what is the best DSLR camera for photography ONLY under $500 (max is $600)
background noise is too much high!!!
This video is more exposed than a rapist's genitals in a park at 1 AM!
I've never imagined that F/22 would look so badly focused. I'll be sure not to go further away than f/11… If f/22 looks so bad, certainly f/16 won't be satisfying either.
I have tried this method and still can not get my entire photo in focus.
D90
Nikon 18-105 3.5-5.6 Lens was about 24mm
F/8
125
Iso 200
Help?
That was a lot of info?
This is the best channel for photo tips that I stumble on Youtube!
Very good tips and technique, in a non-too-technical way we can understand! The last tips were especially useful, and the video length/presentation was spot-on. Thank you!
Was applying this method for some times… I needed a verification that I'm doing it right and your video cleared my doubts! ? Thanks
so this method is only for manual focus correct?
Why is it when I shoot in live view, and focus a third into the frame, my foreground element will be in focus, but my background will be out of focus, even if stopped down? But if I shoot the same subject just through my viewfinder everything is in focus? I guess the camera focuses differently from liveview vs viewfinder?
That dance was on point, great explanation by the way. Other tutorials are way complicated yet you explained it with language I can understand.
I gotta say thank you for this channel. I just recently bought a DSLR and Ive learned so much from this channel in the short month I've had the camera. Cheers!
I love all the intros to your videos! But seriously I've picked up amateur photography and these lessons are so helpful! I literally open a word document and take notes!
Great tip that's easy to implement. Thanks.
love all your videos! funny…and yet very informative!
This is very helpful. Thank you very much!
i have jus bought a sony DSC H400 cameraa how can i take blur pic wd it plzz help me
can u help me plzzz
My camera doesn't allow for zooming in Live View 🙁
How would I adjust this if I don't have a focus ring on my lens?
Are you going to make the focus stacking video?
Great tutorial by the way.
thx that was really helpful, especially since i own a Nikon. never realised this about liveview. and as others have previously said you don't go on about off topic things.
bro,i hve seen many videos on youtube but majority of them are complicated and not explanatory but you my brother are the best ,your videos are great ,explanatory,short and crisp…really love all your videos …thanks bro,,,,keep up the good work.
Thing is… It chews battery like crazy.
Cant hear properly because of background noise and video seems all washed out … could I say badly filmed?
View the screen on a sunny day is a challenge. They sell "shade" it helps.
PLEASE USE A wireless mic with a win screen. Your knowledge is good but the audio is poor.
WHERE IN THE WORLD ARE YOU JOSHUA…NICE SCENIC BACKGROUNDS ALL THE TIME..
cheers 🙂
thank you for making this understandable for ANYONE…and leaving out all of the super complicated Hyperlocal jargon…
U need a better microphone 🙂
The ISO in this video is too damn high!
ah…Candy from a baby.
I cant find the focus stacking video :/
but hey thanks for the tips!
It's the best tutorial i found! Nice job and thanks
In film days they had depth of field gauges on the lenses. You could know the depth of field at the various f/stops of the lens by looking down at the lens. It would sync with the focus ring on the camera and show that everything between "x" and "y" would be in focus at this focal length. Change the focal length and you changed the depth of field. It was a much easier system to use back in the day.
this is what i like at this guy:
1. he's aint bla bla to much.
2. In 5 min he explains much more then some guys bla bla blaaa in 20min video's terrorizing us with their stupid stories.
3. Very understandable videos
4. He is FUNNY!!!
Subscribe to you SIR!
can you try out the Nikon coolpix L840?
I like your landscape photos, I'm in to landscape by the way 🙂
A really nice effect, is to use a wide aperture, and create separate exposures so that you have the foreground in focus, and the background, but the middle ground is slightly out of focus. This creates a really gorgeous photo, depending on your subjects.
using a mirrorless 2x crop sensor. i wonder if this method applies exactly the same. your videos are great btw ive been watching all night. landscapes arent my thing but occasionally i see a shot and im like 'errr wtf do i do now?'! your videos hit a nice sweet spot between the total noob i feel like ive left behind and the experienced confident photographer i want to be. subbed.
You're so funny!
Hi Josh!! I am new to photography but super eager to learn. Your videos are great!!! What camera do you suggest for a beginner? Do you have a preference Nikon vs Canon?
Do you take the photo in LV mode? or will it be still the same when u go back to viewfinder?
Also, why does it take much longer to open and close shutter in LV ? than in VF?
Haha lovely dance! Great tutorial, Josh!
Hey I found you LOL. I canceled my last channel and made a new channel for photography, Hope you keep your videos coming, thanks.
congratulations from Italy Joshua !!!!
