Thank you!
Through animation, I explain various aspects of focal length, from the principle of the subject, to crop factor, and finally the different classifications of lenses.

I am releasing animations once every month. This animation was a bit late, because I decided to compose in 8K and then scale it down for some reason, and After Effects threw me a loop so it ended up only in 1080p anyway. These videos take me about 20-30 hours to make, from start to finish. If you have any constructive criticism, put it in the comments, and leave suggestions as to what subjects you would like me to cover in the future.

Continuing what I've said in the Aperture video... DUDE: on 0:34 can you please explain how is that nobody use such clear and obvious image to explain the angle of view? You just rock, man.

Short, brief, and clear. I love the way you present this. Thank you for your share.
Excellent explanation without showing a single shot or camera lens like many other channels do, yet very informative and easy to understand
New to Photography and just found your channel. The graphics and animation is amazing along with the demystifying explanation. Absolutely well done. That Focal Length and Field Of View animation at 0:36 and its explanation has hands down got to be the most concise explanation I’ve ever seem represented. So good I decided to subscribe.

That's awesome to hear, man. I really appreciate the kind words and feedback. Happy to have you on board and stay tuned for more coming soon.
I've looked all over for this answer. Every video promises to "explain" camera lenses, but NONE of them explain exactly what the numbers mean - except this one. I'm not one of those people who takes words on faith - I want to KNOW what things mean so that I know how they work. Thanks for giving me that info.

Thanks, John. What you said sums up exactly what I thought when I started out in photography; everyone was telling me to believe this or that, but I wanted to know the hard science and truth behind things; that's what led me to create this channel. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad I am delivering on my promise to provide straightforward and factual content. Take care.

this helped me so much. ive been trying to understand these aspects of photography for so long and this is the best video ive ever seen. it taught me about more than just focal length. thakns for going in detail about them and making it easy to understand. thank you.
These are some of the best basic photography videos I have seen. Real clear and easy to follow. It doesn't do much good to study shooting techniques and advanced features if your not clear on the basic concepts; these videos really cleared up some misconceptions and some confusion for me so I now can move on to more advanced concepts. Thank you very much.

Thanks a lot for the extremely intuitive and very simple explanations for the focal length. This is the first time I have got the actual impact of focal length
This animation is so helpful I cannot express that enough. I always come back to this video when I get confused about focal lengths. 0:38 is by far the best graphic for describing this!

Perfect explanation with great animations.
Honestly the best explanation I've found on the topic as I'm just beginning, other just start throwing the numbers around without really explaining too much about it, also the physics interpretation at the start really helped me understand why longer focal lengths would look the furthest and make objects look close together (rays are almost parallel at that point it's like isometric view)

This was the only video I could find on KZread that actually explained how lenses and their numbers work technically. One nitpick: in the list of drawbacks of zoom lenses it didn't mention that zoom lenses lose aperture stops with increased zoom.

Apalapse, I would like to thank you for this video of yours. I love the section about your explanation of the APS-C and the Full-frame camera. Now I know how to calculate the focal length of my lens when I mount them on my APS-C camera.
@Apalapse
4 жыл бұрын
I'm glad you liked it! The only thing I should say is that when you switch from full frame to APS-C, the focal length itself does not change, it's only the field of view. This is just a semantics issue mostly but it's important to remember since a lot of people think that when they switch bodies the focal length of the lens also changes, making it a different lens... When you multiply the focal length by the crop factor you are just saying that on the smaller-sensor camera the lens has a new field of view of ____, since focal length is the distance from nodal point to the sensor it will never change regardless of the camera you attach it to. I just wanted to articulate this in case it helps you or anyone else. Thanks for commenting and take care!
I just watched a video from a guy with 900k subscribers. He scribbled on an electronic drawing screen to explain these concepts but his explanation couldn't have been more confusing! Then I come here and watch an extremely SIMPLE to understand explanation with VERY good diagrams. Your video was ten times as good as his! Thank you! Liked and Subscribed!!!
