STOP These APERTURE MISTAKES! (Architecture Photos) - We look this week at the mistakes I have seen over and over again in architecture and fine art interior photography in recent years - the wrong aperture selection for the space. We look at the reasons why f11 or f16 is not ideal in these types of buildings - and what you should look to do.
I UPLOAD EVERY SUNDAY - 5PM GMT.

I'm shooting a Canon EOS R 30mp body using a combination of Canon L and Tamron glass (but, most recently with the original version of the Canon 24mm f/3.5 L tilt shift). And, as you stated in this video, I've also found (the hard way) that focus stacking for interior shots provides the highest quality results. Thanks, much for the instruction and examples; both have been very helpful.

Glad the theory has been backed up in such a way. :)

In many places using a tripod is not always allowed or practical, when I photographed events, I took many establishing photos, I worked by myself and I had to carry all the camera equipment I needed to get through the day so a tripod was something that I would not carry, so I carried a micro 4/3 camera with a high quality wide angle lens, with the smaller sensor I could get a photo with greater depth of field. If I was only shooting interiors and not during events then I could use a different approach much like in your video. many people use full frame camera because of their better low light abilities but in my camera collection I have full frame, APSC and micro 4/3 Bodies because there are times that having a camera that gives you a greater depth of field at any given aperture can come in handy.

Another good 'un!! I think the tendency to stop down to small apertures stems from the good old days of film photography (before digital/photoshop) allowed us the benefits of post processing? Needing maximum depth of field in one shot required these small apertures and associated issues. Focus stacking is the future!!

Great videos James. If you were shooting the same scene with a DSLR, do you think your long shutter speed and focus stacking would introduce noticeable vibration into your final image from the mirror and shutter movement?

@luzr6613 Жыл бұрын

Yeah... that difference is marked. Even on an average notebook screen and without a side-by-side comparison, the second image immediately jumped out at me. Point taken. Thank you, and have a good one.

@JamesKerwin Жыл бұрын

Yes, exactly. Thanks for watching.

Back in the DSLR era, the rule held true: the longer the exposure time, the more noise you'd get due to heat buildup in the sensor. However, modern sensors can actually benefit from longer exposures. So, nowadays, for maximum image quality, using longer exposure times is often preferable (within reasonable ambient temperatures, of course). That being said, it's certainly true that every serious photographer seeking the best image quality should be aware of the diffraction limit of their camera and lens combination.

You could use Canon's EOS Utility App on a notebook. Much easier to see the results (with remote shooting). And you can change the focus and trigger the shutter without touching the camera. You connect the camera with a USB cable. Works great.

Thanks for sharing - and watching! In commercial work, it is a great tip. Personal work - I have enough gear to carry in etc, but it is the best way!

@ascar77uk Ай бұрын

try HYPER-FOCAL focusing instead of stacking then you only need one image

acceptably sharp isn't perfectly sharp for large format printing though. Word of caution ⚠️ 👌

Really interesting subjects. Wondered on your thoughts of using IS/IBIS on a tripod with R5 and an IS lens. I thought Canon said leave IS on regardless as camera knows, but many people say turn off IS/IBIS when using a tripod. Have you any thoughts or experiences?

@JamesKerwin Жыл бұрын

To be honest I have IBIS off at the minute.

Could you clarify about focusing "1/3rd of the way through" please? I learned photo theory a decade ago so this one escapes me :), thank you!

@JamesKerwin Жыл бұрын

Yes sure - just means everything after this is tack sharp. But mostly works for focussing at anything past this point to be honest. Especially in architecture.

@aaronfitzgerald9109 Жыл бұрын

Why did you manually take three separate shots to focus stack in post, opposed to setting the focus stacking option to three shots in camera with the focus stack menu option?

@mejislasher 10 ай бұрын

Probably because he wanted to focus where he thought was the best spot

I shoot manually and in RAW, I barely use in camera blend tools. Focus, HDR etc - I prefer to have control.

Ok, but if you're advocating for f8 then shouldn't you compare a single f8 photo to a single f16 photo focused at the same point? Obviously the stacked f8 is going to look much sharper.... I'm not trying to argue anything other than the test itself is flawed. One of the points you made is that f16 takes longer to shoot, but if you stack f8 then it takes basically the same amount of time. I was waiting for the single f8 comparison to a single f16 and it never came :(

@JamesKerwin 10 ай бұрын

If you look up focus distances you will see there is no point/need of f16 at this distance. Its an interior. I will redo the video test in the future - and show it on focus peaking for you! :)
