Great video once again, Sergey. I took a life lesson from this session. Keep the people I want in life, directly infront of me, parallel to myself and focus just on them. Everyone else, do not require my focus lol

Great info! I’ve learned this through failing the hard way a number of times. Now I do this, but I also shoot once around F4-5.6, raise iso to accommodate, switch to manual focus, ask everyone to move and shoot the background at F1.2 so I can merge if necessary

Great tutorial Sergio! I’m really surprised that when you had the twins spread out on the same plain that the outside edges did not get soft. I’ve always had the perception that the further you got from center the edges would get soft at shallower DOF.
