sir in portrait mode what to do if i want to blurr the subject and want to focus the background of the subject
hi abhishek,
did u use flash while clicking in shade ?
Can canon lens be used in nikon? I hope you will answer soon.
the first shoot was f5.6 but for review of photo it was f2.8
LOL i am laughing about Aperture.. with that lens how can you go to 2.8 ????
The lens used was the 18-140mm f3.5/5.6 but the final image in the preview came out to be f2.8. The image was taken with a D5300 but the preview seemed to be taken from a professional full-frame DSLR. What kind of foolishness is this?? Please don't fake the photos atleast in tutorials +Nikon India
Hi Team,
Thanks a lot for these videos! These are very helpful & informative as I dont know many things abot DSLR.
I ve a question: Is der any difference between Aperture Auto Mode & Aperture priority Mode? Could your plz explain? Thank U!
Why does Abishek brings two guests, he does it all himself, don,t let the guest to talk
Lens information and Setting are not mention in this episode.
Make it One For Lowlight…! Good job
You were shooting in f/5.6 aperture and how did the image is 2.8? Magic???
@NikonInda – how did you manage to take a pic with f/2.8 using 18-140 lens? Minimum should be f/5.6.
@5:34"
Vinay, @6:48 you said the only concern you have is the shadow falling on half of the face due to direct sunlight on model's face. What about squinting? When sunlight is directly falling on the person's eyes, they squint; just like Tridihsa is squinting. Inbetween she is also trying to block the sunlight with her hand. When the person is squinting, we are not able to capture the most important part of a face, that is eyes. Eyes can fill life into the photos. The other problem with squinting is that it develops tension on the forehead.
I personally ask my friends to use sun-glasses, that way I get rid of the tension on the forehead and between the eyebrowse, but I lose on capturing the beautiful eyes. What do you suggest?

Sir pls help me ..how to edit raw files?? adobe photoshop and photoscape both are showing error …pls help me
I am a bit confused. In the video you said in order to achieve a shallow depth of field, you zoomed the lens to the fullest. But a lens has the shallowest depth of field when the aperture is the widest. and the more you zoom, the narrower your aperture becomes. So ideally you should unzoom as much as you can is not it?
PRETTY BAD CINEMATOGRAPHY, YOU GUYS PLEASE HIRE A GOOD CINEMATOGRAPHER / DIRECTOR ….
Can you please suggest me the lens that are good for portrait photos
didn't get that … u said min aperture while clicking pictures f/5.6 n while previewing pictures u showd f/2.8
A guy is using 18-140mm lens with aperture range f3.5 to f5.6,
at 5:34 image data is showing aperture f2.8
Its impossible!
At least take care of these things while making tutorials
f 2.8 on 18-140 lens?
Do you make any review of nikon d750?
Hi Abhishek very good evening, i love the tutorials, and i learned many things, i need your help i want to buy a Nikon DSLR camera and my price range is very low that is 35000 INR, please recommend me the best NIKON DSLR camera in this price range, i love to click (High priority) Portraits, (Medium priority) Landscapes and (Medium priority) wedding.
Please suggest i am looking forward of your reply, i know this price range is quite low but my pocket allows me this amount only.
I felt that you could have explained more about the metering modes to focus on the subject, so as to get the proper exposure of the subject in the day light condition as most of them don't utilize the this fantastic option
First in video it was told that widest aperture in 18-140mm lens is 5.6 which is not true as the lowest aperture ranges from 3.5-5.6 accordingly So widest aperture in this lens is f/3.5. Few people have already asked the same question so i do. How then photos are shot with f/2.8. It means they have been shot with some other Prime lens or any other lens as variable focal length lens don't support f/2.8.
Hi Abhishek very good evening,
In this video you showed the pics both the time was clicked by vinay (S-1/1600, A- f/2.8, iso 100). you didn't showned the images that you clicked with 140mm n f/5.6.
140mm lenc with lowest aperture f/5.6,when abhishek sir was taking the pic of tridisha under the tree shade… how come the pic come in aperture f/2.8 ?
Which lens should i buy for portrait photography
its f/5.6, he says it..
how is the aperture setting shown as f/2.8 in images clicked by 18-140mm lens ? it is a blunder by nikon team…
