I’m not a photographer but that was very interesting Robert. You’re the man. Have a great week.
Wow Mike, not a photographer yet you stuck through the exciting world of "f-stops" Thank you sir !!
@@robertwhite-photography In watching your videos I had always wondered what those numbers meant. Now I know. Thank you for explaining. You are a great teacher. 👍
Thank you Robert, I am a new subscriber, I think I was number 200. I am not a photographer, although I want to start photographing and videoing my riding trips. Hoping to learn a little so I can figure out what to start with.
Grey Wolf, welcome. If you want to start videoing your rides the best place to start is with an action camera like GoPro or AcePro. Both are great action cameras with AcePro edging GoPro based on its ability to film in low light. Thank you for watching and subscribing !!
@@robertwhite-photography Thank you for the advice.
Wouldn't the f stop change with the subject? For example, in a park taking a shot of the marry-go- round spinning. Different from you dollar on the pool table..... say a grouping of balls on that table, sort of spread out on the table . I'm not a photographer i have taken a class many years ago. What i would do is a higher f stop for the pool table to draw focus onto the ball that i would want to draw your attention too. In the park, a lower f stop to allow the merry-go-round to be the center, but the park background to be part of the photo. I could be very wrong. 😂
@@spotdude77 wow let’s unpack all of that… the f-stop or aperture setting only controls the amount of light coming thru the lens and how deep your field of focus is. A larger f number (smaller hole) creates a deep field of focus, that’s why F11 is so often used by landscape photographers… but to your point, if you want to draw the attention to a particular item in your photo, opening up that aperture will create a paper thin plane of focus to which you can pinpoint on that item. Thanks for watching !!
