Hi Gary. Thanks for another great video. To make a non-aperture related comment, I was thinking about you yesterday as I was huffing and puffing up a hill to get into position. Your, “Don’t be a lazy photographer,” kept running through my head. Good luck with your photography in 2020.

I needed to learn this. Photography courses in my country is a bit expensive and far from where I live, so learning about aperture on youtube for free, is a huge help. Thank you very much.

@johnhare6652 4 года назад

So many just focus on aperture and do not remember that the distance from camera to subject also influences depth of field. Great video Gary!

@GaryGough 4 года назад

John Hare cheers John 👍🏻

@antonoat 4 года назад

In fact at close distances subject to camera distance makes more difference to depth of field than aperture!

@rcchar 4 года назад

Yes that is right. I purchased a Nikon Z6 with the 24-70 f4 lens. I shared a photo on line and someone said they where impressed with the depth a field that the kit lens had, and they where having second thoughts about getting the 24-70 f2.8. They don't know about this part of taking photo's. I was close to what I was shooting, zoomed in with miles of land in the back ground.

@gyrgrls 3 года назад

So true! I cringe when I hear photographers mention the use of a long lens to compress the scene. I have been shooting since the early 1970's, and i have never seen a long lens compress anything. All it does is reduce the angle of view, effectively "magnifying" a portion of the scene. But true magnification is a result of the camera-to-subject distance in relation to the angle of view. This is why macro lenses allow for better magnification, regardless of focal length, as they allow the camera to be closer to the subject, thereby changing the perspective. Long lenses simply allow the photographer to alter the perspective by moving farther away from the subject, thereby reducing the relative distance from camera to far away subjects, giving the illusion of compression of the foreground. In reality, only the perspective has changed, and the eye is fooled.

@michaelladd3628 2 года назад

I first saw you doing an excellent interview of Mike Browne whom I subscribe to and find to be a talented mentor and teacher. I checked out your RU-vid channel and after watching just a few videos I was so impressed by your knowledge and teaching style that I subscribed to your channel also. I took up photography at age 70 and I am having a blast. I have some catching up to do with your channel but rest assured that I will be gleaning as much information and inspiration as I can absorb. This was a super video for us amateur's. Wishing you and your family an outstanding 2022. God bless.

@bevleaross8736 4 года назад

getting head around small number big hole, big number small hole... I was taught that F2.8 is equal to 2 fence posts in focus, F7 is seven posts, etc etc - is a great mental image to deal with depth of field. great video!!

@GaryGough 4 года назад

Yep that's a fair bit of advice. The DOF of the fence posts will change greatly though depending on how close or far away from them you are. F2.8 for instance shot at 20' away and most of the fence posts will be in focus. Hope this makes sense :)

@CarolyneMacMillan 4 года назад

You are a life saver Gary! I've been asked to teach a few kids photography when school restarts in a couple of weeks and I've been going around in circles trying to think how I can explain everything without either boring them or confusing them. I'm not a trained teacher and despite having been taking photos for around 30 years now, I do so much by instinct now I've been worried about missing stuff out. This video has just become part of my lesson plan :)

@GaryGough 4 года назад

Oh that's fantastic. Let me know how it went. 👍

@Vintage35MM Год назад

Thanks Gary, this is an eye opener and filled in a black hole that I didn’t know I had about depth of field. Since the beginning of time I’ve looked at my lens, observed that the numbers are closer together at distant focus and further apart for close focus. Then coupled with the F Stop scale I could guesstimate what could be in focus. The concept of changing the distance between the camera then correcting the focal length to get the same image size is a way of manipulating depth of field I’ve never thought about Well done, you made us think👍

@paulf1767 4 года назад

And just when I thought I was getting the hang of this I find my understanding isn’t correct. This excellent video has explained why I didn’t get a decent blurred background when I needed to. Thank you and nice watches by the way. Oh yes I can spot a watch change but not the correct depth of field, which isn’t of any use when I’m taking photos.

@GaryGough 4 года назад

@petegerardini2455 4 года назад

Nice overview. This is why I like my old vintage lens, they have a colored depth of field scale marked off on the lens body. It was nice, because I could just put infinity at the mark for f22 and see how wide my depth of field would go nearest to me in landscapes. My old vintage zoom has the depth of scale lines spread out a lot wider at 70mm and very narrow at 200mm.

@GaryGough 4 года назад

Pete Gerardini - love those lenses. 👍🏻👍🏻

@QuarkCharmed 4 года назад

Good explanation in the practical sense Gary, it'll work for beginners, however I should note there's a few technical snags in the explanation. Just because you asked to leave a comment, and I'm a mathematician (used to be). First of all there's no anomaly in the science (i.e. in optics). It's simply the fact that DoF gets thinner as you focus closer at the same aperture. Second, DoF doesn't grow 'exponentially' as you increase the focus distance, it grows quadratically which is a lower rate. I.e. you increase the focus distance 2 times and the DoF grows 4 times. Third, at f/22 and on full frame sensor, it's not an exactly correct statement that 'most lenses' don't perform very well - at f/22 the diffraction will be very pronounced so *no* lens will perform very well at f/22. And the science doesn't dictate the lens should perform well at f/22, on the contrary, because of the diffraction, the science tells us that the higher the f-number is, the more diffraction you get and the less sharp the image will be. Lastly, the sweet spot almost never lies at f/11, f/11 gives acceptable results on many (not most) lenses but it's not the sharpest neither thee sweet spot, the sharpest usually sits a couple of stops down from the widest aperture. I'd like to point out again that your recommendations are correct in the practical sense, but the background technicalities are a bit inaccurate.

@GaryGough 4 года назад

Hi, Excellent comment. I had to look "quadratically" up. I'll take your word on how accurate that statement is (said very respectfully btw) I agree in principle with most of your comments except your diffraction statement and sweet spot. Diffraction will be present in all lenses but the amount will vary greatly between better and lesser quality constructed lenses. I shoot at F22 often and I can't see a noticeable difference in quality at all. Regarding the sweet spot then I think we may be splitting hairs. As long as you avoid shooting at either end of the range of your lenses then it will be sharp enough! Remember, I'm aiming this tutorial at beginner to intermediate levels. I must also point out, we don't look at images under a microscope. I'm always happy to be challenged, it's how we all learn. Thank you very much for watching and for taking the time to write your excellent comment. Cheers Gary

@QuarkCharmed 4 года назад

@@GaryGough Thank you! I use this DoF formula en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Depth_of_field it has distance squared. At f22 all lenses with no exceptions will suffer the same theoretical diffraction, however poor physical quality of the glass may add to overall unsharpness. Good lenses are sharper so you'll notice an improvement at f22 but it's not because good glass can fight diffraction. I personally shoot at f11 most of my wide-angle landscapes, but I know it's not the sharpest spot say for EF 16-35 f4, it's very useful and acceptable spot, but I'd use f10 or f8 if I can get an acceptable DoF. f8 is definitely sharper. It's always a trade-off. However again in the practical sense it's true, you should avoid shooting at the extremes of aperture. They say the new Canon's RF L-lenses are pretty good at widest apertures but I'm yet to try them, I don't have an R camera and the RF lenses prices bite. Thank you again, I always enjoy watching your videos.

@paulcritchley464 4 года назад

Marvellous video Not really seen anyone explain it this way before. Now I’m getting to understand what I do wrong for the results I’m after. With the old film, there was no record to how I got results. Time between taking photos could be weeks till I got the results back. The A.I. is brilliant in the modern cameras as the only mechanical change we can make is shutter and aperture And all the metadata that can be reviewed Cheers

@HampshireHog63 4 года назад

Always good to watch someone else explaining D.O.F. Teaching Aperture and D.O.F are the subjects where I’ve seen students glaze over and you know you’re gonna have to slow down and get them hooked again, or lose them completely. I’ve always broken the subject down into aperture’s effect on D.O.F, then done table top exercises using just that concept, then a break for a cuppa, then going on to Distance from subject & Focal lengths effect on D.O.F. I’m definitely going to use your two photo anomaly trick at the start of the 2nd D.O.F session from now on - it’ll cause a bit of head-scratching, but will link nicely to a set of images I have.

@tonykeltsflorida 3 года назад

I use a 50mm f/1.8 lens. I learned a lot about bokeh. Always near subject and put background far. I also learned how to get more light and all in focus even at f/1.8 by backing away from everything in the frame. I used to be an all in focus shooter when I used my phone more than anything. My DSLR helped me learn about Manual settings and better lenses.

@isabelladavis1363 4 года назад

very well explained Gary...when doing portraits I prefer the very shallow DOF...love the dreamy out of focus quality and the bokeh...and when trying for those wonderful landscapes the 11 spot seems to work the best for me with an occasional 16...

@karinstrobl1910 4 года назад

I kneeled for that explanation. I am not a beginner, I have already taken really good photos. But you have a gift: to explain complicated things easily. Thank you! You helped me a little further.

@Spearax 4 года назад

Great Intro video Garry which I think will work for a lot of people. Seeing as you asked for feedback and to be picky on the science, I think you may have glossed over the role of focal length in DOF. My understanding is that a wide angle lens will have a greater DOF than a telephoto lens for a given distance & F-stop. To quote wikipedia, “Depth of Field changes linearly with F-number and circle of confusion, but changes in proportional to the square of the focal length and the distance to the subject. As a result, photos taken at extremely close range have a proportionally much smaller depth of field.”. The practical upshot is the same as you demonstrated, but includes focal length in the mix. Wikipedia has a complicated equation for this, but essentially DOF increases with longer distance and larger F-stop number and decreases with focal length.

Nice one that man ! Didn't guess the numbers, but when you gave them I knew what was coming. Done Macro photography for several years and I know all too well, I want to be as close as I can to my bug (not the VW type) but also want the greatest depth of field, and know that F8 ain't gonna cut it, nor is F22 for that matter... I like to shoot F11 - F16, need my shutter speed to be pretty quick for movement, be it the bug or the wind, and want my iso 100, don't want noise, Thank heaven for powerful macro ring lights... Worth every penny. I've sent this to a few of my photog friends as I think it was VERY educational & think they'll get a lot from it, Thnx M8 keep up the good work !

@charlessands6933 3 года назад

The reason the numbers are reversed is because it is actually measuring the aperture opening relative to the size of the physical lens inside, what is known as the focal ratio. That is why the numbers are represented by an F. The larger opening is a smaller ratio to the size of the lens inside, and vice versa.

@eltinjones4542 4 года назад

I learnt something new Gary. However a prime number is devisable by itself and One only.(1,3,7 etc) You probably meant aperture settings have no obvious fractions (1/3s 1/2s etc.) Secondly I always assumed that f3.5 for example, was one stop down from f2.8 and therefore let in half the amount of light? Not f4. The same with some of the in between apertures that you left out. If they're half stops then it's my misunderstanding! Anyhow well explained. I'll be more mindful of the sweet spots next time I go out shooting👍

Great video, explained it really well, I've just started photography and was shooting at max aperture and was wondering why everything wasn't clear.
