Thanks for watching.

Thanks Ian. We appreciate your reliable attendence!

Good to hear Ariaan

Harry’s legs are the only thing which prevents us from being the best show on YT!

Thanks NSW

Good!

Thanks for watching Neil

That was done on purpose to make sure you watch the next show Peter! Thanks for watching.

@@PhotographyOnline I thought as much 😂😂😂

Hi Chris. When the script was written to throw water over Harry, there was a long line of participants, but Marcus got to do the honours (twice!)

Hi Di. Thanks for watching

Glad it was helpful Robert

Thanks for watching Juniper.

Cheers. We can’t really do a show based on the day it goes live as most people won’t watch it until a few days or even weeks later. Neither the R3 or the Z9 are available for review at the moment.

Welcome to our channel Robert. Glad you found us. Happy new year.

I have that question too. My measuring iOS measuring apps work at short distances only.

If you can’t remember it in the morning, at least you can watch it for a third time! Helps with the analytics!

Hi Gary. There’s no difference when using different sized sensors, so you’re good to go! Thanks for watching.

Hope you manage to make it across the pond sometime Edward.

Hi Carlo. The boots are made by Meindl

Thanks for the top tip Tony.

Thanks for the suggestion Peter. All the best.

Thanks for watching and for your continued support Laurence. All the best.

Hi Stefan. Thanks again for watching. Infinity is t necessarily related to hyperfocal distance but it can be (it depends on your scene). We’ll do a feature all about hyperfocal distance in another show. All the best.

Thanks for the suggestion Alex

Hi Arne. It makes no difference what camera you use, it’s just the focal length of the lens which is important. So no adjustment is necessary for MFT

Thanks for your input Eric

Hi. Sounds like the last thing you need to be worrying about is a slight focus breathing issue! Maybe be more concerned about the thundering tornado only 100 yards away! However, all you need to do is a simple test. Focus at infinity at f/2.8 at 50mm, then zoom out to 17mm and see if something at infinity is still sharp. Hope this helps.

@@PhotographyOnline Haha words to live by! I've been told that because the inner barrel of my lens rotates when zooming in and out that infinity focus will only apply to whatever zoom I focused to infinity on. I did try my largest aperture (f/4.5), focused to infinity while at 55mm, and zoomed out and things seemed to stay pretty sharp.

You know it

Hi. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Infinity focusing and hyperfocal focusing are closely linked and you really need to understand 1 to fully utilise the other, but they are ultimately separate things. Infinity is governed entirely by focal length whereas hyperfocal is influenced by aperture and distance to subject, as well as focal length (plus other things such as enlargement of file and viewing distance). I hope that clears things up a little. Keep watching to learn more!

Thanks for the additional advice.

Hi Roger. You never need to measure any distances because you can simply look through the lens (magnifying the image) to see where infinity starts. The distance is actually irrelevant. Hyperfocal focusing is a dangerous thing as it can often lead to less sharp images. We’ll do a feature on that soon.

@@PhotographyOnline Unfortunately, the "depth of field" of my varifocal glasses (and eyes!) mean that looking through the lens is not going to work for me. I will continue to play it safe using focus stacking if needed. We should discuss this further in the bar at Uig next February!!

Hi Malcolm. Yes you are correct - infinity is just related to focal length, so there is no compensation required for various sensor sizes.

Hi Paul. Yes there is no reason why the smock can’t be worn with a backpack, but it would make h the front pouch inaccessible while you had it on your back.

Thank you very much for your advice

Hi Timmy. Not sure how we could go into more depth as we’ve covered it all in the feature. It will appear in our forthcoming Essential Camera Skills series 2 if that helps,

OK thanks , i'll Look forward to that.

Thanks for the suggestion - we’ll add it to the list. Thanks for watching

Hi Kevin. Sensor size is irrelevant here, so it's only focal length which you need to use in your conversion. Hope this helps.

@@PhotographyOnline Very helpful.Thanks!

You bet!

Hi John. This wasn’t a feature about hyperfocal distance. It was a feature about infinity. We covered hyperfocal distance last month.

@@PhotographyOnline I've only ever known one definition of hyperfocal distance, as mentioned above. Due to your response I've done some searching and found an interesting page which I'll link below (if KZfaq Lets me). You're using the term "infinity" to capture what I've always known as the hyperfocal distance. Now I know that there are really two schools of thought on the best terms for these concepts. I've been a photographer for many, many years and have found your videos to be both interesting and accurate, right up there with the best photo instruction I've ever seen. I was therefore surprised when your hyperfocal video was at odds with my understanding, and more surprised this time. Glad to know this is simply a terminology difference where there are two schools of thought, and neither you nor I are out on a limb. photographylife.com/landscapes/hyperfocal-distance-explained

You would be correct!

Hi Larry. No adjustment is necessary as infinity is only dependent on the focal length, not the sensor. Hope this helps.

Hi Hayden. Thanks for your question. The only things which are ever truly sharp are those on the plane of focus. Once the plane of focus reaches infinity, it extends forever, so you only need to be concerned about covering up to where infinity starts - not any further. Hyperfocal focusing is where you focus in a scene to achive maximum depth of field, but this is dependent on so many other factors such as reproduction size of the image and viewing distance. So there is no set parameters for what where depth of field starts and ends for a specific scene/aperture/focal length as it is subjective to the viewer. You can however maximuse this area of "acceptable sharpness" by focusing approx 1/3 of the way between the closest object you want sharp and where infinity starts. In the example you gave, doing this will mean that the object at 60cm will not be sharp and neither will infinity, as neither of them are on the plane of focus. However, this would give the best compromise to getting both as sharp as possible. Using a smaller aperture simply makes the out of focus areas less out of focus - it will never make them truly sharp. Hope this helps.

Cheers Steve. Thanks again for watching

Hi Jshanni. Infinity is only dependent on the focal length of the lens, so no compensation is required for sensor size. Hope this helps

Hi Jshanni. Infinity is only dependent on the focal length of the lens, so no compensation is required for sensor size. Hope this helps

@@PhotographyOnline sure does. Many thanks.

Totally depends on the end usage of the image, how large it will be reproduced and the viewing distance. There are no set parameters when it comes to depth of field and sharpness.

Haha. It is chipped but it wasn’t caused by infinity! It’ll be repaired soon!

Hi Roger. Yes you are the only one to realise so keep it quiet - shhhh!

Hi Peter. Sensor size is irrelevant here, so the rule of thumb only applies to the focal length. No adjustment needs to be made. Hope this helps.

@@PhotographyOnline Brilliant. Thanks. :-)

If you have anything longer than a 50mm lens, then yes. However, you won’t find a 60m distance mark on a 50mm lens (as that’s already pretty much infinity)

Marcus won the bid to throw the water. We will do a hyperfocal feature in the future.

Thanks for watching. All the best.

Hi. Sensor size is irrelevant here, so a 50mm lens (regardless what camera it is being used on) will always have the same distance for infinity. There’s no need to compensate for different sensor sizes. Hope this helps.

Interesting. I will have to experiment with this new knowledge. Thanks!

Not sure where you can get advice on photography clothing - which is why we did a feature on it. Hope it was helpful. Thanks for watching.

@@PhotographyOnline ​ @Photography Online Yes it was. I should have specified: "...proper clothing for a photography outing...". That's what I meant.

Hi Donald. Nick is still here but he’s been super busy with workshops recently so hasn’t had time to do any filming. He’ll be back in the Dec show.

Very true. You can also lose most of your body heat from the hands if not covered. Harry have you ever used gel glove warmers inside your mittens… ?

It’s not a myth, but you’ve taken the quote out of context. You lose more heat from your head than any other part of the body, but not more than all the other parts combined (which is how you’ve interpreted it). If unclothed, you would lose most heat from your torso but because this area (thankfully) is always well insulated, the head tends to lose more heat.

Great to know you found it entertaining.

Hi Ron. We’ve been trying to deal with Nikon for the past 6 months but they are not very interested in lending us any cameras. If they change their minds then we’ll try to feature some of their cameras.

Hi Nocolino. It’s not a silly question, but you don’t need to compensate for sensor size. A 50mm lens will have the same distance to infinity, regardless of which camera it is being used on. Hope this helps.

@@PhotographyOnline thank you. Yes it does. Congratulations on running THE BEST photography KZfaq channel bar none. I subscribe to dozens and each have their individual merits but yours is the complete package with a great mix of serious in-depth knowledge, practical advice, common sense approach and a nice dose of humour too. ⭐️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Just thought you might like to know. Cheers from Perth. The Australian one.
