วีดีโอ

Thank you very much for your advice.

no i won't use one of these. it is too heavy that i can only take this one lens, which means I can't take my 24-70 and 85 with me , i can't afford not to take 24-70 and 85

Can you shoot wide open with a 85mm 1.2 if your group is in a straight line like 6 people?. Love your videos

Straight to the point on the basics that really count........Thank you

Very informative! Thank you

Thank you so much!!

great video!!

Thank you! I wish there was a similar guide for videographers. I sometimes have to film dance videos of groups and I still have no idea where to set the focus and how narrow to go with F-stop. I have found that unlike with photos, it's not necessary to get everyone into the focus to get artistically good result. Neither have to be everyone fully in the frame all the time. I'm more bothered with noise from cheap led lights at higher ISO settings. Regarding the focal length, I have the same 50mm view since I prefer to use 25mm on a MFT camera with crop factor of 2. The largest aperture would be 1.4 (2.8 full frame equivalent) but there are MFT lenses that are faster (do I need them?).

Thank you-that’s quite helpful.

These tips are helpful. It would help if you would also share how far you were standing from the subject when you were taking the pictures.

1/50 shutter speed is too low for handheld photography

Thank You

Good video.

Yes blud! Super informative video. Shooting a wedding reception soon, with my 5d Mk 4 + sigma 50mm and canon 70-200mm. Thank you. 👻💡👻

Another great video

Great job on the lesson!

The image of the woman with the colorful background was a profound comparison! Wow!

Awesome trick, thanks a lot. I´m using it in Capture One and works fine

when shooting on film the latitude is different where highlights hold more information and shadows. Same with shooting log video on modern cameras. Underexposing raw log footage is pretty catastrophic for grain when you try and lift everything

I only had a 50mm lens when I first started weddings as an amateur with a film slr..I used to use an aperture of F5.6 or F8.All your tips are good. One thing I always do with sizeable group photos is to get people to look at each other and interact a bit for a more natural and fun look. Also they are not so conscious of you and less likely to shut their eyes.Thanks Geoff

Thank you for making me feel immediately shamed at the onset of this video 😂

Loved this video wealth of information to the point. Needed this information 🎉😊

when that is literally the only lens i have lol...thanks man

Did you shoot single focus mode or wide?

thanks ❤

Your intro music is too loud

One doesn't *need* any lens of f/1.4 for family photos; those are for special purposes. For the cost of an 85/1.4, you can easily acquire an 85/1.8 AND a 35/2. Those two, plus your 50/1.8 comprise a very nice and economical set for everyday photos.

What aperture would you recommend if there's 2 or 3 rows 20 or people shooting outside?

I love the tips, but why are the photos not sharp?

What ISO are you using?

Great video, but terrible had and choice of NHL Team. GO LEAFS GO!!!!!!!

Thanks for the video. Nice to see someone on the Asbury Park boardwalk. If you’re going to shoot portraits and don’t want to be so far away shooting at 200mm, why not use a shorter focal length, move closer to your subject, and shoot wide open if it’s background blur you’re after? There’s always a tradeoff involved (sadly).

Thank you

Thanks for this video! I had been using a Tamron 24-70mm zoom lens, but came across a Nikon DX 55-200mm zoom lens at a reasonable price: It's going on a Nikon FF camera, so that gives e a perspective of 85-300mm lens! Your information is VERY helpful,. Again, thanks,,

Thank you for your kind share

In the shot with the dancers which person were you focused on?

Muy buen vídeo amigo, directo al grano y muy útil 🌟

I'm a firm believer in sticking to name brand batteries. It's not that there aren't good after market/generic batteries because I've had a few, but there are so many bad/unreliable ones out there and I've been burned so many times that I just opt to save myself the hassle.

Needs to be updated to current Lightroom.

Great video. Thank you. 🎉🎉

This is exactly what I needed thanks. Started brushing up my shots and seeing the results i wanted immediately.

It was very helpful my maaan!! Thank you!

Great video. This the one I was searching for

When ever i take a group photo with apreture 2.8 on 35mm sony lens (sony a7c) I never get everyone in focus. I have to go for at least f 5 and above to get everyone in focus. And I wont be getting that f 2.8 bokeh effect with this f5. I dont know what technique im missing😢

You say in larger group photos to stand in a so called soft circle. But i guess still need to focus on the ones on the sides then since they are closest to the camera. Im new to this by the way.

That Tamron disregards that shutter speed con….I can shoot handheld 1/50th comfortably with that VC. The VC on that 70-200 is unreal

I got lens for wife she likes it however we need a 500mm for sports like football so far away

good evening. I was wondering if you can send me or attach the photos to the TH-cam tutorial so I can follow along. Thanks
