Technically higher apertures will cause a degradation in quality mainly due to loss in sharpness. Diffraction plays a big role in the lens sharpness. Some specific lenses still perform good in higher apertures but mostly the best quality is found closely around multiple stops above its base/widest aperture. Finding a good balance between depth of field and sharpness is also a common practice among landscape photographers who tend to use narrower apertures.
Dat Tran Flares Yes you’re right. The will look different lens to lens but the way to capture them still remains the same. Thats mentioned in the blog post and will be in another video about shooting sun flares in the field.
@@BrendanWilliamsTutorials Well, some lenses won't flare at all so I think it's worth a mention. I have a Sony/Zeiss lenses for my emount system that does not create sun flares at all due to its design and coatings.
High apertures certainly do cause more blur and it seems kinda odd that you would brush it off like that without researching the topic. The general consensus is that above f/11, you will lose some sharpness. The reason for that is diffraction: photo.stackexchange.com/questions/8304/what-is-a-diffraction-limit You can easily see it by looking at measurements from, e.g., DxOMark and comparing the sharpness maps at different apertures. For almost every lens, the smallest aperture will have the lowest sharpness. www.dxomark.com/Lenses/Nikkor/Nikon-NIKKOR-Z-24-70mm-F28-S-mounted-on-Nikon-Z7---Measurements__1270
Sir may i ask? I was having trouble when doing indoor photography bcz wherever i point, the windows always blown out and greatly reduce the sharpness of my object... How can i handle this? I try to reduce the exposure by reducing aperture or get shutter speeds up but it makes my object underexpose
If you are shooting out a window, try exposing for the outdoor scene as long as your shadows aren’t more than 2 stops underexposed on the light meter. That way you can pull the shadows without problem in a raw file and you won’t be overwhelmed by the glow from the window

You didn't mention how dependent flares are on the lens you are using.

I have a bridge camera and use Ai most of the time. I get purple spots on my pictures with the sunshine directly in front. It ruins the picture ☹️
Its called chromatic abberation and yoy can easily remove it in a photo editing program
Great tutorial, so easy to understand, thanks
Bryan Davis no problem!
