Don't have one, but I did appreciate the optional strategies to consider when this occurs on whatever gear you have. For me, you're one of the most palatable KZread creators.

I will definitely experiment, and even try some portrait photography with it!

    Absolutely the best basic tutorial! Mark. I started with photography in the late 1960s before I knew anything about how the interaction of exposure/aperture/ISO (ASA then) affected images. I've taken classes (on-line and collage level) and have built upon that education over the years and practiced A LOT. Yes, my photography has improved but lately I've found myself uninspired mainly because photography has become formulaic. I shoot AV 90% of the time because it's how "I've always done it". After watching this video I'm inspired again. Trying the Canon Picture Styles wasn't even on my radar before but it is now...shoot Tv...start looking for opportunities....Zoom lens compression techniques...ditto. I've watched several of your videos and enjoyed them immensely. One thing I'd like to see you do though, introduce the lens you're reviewing at the beginning. A few times I'll watch and wonder "....manufacturer?...model?". Now I have to subscribe so I don't miss your future reviews/tips. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into your videos. Very, very impressed!

    Thank you for this video!!! I am a newer to the photography scene, and I have been struggling with a lot of the stuff you talked about. I started out with my aperture as low as I could possible go, and was confused as to why certain photos looked good and others didn't look so good. I didn't realize that around F8 is where you want it if you wanted everything in focus. I also tried doing some super close up pictures at the widest focal length, and then zooming in to get the same picture and they look completely different. I have tried recreating some really nice looking pictures I have seen online where there's something off in the distance that I want to highlight in a picture, and I could never figure out how other photographers got it to look like it's naturally closer than it is. After watching this video so much stuff makes sense now.

    Thank you. Yes, I am hopeful this will make a meaningful different to some viewers photography. It took such a long time to make.

    Thanks again for a great introductory video! I consider myself roughly around "intermediate" level (without the budget for the lenses yet! lol) but your talk about compression was first-rate - I've watched a lot of videos before getting my EOS R7 (and now RP) and this is the first video to explain it - and to explain it very clearly. Please keep up the excellent work!
