- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- In this episode we explain what infinity is, where it starts and why it will help you get your sharpest ever shots. We also take a look at how photographers kit themselves out when it comes to the clothing they wear, plus we take some indoor portraits in preparation to do some unusual printing with UV light.

I love hearing the mirror slapping up on the Mamiya. I have an RB67 and love it.
You can’t beat a good old slapper!
Infinity focus makes so much sense with the changing wall explanation. The rule of thumb calculations are a light bulb moment. Thanks guys.
Glad it was useful David.
Great show - very informative and the production values are excellent as always - kudos to all. Harry deserves a medal for his clothing presentation.....
Cheers, all.
Much appreciated!
One of the best and most informative photocontents on net!!!!!
Glad you think so. Thanks for watching.
Wow, this is enlightening! On and off I've been involved and interested in photography since the late 1970's and had no freakin' idea about infinity reference points for any given focal length. Thank you!
*Thanks Marcus! Now I can take better Timelapse.*
Great discussion on infinity. I’ll definitely go out and practice before my next trip. Thank you.
Hope it proves useful Albert
Absolutely brilliant yet again.
Marcus throwing water on Harry was soooo Funny..... 🤣🤣 Class.
Cheers Craig.
Thanks for another fantastic show. Harry's clothing segment was both excellent and hilarious, and loved the segment with Marcus' daughter. Such a great idea to contact print a contact sheet. I'll have to remember that for when my children are a little older (as in, can sit still and won't immediately crawl to the camera to put their fingers on the lens...)
Good to hear Ariaan
A great episode. I learned something new and valuable with the infinity focus feature. Who threw the water at Harry? My money’s on Marcus
You would be correct!
The presentation on infinity was really an "ah hah" moment! I was wondering how I'd capture a timelapse of the night sky and foreground elements and keep everything "sharp"! Thanks Marcus!
Glad it was helpful Robert
Thank You Guy's another awesome Video Catch you in the Next Video Please BeSafe & Take Care
Thanks NSW
Great video!
I wanted to ask, if I'm using a lens with an infinity focus option (Sigma 17-50mm f2.8 for example) for videography and I'm zooming in and out a bunch, will it keep all objects beyond say 50 meters in focus?
I ask because I film tornadoes from at least 100 yards away and want to be able to zoom in close when debris is being lofted and zoom out to get a full view of it.
I currently have the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 lens where the focus changes when I zoom in/out, and manually focusing can be difficult in those intense situations.
Hi. Sounds like the last thing you need to be worrying about is a slight focus breathing issue! Maybe be more concerned about the thundering tornado only 100 yards away! However, all you need to do is a simple test. Focus at infinity at f/2.8 at 50mm, then zoom out to 17mm and see if something at infinity is still sharp. Hope this helps.
@@PhotographyOnline Haha words to live by! I've been told that because the inner barrel of my lens rotates when zooming in and out that infinity focus will only apply to whatever zoom I focused to infinity on.
I did try my largest aperture (f/4.5), focused to infinity while at 55mm, and zoomed out and things seemed to stay pretty sharp.
Hi a wonderfull explanation of infinity. I am wondering if there is some boundaries that share with the hyperfocal distance or is the same.... I am starting to be confused so thanks in advance if could you provide a bid of light about. Greeting from Colombia south america
Hi. Thanks for taking the time to comment. Infinity focusing and hyperfocal focusing are closely linked and you really need to understand 1 to fully utilise the other, but they are ultimately separate things. Infinity is governed entirely by focal length whereas hyperfocal is influenced by aperture and distance to subject, as well as focal length (plus other things such as enlargement of file and viewing distance). I hope that clears things up a little. Keep watching to learn more!
I like learning new methods of focusing, i found To infinity and beyond fascinating and informative any chance of a more indepth vlog on the subject please.
Hi Timmy. Not sure how we could go into more depth as we’ve covered it all in the feature. It will appear in our forthcoming Essential Camera Skills series 2 if that helps,
OK thanks , i'll Look forward to that.
Love it
Hi Di. Thanks for watching
Regarding DOF how does subject distance and Aperture fit into your Example? You mention 16mm being were infinity starts when shooting at 16mm and focusing 1/3 of the way between infinity and the closest object you want sharp should render acceptable sharpness front to back. Surely the results would be different depending on subject distance and aperture? Otherwise one could have a object 60cm In front of the lens and shoot wide open at f2.8 and as long as I focus at 1/3 of the way to infinity everything should be sharp?
Hi Hayden. Thanks for your question. The only things which are ever truly sharp are those on the plane of focus. Once the plane of focus reaches infinity, it extends forever, so you only need to be concerned about covering up to where infinity starts - not any further. Hyperfocal focusing is where you focus in a scene to achive maximum depth of field, but this is dependent on so many other factors such as reproduction size of the image and viewing distance. So there is no set parameters for what where depth of field starts and ends for a specific scene/aperture/focal length as it is subjective to the viewer. You can however maximuse this area of "acceptable sharpness" by focusing approx 1/3 of the way between the closest object you want sharp and where infinity starts. In the example you gave, doing this will mean that the object at 60cm will not be sharp and neither will infinity, as neither of them are on the plane of focus. However, this would give the best compromise to getting both as sharp as possible. Using a smaller aperture simply makes the out of focus areas less out of focus - it will never make them truly sharp. Hope this helps.
It was interesting with the relationship between infinity starting point and focal lenght. I wonder if it only applies to FF or if it also applies to MFT. Maybe you need to double the distance so that, for example, a 25mm lens has the starting point at 50 meters?
Hi Arne. It makes no difference what camera you use, it’s just the focal length of the lens which is important. So no adjustment is necessary for MFT
Superb as always!
Cheers
Great informative show as always!
Was expecting to see photographing of ghosts on Halloween 😂.
R3 vs Z9 will be an interesting watch :-)
Cheers. We can’t really do a show based on the day it goes live as most people won’t watch it until a few days or even weeks later. Neither the R3 or the Z9 are available for review at the moment.
Great video. I’ll be changing the way I photograph landscapes in future because I’ve always used the focussing a third of the way up the screen method. Will there be a difference when using a crop sensor camera?
Hi Gary. There’s no difference when using different sized sensors, so you’re good to go! Thanks for watching.
Great programme as always guys, a lesson on DoF is never wasted, same with clothing requirements. But was I the only one to spot the typo at 18:34?? If so do I win the prize?? (blening)???
Hi Roger. Yes you are the only one to realise so keep it quiet - shhhh!
I do have to point out that the "fact" that we lose most of our heat through the head is in fact a myth. As it's only 10% of the body, thinking about it shows it to be untrue. That said, it is the area that's uncovered most, so it is still vital to keep it covered in cold temperatures.
Very true. You can also lose most of your body heat from the hands if not covered. Harry have you ever used gel glove warmers inside your mittens… ?
It’s not a myth, but you’ve taken the quote out of context. You lose more heat from your head than any other part of the body, but not more than all the other parts combined (which is how you’ve interpreted it). If unclothed, you would lose most heat from your torso but because this area (thankfully) is always well insulated, the head tends to lose more heat.
I have a question about the beautifully simple graph drawn by Marcus to help estimate approximate ‘beginning of infinity focus’ where we have focal lengths up the vertical axis and corresponding distance in metres along the horizontal axis. My question relates to crop factors and those focal lengths and consequent distance in meters. Does 10mm (16mm with x1.6 crop factor) mean that the near point of infinity focus is more like 16m rather than 10m?
A long-winded but hopefully not stupid question. 😬
Hi Nocolino. It’s not a silly question, but you don’t need to compensate for sensor size. A 50mm lens will have the same distance to infinity, regardless of which camera it is being used on. Hope this helps.
@@PhotographyOnline thank you. Yes it does. Congratulations on running THE BEST photography TH-cam channel bar none. I subscribe to dozens and each have their individual merits but yours is the complete package with a great mix of serious in-depth knowledge, practical advice, common sense approach and a nice dose of humour too. ⭐️👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Just thought you might like to know.
Cheers from Perth. The Australian one.
Very entertaining. Although I think you may have "Watered down" Harry's input.
🤣
Hmmmm They must have reset their clocks back in my ancestral homeland
Yes, it’s only 3:07pm here!
Marcus, does the "rule of thumb" in relation to infinity apply to all formats, i.e. on an 80mm lens on a medium format camera infinity would be roughly 80 metres?
Hi Malcolm. Yes you are correct - infinity is just related to focal length, so there is no compensation required for various sensor sizes.
I have some problems with your technique from when infinity begins. I like to use a 50-year-old 50mm f1.8 lens on my Sony alpha 6300. I painstakingly calibrated this lens to infinity overnight with the help of the stars. According to your statements, infinity should begin at about 50m, but that is not the case.
Your comparison with the moon and the tree 1 km away does not apply to me at all, if I focus on the moon with my favorite 50mm lens, the tree is not in focus a km away and vice versa. If the tree is in focus, the moon is not. Maybe it's the old technology on my modern camera or the new lenses you use. That's why the apps for the DOF calculator are useless for me, even they give 67m for infinity at 50mm and f1.8.
I have no idea what it is, but it's a bit difficult for me to generalize.
Infinity is infinity, the moon and stars are crisp, the tree in your example is not, unless I go to f11 or higher, f1.8 definitely not.
Maybe I just have problems understanding it, because English is not my mother language.
Hi. There’s no way you can get the moon sharp and then an object 1km away out of focus on a 50mm lens.
How do we avoid fogging up of the lenses in humid weather?
Hi Rahul. Lenses will only fog up if they are cooler than the ambient temperature. If you can keep your lenses in a warm place then they will not fog up. Avoid keeping them in an air conditioned room before taking them out into a warmer environment.
@@PhotographyOnline if an air conditioned room is my only option, then I would need to aclimatize my whole kit before using, correct?
If I understood your infinity explanation. but if I'm focused to infinity and need to get view in focus closer than the nearest infinity focus you say then focus 1/3 of the way from the nearest infinity AND where you want in focus.
But then the lens is no longer focused to infinity? How then is infinity in focus.
It's not in focus, but you can make it appear in focus by using a small aperture. There is no magic number here, as there are too many variables to account for, but if for example you were using a 24mm lens and wanted everything from 7m to infinity sharp, then simply focus at 13m (1/3 of the way between 7m and 24m) and use f/11 - bingo.
@@PhotographyOnline gave that a go at 24mm even used a measuring tape. found that checking focus at 7m was ok and soft at infinity. tested on 5dsr 16-35f4 is. played around focusing further than 7m with some improvement BUT would not consider "pin sharp". i calibrated the lens so could be me. playing around with focus distance and checking on the LCD did help.
going to try my 24-70f4 is next.
thanks
@@billz4795 I have kind of been down this rabbit hole recently too. I think this video could have gone one step further and shown if you change f/stops for each focal length and find the point where infinity is sharp and the focus extends the furthest back towards you, you end up with a definitive guide for your system which says for this focal length at this aperture everything from x metres to infinity is pin sharp if I manual focus and make sure I start in the foreground and gradually change focus until the furthest part of my scene is just in focus. With the new cameras and ability to show dynamic depth of field and focus magnification you can do this by just looking through the camera if you wanted. Using this process for example with my 16mm I know at these f/stops everything from these distances to infinity will be pin sharp if I "just" focus to infinity f/5.6 4.0m f/8 3.5m f/11 2.0m Only thing is for a full frame sensor these feel a little far and I think I might have been magnifying a little to much at 9x in the camera when checking. I might try again at 4x. If I can't capture the range of focus with these I'll focus stack.
Who hit Marcus and chipped his tooth? 😂
It was a hoovering incident!
@@PhotographyOnline that doesn’t sound very rock ‘n’ roll 😂
Missed warm and waterproof socks.
If you have waterproof boots, then you don’t also need waterproof socks. We only featured the clothing we wear and none of wear waterproof socks, so they’re not something we could comment on. Thanks for watching.
Really enjoyed that - the infinity piece was good, I never really thought about it in such detail before.
The outdoor kit was rather appropriate for this time of year, I need to invest in some good outdoor clothes.
I was really getting into the analog technique but you cut it off at the really interesting part - I guess I’ll just have to watch the next episode in 2 weeks 😁
That was done on purpose to make sure you watch the next show Peter! Thanks for watching.
@@PhotographyOnline I thought as much 😂😂😂
In landscape photography is rather an acceptable focus over the entire image than sharpness.
Totally depends on the end usage of the image, how large it will be reproduced and the viewing distance. There are no set parameters when it comes to depth of field and sharpness.
Poor Harry…and as cold as it gets..took his breath away withe that cold water🤦♂️🤦♂️😂….thank you new to this channel, great info. Happy New Year…and Harry stay dry 😊
Welcome to our channel Robert. Glad you found us. Happy new year.
In the example of the closest object is 50 meters away and furtherest is 5km away....where does the focus point need to be? Anywhere in the scene between the 50 meter mark and 5km? Can i put the focus point at say 60 meters and have everything in "focus" using any aperature?
If you have anything longer than a 50mm lens, then yes. However, you won’t find a 60m distance mark on a 50mm lens (as that’s already pretty much infinity)
D850 is the best DSLR ever. I am a Canon shooter, so not very happy about it :)
And yes, we would love to watch you eat :D
Thanks for your input Eric
Brasher Books.....king of boots !!
Infinity explanation: brilliant. Xiana; Double brilliant, great model and developes film at her age, amazing!!! Thanks.
Thanks Victor
Great video as usual…. Hope you don’t mind Harry to add to your clothing part if a photographer is on a limited budget that they can buy good military clothing from military surplus stores at 1/3 of the price from high street stores for hiking boots, waterproof, backpacks and camping gear etc… Also bashas make good portable hides and with military scarfs over lenses you can blend into the background… BTW Harry winter is coming and revenge is sweet when served cold…
Thanks for the suggestion Peter. All the best.
the little girl is my favourite ;)
I'm still trying to understand your approach as I'm missing the numbers where you focus on and just show a mark in the green field. Given your last example I think I'll understand: 1/3 into the scene from 2m will be 4,66m plus 2m for the nearest point so it will be 6,66m. That's also the hyperfocal distance. If I use the 6,66m as the focal point everything from 2,08m till infinity is acceptable sharp (f 2.8) according to the hyperfocal table. A chart visualizing that would have been extremly helpful (your approach overlaying the hyperfocal distance chart).
Hi Bert. The problem is what is "acceptable"? This depends on so many variables, none of which a hyperfocal table knows. If you have two subjects (objects), one at 2m and another at infinity, but with nothing between the two, then using a hyperfocal table will simply ensure that you have nothing sharp at all. Does this makes sense?
@@PhotographyOnline Hi guys, thanks! I find your approach really interesting. Maybe you have the chance to illustrate it more where to focus? But then, maybe I'm the only one who doesn't fully understand the optics physic behind your approach? Thanks so far.
With the general rule of infinity starts around the focal length of the the lens in meters, is this for full frame so you need to adjust this for the crop factor. So a 50mm lens on a crop sensor has infinity at 75 meters?
Hi Larry. No adjustment is necessary as infinity is only dependent on the focal length, not the sensor. Hope this helps.
The girl for potraits is so cute ☺️ beautiful expression 👍
Thanks Moin
That’s the longest discussion of hyperfocal distance I’ve seen that didn’t mention the term. In classical terms, the infinity setting is when the plane of focus is infinitely far away. The hyperfocal distance is the nearest point of focus at which things at an infinite distance remain acceptably sharp. This is affected by focal length, aperture and sensor resolution.
Hi John. This wasn’t a feature about hyperfocal distance. It was a feature about infinity. We covered hyperfocal distance last month.
@@PhotographyOnline I've only ever known one definition of hyperfocal distance, as mentioned above. Due to your response I've done some searching and found an interesting page which I'll link below (if TH-cam Lets me).
You're using the term "infinity" to capture what I've always known as the hyperfocal distance. Now I know that there are really two schools of thought on the best terms for these concepts.
I've been a photographer for many, many years and have found your videos to be both interesting and accurate, right up there with the best photo instruction I've ever seen. I was therefore surprised when your hyperfocal video was at odds with my understanding, and more surprised this time.
Glad to know this is simply a terminology difference where there are two schools of thought, and neither you nor I are out on a limb.

Finally, I understand infinity! 👍🏻
Glad it helped!
Excellent video. Thank you.
You’re welcome
Great show. A question on the Infinity "rule of thumb " : is it dependent on strict focal length - ie 50mm lens, infinity commences at approx 50 meters - or is it fov dependent? Ie - micro four thirds 50mm is 100mm fov equiv, so is infinity commencing at 50 meters or 100 meters?
The note about focusing one third into the pre-infinity distance is very helpful, because I've often found the one-third rule doesn't work for total scene depth.
Hi Jshanni. Infinity is only dependent on the focal length of the lens, so no compensation is required for sensor size. Hope this helps
Hi Jshanni. Infinity is only dependent on the focal length of the lens, so no compensation is required for sensor size. Hope this helps
@@PhotographyOnline sure does. Many thanks.
INFINITY FOCUS = HYPERFOCAL distance?
No. The two are different things, but can be related.
@@PhotographyOnline oh, okay. Would love it if you cover both n explain in a future video. I just recently came across hyperfocal distance n this episode got me wondering if this was also same.
Brilliant! You so clearly unwrapped the mystery of infinity focus. Thank you. Marcus mentioned using a phone to measure distance to a subject. What App is he using?
I have that question too. My measuring iOS measuring apps work at short distances only.
Joli
Cheers
Well done!
Best camera is a Hasselblad with phaseone digital back. Crazy expensive. Yes.
now tell me what's the difference to the hyperfocal distance...
Your question makes no sense Bert. In order to tell you the difference, you need to state what the two elements are. You’ve mentioned one being the hyperfocal distance, but what’s the other one?
@@PhotographyOnline Definition: The hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably sharp. When the lens is focused at this distance, all objects at distances from half of the hyperfocal distance out to infinity will be acceptably sharp.
I think the definition is pretty clear. What other element do you mean? I mean your workflow is interesting but I'm missing the math background of it to understand it.
Looking forward to it already
She slays it again
Thanks Darin
My infinity seems to be buying camera gear 😜
It’s not a bad infinity to have.
Another great show
Thanks Ian. We appreciate your reliable attendence!
That's the greatest tuto on infinity I have listen at. Thank you for your knowledge and your share.
Another well-paced, varied and interesting edition.
Thanks Dave. We appreciate your support.
Having watched this a 2nd time I think I'm beginning to get the gist of the infinity issue.It'll be interesting to see If I can stil remember it in the morning! Great show as usual, thanks.
If you can’t remember it in the morning, at least you can watch it for a third time! Helps with the analytics!
Another thoroughly informative and educational instalment of Photography Online. On a recent trip, 4 of us subscribed, the other 5 seemed very interested. Word of mouth works hopefully. Good luck growing stronger online.
Thanks for the recommendations Alan. It’s much appreciated
Humor appreciated!
Good!
I am enjoying your videos greatly. Toronto is far from Scotland, but my mother was born in Glasgow. Always intended to visit. Current excuse is Covid-19. Hill country might be too challenging at this point, but lots of things look interesting.
Hope you manage to make it across the pond sometime Edward.
Fantastic again. I did not realise I did not know what Infinity was. Not sure I know it even now. Poor Harry - was Marcus throwing the water???? Made me laugh. Little Sheanna was adorable.
Hi Chris. When the script was written to throw water over Harry, there was a long line of participants, but Marcus got to do the honours (twice!)
May i ask? whats happened to my favourite host Nick?? has he gone to greener pastures>??
The infinity focus was brilliant and. i know get it , i thought before just focus according to the infinity mark on the lens, i know fully understand it, brilliant once again
Hi Donald. Nick is still here but he’s been super busy with workshops recently so hasn’t had time to do any filming. He’ll be back in the Dec show.
Focus... so why in astrophotography is it SO difficult to get the stars in focus???
It’s not. It’s really very easy.
Hello, there is a TH-cam channel named Virtual Japan and the guy have a lot of footage shoot at night in the city. He says in the description of some vids that he uses a prime 20mm lens, everything in his videos is in focus, close passing by people are in focus and also the far background. How he can do that if you say infinity begins at 20 meters on a 20mm lens and everything closer than that should be out of focus but in his vids it seems closer objects and people ar in focus. Can you check his some of his videos and give us an ideea? And what aperture he might be using for his night vids? No noise on hid night shots, his vids are HDR10 too, on OLED TVs they look awesome with all those highlights from the city lights! Thanks!
It’s easy - the depth of field on a 20mm is sufficient to render objects near and far as appearing sharp when using a medium-small aperture, especially if focused around 6 or 7m.
@@PhotographyOnline thank you so much for your reply, so you focus at 6-7 meters and afterwards everything is in focus? You don't need to set the lens to infinity?
@@AexoeroV - if you set the lens to 6-7m then only this distance will be truly sharp, but the depth of field (when using around f/11) on such a short focal length will be sufficient to render everything from infinity to a couple of meters as appearing sharp - especially with moving images (which need to be blurred anyway). You wouldn’t want to focus at infinity in such a situation because you would be wasting a huge amount of depth of field.
@@PhotographyOnline i see, thanks for the info!
@@PhotographyOnline and for night video wouldn't be f11 to low aperture? I just try to understand how those videos were shot. I don't have a good camera and such a lens to try it myself.
Hi all, terrific show as usual, never thought about infinity that much but will do now! great piece on clothing by Harry, has he dried out yet? Xiana is going to be very knowledgeable on all things photographic, if she isn't all ready! 10/10.
Thanks for watching and for your continued support Laurence. All the best.
Thanks guys...you guys have help me develop my skill over the past year ...looking forward to more videos...from Toronto canada, 1love
That’s great to hear Bobby. Thanks for watching
Hi Folks
Additional thoughts on clothing. I use base layer longjohns in cold conditions. These together with waterproof trousers have allowed me to lie for hours in the snow with hares. Also regarding gloves you can versions which allow the fingers to be uncovered to control camera function. My favourites are from the Heat company but in warmer conditions Sealskinz shooting gloves have worked well
Thanks for the additional advice.
There's definitely an issue with falling over when wearing Wellies around streams and rivers and slippy rocks. During warmer months I ditch hiking boots and Wellies and wear trail running shoes like Ino8s they stick you to the rocks like Spiderman. And expel the water as you walk.
Thanks for the suggestion Alex
Another Contender; Pentax K1 Mark II with the new Pentax DFA*50 1.4 in Pixel Shift Mode on tripod.
Thanks for the suggestion - we’ll add it to the list. Thanks for watching
thanks again for the trip beyond infinity
A top quality show as usual, ruined only by the appearance of Harry's legs again. The article on clothing was very useful. I now understand the infinity focus, what a great explanation. Keep up the excellent work
Harry’s legs are the only thing which prevents us from being the best show on YT!
OMG poor Harry! Although i feel sorry for him, it did make me laugh! I think he and Sheanna was the stars of the show! Thank you guys for a great show, you've made my night!
Thanks for watching.
Another great video but I thought I'd share a tip from the motorcycling world. If you're pulling on overtrousers and want to get them on quickly without having your boots snag, simply put a plastic carrier bag or something similar over your boot and then pull the trousers on - it works a treat and no more snagging.
Thanks for the top tip Tony.
Huge thumbs up to Marcus for the Infinity Focus segment. That was great info which I will use going forward. Much appreciated!
Thanks Timothy. Glad to hear it was useful.
Great show, except who is the water sadist? I also look foreword to a hyperfocal discussion since the infinity wall isn’t how I see things. Thanks.
Marcus won the bid to throw the water. We will do a hyperfocal feature in the future.
Another great show.
Poor Harry! I'm guessing Marcus threw the water and enjoyed every second of it?
You bet!
Excellent video again. Here is very cold in winter so keeping warm is of course essential. While clothing isn't an issue finding gloves that keep your hands and fingers at least warm while being able to operate your camera has always been a problem. As I go skiing in winter I have some very warm ski gloves that also have a thin, soft but warm inner glove. I tried just wearing the inners for photography, problem solved. While your hands will still get a little cold if you are holding your camera for extended periods for the most part they will keep warm and it is very easy to operate the camera and push and turn the buttons and dials. Highly recommend ski glove inners
Thanks for the info Shizen
Another great show, infinity piece was really interesting, a bit beyond me to begin but I think I’ve got it now. Hope Harry has dried out now.
Cheers Steve. Thanks again for watching
Come on guys! Even we in the USA know the word trousers. It doesn't need to be explained. 😃
Just trying to be international!
Infinity segment is amazing. As usual perfect job. Love this channel. That splash of water made my day.
Great to hear Julian. Thanks
I replayed "taking the worst the weather(water) can throw at us" for 5 times and I still can't help to laugh .sorry Harry!
Great to know you found it entertaining.
just a suggestion since you cover so much on the infinity why not do another episodes explain the infra-red infinity on the scale. and how to focus star at night at infinity skill?
Hi. We’ve already done a feature about focusing on stars - in our Aurora feature at the beginning of the year, so feel free to check that out sometime. Thanks for watching.
Another great show. I really enjoyed the clothes section. Do you know the make of the boots that he propped up on the table?
Hi Carlo. The boots are made by Meindl
I keep watching this section on Infinity to make sure it's always very clear to me when i'm outdoors, thanks Marcus.
Great to hear!
1:35 looked like it could be a great photograph!
Guys your show is very educational and so entertaining I love it the views should be in the millions, great stuff.
Cheers Clive
"To infinity...& beyond..." And Sheanna was as cute as a button with her emoticons...
Thanks for watching. All the best.
Great feature about infinity, depth of field and the relation of the focal length. Is this in theory also related to hyper focal distance? I never really understood the theory of the hyper focal distance...
Great show as always!
Hi Stefan. Thanks again for watching. Infinity is t necessarily related to hyperfocal distance but it can be (it depends on your scene). We’ll do a feature all about hyperfocal distance in another show. All the best.
Thanks for the explanation of infinity. I haven't heard anything that sensible before.
You’re welcome Dale
Thank you again a great show. Practical advise on clothing from Harry, and watched the piece on infinity several times. I think I have got it now, thank you. Also loved the photo shoot with Xiana, she is sooo cute.
Thanks once again for watching (several times!). Hope it was useful
I loved my visit to Glengarry Castle, the food was fantastic, the staff amazing, and my pictures of the wrecked boat were some of my favorite shots during my stay in Scotland. Most definitely a great place to use as home base.
Great to hear.
Hi Ruth and team another great show i loved the part when Marcus described infinity in detail that was a massive help. Look forward to the next show very best wishes.
Glad it was useful Mark. Thanks for your continued support.
Harry, thank you for your very valuable insights into what to wear.
😜
Great piece on clothing. A little research on how the wildlife I want to photograph actually see light and colours helps me make subdued clothing colour choices.
Thanks for watching Juniper.
The most informative and useful series on TH-cam, without any doubt.
Thanks Charles
Another great show. Thanks for explaining infinity, I’ll go back re-watch some of the earlier episodes now that we are heading into winter here in Canada. By the way, clothing is, here in Canada, very essential, especially in the coming months. I’m in a relatively warm area where day time temperatures can fluctuate from -10 C to - 40 C. Thanks.
Thanks for watching Neil
