Little known fact regarding longer lenses creating a thinner depth of field: using a shorter focal length lens of the same aperture, but moving closer so that your subject is the same size in the frame, the depth of field is the same!

I really love the blurry background.... I can't afford a really expensive one but I got a Canon 80d I haven't learned it I like it better than the Nikon D5000 I call it a clunker maybe it's the lens

This is the first aperture video that I have understood. The graphics referring to depth of field in conjunction with aperture size were particularly helpful

After asking people for year's( and being told it was just LUCK) ,this was the fist time someone told me how EXACTLY to shoot a sunstar. THANK-YOU very much for that. I'm a happy camper.🤩

Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge and experience with the rest of us .

Gonna try the sun star shot tomorrow if the sun shows itself. Thank you for the lesson.

thank you so much! I have a photo shoot tomorrow!

Thanks !! This clears up a lot of questions I have about aperture. I'm using a 70-300mm lens with Fstops 4.5-6.3 in mildly low light to get morning pics of hummingbirds at the feeder that hangs in the shade of a large tree behind my house. Distance from camera to subject is about 25 feet. The pics come out pretty good but not super crisp like I would like them to be. I'll try experimenting with smaller apertures to see what happens !

How is this not a masterclass! Thank you 🙏🏽

Summer of 2023 I discovered your channel and the opening song was stuck in my head as I watched your videos every night after shooting all day. It was a great summer. Cheers from San Diego

The sunstar tip alone was worth it. Of course I'm more than happy to watch the entire video to get there.

People not in photography also can see your video. It just awesome and pleasant

These are some great tips. When I started my photography journey, I bought an entry-level camera and spent the majority of my money on learning so I did a diploma in photography. The great thing was my assignments made me test all these settings and I had a professional photographer as my tutor correcting me on my settings, light and photography.

This goes way beyond the description I was taught before where wider aperture just means more light and thinner depth of field. This is one of the most interesting and useful photography videos I’ve seen, one of my favorites from your channel! Thank you Simon!

I LOVE ALL of your videos, but this one I have saved because it’s so informative!

7:17 THANK YOU SIMON! I have been wondering forever where one puts one's focus point - not only for landscapes and pics with deep DOF but also for street photography and other general purposes. Ever thought of doing a video on "Where should I put my focus point"? Some more golden info here...thank you again!

Yes sir, you are a great teacher! Thanks for sharing.

When I use Aperture priority, we do the work around to use for instance a set 200 ISO. We can do this on both the Nikon D5300 and the Sony A73. This helps alot when I am using Aperture priority but the ISO is higher then I want and it truly changes the sharpness on the image without the noise! High ISO settings tend to be noisy on both cameras when it gets set too high in the priority mode. Its a great work around to improve the image quality. If you set the ISO too low to work with the aperture set on priority mode, it simple won't take the picture. So its a practice shot before using it at times. Well work using and my husband was setting up both cameras the other day with this......I got the clearest Raven shots and a very far off eagle shot as well. So to confirm, the cameras both set the shutter speed only by doing this.

Simon, you are a brilliant instructor. I have watched many great photographers explain how to control the aperture and the effect it has on the DoF and fail miserably due to making it far too complex, You have explained this in simple terms, making it clear as day. Thank you.

Very knowledgable and professional way of explaining. I've leaned so much from you.

I learned about aperture as a kid this way: Make a fist and leave a small opening and look through the opening at something in the distance. What you're looking at will appear sharper than if you weren't using the "fist viewer." Now gradually widen the fist opening and you will see the object in the distance become less sharp.

what a legend! thanks for all the wisdom, I took many notes! I will experiment knowing what I'm doing this time!
