Focal Length Explained! Why does it MATTER?

Күн бұрын

Focal length is a very important concept in Photography and Videography. Focal length affects the distortion, perspective, compression and depth of field. In this 'Focal Length Explained! Why does it MATTER?' video, I cover all the basic things you need know about focal length.

I'm trying to understand the results of pushing vanishing points to different extremes in drawing and I found this somewhat helpful. Understanding compression as a result of how close vanishing points are to one another will help me when setting up vanishing points to start and plan a piece.

Thanks this really helps a lot. I am trying to get into microstock and learning this really helps, as well as the math at the beginning. It made me happy to hear that you are a landscape photographer and that you use a higher focal length because I currently only have one lens (prime, 35mm, but my camera is 2x crop factor, so 70mm). Thanks again.

@ You r absolutely right that's why I suggested alternate source of light. Ideally no matter what you do photography needs lighting.. I'm a professional photographer. If lighting isn't there camera will require higher ISO, I'm afraid no other option is there. Or you speedlight with your camera, the response I have seen is amazing if you know how to go bounce flashlight the output will be like you have not used Flashlight at all.

Thanks for the video. You might want to mention, as well, what compression can do to human facial features; so the need for checking on that re distance from your subject when using various focal length lenses for portraits so you don't distort people's faces (however subtle, or not, that distortion can be).

Hi! Dear nice video. Just want to modify one thing that when we use 200 mm we won’t get more depth of field but that is called shallow depth of field.yeah thats true that we’ll get more blurr but that is called shallow depth of field.More or Deep depth of field is when we use a wider lens or increase the f-Stop.
