Through animation, I explain various aspects of focal length, from the principle of the subject, to crop factor, and finally the different classifications of lenses.
________________________________________________________________________________________________
I am releasing animations once every month. This animation was a bit late, because I decided to compose in 8K and then scale it down for some reason, and After Effects threw me a loop so it ended up only in 1080p anyway. These videos take me about 20-30 hours to make, from start to finish. If you have any constructive criticism, put it in the comments, and leave suggestions as to what subjects you would like me to cover in the future.

I never saw any photography video on UA-cam could explain so much information in such simple clear efficient way with such fantastic stunning animation! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
@@ApalapseI’m very grateful as well. The information is delivered so efficiently I had to pause several times and go back. There’s no fluff, I love it!
I walked away with a good understanding and without the headache of feeling overwhelmed. Many thanks.
Thank you sir.
Continuing what I've said in the Aperture video... DUDE: on 0:34 can you please explain how is that nobody use such clear and obvious image to explain the angle of view? You just rock, man.
Justo Alejandro Gonzalez THAT WAS MY FAVORITE PART!!
Your animation art is absolutely beautiful, coupling that with the detailed yet understandable explanations and your videos are amazing. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks man!
Couldn't agree more! Very helpful and easy to understand.
@@Th3Abel Thanks!
i guess im randomly asking but does anybody know a trick to log back into an instagram account?
I was dumb forgot the login password. I would love any tips you can give me!
@Aron Nathan instablaster =)
Excellent explanation without showing a single shot or camera lens like many other channels do, yet very informative and easy to understand
Short, brief, and clear. I love the way you present this. Thank you for your share.
You are a PRO! Please keep these coming!
This animation is so helpful I cannot express that enough. I always come back to this video when I get confused about focal lengths. 0:38 is by far the best graphic for describing this!
Thank you so much for your feedback. I am genuinely uplifted when I hear stories like your's. Stay tuned for more videos coming soon.
Thanks a lot for the extremely intuitive and very simple explanations for the focal length. This is the first time I have got the actual impact of focal length
I've looked all over for this answer. Every video promises to "explain" camera lenses, but NONE of them explain exactly what the numbers mean - except this one. I'm not one of those people who takes words on faith - I want to KNOW what things mean so that I know how they work.
Thanks for giving me that info.
Thanks, John. What you said sums up exactly what I thought when I started out in photography; everyone was telling me to believe this or that, but I wanted to know the hard science and truth behind things; that's what led me to create this channel. Thanks for the feedback and I'm glad I am delivering on my promise to provide straightforward and factual content. Take care.
New to Photography and just found your channel. The graphics and animation is amazing along with the demystifying explanation. Absolutely well done. That Focal Length and Field Of View animation at 0:36 and its explanation has hands down got to be the most concise explanation I’ve ever seem represented. So good I decided to subscribe.
That's awesome to hear, man. I really appreciate the kind words and feedback. Happy to have you on board and stay tuned for more coming soon.
this helped me so much. ive been trying to understand these aspects of photography for so long and this is the best video ive ever seen. it taught me about more than just focal length. thakns for going in detail about them and making it easy to understand. thank you.
This is the best photography lesson you will find on UA-cam!!!
Thank you for the kind words!
This was AWESOME well explained and illustrated.......THANK YOU !
Great video!Simple and on point. And with the animation is much much easier to remember💯
Thank you! You are a amazing teacher and your have designed this video so well. Brilliant work!
What a great way to explain these concepts! Love this tutorial 👏
You deserve more than 10 million subscribers, your explanation is easy to understand which corresponds well with animation
These are some of the best basic photography videos I have seen. Real clear and easy to follow. It doesn't do much good to study shooting techniques and advanced features if your not clear on the basic concepts; these videos really cleared up some misconceptions and some confusion for me so I now can move on to more advanced concepts. Thank you very much.
Thank you, Jesse. I'm glad I could help.
Honestly the best explanation I've found on the topic as I'm just beginning, other just start throwing the numbers around without really explaining too much about it, also the physics interpretation at the start really helped me understand why longer focal lengths would look the furthest and make objects look close together (rays are almost parallel at that point it's like isometric view)
Thank you for the praise, I really appreciate it!
This channel is going to blow up
:O
Simply fantastic. So well put and well explained. The best that I have come across, on the given topic.
Thanks!
Finally someone explaining it so clearly! Thanks

Honestly this is one of the best videos i have seen on this topic and explained this in a while understood. I had multiple aha moments of now i understsnd that.
Amazingly explained video about 'Focal Length'. Cleared some basic concepts with this video!
Thank you for the feedback. I'm glad I could help.
Perfect explanation with great animations.
Thank you for making and sharing an explicit and easy to understand photographic lens video.
You are very welcome. I enjoy explaining these photography concepts so to hear your kind words really means a lot.
Why am I only coming across these videos now!?? They're amazing! Definitely recommending them to friends and family
Mark, that's great to hear. Stay tuned for more in the coming months.
Apalapse, I would like to thank you for this video of yours. I love the section about your explanation of the APS-C and the Full-frame camera. Now I know how to calculate the focal length of my lens when I mount them on my APS-C camera.
I'm glad you liked it! The only thing I should say is that when you switch from full frame to APS-C, the focal length itself does not change, it's only the field of view. This is just a semantics issue mostly but it's important to remember since a lot of people think that when they switch bodies the focal length of the lens also changes, making it a different lens... When you multiply the focal length by the crop factor you are just saying that on the smaller-sensor camera the lens has a new field of view of ____, since focal length is the distance from nodal point to the sensor it will never change regardless of the camera you attach it to. I just wanted to articulate this in case it helps you or anyone else. Thanks for commenting and take care!
Very straightforward and succinct description and explanation. Well done!
Thank you.
love the hard work, it's elegant, informative and time-sparing. every sentence is important, no fill here. thanks for the effort.
thanks, appreciate the kind words!
This is the best video I've ever watched.
Great video! Thank you!
Totally agreed with this video... I learned most of basic and advance information's... I can't get it clearly from my friends.. But with your help.. I get more n more.. Thanks!
I'm glad I can help!
Very nice video. Thanks for clearing my concepts
Clear illustrations and well explained. Good job !
thanks!
This was an easy to understand, informative video on focal length that i'm glad i found so i can understand all of this camera mumbo jumbo
I'm glad it was helpful! I try and make the videos striaght to the point with simple terms so that everyone can understand. Thanks for the feedback and good luck with your photography.
Best explanation on UA-cam
Superb detailed video.Great work

Thanks!
Easy to understand explanation - thank you for putting this together!
Thank you for the kind words and you are very welcome. I enjoy putting together these videos and helping other photographers understand important concepts.
Thank you very much for brief and wonderful expansion, it was easy to understand this confusing matter.
You're very welcome!
This was the only video I could find on UA-cam that actually explained how lenses and their numbers work technically. One nitpick: in the list of drawbacks of zoom lenses it didn't mention that zoom lenses lose aperture stops with increased zoom.
Thank you for the kind words and the feedback. The only thing about zoom lenses is that not all zoom lenses have variable apertures, but many do.
what a great video! a 5 minutes masterclass... congratulations!!
Thanks so much!
This guy is an amazing visual teacher.
I've been exhausting myself trying to find videos (and books) i could understand.You are heaven sent, you have answered my prayers!
Thank you for teaching in easy way
This was really informative. And to think I knew exactly what focal length was and how it affected photos...

Your video's are awesome - have always left camera on Auto - Now retired with time on my hands so trying to do a little better. Read a few things, saw some videos but after seeing this channel, the fog is really lifting. Thanks so much !
I'm really glad that you found this video helpful. I hope you are able to find the time to learn manual mode, the process of shooting manual is a great way to really learn how your camera works. Let me know if you need any more help or have any suggestions for future videos. Take care!
I watched a dozen videos, but did not fully understand until I saw this. Thanks!

I just watched a video from a guy with 900k subscribers. He scribbled on an electronic drawing screen to explain these concepts but his explanation couldn't have been more confusing! Then I come here and watch an extremely SIMPLE to understand explanation with VERY good diagrams. Your video was ten times as good as his! Thank you! Liked and Subscribed!!!
Thanks so much, I really appreciate that! I try to be as simple and straightforward as possible so I don't waste anyone's time and so only the necessary information is communicated.
gosh -- someone broke this down in simple terms and made it easy to watch. thank u!! ur living HEPPily ;)
Haha! Thanks for the kind words. My goal is always to try and break complicated concepts down into easy-to-understand tidbits. I'm glad you found that in this video, thanks for watching, friend! Take care and live HEPPily.

Very helpful. Thank you.
You're welcome!
Yes I learned. Thank you
Good to hear! Thanks for watching.
Amazing definition Sir 👌
Thanks a ton
Having the same effective focal length and actual focal length does not mean the focal lengths are equal, only that the image they produce has similar dimensions. Having 50mm lens on a cropped sensor still obeys the lens equation physics of 50mm lens, it just gets cropped down.
Explained very nicely
Thanks a lot
Cannot thank you enough,
Made my day.
Thank you, that's great to hear!
sir ur teachings are awesome ......
Thank you!
These are great!
