I was watching this video and doing some aviation photography at the same time, and managed to take wayyy sharper photos than it was before. Thanks so much for this!
@@jrbionic404 I followed the part about Servo AF and used that in my camera along with zone AF and I've noticed a huge difference, give that a shot and see how you go. also turn on manual focus peaking in the menu. that will help show in MF mode if you are in focus :) hope it helps
Kurze Verschlusszeit ist wichtiger als niedrige ISO. Die Kamera richtig halten oder ein Stativ verwenden. Fokus überprüfen. Linse sauber machen. Die Blende darf nicht zu hoch oder zu niedrig gewählt werden.
Anthony has been my Saviour!🙏 as someone who only started shooting a few months ago, my photos and editing have exponentially gotten better from using his tips and tricks. It’s also super cool that I used to go to church with him and his fam!🤘 I’m sure I’m not the only one who appreciates the knowledge. Keep It coming!
7:30 I love how your camera proved your point about nailing the autofocus lol. Thank you for this video, I needed the reminder to go back to the basics.
I think the aperture comment was one of the more low key fun facts about sharpness... especially for lower end glass, the mid range aperture usually has sharper images. You'll often hear pros talk about getting some of the sharpest pics at f7-f11 range. Super advanced, some landscape guys like FOCUS STACKING to get all depth ranges of their photos sharp and in focus rather than doing something like shooting F22 let's say to get as much in focus/sharp as we can.
Good point. I notice the 50mm f1.2 for example has great sharpness at the lowest aperture compared to the 50mm f2 which definitely cleans up closer to f2.8
@@AnthonyGugliotta I definitely notice the 15-35 f2.8 we like have end to end sharpness compared to some mid to entry level wide I’ve used previously which were soft by comparison at the end ranges
Hi from Montreal! I just love your contents, I've been following you since the beginning of my journey a year ago... You are one of the reason why I got good so quick! I have binge watch your videos!
I have had to learn about also lens calibration, I realized one of my lenses back focused a lot, and at Fuel Fest I had to manual focus the whole day, but luckily asides from a few hiccups, all my photos were sharp manually focusing
Great video I really enjoy and appreciate the way you take the time to explain things and how they work and how they affect your photos I hope you make some more videos like this one awesome job thank you 😊
I am a beginner and my biggest focus problem was not knowing the limitations of my budget lenses. Take the Canon 75-300mm f/4-5.6 for instance. Focal lengths above 200mm will be out of focus. f/11 is the sharpest aperture up to f/16 is usable.
Key part of bracing for stability is having the camera shoved into your face. Push that eye into the viewfinder! Don’t take photos off the LCD unless you really need to.
Hey Anthony can you show me what is your permanent settings to the Sony a7iii when shooting portrait mode like family photos/maternity shoots and model shoots? Thank you!!
most think that by getting the latest equipment, their images will become magical ...... I still shoot with my old Canon 1DX MK III and the shots are magical ......
And if you need to use tripod then use it..don't always try to get everything handheld. You can also lean to something like tree or rock or something to reduce your body movement (like shooting with sniper). for example: sometimes if you take photos in the forest get tripod and take multiple photos (while focusing on different trees) and stack them together and you get pretty amazing results.. Image will be much sharper. Same with macro shots..
One of the tips is not correct in general. the tip that says raising f-stops a little bit to get a sharper photo may correct for cheap lenses like EF 50mm f1.8 that get the sharpest photos in f3.5 or f4 but we have newer lenses that are generally created to be sharpest in the lowest f-number. I know that you know this, maybe someone else read this comment and learned something🙃 I really liked this video, I appreciate it.
First of all Anthony I really really love your videos, keep up the phenomenal content, but regarding iso, my canon 250d is terrible at ISO, yeah, the absolute barebone limit is 1600, and ofcourse that has ton of noise, and yeah mirrorless cameras nowadays just produce such nice quality photos, and are amazing at high Iso's like 5000
One thing to note is that you shouldn't over-crop your photos or it may affect to your image quality (sharpness as well). If you consistently find yourself needing to crop 20-30%, you need to rethink your gear, technique, or subjects. Sometimes cropping is necessary (e.g., in wildlife photography), but it should never be relied upon. When taking images of stationary subjects, you can always take a moment to think before capturing the shot.
Thank you Anthony for this fantastic video. Do you have preset also for Luminar Neo and not just for Adobe Lightroom? Have a great weekend. Greetings from Switzerand 🙂
Ok so quick, my r7 is 32 megapixels, what’s the basic rule then for setting my shutter speed? As I didn’t really get what you were saying about not following the 2x focal length. PLEASE help
@@AnthonyGugliotta LOL and I went to upgrade the firmware and though I'm doing something wrong or you got a feature to test before it comes out to public. Anyways, looove your content!
I noticed people that don't put camera up to eye but us back screen are women or men with a Girley attitude...Sorry I just call them like I see them...LMAO
A photographer from west Africa 🌍 GHANA ...your videos has help me alot❤❤❤❤
Holding that camera and lense over the rail with no lanyard takes balls💪
The most comprehensive video talking about sharpness and all the attributing factors I've seen! Great info, AG!

Ive had my M50 for nearly 3 years now and now just realized I can get even better shots. thank you for this video!
☺️
That’s awesome! How? I just got one too and wondering what you are doing differently now.

The first time I've seen a photographer have a shooting tip from weightlifting, love it!
Breath iiiiiin. Beath ouuuuuut! :)
“buying a new camera can’t help you” ok bro the thing is my camera has a third of those auto modes, no subject tracking, and no internal IS 💀💀
I own a A7II and just got a 24-70mm GMii f/2.8 I feel like the body is a bit lacking to the lens 😅
@@XxTRUEPINOYxX14I was just about to but the a1🤦🏿♂️
@@meshadoesstuff im not the best photographer. But I take pictures when I can. Looks good imo

Apeture, on some lenses, especially budget ones I think, when lowered can give an image more sharpness…

Yo! Great video. I guessed correctly regarding the CPL. Your video has me thinking it’s time to add a CPL to my arsenal 🙏🙏🙏
You definitely earned my loyal sub, this channel is gold.
Even though I know all those tips already, you guys shot such a cool , informative, well acted/directed video. Truly creative, Thx!

Your friend just nodding alongside you, staring at the camera, while you talk lol 😅
Quite impressive, I would love a tutorial on how to shoot Moon pictures and night sky photos on a DSLR, any guidance would be valuable
7:25 - there's something funny about Out of Focus Anthony emphasizing importance of mastering Autofocus
The way of your teaching skills🫡💯
We're all just going to ignore the tremendous effort put forth by the photo bomber in the background? He's a riot. Oh and the tips were solid too. :)

I do my best 🕺

I was bit a confused at start but I was correct that the shot was take using a CPL
Thanks a lot
Awesome video! ... been watching your content for so long but Canon still has not fixed the Ibis wobbles xD
Bro putting that camera carelessly over the edge of that high balcony gave me the heebejeebies, bro please stop.
Great Video!
Shooting (guns or I guess cameras) you dont hold your breath. You shoot at the slight pause between exhale and inhale.
Saw château Frontenac and said, hey, that's my town
Is this on an R5C, I cannot see The Ai focus or the Auto auto focus on my R5 and it says I am on the latest Firmware 🤔
Same on r5 latest firmware
Does all of this info apply to a Nikon?
😏
i miss the event😢
Is this a place school in theory of everything movie? 😅
Do you have your custom lut available?
Woah! Where did the AI Autofocus setting come from? I'm shooting with the R5 on the latest firmware and I don't have that option!!
Had to correct myself in another comment, I was holding the R6mkii, the R5 doesn't have AI focus.
The duck is freaking me out😅
It's a bit big isn't it
Hey, Anthony. what firmware version are you using? I don't have the ai servo function (I'm using 1.7.0 version)
Slight correction... that view I showed is from the back of the R6mkii (The Canon R5 does not have the AI focus mode)
@@AnthonyGugliotta LOL and I went to upgrade the firmware and though I'm doing something wrong or you got a feature to test before it comes out to public. Anyways, looove your content!

What camera are you using?!?!??!?!?!?!?!
My lens is a broke. Auto fucos no more. I repair now is a manual no auto fucos. 😢
