  1. 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?

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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!

  5. 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.

  6. 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.
