I spent roughly the last 7 months crying about shooting product photography for my clothing brand. You solved all of my issues in a few videos. I watched so many videos and it kept getting more confusing. Thank you!

@KellieAndersonfoodtoglow 5 лет назад

I was one of your first subscribers and, while not always keeping up with your new videos, I binge watch when I can. Today I've gone through about 8, and this one was so, so helpful. I've sorted my back button focus and, my goodness, what a difference.Thanks for always being hugely informative and never ever boring. And thank you for being so clear and covering all abilities so well.

@butterandthyme Год назад

This just blew my mind!!! I've been shooting with a DSLR for about 3 years now and I didn't know back button focus was an option. So so helpful, just like all your videos, thank you so much!!

@FlavourStudio 4 года назад

Whenever i have a doubt on food photography i will search for your videos. Your videos never disappointed me. Always on point . Thanks alot for sharing the great knowledge.. 💖

@LivingTech 3 года назад

Agreed. I love this channel!

@LivingTech 3 года назад

Thank you for this video. While I already knew every one of the individual points, and use them on a regular basis, it was still good to have them all together, because if I miss one, then the shot is ruined. Super clear, high efficiency knowledge transfer. My wife and I try for this every day with our own YT channels, because that's how you keep viewers engaged. Thanks again!

@jillburgraff-miceli5294 3 года назад

I have worked on this for days and days and you just changed everything. I've watched a ton of videos and you cracked the case. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

@gerardbonner6464 4 года назад

I have watched dozens upon dozens of videos and you have by far done the best job of explaining the use of not only aperture but lenses. Love your work.

@chrissiejoy1 5 лет назад

You've got to be the MOST natural, lovable person on RU-vid. I usually get so annoyed with 10+ minute videos, but yours keep me so engaged the entire time! NEVER CHANGE!

@pkce2b 3 года назад

Haha I was litteraly thinking the same thing. She is awesome!

@basiccarrot413 6 лет назад

Found your video while i was finding tutorials on making backdrops and was instantly in love with your channel. You present things so clearly and informative, with such a huge enthusiasm and energy! Love you so much! keep up the good work!

@divine.gratitude3476 5 лет назад

thank you so much Joanie! In the last 4 days me and my partner we were watching manyyyyyyyyyy of yours videos! we are so grateful with all the information, learning a lot, and improving our shots ! , we`re just starting with this, so is amazing all the tips and details than you been explaining, and more because your way to explain so clear for us and also fun!!!! thankss you dearr ps: we also love your perfectly pronunciation, because we are not english speakers and with you is really easy to catch everything !

@kathyacton3343 6 лет назад

So glad to have found you. I love your teaching style! So fun and clear. I have been shooting back button focus for a while, but now I know that I can use focus and recompose with back button focus.

@mariolavrador350 6 лет назад

You look to be having fun while you record your videos, and that it's transmitted to us, your followers. Thank you so much for another great video!

@danblair8606 5 лет назад

I'm so glad you mentioned back button focus. Such a powerful tool. When I first found out about it I nearly lost my mind.

@sidvicious3129 6 лет назад

You did this video brilliantly, you paced yourself and got in all of the topics and slowed it down so that your guest could follow you. All of my cameras are set up for back button auto focus, which I use for portrait photography and setting up your lens to manual mode is used in landscape photography to nail your point so that the autofocus doesn't re adjust. You are easy to understand, you keep your topic less, technical, but informative and more importantly, you stay on point, good job and keep it up.

@nancylee1473 6 лет назад

@GabieRetana 6 лет назад

THE ZOOM. OH MY GOD. THE ZOOOOM. I feel so dumb, it seems so obvious now! Thank you so much, this has been incredibly helpful. The back button focus... seriously, I love you.

@TheBiteShot 6 лет назад

I picked up that tip in a workshop I spent $800 for along with 5 other accomplished photogs :) lol!!! I felt like such a dingbat as they all looked at me like a crazy person :) but so so thankful i found it out then and not later! It's one of those super simple game changers

@byalexjoachim 6 лет назад

I'm right there with you!

@henrytheturnip 5 лет назад

For handheld shooting (less useful on tripod) you can half-press the shutter button to get the focus, then keep it half-pressed while you recompose along the plane, then fully press to take the shot.

@@TheBiteShot "back button focus" HUGE, HUGE, HUUUUUUGE game changer! Thank you.

@julessanchez9216 5 лет назад

Great video, I must agree the back button focus is the best way to go. I have been trying to form a new habit, when my camera is on a tripod to turn off VR button. I find that focusing on a person or animal ‘s eye close to you, aids in getting a better focus point and in turn a sharp photo. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge !

@andrewelder2739 4 года назад

A tip you used but didn't spell out was using the shutter delay. Even on a tripod, hitting the button and having the shutter trigger simultaneously can introduce a tiny bit of shake. With still subjects like this, the 2-second delay can make a big difference!

@benwilsonham 6 лет назад

Great vid, you covered the topics better then a lot of other videos I've seen so far, very clearly too. Thanks for the vid!

@ArthurSzutu 4 года назад

You are not only a great photographer and teacher but a wonderfully animated and beautiful subject!

@jeanne7263 5 лет назад

Oh my gosh! One of your best videos ever. I can’t wait to start using these techniques. Game changer.

@shanescott3168 5 лет назад

Joanie, this is a great video on understanding focus, one of the best I've seen on the subject. Thank you! You have a great on camera personality. I hope you continue shooting videos and have much success! One thing I learned the hard way is that depth of field for focus gets shallower as the camera gets closer to the subject. I shot some food photos where part of the food item was out of focus (not on purpose) because the depth of field was so shallow. Live and learn!

@samanthabriden6310 4 года назад

I know this is an older video but I just wanted to say THANK YOU for all that you've shared on RU-vid. You've been so helpful in improving my blog images. They weren't terrible originally but now I know for a fact I can do better! So many helpful tips and tricks :)

@colletteworley228 3 года назад

Well presented, informative and fun video. Its good to learn, love your videos- keep them coming.

@MichelleCoxPhotography 6 лет назад

I have never understand back button focus.... until now. WOW!! Thank you!!

@TheNeydat 2 года назад

Thank you!!!. I watched the video many times. So finally, I understand how to focus in manual and autofocus. You saved my life

@andrewelder2739 4 года назад

LOVE that this is on the 70D (my first camera) with the humble but mighty "Nifty Fifty"! Really helps speak to those starting out and/or on a budget.

@stevesolo2643 6 лет назад

Hi Joanie! I must say that you have not only great information here, but awesome presentation skills as well! I do landscape and small product photography, and have dabbled in food photography as well. For most of my product shots, I find that a macro lens (i.e., the Fujinon XF80mm f/2.8 Macro) gives me the sharpest, most detail-rich images possible with my particular gear. Also, I realize it’s out of the scope of this video, but for images where large depth of field is required, focus-stacking is a fantastic technique. Of course, a solid tripod is a necessity! Thanks again! .

@avibee3439 4 года назад

I have both units for about 5 years now and it is good that I have watched your video. I did not know about the back button focus unit now. I will try this. Thanks a lot!

@simonsheena 6 лет назад

Great video, Joanie! You explain things in the easiest ways to understand. I always look forward to watching your new videos. Keep up the great work!

@TheBiteShot 6 лет назад

Thanks my friend! Always a pleasure :)

@emilyvarjas8655 6 лет назад

I just want to say thank you for posting all these videos!! I'm going to be honest, after going to school for photography I feel like I didn't learn as much as I should have and instead have learned WAY more watching only 5 (hope to watch more) of your videos. You're honest, knowledgeable, and yet easy-going and I wish I had you as a photography teacher back in the day. I definitely plan to watch and learn more from your videos! So once again, thank you!

@TheBiteShot 6 лет назад

So kind of you to say!!!

@thymeforcocktails7981 6 лет назад

Lady after years of struggle with this stuff you are really breaking it down to a level that is FINALLY clicking for me! Set my back button focus and also figured out a few more helpful custom settings while I was in there. Thank you!

@TheBiteShot 6 лет назад

Hooray!!! I know, BBF threw me for the longest time. I was always making it out to be more complicated than it was. So glad this made sense!!

@CookingwithShereen 4 года назад

I love watching your videos, found you the other day and have been binging ever since. I’m looking to buy a new camera for my cooking videos. The canon (your baby) that you are using here, I’ve been researching. What lens what you use for video? What lens for stills? Thanks so much. I’ve found your link in the description.

@johnlochness 5 лет назад

Loving your videos. I'm a hobby photographer, however I run a B&B so want to take great shots for social media, that means local landscapes, rooms but also food. I've learnt so much and so much I want to try. Thank you.

Your videos are so helpful! I've had a DSLR for over 5 years and just don't know how to use it. I've tried reading about it, watching videos, and I'm always too bored to continue learning. Your videos are addicting! You are able to explain complex topics and make them understandable. Thank you so much for teaching me how to use my camera and amazing tips for my food photography!

@tuachristiansson7662 6 лет назад

Just watched this again as I’m taking some pictures today and needed some help. RU-vid is full of photography videos but there is a big difference.. I can spend hours watching others videos and all I get is more confusion! How you do it is great, keep the video subject very specific, make it bite size and especially like when you tell ‘me’ to take my camera out and try it together with you. Would be nice to get more videos on camera settings like you covered aperture etc but looking at my canon EOS 200D there is soooo many more things that gets me feeling dizzy 😵

@TheBiteShot 6 лет назад

You bet. So many settings, so little time :) Definitely more to come in the future. Stay tuned and big hugs!
