    Thank you for the lighting tips. I rarely ever do portraits, but even when I do, it's of myself. I suppose now is a good time to get better at taking portraits of myself. My two favorite primes, that I own, are a 50mm f/1.8D,and a 60mm Micro f/2.8D, so I will start with those.

    @4;06 Most kit lenses are on average f3.5-f5.6 so using f8 is more of the sweet spot of many lenses! I feel like using f8 was slightly misleading.
    Still good advice

    • @thatjordandrake
      @thatjordandrake 4 роки тому

      A lot of people shooting with just the kit lens will have APS-C cameras, so we thought shooting at F8 gives a good approximation to the DOF most crop shooters will have with kit lenses.

    I was thinking of buying a decent speedlight although they are so expensive but then I need to carry an umbrella and a light stand and then light attachment to soften and spread the light which cost more and is not practical for casual family photography.
