    Awesome video.
    Keep that shutter speed higher for sharp images too. If you have to stop down, and hold a higher shutter speed (1/250 + etc) then just let the ISO go a little higher. It’s fine. It’s better to have a sharp image at a higher ISO than a blurry image at ISO 100... 👍

    • @dansteinbok7955
      @dansteinbok7955 3 роки тому +10

      You can also underexpose and recover in post to keep the ISO from adding too much noise when you have a great shutter speed. You can't deliver noisy photos.

    • @Seitenwerk
      @Seitenwerk 3 роки тому +15

      @@dansteinbok7955 But be careful as underexposing will lead to noise even in ISO 100. I have seen that a lot recently even with a well exposed image. I would not recommend underexposing for that reason.
      I saw a video of a landscape photographer recently who said he will tend to overexposed instead of underexposed contradictory of what you might hear often. The reason is that highlights can be easier restored than people think while shadows tend to show noise which may not be recovered without loosing a lot of details and quality.

    • @wesjones6370
      @wesjones6370 2 роки тому +2

      @@Seitenwerk I've found that also. I think a lot of these tips get taken as gospel for all systems, but it really comes down to the camera. With my Sony, I know that I can recover highlights much easier than bring back shadows. I used to underexpose as per the advice when starting out....I've found that actually doesn't help at all. I'd rather have an even level of grain in the image than just noisy shadows too...and as for being able to bring up exposure in post to avoid noise, you can also use the same tools to reduce noise. So it really comes down to one's tools, and their expertise with them.

    I think this is the first one I've seen (and I've watched a lot) that doesn't just parrot the same things like aperture and shutter speed. Sure, you have to address these, but you also expanded on other factors that will affect the picture.

    Thank you for another great video, your techniques and tips are brilliant! I learnt the hard way that focus is not always accurate-I shot a wedding where many of the photos were slightly out of focus. The camera was near new second hand 5DIV. When I sent it away for repair, they found the Auto Focus Sensors were dirty. Now it locks on to subject very well, even using through the lens focusing. I know Mirrorless AF would be better, but I'm a long way from affording that! It's easy to test each lens at all apertures in 1/3 stop increments by using a tripod and then assessing at 100% on the computer. I know the safest wide aperture for all my lenses, it helps to reduce chance of soft images. Thanks again, your content is very helpful.

  • @eliaspap8708
    @eliaspap8708 2 роки тому +1

    Good point. Focus is always your nemesis, im always pushing the limits with shallow depth vs Sharpness but even more importantly is the lighting on the faces. Especially in deep shade or in these tree bush environments, sometimes depends which way the light is coming in, its not always flattering and a big reflector is really handy especially for those closeups. another option is sometimes i bring in an off camera flash with a softener to help with contrasty natural light.

    A movie comes to mind while watching this, The Wedding Singer. There's a scene in there where Adam Sandler's character screams "Something I've should have been told yesterday". Or in my case three weeks ago for an event shoot(my first and non paid) where I shot everything wide open. Images came out ok and the client was satisfied. But I should have known. Chalk it up to being nervous.
