Thanks for sending me this link and answering my question about back focusing on the other video! You are so kind to take the time to give feedback! You are amazing!
Thank you so much Julia! This is exactly was I was needing! Cannot WAIT for the rest of your content this year!
Julia!!!! I was hoping you would talk about this🤩 thank you so much❤️
Wonderful video Julia :) Happy New Year to you! I'm looking forward to all that you have planned!
Thanks for the tips. I always shoot the eye on the close ups. Love when they come out tack sharp.
The first video of the year is finally Here! I love the new background! Thanks for the tips Julia
Thank you so much for this! This was immensely helpful and inspiring! 💖💖💖
Thank you Julia ,, love your channel and great to see you back. Excellent content and a reminder for how to / settings for achieving better photo sharpness. Cheers !!
Julia always get the amazing photos. You’re so inspiring. Thank you for sharing. Love you 😍
Thank You! I would be highly interested in an explanation of the different servo modes especially on your Mark IV.
I recognize many of us have gotten used to ruthless critiques of free information. As an avid practitioner of the art of photography, I recognize the level of expected value should be commensurate with what I paid for something. With that in mind, Julia, thank you for the discussion of focus. It reminded me of the physics of optics and helped me figure out why I have a bunch of out-of-focus wide aperture shots. Your video also gave me some key terminology to find more information in my camera's manual. Finally, thanks for the exercise recommendations. I started my aperture step down reps today. : )
I'd love to see a video of yours about Focus Modes. Loving your channel.
Okay this is you at your best!!!!! This is what got me to this channel in the first place thank you!
We've learned a lot today. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you for this video, Julia! :) finally a more honest video about sharpness! I would love to watch a second video about focus modes and also about the ideal distance between the lens and subject while shooting something.
Yes, please do a video on the focus modes and what they are used for! That would be so helpful!
So ready for the next photo critique!!!
Happy New Year Julia. Another awesome video to start the year.
It’s absolutely criminal you don’t have more subscribers - your stuff is quality! Love watching your videos. Keep doing what you’re doing, love from UK
I enjoy your video tutorials! Thank you for always sharing your tips and tricks! Happy New Year!
Thanks Julia! Happy new year! I use the same focusing modes as you, but have switched to back button focusing
I love you Julia ! You are awesome ! You have helped me to improve my photography, get so much to learn from you.!
Julia does it again! Yey! Yey! Thanks sooo much! I currently use (with Nikon) - AF-S Single Focus Back Button and starting to practice on f/1.8. Your videos help! A lot! It's great to know the why behind each setting and how it effects the outcome of the image. :D
Love your work and videos, Julia!
Would love to see another video on focus modes and to see a live shoot !
Thank you so much for those tips out there you gave on regarding how to take some better sharp Photo's 😍😍!
Can’t wait for upcoming videos 😍
Recently I've been using manual focus more and more and using the screen to zoom in to an eye for example, check the focus, and then zoom out and take the photo. I don't know how many other people do this but I get great results with it!
I do the same, but without a screen to assist :( I just adjust focus until I think I can see the eyelashes most clearly and it usually works out.
This is really helpful!! Thanks for another great video!
I love your videos! So informative every time. I would love to learn more about focusing modes.
Thank you yet again for the informative tips and descriptive method that you use when discussing topics.
Much needed tips for me. In recent days, i struggle a lot focusing with shallow depth of field aperture. Thanks for this video.
Love tour work. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from the island of Crete, Greece!
Yes for the focus modes explanation video ^^ Nice video, thanks !
Thank you, Julia. This video was very helpful.
Thanks for posting this video I asked for. Very helpful.
yes please another video explaining everything!!
I love this video! I just wish you’d shown all of your settings and everything you talked about on your actual camera like you did at the beginning or like shown you actually on site implementing what you were talking about. Sorry I’m a visual learner over here 🙌 but still a great video! I learned a lot! ❤️
Love your tutorials!!! Thank you
Hi Julia-thanks for another great video. Would love a more in depth video on all the focus modes. I've always used focus and recompose as I am still a beginner and it is so intuitive. However, I feel like I should probably practice using my focus points. Thanks again for the info.
Julia, I think you have a lot going on here... and I think you are very helpful in so many ways.... I'm an "Old " school photographer and teacher on collage level (back in the late 80's -80' ha) I was the master and became the student (with digital )so you are spot on... and I am learning from you... (I do shoot professionally still today). I would only say one thing with this vid; if you're shooting wide open (up close face ) which is how I normally shoot... you might want to stop down just a fuzzy to 1.4. 1.8 or even 2.8 and focus on that one eye; if you don't he other eye and nose could be out focus and soft too. I know.. I like shooting at 1.2 too...but... not so much if even one part of that face is out of focus . I now shoot with Fujifilm X-T3 and can focus manually... using "Focus Picking". Anyway... you're refreshing, Knowledgeable and cute... I can say that "cute" part openly as I'm a Grandpa of 8. Ha. Thank you for teaching us!
Terrific tips...I usually freeze the focus with a half shutter press, then reframe...but you're right...changing the focus point by selecting AFTER the framing is more accurate...I just had not considered it...well done...
Thank you so much Julia!!! So helpful!!
Hi Julia, always a really good video with great tips!!!
Such good tips for people who are just starting out and what to get off the P mode.
Bravo ! Great presentation I got every single word well done.
Thank you so much! This is very helpful. And i would like to see another video about the focus modes :).
Love your style and your videos are super helpful x
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Would love a video on focus modes! Great info here thank you again Julia!!
Good one, thanks for your tips Julia !
You should do a video on Auto Focus Point Selection!
Why?
@@ThinkCriticallyNowbecause it's important to know which is best.
For what I've seen so far spot focus is better. She mentions it on the beginning. For portraits spot is better. The name depends on the brand.
Jenny letting the camera decide what it focuses on is useless. If you’re using a camera that doesn’t have eye AF, you need to learn to focus and recompose technique.
Yeah you should do the video, every bit of info is great...Loved the video.
New year, new shooting location, great content 👍
Great video! Thanks heaps! ❤️
I would like to see a video about each of the focus modes on dslr cameras as I'm planning to get one. I believe 2019 is the year I finally start learning about photography. :)) Thank you for the video, Julia!
It feels very nice to learn when a cute looking lady like you demonstrating .
Thanks for the advice! Enjoying your channel. :)
@4:02 it is funny to me when u said "movement shots with Christina".
it just shows how lively she is when she is doing shoots with you LOL. i love you and her combi btw.
Hi Julia, I totally love your video's and learned so much already. I was wondering if you would like to make a video about your settings on your sony a7III. I have a sony a7 and struggle a lot with setting my camera up, so it would be most easy to shoot with. I would find it really helpfull.
Very helpful - I am really looking forward to the Eye AF Tracking on the EOS R5
Thank you so much for all of the tips! :)
Great video for all the enthusiast photographers around the world especially Me from INDIA.🌏
Simple way of presentation of yourself makes u distinct..😊
A big hai from a fan from different part of the world😉
Just what I needed. I’m still trying to figure out my settings to nail my focus. Are you going to create a vlog channel? I miss your vlogs!
Hello Julia. thank you very much for all your advises and tutorials; Learning with you is so easy! Is there any way you can do more tutorials about using flashes for portraits? (indoor and outdoor) i'm starting using flashes and was wondering :)
woo welcome back! using single shot af on the eos r with either single point af or intelligent tracking af. pretty happy with the sharpness of my photos, although combing through multiples of the same photo does become tedious and storage-consuming hahaha
Love these tips!
Great video again julia,i used to do the focus and recompose like at the beggining of the video.My newer camera( 5d mk4) has 61 focus points so there really is no need to do that anymore.
Awesome video and commentary 👌
Very useful tips.
I fell in love with Sony full-time Eye-AF when it was introduced with the A6400. Now I also use the Sony A7iii... The Sony system really brings portrait photography into the 21st Century!
However, I shot for years without Eye-AF and I used most of the techniques that you so succinctly described in your video. My one big PITA was that the Canon 6D Mark-2 had its focus points crammed into the center of the image...
The practice tips were most helpful. For some reason I've been of the mindset that if I have all the technical aspects "right" then all my images should be pinpoint sharp. The truth is, however, that as a relative beginner I just need practice. Amazing how something so obvious is also so easy to overlook. Thanks for the reminder. Other practical practice tips would be great, too.
Eye autofocus on the Sony’s is a game changer. A7iii nails this, as I’m sure you know.
Yeah eye AF is pretty amazing!
@@juliatrotti Happy new year. All the best for 2019.
I was just asking myself how to take a sharp one😂. SO THANK YOU!!!🙏❤️
Yay glad I could help! 💛
Since I mostly use manual focus lenses, and don't have any of the focus assists that live view mode can offer, I have to rely heavily on my eye. to help with this, I replaced the focusing screens in my 5D and 6D to be more sensitive with brighter apertures (sweet spot is f/1.8-2.8 rather than f/2.8-4 with the original screen). that really gives me an advantage especially in low light where autofocus would struggle or fail. It's still not as nice as the prisms in older film SLR cameras, but it allows me to cut out a lot of the guesswork
I can definitely relate to your favor of the old prisms in film cameras. My old Nikon F5 is so clear and sharp and noting really compares.
Hello Julia, thank you so much for your lovely videos ! It is such a pleasure to look at ! It is so full of energy. You have a fan from Belgium here. I have a question about putting the focus point. When you are shooting, are you constantly replacing the focus point in relation with how you want that your photo is build up ? I'm referring to your example with the flower is this video, when you set your focus point and reframe or set your focus point at the top.
Julia you are brilliant great 👍 information dear
i like the shutter button method too ,thanks nice tips .
What a awesome video!
Hey ❤️ thank u for the information and yes I would like u to explain more about many types of focus because I have problem with it and I use cannon 600D a lot of times I couldn’t catch the focus on what I really want so I hope you do a video about it thank u again ❤️
Hi Julia, I actually manual focus when I can but having the Sony a7iii does allow me to rely on the Eye Auto focus and face detect when photographing people. Having IBIS on your camera and/or lens is also a tremendous help. Also good technique in holding the camera properly and not drinking loads of caffeine before doing critical hand held shooting are things to consider!
Really useful for beginners! Thanks for sharing! Liked and subscribed!
Thank you so much! That was really helpful!
I'm so glad!
thank you for the effort and the sharing. with a canon 5dmk1 and canon sl2, the best i can manage is focus and re-compose. i will attempt to do more practicing and see if my results get better. i am an appreciative subscriber. thumbs up.
Good info. Thanks 🧚🏻♀️
Yes please do a video on the focus modes. It's something I struggle to understand 🙏
Thank you so much Julia we are really learn how to take a amazing photo , but after that we need learn how to be model
I love you Julia 😘❤️
All manual with focus peaking. Just so easy and it is fun.
Me: take photos at lower ISO and decent shutter speed in good lighting to take sharp and clean images
My model friends: want to take photos in places with basically no light
Back to landscapes
Comrade Stalin Stalin we don’t believe in you
One human, one problem
Could you do close ups of your camera when youre talking about all of these settings? Beginner here and its quite overwhelming hearing about the camera settings but not knowing where to find them or adjust them!
Claudia Goodwin I’m with you I’m just starting too
Claudia Goodwin just write down what you don’t know and google it specific to your camera. Eventually after googling 5,000 times you’re gonna learn everything on your camera.
TH-cam search your camera model. Lots of camera specific tutorials out there. I found that technique very useful.
Yessssss I was about to say!!
very helpful video. many thanks
I love the video!!
Hey, Julia! Would you please do a short video on color profiles and camera settings like contrast, color tone, etc., since you photos look so good straight out of the camera? (especially on Canon)
Also: autofocus micro adjustment for every lens. This is a must for those using a DSLR.
Great tips thank you!
Thank you!
Thanks for these Tips, I will soon have my first shootings
Favorite voice over google
Hey Julia, relly nice video !
The joystick on the A7iii is a must ! Having the a7rii at the moment, it's a pain in the a** to move the focus point..
Thank you! I actually find that I prefer using the touch screen to change focus points on my A7III most of the time actually, it's so much faster than the joystick :D
@@juliatrotti Oh yes, i havn't thought about that feature also !
Thanks a lot for what your share with us !
Have a nice day !
Great info. Thx for sharing
Love your tip videos, they help lots! If you had to chose between a canon flash 600ex ii-rt or the Profoto A1, what would you go for?
Hi Julia, do you use single point auto focus for couple shots?
How do you take sharp photos there is more than one subject?
Do you increase the number of auto focus points?
Can you make a video on couple or group photography?
Thank you!
