I don't doubt your photography skills whatsoever, I actually learned a good bit from this video. But I think your videography skills area a little off…. Pobodys Nerfect!!
great video though
I was NOT expecting that at 1:54. Made me literally lol!
I need my Canon 60D to take pictures like my iPhone does, with everything in focus. Of bands, in clubs, low light, musicians moving around. What lens do I need?
1:54 When you started doing that I wished I had been there to brogue kick you into the water!
Still the most simple – and the best – description.
Stay dark man, stay dark…
why is this overexposed
Excellent video Joshua with lots of useful info. Also you have a brand new subscriber!
I'd say thiers 6x good options… u missed raise your tripod and my favourite..
Crop to 16:9 lol
1:53 – 156 Hahahahaaaa!
whats the button he hold in to open the apperture?
Mother of god. I have been doing everything incorrectly taking landscape photos. No wonder the suck ass. THANKS!!!
Another excellent snippet of info for us beginners, in that f8 is often the sharpest f on many lens. If for my Lumix 1.7 20mm pancake lens anyone sees an exception, please advise. Thanks.
Really helpful tutorial. Is Auto Focus not suitable in the same situation?
Hi Joshua …like to thank you for this video …off the many dozen videos on focusing for me your's was to the point and you make it so easy thanks once again.
Stealing candy from a baby?
You used tokina 11-16 mm f 2.8 , how is it ?? What is your opinion on this lens ???
Cool dance moves man!
You are about a stop over exposed 😜
Best instructors award 🥇
He gets right to the point backing up what he says. Others (and there are many on YouTube) are good but horrible instructors. Thanks, guy!
this guy is freking hilarious.
You remind me of Own Wilson. 😀
Oh man.. I have been reading so much about focus in landscape photography, but it all sounds so convoluted in practice. You just showed a very practical and simple way to get it right.. thanks!!
Very informative, thank you mate
Hey josh.
When i set my focus to 1/3rd from bottom and zoom in to see if its sharp or not, it shows me different depth of zoom. eg 5x, 7x, 14x.
How do i know which one is okay as i get it more blurry as i move to 14x. However at 7x it seems to be sharp. My focal length is 14 mm on a micro 4/3rd camera.
I learned a TON in this video. Thank you Josh! Keep up the great work and I'll keep smashing the like button!
This is hands-down one of the most informative videos on photography that's on youtube!
Awesome! this applies also for a parade picture? where you are shooting at distance and want everything in focus?
Corny ass dude
