Once again a very informative tutorial, I'm approaching 70 have been a photographer for many years, digital is a whole new world to me so I'm constantly re-learning, I like your straight to the point attitude and the way you teach/advise rather than posing for the camera, I also admire the way you hold the camera steady on live view, those days are gone for me :) once again thank you for your expert advice
Pye!!! From a teacher's perspective, this is such a fantastic video....such a fantastic lesson, I've saved it to incorporate into my classroom. Great job, keep doing this type of content video - your explanation was not only clear, with imagery to back up what you are saying, but your approach, tone and method is spot on!
Thank you for your thorough style of teaching and efforts behind it. This is exactly what we need as learners. If we slow down and listen, the road map is all there 🔥🤙🙃
Nice tutorial explaining depth of field with different focal lengths and distances from camera to subject. I like to call the distance between the camera and the subject the focusing distance. The longer that distance, the bigger the depth of field. The shorter the focusing distance, the narrower the depth of field. Thus, as you demonstrate in the video, the closer you get to the subject, the shallower the depth of field.
Good stuff and tip 5 ... call it another bonus is to practice practice practice with each of your lenses so that you become more familiar with all the things you talked about. This can be done while even at home and photographing just about anything and using your tips.
Enjoyed the video, but I would LOVE to see a beginning to end creation of the B&W image at 7:50. Gorgeous shot, but I'd have to idea where to begin or how to finish it in post.
Wow!! When I saw this link I was like composition nah I already know enough about that ! But decided to watch it anyways and this is so different and awesome!! Thanks
I just didn’t get it 2:58 and the picture before as well, how can you shoot 1.4 aperture and still be able to see behind the subject. The depth of field is supposed to be extremely blurry. I am just an amateur and most probably missing something.
nice tuto. so, based on last tips, we can achieve blur background with a 24mm, just by getting closer from subject ? i thought a 24mm gives large depth of field. but what about distorsion of portrait with a 24 or a 35mm ? retoucheable in lightroom ? i always keep in mind we need at least 50-85mm to avoid distorsions of portrait, even 200mm being the best ?
Lovely episode and beautiful work. By the way, I hate the cold and especially shooting in the cold. Can you tell me about those gloves in your Banff segment?
So.... if you have 2 subjects and you want them to be in focus, (I.e a couple) how do you make sure they are both sharp? By increasing the distance between them and the photographer? And depending on the zoom lens? Who do you put your focus on?
Loved the video but I gotta ask...Why don't you hold your camera up to your eye? I would think you could keep the camera much more steady holding up to your eye.
New sub and overly excited to go over the content to aid in developing my skills. I’m trying to learn and search both your channel and search engines for photography terms as I take notes. What is “Focus stacking”
Thanks for this. Why, like everyone else, is shortening camera to subject distance and increasing subject to background not given more prominence - the orher factors are almost irrelevant when you pay attrntion to this fundamental. The IOS app "Simple DoF" is a winderful learning tool to understand this.
This is all so subjective. Some good tips in general, and nobody just wants a snap-shot (camera phone), but creativity is in the hands of the photographer. While I don't disagree with most of the shots in the video, personally, I may have done different, as would a lot of others.
Good rule of thumb is a 1/3 in front and 2/3's behind your focus point. Also depth of field is directly proportional to how far away your focus point is set from your camera. At f1.4 and two miles it will all be all be in focus. Mark Wallace did a much better job of explaining depth of field.
Getting the camera to shoot bright enough when you are shooting into the light, the way you did with your son, is tricky! That's worth a whole video.
Pye, you're the man. You're tutorials are top notch. You can explain complicated subjects with such ease that anyone could understand the material.
Pye used the Indian wedding keyword 'Mandap'. Loved it.
Wow! Unbelievable! You're awesome, man. ❤❤❤❤❤
Excellent as always. So well spoken and very comprehensive. One of the best teachers in the game.
As an amateur photographer, I especially enjoy the "bite size" gems your videos provide. Thank you and Adorama for hosting these.

That wedding photo is so beautiful.
The video sound is pretty good, beyond my imagination
Hey Pye, great video. Thank you and hoping you're safe with your family. Peace!
Love this video! Hope y'all enjoy it!
Always a great video with you Pye! Clear precise and not at 100mile an hour! Love it!

Fantastic video Pye. Thank you 👌🏾
Great video, it taught me a lot on how to achieve depth of field in different situations

Wow! Thank you so much!!! Finally some explained this in a way that is perfectly understandable!!!!
Thank you for the focusing tip about focusing deep into the image! I’ve always been curious about that but never knew how to ask!
Thanks for the advice.
Very informative! Matching images with explanations is a great help!
I agree ! I learnt a lot from this one !
Such a great teacher!
Super content bro 🤠😎
You make life easy
Great explanation and examples. Very helpful. Thanks!
Brilliant!
Another great video! Thank you!
Super informative. Thank you man.
Perfect as always!

Love it Pye, thank you
Great Video !!
Wow!! When I saw this link I was like composition nah I already know enough about that ! But decided to watch it anyways and this is so different and awesome!! Thanks
Cool! So inst impossible 3/4 with f1.4. And f1.4 in crop sensor = f2.8 inthe full frame?
Excellent vid 👌👌
I have no idea how you shoot a close-in portrait at 24mm without distorting the features! I'd love to know how you managed that.
Brilliant thanks for the tips 👍
Really simple and straightforward...Thank you....I need the best recommendation for my D5300 if I want to buy a 24-70mm lens
Nice video. Good tips...

Awesome info!💪🏻🥵
Ur tip always useful when im clicking pic
Lovely video, thanks for always sharing your enormous wealth of knowledge.
How are the blades on the drone still spinning at 1/1000 ??
nice tuto. so, based on last tips, we can achieve blur background with a 24mm, just by getting closer from subject ? i thought a 24mm gives large depth of field. but what about distorsion of portrait with a 24 or a 35mm ? retoucheable in lightroom ? i always keep in mind we need at least 50-85mm to avoid distorsions of portrait, even 200mm being the best ?
Maravilhosas dicas!!!!

Hey man I like this keep doing them
thank you so much for this tips
thank you for putting exif on most pics
Awesome
At about 9 minutes (snowy scene), why aren't you using your lens hood?
Superbe
pretty useful, thanks bro :D
didn't expect to see you shooting in Banff with the hood reversed 😂
Loved the video but I gotta ask...Why don't you hold your camera up to your eye? I would think you could keep the camera much more steady holding up to your eye.

I wrote an essay on my facebook about this same kind of thing last week.
Awesome have you got the link ?

Indian marriage nice
Please laguege in Urdu
I learned nothing.
Hahaha are the simplest and most obvious tricks.
I may differ from many other here. I found this video absolutely annoying. Couldn't make it till the end.
