[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Already bro! Glad it helped

[@joes2828]

Thanks for the tip. I realized after a few mins of shooting, the camera would weigh heavily and I'd start shaking while shooting, which resulted in me missing focus. I will try this. Thanks man!

[@markthomas1811]

Good reminders on holding/shooting technique for a sharp picture, but for me ... I would pump up my ISO a bit to make sure I got a faster shutter speed that I was happy with.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Mark Thomas absolutely! But practicing with lower shutter speeds helps to perfect your form and nailing the shot. Of course we will bump up the ISO to insure we nail in a job. Well i know i do. It’s just good practice that has helped me though out the years.

[@TheNaturaltay]

Hello! Thank you for posting this video; it will be helpful to many. I wanted to know what type of metering you are using on the camera (spot, weighed, etc.)? I am still having trouble exposing for the subject.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

TheNaturaltay you’re so very welcome! I always use spot metering. Since i use flash a lot i just need to meter the brightest part of the scene and i just fill in flash for my subject.

[@swaroopagupta]

Thanks for the tips Keydrin!! Will follow from now on. You mentioned about calibrating the camera. Can you please throw some light on this? How to calibrate and when to calibrate? If i use canon n sigma lenses on my canon body, how should i calibrate? Shout out from Africa :)

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

swaroopa gupta You’re very welcome! Here’s a link to what i was talking about. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oWPdnX9_ecuJncU

[@MORTRAX]

You better double, triple, quadruple your shutter speed with higher megapixel sensors, otherwise you still get camera shake if not steady enough. Also wide open on a 35mm is way easier than like my 105mm 1.4E without sensor of lens stabilization. Great video anyway like always ✌️

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Mr.Vern thank you and you’re absolutely right! Those higher megapixels cameras are unforgiving.

[@digitalpursuit6763]

I love your images.. I've learn a lot from your KZbin keep up the good work... So I thought I could shoot like you... My Canon gear was stolen and I recently purchased the A7 iii. And I have yet to get my off camera flash (the sony hvl 45) to work with my Godox trigger nor with the hvl 20. I guess my question is does the off camera flash only work with the R iii and better? And this sony ( I'm new to Sony , one week in ) interface has created some issues for me, any pointers coming from canon to sony?

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Digital Pursuit nah, you’ll need to have a Sony trigger to fire the Sony and a Godox trigger to fire a Godox flash

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Digital Pursuit sorry to here you lost all your gear that sucks but you’ll love the A7iii

[@Ganjin88]

Mr. Franklin, I did not realize you have to calibrate the lens. I usually use Auto-Focus single focus point (AF back button) and sometimes it comes out blurry. I will come back watching this video at least 3 times. Thanks.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Ganjin88 haha yup, some do require calibration. 🙌🏽

Hi .. Do you mind sharing any tips or methods for attaching lights (600, 360, 200) to monopod where it wont twist off or swivel while moving around a shoot, im having that issue? thanks again

[@xpy1]

I need your advice all of a sudden my pictures are coming out blurry as shit with a 70 200 with the image stabilization And I always shoot in manual all of a sudden when I’m aiming for the face my pictures are coming out blurry I don’t understand but when I put my Canon 5D Mark two in creative mode on at sea it comes out crisp and sharp I’ve always shied Emmanuel this is never happened this just recently started happening to me can you tell me what I’m doing wrong I even took the shutter speed at 303 5400 and I don’t know the deal can you tell me something at what’s going on

[@johnmoscato4648]

please whats the LUT used on this video ?

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

John Moscato i used Christian mate grabs lut. Can’t remember the exact one i used but it’s on his new Sony lut package he just released. I also tweak it more to how i like it

[@ThePeterasd]

there is no settings in lower end dslr for lens fine tuning... is it not required in smalll dslr? if i really want to do then how to do in them....

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

ThePeterasd i guess i should have mentioned that it’s in the semi pro and up cameras. Then, you’ll have to get as close as you can to sharp in camera and add sharpness in post.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

ThePeterasd or manual focus if you really need it to be razor sharp

[@pablodoncor]

Hi Keydrin, here Pablo from Argentina. I wonder how to get sharp ears while shooting wide open, let say at 1.8. I've seen some pictures even shot at 1.2 that skin details and ears are tack sharp. Is that possible? Depends on the movement or has nothing to do with? I wonder if they use a tripod for portraits. Any advice would be highly appreciated. Cheers dude!

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Pablo Doncor tripods certainly help and backing up to widen the focal plane while shooting wide open the cropping in post to the desired composition.

[@pablodoncor]

@@924PHOTOGRAPHY Thank you Keydrin. So, it's better to be two steps back in order to get a higher DOF and then crop in post. Right?

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Pablo Doncor correct. If you’re shooting a higher megapixel camera you have the room to crop in post. Just be mindful of that, and if all else stop down and add blur back in post if necessary.

[@pablodoncor]

@@924PHOTOGRAPHY Thanks, appreciated.

[@seken2nun]

Or you can just purchase a Sony A7 series and use eye/face detection and have the same results

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Teddy Tedd true

[@alainm7441]

That is just what I did and it is night and day!

[@frankyvee1]

Eye Auto Focus stay thirsty my friend. :-)

[@RyanREAX]

i have a 5dmark3 and a7r3... both do a great job but yes eye af is better.

[@jasonbodden8816]

Well, for those of us who can't, that's who this video is for. That much is obvious.

[@kareem.abiodun.photography]

I shot with sony a7iii 50mm 1.8 and what’s the sharpest nur?

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Kareem Abiodun Musa I’ve never use the Sony 50mm f/1.8 so i could tell you

[@xpy1]

what if i do a full body shot how do i make sure its sharp with the 5d mk iii and canon 24-70

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Just use the center to of the frame to focus and recompose. I like using back button focus seems to work well for me. You may want to calibrate your lenses to your body

[@beltxabeltxa]

Good that you took the lens cap off for the shots, lol, nice video anyway

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

LOL, yep! Thank you

LMAOOOO

[@southbayexposure9693]

Nice tips however, I advise to "press" the shutter not "hit" the shutter. Similar to squeezing the trigger.

[@shadowknightmoon130]

sniper shot!heheeh

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

[@coast2coastimagery]

Not to ruffle any feathers but purchasing a Sony Emount (with Eye af) isn't always the right answer. There are people that are not only loyal to their brand but also just don't have the money for it. That said, I do own an A7iii. HOWEVER, I started out on the A700 and worked my way up. While the Canon and Nikon user bashed me for my choice, I steadily used techniques like Keydrin is describing here to get awesome and really sharp shots. So to us that have the advance Sonys, relish at the moment. For the others, keep pushing and use the techniques here to improve your image quality.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

coast2coastimagery you’re absolutely right, and to be honest i still use these techniques even with my Sony cameras. I’ve used Nikons since I’ve been shooting and it’s just a habit in shooting like this now i have to say it is nice not to have to tuck all the time with the Sony! When i use the Canon 400mm f2.8 on the Sony A9 or A7riii i definitely have to tuck for that beast haha

[@coast2coastimagery]

LOL! Good point. You do see people tend to drift back to sloppy techniques just because a camera has an ability to "compensate" for it. I still use an old school Minolta 80-200 G and Carl Zeiss 135mm 1.8 screwmounts made for the Sony A-mount cameras from time to time. Eye af doesn't work on those and they're heavy as a tank so "free-style"/ shooting from the LCD screen isn't the best options in the world.

[@game2572]

When you are a photographer you need to know how to operate any camera someone put in your hand and get a good picture

[@okamivolgan]

noticed they both wear the same shirt brand .

[@wanneske1969]

1/30th of a second seems quite slow for a moving subject

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

johan bauwens it is, but it’s to help with nailing sharp focus. If you can nail it at that shutter speed not necessarily shooting someone it will help. Of course it’s not ideal to shoot at that shutter speed. I’m just letting people know what i did to improve my focus.

[@camffix]

Excuse me Sir! This 35mm Lens is F2 NOT F1.8

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

[@racewiththefalcons1]

Single-point AF?

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

racewiththefalcons1 that’s what i use focus and recompose

[@zsozsousa1]

Great tips but It's very rear to using 1/30 sec Sutter speed with handheld even with mirrorless with ibis. There is no reason to go that low with shutter speed when you can adjust so many things and avoid to using low Sutter speed and you still getting sharp images. I understand that it's sounds good to say that but in the reality to using 1/30 sec Sutter speed it's just not going to happen with handheld.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Fishing4life 1/30sec is just to practice getting sharp shots. I’m just letting the people know what i didn’t to learn to get sharp images. It is very rare you use that shutter speed but it does help.

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

I’m completely aware of all the other options to avoid such a slow shutter speed

[@Steves_End]

lol why are you lying to these people? That is not a 35mm 1.8. Boy stop, how you gonna give advice when you don't even know what lens you're using?

[@924PHOTOGRAPHY]

Steven Guillory i said correction in the video.
