Maximum aperture and focal length. And, whenever possible, choosing a far background and getting close to the subject. 🙂

@careylymanjones Жыл бұрын

I shoot at my local zoo a lot. Long lens, wide open, get as close to the bars, as I can. Use manual focus, if necessary, to focus on the subject, instead of the bars. Bars go bye-bye. Depth Of Field is not just for blurring backgrounds. Out of focus foreground elements can either be made to disappear, or form a blurred frame for your subject.

@Twobarpsi Жыл бұрын

Having the subject far from the background! This way I can use higher apertures like 5.6 to have the whole subject in focus, with a nice bokeh.

I think the auto modes of today are really good and return usable photos most of the time. No need to go to completely manual most of the times. But it's good to know which values to control for the desired effect and let the auto do the rest. Especially if your motives are not in a controlled environment.

I've been a photographer for many years. I've never had someone demonstrate - verbally and graphically - the relationship between aperture size and depth of field with respect to the steeper angle of the light rays - brilliant. Thanks. Also, I like that you alternately described a thin DOF as "shallow." That word works better for me conceptually, as I suspect it does for others.

Great video as always. Reminds me of when I started photography (not so long ago) and only shot at f1.2 (on crop sensor) because its results felt instantly professional! Recently, I've gone the other way by trying to keep most of each scene in focus (for street shots), which certainly presents additional challenges for composition.

@markusbolliger1527 Жыл бұрын

All points you make are correct, as usual. But even in wildlife photography it is by no means necessary or even wishvoll to always blur the background. There are many means to emphasize the main subject without blurring the background: Light, colour, composition etc. Often it is even desirable to show the habitat of an animal, what makes the image more interesting than a completly isolated animal desplayed in a blurred environment. This summer I had an encounter with a trustingly fox in our Swiss National Park. I therefore was able to photograph it with my wide angle lens only in a distance of only about three meters: It probably became the most impressive image of an animal I ever shot: The fox dominantly in front of a range of high mountains in the background.

@uncertainrelease Жыл бұрын

little note about the difference in depth of field and sensor size part: with a full frame camera you can get close to your subject that the closer focus distance will make the DOF decrease. but you can also compensate by going with a longer lens. Let's say you use a 200mm lens on an APS-C camera with a crop factor of 1.5. If you want to achieve the same angle of view with a full frame camera, you'll need to pick a lens that as the same equivalent focal length as on the APS-C body, so here 300mm. If the aperture value is the same, then the fact that you're using a longer lens will make the background blurrier, even if you didn't get closer.

@jldam6515 Жыл бұрын

Simon, the reason for the larger sensors to produce smaller depths of field is explained by difraction (circle of confusion). If 2 cameras with different sensor sizes and equivalent lenses (in terms of angle of view) are compared shooting at the same f stop, the larger lens will have smaller depth of field, because of the larger physical diameter of the aperture at the given f-stop (difraction/circle of confusion).

I liked how the video emphaiszes that the answer how focal length affects DoF is quite different, depending whether you mean "with constant subject distance" or "with constant field of view". And it's IMHO the same with the last part about sensor size. Strictly speaking, there is no reason why larger sensor would mean shallower depth of field. In practice, though, we usually compare taking the same scene (i.e. from the same spot and with the same field of view) with the same exposition parameters (including apperture). In other words, if we want to take "the same picture", we need shorter focal length with smaller sensor (which is where the "full frame equivalent" term comes from). And that's why from practical point of view, sensor size does matter in practice: because we are comparing e.g. 50mm on fullframe not against 50mm on APS-C but against 75 or 80mm. So while we are still shooting at e.g. "f/4" with both sensors, the "f" in "f/4" is different and so is the depth of field.

@denisturcott5131 Жыл бұрын

Your explanations are simple and easy to understand. I have always had crop sensor cameras. I have a Rebel XT i, a 7D and a 7D II. Having a limited amount of money I have a 10-20mm, a 15-85mm, a 70-200 f 2.8 and a 150-600 mm to play with. Using full frame lenses sure help to make good images. The crop sensor lenses are not bad but are now like full frame lenses. I work around this just like you say by trying to get closer or to find a better angle. Sometimes it isn't possible and you get what you get. Shooting for fairs or track events are a prime example of that with lighting and where they allow you to shoot. Best thing to do is shoot everything and don't be afraid to try other settings.

And this is when F.4 becomes very useful and why I'm hesitant to let the F4 go for a more affordable lens, like a zoom with lets say f6.3 or a f7.1. I like the very thin depth of field of the F4. I could get similar results with a narrower opening but it's a lot more hassle.

Simon, this is the best explanation of bacground focus I have ever seen. Wish I had seen it yesterday as I was trying to photograph two kittens playing. Trying to keep the cats in focus and blur the background proved difficult.

Great video, Simon! While I was already aware of everything you went over in this video, I still enjoyed the clear and meticulous way you went over the material. Bravo!
