[@justinbuice]

Im guilty of this myself, but I have to say, these might be the truest words ever spoken in the KZbin photography community. I was just thinking about this the other day while shooting in direct sunlight at f1.4 with my variable ND filter maxed out. We’ve all been instructed by the internet that shallow DOF = “professional” and we’ve thrown every other principal of photography out the window.

[@lemmenscreativedesign]

Truth

[@deblashbrook3209]

Totally agree with you

[@techtutorial9050]

Agreed, a photo with shallow DOF doesn’t mean that it’s professional and if its true that you need shallow DOF in your photo to be professional then all the landscape photographer would be dead cuz they don’t have money to buy food shallow DOF is just a thing that professional will occasionally use as a tool to create a good photo some photographer use it less than other while some use it more than other for example a landscape photographer mostly avoid shallow DOF because the background is the subject on the other side of the fence we have a portrait photographer who use shallow DOF all the time and might even get a 10 stop filter to shoot in bright sunlight, shallow DOF doesn’t make a photo good instantly you still need to compose and expose it correctly but it doesn’t mean that that photographer who relied on shallow DOF is a bad photographer cuz he can’t find another way to isolate the subject and in the end shallow DOF is just a tool that’s use to isolate the subject and the people on the internet who says that shallow DOF = “professional” well I can’t blame them cuz that is the easiest way to isolate the subject and they’re trying to teach beginner here those guy wouldn’t know right away how to isolate the subject so shallow DOF got taught a lot cuz it’s the easiest way to isolate the subject

[@Septeemberpain]

Yeap

[@erikl1003]

Sage advice. As a recovering bokeholic, these are some very helpful words of wisdom. It's taken some time to not automatically compare m43 glass to FF, but slowly, one day at a time, I'm able to get it out of my mind... the bokeh I'm missing out on. Some days I feel like I'm not missing it at all. Other times I'll remove the lens and cup it in my hand near the body of the camera and get in real close just to get a little taste of that oh so sweet bokeh that I've been mentally poisoned with, addicted to. I remind myself that the IBIS more than makes up for the two stops of reduced high ISO performance, and the smaller and slower lenses more than make up for the clunkyness of my previous system, but then devil rears his ugly head and plants himself firmly on my shoulder and whispers "anything worth shooting is worth shooting with larger, more superior gear" but I brush him off, and click my silent shutter and smile.

[@DrShaym]

Blurry backgrounds were sought after because that was a look we associated with movies. It became possible to shoot video with a shallow depth of field when the Canon 5D Mark II came out, and that's when blurry backgrounds became all the rage. People didn't seem to realize that movies rarely had any scenes shot at apertures wider than T4, and they would usually only shoot that fast if they needed to. The shallow depth of field look was largely incidental in the movie world; a consequence of shooting with 35mm film which required large apertures. It wasn't a look they went out of their way to achieve. Actually, for decades, filmmakers were trying to come up with ways to get a _deeper_ depth of field so they could have as much visual information in a single image as possible, so they came up with things like split diopters (which are almost never used anymore), and composite shots. It's kind of like lens flare. Filmmakers and photographers were trying to get rid of it up until we decided it looked cool.

[@rickbiessman6084]

True, but in movie production, you typically influence every element in the frame (if possible). That’s not possible for people who vlog and such. So having a shallow depth of field makes it possible to make distractions less distracting. That’s generally a good thing. But ever since I got into cameras I noticed too that in movies, you often have a pretty deep depth of field and in a well-composed shot that’s AWESOME. Important to realize for sure. My takeaway? Try to get as good a composition as possible. And set your aperture to what you NEED, not what you HAVE. I’ve had to learn it the hard way, using a full frame camera and f/1.8 lenses. There is such a thing as too little depth of field and it looks STUPID when you make that mistake.

[@THEJOKEYJOKER]

as a newbie in the world of photography, before buying my first camera, i was checking one of your comparison videos (gopro vs sony i guess) I was surprised to see everyone praising the quality of sony while the gopro had everything in focus.. which was to me better or at least that's what I thought, like why would anyone prefer blurry background i thought. don't you want to share more. fast forward few weeks and i got my first mirrorless camera and got caught in the bokeh and subject isolation. i was checking fast lenses which are heavier and pricier, then it occurred to my mind who gives a sh*t about bokeh and i found this video and it makes so much sense. yes, subject isolation is great and useful especially for professional photographers but I should enjoy my light kit which after all i use it when traveling so i should take great wide non blurry shots of my travel destinations.

[@MetalSlugzMaster]

Foreground/background separation is far more important in still photography because all subjects in the photo are static so you use depth of field to control how the viewer's eye is drawn throughout the image. In videography the moving subjects and moving frame do that heavy lifting you.

For some reason, I found it interesting, so I ended up watching the whole video. I often find it odd that some photographers with their model take a lot of effort and risk to come to a location, and blur out the background completely. They could have done that in the backyard.

[@fishingqld]

Spot on lol

[@JorisMaas]

This is one of the best responses to blurry backgrounds (shallow DOF used in amazing places that will wipe out the characteristics of the location completely almost). Also, since SO many photographers use it, many pictures and video's look all the same. Model, forrest or park and a f1.2 or f1.4 lens. And then everyone is going like "I looooove the model shot with the blurry background" (on FB portrait photography forums the pictures AND the replies are almost duplicated time after time after time). Every model looks great almost when shot wide open lenses but it does not really have to do with the creativity of the photographer.

[@hitmusicworldwide]

@@JorisMaas I agree those types of comments are vacuous and idiotic as dudes commenting on the endless, overproduced Model Mayhem profiles

[@brandondemondwashington6148]

so right. I have been researching lenses for a while and I almost got sucked into the expensive 1.2's, 1.4's ext.. Then I thought why are people going to great locations saying that all these wide open lenses are the best, when essentially I can paint colors on a background canvas in a studio and get similar photos. It just doesn't make sense. People are getting so caught on the style concept (like getting a new pair on Jordan's just because others want it), but photography is more than style, it is context and content. (those photos last the test of time) In a few years getting so much blur might be viewed as sloppy in some ways.

I am your Fellow Citizen, and I started skipping school to decontextualise my scene when I was a teenager. My pop had a cabinet full of Sigma ART lenses, each one bigger than the last. "Do as I say, not as I do." We thought we could handle it. Then after a particularly black Friday, combined with duty-free and some Monday cybernetics, we found a Sigma ART 105mm f/1.4 in the cabinet. With a big grin, we took it to a very low-light and very cluttered party with some girls who could pass for models as long as you used a 90mm or better equivalent focal range. Ended up arrested in the park and sent to hospital to get our backgrounds panoramically re-inserted (though we couldn't actually tell where we were in either case.) All we could see were blue and red orbs of light, first with lots of chromatic noise, later with blown highlights. It was all a blur. This vlog saved my life.

Shallow depth of field is for storytelling purposes. If you need to isolate a specific object etc. Secondly it's good if you are on a location or set with a very busy background and you need to put it out of focus a bit so it doesnt take to much attention from the subject. Storytelling is about focusing the audience on the important part of the story/emotion. Yes blurry background is not necessary for vlogging. Good sound and light camera rig is ideal for that purpose. And long battery life. At home you can have a special setup with preset lighting and background etc so it's right the way you want it.

[@Detailverliebt]

I think you are right. There are a few situations where I like the full frame sensor, mostly for the wider fov coz my shortest lens is 28mm but the massive bokeh I think the only real advantage comes into play when you shoot products, maybe car porn or something. The other useful scenario is when shooting like super low budget shorts where you have bad looking locations and there is no way to change it then you can quickly blur it out. But honestly, if you shoot a movie you should spend the time to chose your locations carefully. IMO the sweet spot is somewhere between MFT and APS-C and that is more or less where regular 35mm film was playing, super16 was even smaller than MFT and it looked cool.
