let's get some more viewers! =) Thats the only way I can justify giving these for free!

[@earthmoon4386]

Don't get me wrong, this entire video was awesome. But the last 10 mins were GOLD. Great tips about manual focus!!

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Thats cool to hear! Thanks Earth Moon!!! =P

[@Bengaleze]

Chris thank you so much for this series you have put together. I can honestly say that I've learned more in the last few days watching your videos than I have over the last few months watching other creators videos. You honestly have a gift of taking very complex terms and simplifying them into terms everyone can understand. As someone who has recently transitioned from cell phone photography to FF Mirrorless photography you have been an absolute treasure trove of information. I was getting extremely frustrated with my results and regretting the move but now I'm seeing immediate improvement across the board and an ignition of possibilities has been opened up to me. Thank you for all of your hard work and I will be following your work intently as I'm now a huge fan!

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Two messages! lol. Thank you so much for taking the time to write, it means a lot =) Have a good weekend!

Absolutely love your lectures Chris, they singlehandedly convinced me to get a camera and try my hand at photography. I ended up getting my grandad's Olympus 2014 E-M10, which is a Micro 4/3 mirrorless. I do wish you made it clear when talking about focal lengths that there is a conversation you need to do with cropped sensors, would have saved me some headache looking at lenses.

Finally, someone who actually explains what focal length is.

[@JenricAquino]

Thank you for this Tutorial Chris!!!

[@kineticbe]

Yet another very useful video Chris. Thanks for that. One thing I was hoping to find here in this course, is the difference between crop and full frame and how lenses interact with them. I know by now that the numbers and values on a lens, designed for crop-factor camera's, like the EF-S lenses from Canon, need to be multiplied by 1.6 to know the right value. That means if I have a 100 mm EF-S lens, designed for APS-C, I actually am using 160 mm instead. Same if I use a 100 mm EF-lens, designed for Full frame, on my crop camera (with adapter to mount it), I'm still using 160 mm. Only at full frame bodies, the values on the lenses are correct. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

You're spot on. That's correct. =)

[@okaro6595]

No, all focal lengths marked in all lenses are the correct ones. On smaller sensors one just needs to use shorter focal lenghts.

[@ChrisBrayPhotography]

Thanks for your comment Annie =) Im glad you're enjoying learning. When you say you want to 'blur' your images, I assume you're talking about soft out of focus backgrounds, not just generally blurry images (as they're easy! lol). Check my Aperture / Depth of Field video for more details but basically for best background blur, use a long lens, smallest f/#, close as you can, with maximum distance behind subject to the background.
