The SHALLOW Depth of Field TRAP
6 ESSENTIAL TIPS for BETTER PHOTOS
-
A shallow depth of field is an easy way to immediately set your images apart from phone snapshots and smaller, cheaper cameras. but if you always default to shooting wide open, you deny yourself the opportunity to develop some really key compositional skills.
Thoughtful attention to the adjustment of your depth of field is essential, as it plays a direct role in shaping the visual impact and storytelling elements within an image. Considerate manipulation of depth of field allows you to influence and craft both the narrative and aesthetics of your photography.
This video contains 6 essential tips for getting better depth of field in your photos. I look at the work of Alex Webb to see what we can learn from his amazing work.

@ronyedin 27 дней назад

“Be intentional”… after 18 years as a photographer, I stopped using zoom lenses. We have become lazy sometimes just zooming into people and objects. I switched to only using 35 and 85mm primes now. It forces me to move and I have found that I get more interesting angles and started to appreciate compositions. It has actually make me love photography again.

@babaarcuszatir 27 дней назад

To be fair, zooming and changing the distance to the subject with a fixed focal length lens are two separate things giving different results. You can change the distance also with a zoom lens, but cannot zoom with a fixed lens (other than crop).

@jamiewindsor 27 дней назад

I like primes primarily because they make me take better photos (as I'm forced to visualise more). 35 and 85 are a magic combination. That's my pairing of choice too.

@ronyedin 27 дней назад

@@babaarcuszatir The point I'm trying to make is that using zoom lenses can sometimes result in tunnel vision, similar to a sniper waiting for the perfect shot. At events, for instance, you might find yourself stationed at the back with a 70-200 lens, potentially missing other opportunities. I've noticed that when I use prime lenses, I'm more proactive in scouting the surroundings, even beyond the viewfinder. This approach makes me work harder to be intentional, leading to more creative compositions. While it's possible to achieve this with zoom lenses as well, I find that primes change my mental approach to photography.

@desohare8683 26 дней назад

This is fine for a leisurely and narrow (ouch!} approach to photography. Great if it works for you. Many of us in many situations, do not have the luxury of working with just 2 focal lengths and simply walking up to your subject to get closer This doesn't work for public music and performance events or for sport, or shooting boats from the shore or air shows, or weddings from a fixed position or anything really that requires specific shots from an unalterable distance. Even when you can move, zoom lenses are not evil. Different focal lengths have different characteristics. Choose the perspective you want THEN move to the ideal position. The creative opportunities of wide angle or telephoto lenses shouldn't be dismissed Restricting yourself to only two perspectives doesn't give you freedom, it just restricts all your photographs to only two angles of view. The one advantage of primes of course are larger apertures and finer control of depth of field.

@ronyedin 25 дней назад

@@desohare8683 I appreciate your perspective on the practical versatility of zoom lenses, especially in constrained shooting environments like sports or events. I am very aware of that. I also shoot wildlife and event photography. My point about "being intentional" with prime lenses is less about dismissing zooms and more about rediscovering a personal connection to the craft of photography. Using primes challenges me to engage more deeply with the environment, moving physically to find the best shot rather than adjusting the zoom. This approach has reinvigorated my passion for photography by pushing creative boundaries, even if it's not always the most practical choice in every situation. Each lens type has its strengths, and choosing one over the other can shift not just our techniques, but also our artistic vision.

@MatSmithLondon 18 дней назад

In my opinion grids are overused in the analysis here. They can be a fantastic way to focus your compositional by intention but some of the grids superimposed onto the images shown in this video seem tenuous. Anyway, I greatly appreciate any kind of analysis, even if it is tenuous, because analysis always forces you to think about things. The fact I can have an opinion on whether it’s tenuous or not, in itself this is an interesting talking point. It’s a great video you made.

@christopherbgriffith 27 дней назад

When I first got The Suffering of Light my mind was truly blown. "How did he manage to get these shots?!?" I'm a huge fan of letting dark areas fall to blackness and I love his color choices. I can only hope to take a Webb-ish photo one day. :) So glad to see you back, Jamie! I hope you're feeling better. You make RU-vid a better place with your work.

@jamiewindsor 27 дней назад

His work is really amazing, isn't it?

@mgscheue 25 дней назад

I can’t imagine how his brain works. So much going on at once in his photos and it all works. They’re often like puzzles.

@S3l3ct1ve 13 дней назад

@@mgscheue Use a wider lens, you will notice that a lot of the subjects just fall right in to place on their own. And also when you see an interesting subject, you can almost place him anywhere you want and he will make the photograph stand out. Also try to look for the areas where the light devides the potential field of view in different lit zones, then just wait for the subjects to pass by that area. Of course it takes hundreds of attempts to get that right image. We also only see the best shoots, he probably had hundeds of film rolls just to get couple of those high quality images

@mgscheue 13 дней назад

@FTrovatten 27 дней назад

Bokeh is the laziest way to direct a viewers attention. And I’m as guilty as the next one. But when you look at the great photographs of the past, what made them great, was the whole scene and not some 1.2 blur. Okay - I had to get that out of the way - back to the video :)!

@steelcannibal 27 дней назад

True. Though people had to be more thoughtful and creative with their composition pre-digital age, because film wasn't cheap. So people really had to weigh out what was worth shooting or not.
