Thank you so much for watching!
0:31 lens
might be dirty
1:14 filters might be affecting focus
2:00 lens just not that sharp, especially if vintage
3:55 aperture, f-stop too low
5:34 camera motion blur
7:08 subject motion blur
7:53 focal length affecting motion blur
8:41 the focus settings might not be right for the scene
haha, just exited.
2:52 Most lenses are sharpest between f11 and f8 and in some rare cases f5.6. When she's babbling about f2.8 and f2 to achieve sharpness she unveils how completely clueless she is.
@@UA-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too No, not really and you did not watched video carefully or just focused on first half of the sentence. Julia is talking about using f/2.0 or f/2.8 over wider apertures (like f/1.8 or f/1.4) because lenses are sharper and have wider focus range WHILE it still offers nice out of focus background, not making everything in focus and, in result, "flat" photo.
@@Stasiek_Zabojca
Your explanation isn't the least satisfying. Things usually begin to happen from f8 through f11. If sharpness is needed background blur can only be achieved in post. And no, I don't watch the whole video after a fatality early on. There's a limit to my patience with clueless and stupid.
@@Stasiek_Zabojca Yes this is what I am talking about if they bothered to listen to the entire sentence ;)
I love her accent… “shaapa” “capchaa” “chapness” “shap” “auta focas” “na da shap” don’t take it the wrong way, it’s cute 😂
Down bad 😂
@@MattWoulph down bad? What does that mean lol
Don't get out much?
Bruh 😏💕
absolutely perfect for my ears... pilsen, czech rep, middle europe... to be honest, many britain and us speakers are hard to understand by foreign...
Had to come on here to say that I used these tips for a client shoot this week and the photos came out INCREDIBLE. May be my best portraits I've ever taken. The bokeh you get from these settings is buttery smooth and everything looks beautiful.
That's awesome to hear! Glad you enjoyed :D
it's pretty iffy if you're taking money for photos and you needed a you tube video to sharpen up your images, so before this you've been taking money for sub par images
I'm an non-English speaker and I really like your explanations. So easy to understand, clear pronunciation, and I don't need to use the caption.
Thank you!
You make learning about photography really accessible and easy to understand. I really appreciate your ability to show examples in your videos. Thank you!
There are 2 more reasons why photos becomes blurry: 1. using optical stabilization, 2. not using optical stabilization :-)
1. When camera is mounted on tripod - always turn off optical stabilization. Otherwise built-in stabilization into camera (eg used by me Sony A7RIV) will slightly shift the sensor. If long exposure is used together with long focal length - taken picture will become completely blurred. This is why old Sony A99 has built in tripod detection and automatically can turn off stabilization. The most modern A7RIV can't do it. Amazing! Isn't it?
2. When camera is hand held always use optical stabilization. Long exposure times and long focal lengths are your enemy. Good quality optical stabilization results sharp pictures even if exposure time is 4-stops longer.
I’m really excited to dive deeper into this video. My images are almost always sliiighly out of focus or grainy (even with a low ISO) and it was driving me crazy
Excellent advice! My colleagues who shoot red carpet with me suggested continuous focus. I started using it and with great results. Thanks again.
Love your advice and your smile .thanks
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you for your hard work!
Thank you. You are truly a pleasure to listen to and learn from. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you so much for your calm and detailed sample explanations.
Great reasons to be thinking about. Thank you!!
Super helpful, and cohesive delivery! Thank you for this. Also, you have a great smile!
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing those tips!
This video was so helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤🫶
Thank you so much . The way you’ve explained has been more than helpful! I appreciate your style and explanation
Thank you so much for your free advice, I'm just abt to start rekindling my love for photography and this is very helpful! All your videos!
She can explain it so well! Thank you so much! I love learning from you and your accent is awesome! 😁
Thanks Julia, I feel your channel will help my photography.
This was so helpful! One of the best videos on the subject. Thank you!
simple but very helpful, thanks!!
Thank you for the tips! That was really cool to see the shot from Half Dome! I have a shot from that same exact spot except I shot the reflection off the water and then rotated it to the proper orientation. Keep up the great work and you've gained another follower, Cheers.
Thanks for explaining this. I am going to try what you said.
You are the best, thank you very much for this video!
I use crop bodies and full frame. Due to sensor limitations in lower light, the apsc sensor tries to bump iso leading to noise, or lengthen shutter speed leading to subject motion blur, even with “wide aperture“ APSC f1.4 lenses. I find I either have to increase ambient light, add a flash, or stick to full frame wider aperture lenses in more challenging light. Harder to push limits with crop system.
My girl! Your explanations are powerful! Thanks a lot 👍🏽
wow, i am totally blown away with the level of detail, not only in the photos shown, but your explanation and the information!! ive just bought a used panasonic Lumix DMC TZ80/ZS60 travel zoom camera as i want to get into photography, and i have found that the majority of my photos have a level of blur or distortion to them, and i really want to move away from setting the dial to auto and just snapping away. i will watch this video over a few times more in the coming days, so i can hopefully prepare myself with knowledge for when the weekend arrives and i head out (hopefully with the tripod i have ordered) to some local places to get some photos taken. thank you for taking the time to put this video together to help people like me! love from the UK!
Very helpful! I like videos like these who uses real examples instead of just explaining in words! ❤
This was SO informative. Thank you so much! ❤
That sounds like a highly informative video! Getting sharp photos is such an important aspect of photography, and it's great that there's content out there addressing common challenges. Learning about the factors that affect sharpness can really take someone's photography skills to the next level. Whether it's about understanding camera settings, mastering focus techniques, or even exploring how lighting can impact clarity, there's always something new and exciting to discover in the world of photography! 📸✨
This works. Recommended to try this out. Thanks a lot for your help
This is by far the most in depth video I've seen on the subject of not so sharp photos.
Thought this was an instant subscribe and just when I was about to do just that, I found out that I am already a subscriber. Nice.
What a breathe of fresh air. Thank you for being you and the way you have done this was so good and to the main point understandable. So as I listened to you I subscribed as this is how good you are. Thank you so much for a great presentation.
Love your content and the knowledge you impart
Very helpful video with some simple common sense bits that even some of us shooting for awhile forget about.
Love your accent!!! Thanks for awesome info keep it up! 👍🏼
Thank you so much for sharing, lots of useful information explained simply and easy to put into practice. It looks like you have a lot of fun naking the videos as well. Thanks for sharing!
I love your channel... all clear & nice english, easy to understand around all world... and finally great photographer with open mind, good luck and keep sharing your knowledge... thx!
Hey Julia, thanks for the video it’s really useful for me and I learned so much more from this video
Another great video Julia!
You are a goddess of photography. In past few days I watched like 20 videos of you. And each one of them was soooooo useful. Thank you so much for shearing your knowledge. 🌹❤️
Ahh thank you so much!
Thank you for the excellent tips!
Thanks you so much Julia for your video.
This was very helpful. Thank you!
You are truly a great asset to we photographers. Many happy thanks!
Simply Superb KNOWLEDGEABLE Video
Excellent! This video is what I needed! ❤️
New subscriber, this is the first video I’m seeing on the channel 😁👌🏾 love it! Keep up the great work
Thanks Julia! This is very useful! :) I like how you clearly explain everything in each video!
Thank you :)
Such a helpful video, thank you!
If I had come across this before it would have helped a lot. It has all the important gotchas in one video! Also, thanks for mentioning canon equivalents as well. In my camera's case AI Servo is just known as Servo. The EOS M line predates the new nomenclature used in the EOS R line.
Thank you 😊. Your videos are among my favorites on UA-cam. For me, a hobbyist, I am more interested in the soulful storytelling aspect of photography. Your explanations inspire that 📸
Thank you so much!
What an helpful video!! Thank you, helped me a lot!! :D
Great content. Good to hear the Sydney accent. It’s amazing how you can still get negative comments with pretty informative non-controversial videos.
I’ll be saving your channel for our schools photography course for next year. Keep up the good work.
You’re amazing! Thank you for this!
She is very knowledgeable. Thanks a bunch for the video!
Thanks for reminding me of some things and teaching me a couple new things. As a 70 year old with slight hand tremors I have been upping the shutter speed but apparently not enough. 😀
Thank you so much for sharing … great tips 🥰
Thanks Julia great tips as always👌
What a pleasant personality! you're a good teacher..
My problem is that my photos are sharp on my camera but as soon as i download them on my phone or computer the quality is a lot worse
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you for this!!
Thanks for your amazing explanation 💙💜
your videos are so good! learning a lot, thx
thanks julia this helped alot, subscribed 💟
Great thoughts. These are basics though. After doing these, editing with edge and high frequency brightness and colour contrast adds tons of sharpness.
Super helpful, thanks!
thank you! really useful tips.
SO! HELPFUL! Ive been shooting portraits & keep thinking Im getting the settings right, but I still have an eye in focus & blurry nose and other eye, and its making me CRAZY! Thank you! (subscribed) ;)
Julia Im watching ur video for a while. You are superb in ur presentation, content timing etc. Not to forget ur pretty smile and excellent camera work with models.
Very insightful, thank you
You are amazing! I love your videos! Thank you!!!!
This is exactly what I need. Thank youuuuuu! :)
Very Informative ,thanks
Your voice is so nice to listen to! Thank you for this information :)
Definitely helped me out thanks❤
Thansks for the info!
After watching your video,I benefited a lot.Although it is simple,it is very practical.
thank for all information you share
Ahhhh Indiarose-Thomas, one of my favourite models to photograph. Nice video. Love your contents. Cheers
Super helpful. I learned a lot.
Thanks Julia!
Some very good tips thanks
Hi Julia thanks for your usefull tips this might help me a lot
Came here randomly, just want to tell you that your way of speaking and smile is simply awesome....
you for the excellent tips Thanks
Like 2 minutes in and you've solved the issues I was having. I didn't realize that box for showing what was going on was there, I didn't
Thank you, Julia. I have resorted to "Auto" for stills and the Olympus does take good Bokeh shots in that mode. However, I will see if my OMD EM 2 Mk 3 has Continuous Autofocus. That was the most important thing I learnt just now.
(I aim to better use the Oly for video, but I am learning that skills in stills shooting will cover most of the problems).

Super helpful!!!
Amazingly detailed. 🙏
so good!! thanks!!!!
God, when it came to that 135mm part, I fell in love all over again 😍
Also, on Nikon cameras it's also called continuous AF (and single AF)
I'm mesmerized by you and i can just sit and watch you talk without blinking it's crazy haha but tks so much about your experience shared !
great video and explanations!
Thanks for the tips :)
Aghhhh. The last tip kills me. As a noob I had no idea about those AI Servo settings. So much to learn. Thank you
Glad you found this helpful!
