Great job, keep doing this type of content video - your explanation was not only clear, with imagery to back up what you are saying, but your approach, tone and method is spot on!

    Nice tutorial explaining depth of field with different focal lengths and distances from camera to subject. I like to call the distance between the camera and the subject the focusing distance. The longer that distance, the bigger the depth of field. The shorter the focusing distance, the narrower the depth of field. Thus, as you demonstrate in the video, the closer you get to the subject, the shallower the depth of field.

    Once again a very informative tutorial, I'm approaching 70 have been a photographer for many years, digital is a whole new world to me so I'm constantly re-learning, I like your straight to the point attitude and the way you teach/advise rather than posing for the camera, I also admire the way you hold the camera steady on live view, those days are gone for me :) once again thank you for your expert advice

    nice tuto. so, based on last tips, we can achieve blur background with a 24mm, just by getting closer from subject ? i thought a 24mm gives large depth of field. but what about distorsion of portrait with a 24 or a 35mm ? retoucheable in lightroom ? i always keep in mind we need at least 50-85mm to avoid distorsions of portrait, even 200mm being the best ?

  • @bulgiriri
    @bulgiriri Жыл бұрын

    I just didn’t get it 2:58 and the picture before as well, how can you shoot 1.4 aperture and still be able to see behind the subject. The depth of field is supposed to be extremely blurry. I am just an amateur and most probably missing something.

  • @isabellethomas2750
    @isabellethomas27504 жыл бұрын

    So.... if you have 2 subjects and you want them to be in focus, (I.e a couple) how do you make sure they are both sharp? By increasing the distance between them and the photographer? And depending on the zoom lens? Who do you put your focus on?

  • @jonathanbyrdmusic

    I have no idea how you shoot a close-in portrait at 24mm without distorting the features! I'd love to know how you managed that.

    Thanks for this. Why, like everyone else, is shortening camera to subject distance and increasing subject to background not given more prominence - the orher factors are almost irrelevant when you pay attrntion to this fundamental. The IOS app "Simple DoF" is a winderful learning tool to understand this.

    This is all so subjective. Some good tips in general, and nobody just wants a snap-shot (camera phone), but creativity is in the hands of the photographer. While I don't disagree with most of the shots in the video, personally, I may have done different, as would a lot of others.

  • @martynphillips6646
    @martynphillips66464 жыл бұрын

    Good rule of thumb is a 1/3 in front and 2/3's behind your focus point. Also depth of field is directly proportional to how far away your focus point is set from your camera. At f1.4 and two miles it will all be all be in focus. Mark Wallace did a much better job of explaining depth of field.
