despite your photography knowledge, you are a naturally gifted teacher; to be able to explain complex subjects in a simplified format; this is a rare skill :)

Agree.

You’re literally my new favorite on KZread for photography advice and just helpful tips! I’m a beginner and enjoy shooting nature as well. Love the work!

I needed this video so badly! New to photography and absolutely guilty of cranking the f stop as low as it can go. Definitely noticed the chromatic aberration and had no clue what it was or how to fix it in addition to struggling to get the subject(s) of my photos sharper. Thank you so much for taking the time to create such a helpful video!!

So glad to find your channel - it is refreshing to hear and watch someone who operates at human speed, not in a rush on a coke bender like so many folks on the youtubes!

1.8 is such a shallow focal plane as well, especially for portraits. You might get the eyes in focus, but the ears might not. Also 1.8 increases your chances of the camera missing focus.

True it also depends on how close you are to your subject. Taking a few steps back will bring give you a deeper focal plane. That's why macro photography is such a thin plane because your soo close even tho the f stop might be at f22 or more. Also why 85mm or 105mm and 135mm are such good portrait lens you can get loads of bokeh and have your subject fill the frame and be in focus because you have to stand so far back 😆

As he points out, just because you have an f/1.8 you don't have to, in fact you rarely should, use it wide open.

Thank You for what you share, I absolutely love your level of Chill in your videos... your relationship to place and comfort with the landscape around you comes across really strong... and also, the breakdown simplicity with which you impart your knowledge of photography keeps me engaged... btw, the Purple Heather shots pretty awesome. Cheers.

Thank you Nathan that’s very kind of you 😁

Great video! Thanks for not including any cheesy montages with stock music, just straight to the important stuff.

This was genuinely interesting and informative. You showed us what you were talking about. A lot of photographers can't teach. Definitely subscribed

Thank you for the clear and straightforward demonstration on how to properly use the 50mm lens to produce a sharp photo. Not to mention that you were so relaxed in explaining things! Keep cool! 😎 liked and subscribed!

Your advice is spot on ! When I started in Photography back in the Eighties it was just me and my Canon AE-1 Program with my 50mm and 135mm lenses ! Took incredible pictures !

Great video, thank you. Mainly use my 50 for street work but keen to try up the hills now too

This is one of the best advice I've got, just got the 50mm and this is what I needed!

Great comment about many people not fully using or understanding the middle aperture range and often only focusing on areas such as 1.4 / 2.8. Will be following you on here and Vero 👍

This was a wonderful demonstration. This is the first video that I have seen from you, I don’t usually subscribe right away but it was your heartfelt thank you in the end that clinched the deal. Subscribed! Looking forward to more! Thank you so much!

I have always preferred mine at f1.8. Even though I learnt down the road that the sweet spot of a lens is not always the widest it can go, but never really tried that, until I saw your video. You are really an amazing teacher.

Solid advice! Thanks for putting out this great video.

Nice to hear a heads up for bokeh or selective focusing. There's far too many grumpy photographers online that think any landscape shots taken with an aperture wider than F16 or focus stacked are somehow below standard

I frequently shoot portraits at 2.8 with my 50 mm. It sharpens up nicely and you still get nice bokeh in the background. If I use it for landscapes I'm usually anywhere from 5.6 to f8 and its great!

Joshua, thanks for taking the time to make and post this video....very informative.

The examples you've posted are very informative. Thank you!

Thank you for pointing this out, Joshua! Your work is awesome and really appreciate the tips from someone so approachable!

Love this vid and especially your storytelling. Thank you!

I'm one of those new subscribers you mentioned and I just want to say that you're doing great! Solid information. No clickbait. Great quality. Keep it up! I plan to go through your back catalog and watch a number of your older videos, and I look forward to seeing where you go from here.

Cool tutorial! I am exploring into photography and I am very very thankful KZread recommend your video 😄

Super helpful! Thank you so much and look forward to trying this out with my 50.

Joshua, Thank you. I am a graphic designer but recently decided to pick up a camera, I am still learning. Your channel is new to me but I have learned much from your videos. the 50mm is my latest addition and I had to play around with the aperture a lot. the 50mm 1.8 gave me a new urge to take more pictures. thank you

Just subscribed. Love your videos Josh. Especially when you display the settings and provide explanations for what & why in taking your images. Looking forward to learning more from you. Cheers ❤

Came across your video and so glad someone else is saying this. I use 3.5-4 on my 1.8 all the time as I start to get pleasing Bokeh and sharp images at those apertures. Well done!

I am seriously thankful for the information you have given me

Thanks for a great Video. Your comments and advice is actually good across every lens a photographer carries. They all have a sweet spot.

Honestly, I enjoyed your content but was not going to subscribe until your heartfelt message at the end. Stay grounded my friend and keep up the good work 👍

I've just recently got my 50mm f1.8, this video is extremely useful and helpful. I tried it at f1. 8 only so far but now I'm going to try more apertures and experiment, thank you. Subscribed.

Valuable content, love your delivery, very genuine, well done and thanks for making the video!

Thank you for the video on the 50 1.8. I have this lens and I wanted to utilize it to it's fullest, but I was having issues. You covered all of my issues and I will be implementing them this weekend

I concur with what you advised . For me a good prime does not have to be faster than 2.8 as I will often shoot between 5.6 and f8 to ensure I have the best sharpness possible and will use a telephoto to blur background and move in closer to achieve that look with a standard lens. However , landscape and portraiture benefit from isolating the background and using a background that creates a three d effect . Finally , using a lens wide open , even on a tripod can still produce an imperfect image if you have not correctly nailed your focus and here, is where the choice of the f stop can nail it every time . Thanks for the video and it is something I think others should address in their videos too. Well done! You nailed it perfectly .

This was so helpful. Thank you so much!!!

Thanks for the lucid explanation. I look forward to more of your videos.

Thank you for these explanations! Very helpful content. I’d love to learn more about how you decide your shutter speed. I noticed it was different in every example but not sure why. Kudos again, great content!

Great tips! Thanks for the vid 🙂

I'll echo Travis Fellows' comment, Josh - I've just discovered your channel and have subscribed after watching this video. All very clear for the 61-year-old, non-expert budding enthusiast! Not to mention the stunning scenery (I'm Australian, and didn't know about the Devil's Chair, or the extraordinary landscape that surrounds it). Looking forward to watching and learning more from you. 🙂

Thats the first video of yours i saw and I loved it! Amazing explanations and very good pictures. Your personnality and your energy is also very fun to watch. Keep up the good work, your channel will grow in to time

Thanks very much. Nice, clear, simple instruction. New subscriber.

Very helpful. Thank you. Looking forward to your other videos 👍🏻

Awsome video! Thanks for the tips. Subscribed.

Thanks Joshua, I’m new to photography and this is one of 2 lenses I purchased. You answered some questions I had so thanks and keep up the great videos. Cheers

This is brilliant!! Thank you! I noticed this mistake a few days ago in a shoot and I was wondering how to fix it. Thanks for the great breakdown. Subscribed ❤️

Great video man! Thanks for the knowledge

Great Video Joshua thanks for taking the time for making this. Have subscribed and look forward to seeing more great video

Thank you Joshua, this video is SUPER! I'll follow ur advices 😁

That explains why I have some really good lenses but sometimes Im getting some quite blurry images. Top Bloke - thank you for not over complicating all your videos.

really helped me dude! Respect for your passion&work! Big thanks!

Just wanted to say I thoroughly appreciated this video. And I really appreciate your genuine desire to help

Recently joined the channel and thank you for sharing your knowledge, I'm learning so much as a beginner, bought a 50mm f1.8 a couple of days ago as my 1st alternative lens from the stock lens to my 2nd hand Canon EOS 700D.. thanks again great to watch and easy to follow always to the end.

As a newcomer, it is tempting for me to set it to 1.8, just because i can, and the more light, the better, but you have shown me, that 2.8 is actually much better in those situations. Thanks :-)

Thank you! A great piece of advise.

Thanks for this ! Keep helping me

Thanks Joshua really enjoyed that .. I’m often using my 50 for landscape these days like it around 5.6 and up to 11 , very good results . Just subscribed too .

Thanks for a great reminder for the experienced, and valuable information for the novice.

Great explanation with brilliant demonstration. Thankyou❤

Love your channel just recently found it, I'm just starting out in photography and your videos help me alot thank you

Thanks for this video... Nice perspective to 50mm 1.8 lens... Really helpful👍🏼

Thanks for explaining it really well! I've been putting off learning soft soft cuz it looks so intimidating but now that I easily understood the

Picked up this lens for portraits and cars shots, because of the talk of the extreme blur. Now you have taught me the full potential of this lens thank you so much!

Liked and and subbed as it made me smile at the end you saying you were close to 1k subs 7 days ago.........with 2.74k. I hope the snowball keeps rolling for you. First time watching but I'm going to make a brew and have a look through your content.

Thanks for your video. I just purchased this lens and love it for my beach photography.

the most clearest and the informative video i've ever seen about photography

Thanks for sharing your experience with great comments & results...best advice I have heard as I love using my 50mm ... cheers from Australia 😀

Joshua, thank you so much for this video.. invaluable information! Legend.

Thanks I do have that lens and love it. Great info.

thank u,i just got this lense ordered havent got to test it yet but i have heard so much good about it. :) thanks for great tips. cant wait to try.

Thanks for your time and knowledge!!!

Amazing video! Purchasing myself one of these in a few days! Really handy tips!

Fully agree, for portrait work I keep it around f4

Thank you for this video. You make me feel like you’re speaking to me. I get a little lost by some really good photographers that know the trade but speak as if everyone understands them. You’re enjoyable to listen to and learn from…

These tips were v helpful, thanks! :)

I love my little Nifty Fifty! Thanks for this vid...your points were all spot on! SUBSCRIBED.

Loved this video, thank you.

I can’t get enough of how beautifully you expose this lens flaw!! And how it can be a game chnger! In a purchase decision

Your awesome for being you to the last second of the minute I love it keep up the good work and ty for the lesson 😊

I learnt this with experience from working with my RF 50 f1.8 and had no clue this was a thing and only figured when i started editing my images and watching this video was like a flashback of my realisation to not use the narrowest and widest apertures to get the best pictures :)

Great video and thank you for the knowledge sir 🤜🤛

That was a new info for me thank u ❣❣

Great video having to use a 50mm, as my main lens in for repairs. But had to buy a lens so can keep taking photos, so watching your video was a great help thank you

Thank you! Very informative and helpful video!

very informative one for beginner photographer. Thank you !

Thank you so much for this one, I just subscribed because of this golden information
