How I get PIN SHARP PHOTOS from front to back

  • If you are anything like me you probably wondered how photographers got their photos so sharp from the foreground to background of the image. In this first video from my chasing volcanoes series in Iceland I discuss how I focus and use DOF, apps and when to focus stack.

    The amount of work you put into your B-roll and establishing shots is incredible. To run ahead and put the camera and then head back to capture you walking or driving would add so much time to the trip but it’s so worth it for us the viewers. Thank you!

    Nigel, I thought I knew all this so wasn’t expecting to learn much but as it was you I clicked on the video anyway. Thank you for a very entertaining 20 minutes while I have my Sunday breakfast and I did learn more. It must have taken you ages to scout and plan all this out. Plus of course the editing. The combination of your drone videos, explanations and photos are top drawer. It doesn’t get better than this. Oh wait, . . . the next video!

      Depends what you are going to do with the photo. I doubt you would enlarge a photo with a blurred foreground. I imagine if you are blowing up the photo to huge professional sizes, like I imagine he is doing, this is probably the technique to use?

    Thanks Nigel. I've been struggling with focus for a while. Knew it all in the past, but my M.E. causes memory issues. This was a great reminder and clear guide as to what to do. I had pbotopills already but on a tablet that never comes with me. Now on my phone and will be used when filming my next vlog.

    I am mainly a flower photographer (amateur), and want to do some landscapes. I live in Arizona which is very photogenic no matter where I look. This video is exactly what I need. So far, focus has been hit or miss. Now I can't wait to get out there trying to use what you've taught us here. Thank you!

  • @tdw4675
    @tdw4675 3 роки тому +1

    Great video Nigel, amazing scenery and some great practical scenarios to demonstrate all the technical focusing stuff using Pills. I find the hyperfocal table in Pills to be very useful as a quick reference - just navigate to find where the x and y axis meet, and you can pick AR to show where the minimum focus point is. Takes out all the jargon and complexity. Look forward to your next production - keep up the great work!

  • @digitaliphotography
    @digitaliphotography 3 роки тому +2

    I used hyperfocal focussing all the time back in film days, carrying a sheet of paper around with all my lens settings and checking for every shot. It was impossible to focus stack 35mm slides! But I thought it was a lost art since the advent of digital and photoshop focus stacking. Glad you showed this. It's always better to get it right in camera.

    Shocking realisation in this video. I was always thinking that you had your wide-angle lens horizontal for these amazing shots with a foreground/background sharp landscape. When I saw you focussing down toward the flowers, it just made sense immediately but I'd never seen it done before. Thank you...that was such an aha moment. I swear you have just changed my photography for the better.

    Thank you for this tutorial, Nigel. I constantly have issues with focusing and focus stack more than I probably need to. The issue for me is when I am trying to use my 10 stop ND filters to slow down the water in the waterfall, while also including a small subject in the near distance. I have the PhotoPills app, but did not understand the fact that doubling the HFD would help a lot. I’m going to try this next time. Thanks again.
