Thank you so much for watching!
0:31 lens
might be dirty
1:14 filters might be affecting focus
2:00 lens just not that sharp, especially if vintage
3:55 aperture, f-stop too low
5:34 camera motion blur
7:08 subject motion blur
7:53 focal length affecting motion blur
8:41 the focus settings might not be right for the scene
haha, just exited.
2:52 Most lenses are sharpest between f11 and f8 and in some rare cases f5.6. When she's babbling about f2.8 and f2 to achieve sharpness she unveils how completely clueless she is.
@@TH-cam_Stole_My_Handle_Too No, not really and you did not watched video carefully or just focused on first half of the sentence. Julia is talking about using f/2.0 or f/2.8 over wider apertures (like f/1.8 or f/1.4) because lenses are sharper and have wider focus range WHILE it still offers nice out of focus background, not making everything in focus and, in result, "flat" photo.
@@Stasiek_Zabojca
Your explanation isn't the least satisfying. Things usually begin to happen from f8 through f11. If sharpness is needed background blur can only be achieved in post. And no, I don't watch the whole video after a fatality early on. There's a limit to my patience with clueless and stupid.
@@Stasiek_Zabojca Yes this is what I am talking about if they bothered to listen to the entire sentence ;)
You make learning about photography really accessible and easy to understand. I really appreciate your ability to show examples in your videos. Thank you!
I’m really excited to dive deeper into this video. My images are almost always sliiighly out of focus or grainy (even with a low ISO) and it was driving me crazy
Thank you. You are truly a pleasure to listen to and learn from. Looking forward to seeing more from you.
Thank you so much for your calm and detailed sample explanations.
Super helpful, and cohesive delivery! Thank you for this. Also, you have a great smile!
Thank you so much for your free advice, I'm just abt to start rekindling my love for photography and this is very helpful! All your videos!
Excellent advice! My colleagues who shoot red carpet with me suggested continuous focus. I started using it and with great results. Thanks again.
Had to come on here to say that I used these tips for a client shoot this week and the photos came out INCREDIBLE. May be my best portraits I've ever taken. The bokeh you get from these settings is buttery smooth and everything looks beautiful.
That's awesome to hear! Glad you enjoyed :D
This video was so helpful!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤🫶
Thank you 😊. Your videos are among my favorites on TH-cam. For me, a hobbyist, I am more interested in the soulful storytelling aspect of photography. Your explanations inspire that 📸
Thank you so much!
Thank you so much . The way you’ve explained has been more than helpful! I appreciate your style and explanation
This was so helpful! One of the best videos on the subject. Thank you!
I love her accent… “shaapa” “capchaa” “chapness” “shap” “auta focas” “na da shap” don’t take it the wrong way, it’s cute 😂
Down bad 😂
@@MattWoulph down bad? What does that mean lol
Don't get out much?
Bruh 😏💕
absolutely perfect for my ears... pilsen, czech rep, middle europe... to be honest, many britain and us speakers are hard to understand by foreign...
My girl! Your explanations are powerful! Thanks a lot 👍🏽
Very helpful! I like videos like these who uses real examples instead of just explaining in words! ❤
This was so incredibly helpful. Thank you for your hard work!
Thanks Julia! This is very useful! :) I like how you clearly explain everything in each video!
Thank you :)
If I had come across this before it would have helped a lot. It has all the important gotchas in one video! Also, thanks for mentioning canon equivalents as well. In my camera's case AI Servo is just known as Servo. The EOS M line predates the new nomenclature used in the EOS R line.
What a breathe of fresh air. Thank you for being you and the way you have done this was so good and to the main point understandable. So as I listened to you I subscribed as this is how good you are. Thank you so much for a great presentation.
Thank you for the tips! That was really cool to see the shot from Half Dome! I have a shot from that same exact spot except I shot the reflection off the water and then rotated it to the proper orientation. Keep up the great work and you've gained another follower, Cheers.
I love your channel... all clear & nice english, easy to understand around all world... and finally great photographer with open mind, good luck and keep sharing your knowledge... thx!
wow, i am totally blown away with the level of detail, not only in the photos shown, but your explanation and the information!! ive just bought a used panasonic Lumix DMC TZ80/ZS60 travel zoom camera as i want to get into photography, and i have found that the majority of my photos have a level of blur or distortion to them, and i really want to move away from setting the dial to auto and just snapping away. i will watch this video over a few times more in the coming days, so i can hopefully prepare myself with knowledge for when the weekend arrives and i head out (hopefully with the tripod i have ordered) to some local places to get some photos taken. thank you for taking the time to put this video together to help people like me! love from the UK!
This is by far the most in depth video I've seen on the subject of not so sharp photos.
Amazing! Thank you so much for sharing those tips!
I'm an non-English speaker and I really like your explanations. So easy to understand, clear pronunciation, and I don't need to use the caption.
Thank you!
She can explain it so well! Thank you so much! I love learning from you and your accent is awesome! 😁
Excellent! This video is what I needed! ❤️
Thank you for the excellent tips!
Love your content and the knowledge you impart
You are truly a great asset to we photographers. Many happy thanks!
Thank you so much for sharing … great tips 🥰
This was SO informative. Thank you so much! ❤
Great reasons to be thinking about. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for sharing, lots of useful information explained simply and easy to put into practice. It looks like you have a lot of fun naking the videos as well. Thanks for sharing!
You are my absolute favorite photographer and youtuber. Your videos are always so informative and detailed. I know you do a lot of outdoor work, but do you do any studio work? If so, can you do a studio video with lighting? I do both but in this Florida heat the summertime are mainly studio sessions and I would love some tips and tricks! Thank you :)
Thank you!! I have a few studio photoshoots up on my TH-cam channel already :D You can try checking out: GM 70-200mm f2.8 mkII Review, Tamron 18-300mm review, iPhone 13 Pro max review, some of my self portrait sessions and my latest one which is titled Macro Lens Portrait Photography. I hope that helps!
This was very helpful. Thank you!
simple but very helpful, thanks!!
God, when it came to that 135mm part, I fell in love all over again 😍
Also, on Nikon cameras it's also called continuous AF (and single AF)
Another great video Julia!
Simply Superb KNOWLEDGEABLE Video
Such a helpful video, thank you!
You’re amazing! Thank you for this!
Hey Julia, thanks for the video it’s really useful for me and I learned so much more from this video
What a pleasant personality! you're a good teacher..
Thank you, Julia. I have resorted to "Auto" for stills and the Olympus does take good Bokeh shots in that mode. However, I will see if my OMD EM 2 Mk 3 has Continuous Autofocus. That was the most important thing I learnt just now.
(I aim to better use the Oly for video, but I am learning that skills in stills shooting will cover most of the problems).

Thanks Julia great tips as always👌
Everything well explained, and demonstrated, only getting into photography due to high-end drones having awesome camra's. Needed to learn this stuff personally. Thanks for taking the time to make this great educational video.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed!
Thanks Julia, I feel your channel will help my photography.
thanks julia this helped alot, subscribed 💟
thank you! really useful tips.
This is exactly what I need. Thank youuuuuu! :)
Definitely helped me out thanks❤
your videos are so good! learning a lot, thx
Great content. Good to hear the Sydney accent. It’s amazing how you can still get negative comments with pretty informative non-controversial videos.
I’ll be saving your channel for our schools photography course for next year. Keep up the good work.
I use crop bodies and full frame. Due to sensor limitations in lower light, the apsc sensor tries to bump iso leading to noise, or lengthen shutter speed leading to subject motion blur, even with “wide aperture“ APSC f1.4 lenses. I find I either have to increase ambient light, add a flash, or stick to full frame wider aperture lenses in more challenging light. Harder to push limits with crop system.
New subscriber, this is the first video I’m seeing on the channel 😁👌🏾 love it! Keep up the great work
What an helpful video!! Thank you, helped me a lot!! :D
This works. Recommended to try this out. Thanks a lot for your help
Thanks you so much Julia for your video.
There are 2 more reasons why photos becomes blurry: 1. using optical stabilization, 2. not using optical stabilization :-)
1. When camera is mounted on tripod - always turn off optical stabilization. Otherwise built-in stabilization into camera (eg used by me Sony A7RIV) will slightly shift the sensor. If long exposure is used together with long focal length - taken picture will become completely blurred. This is why old Sony A99 has built in tripod detection and automatically can turn off stabilization. The most modern A7RIV can't do it. Amazing! Isn't it?
2. When camera is hand held always use optical stabilization. Long exposure times and long focal lengths are your enemy. Good quality optical stabilization results sharp pictures even if exposure time is 4-stops longer.
After watching your video,I benefited a lot.Although it is simple,it is very practical.
You are the best, thank you very much for this video!
really useful. the bit of cleaning the lens I confess is something I can do better. on the continous versus single focus, just to add some cameras (I shoot Nikon) lets you pick within continous focus "focus priority or release priority". I would guess that for portraits "focus priority" should be selected. Some people like "release priority" to ensure the camera achieves its maximum frames per second. any thoughts about this?
Very helpful video with some simple common sense bits that even some of us shooting for awhile forget about.
Amazingly detailed. 🙏
That sounds like a highly informative video! Getting sharp photos is such an important aspect of photography, and it's great that there's content out there addressing common challenges. Learning about the factors that affect sharpness can really take someone's photography skills to the next level. Whether it's about understanding camera settings, mastering focus techniques, or even exploring how lighting can impact clarity, there's always something new and exciting to discover in the world of photography! 📸✨
She is very knowledgeable. Thanks a bunch for the video!
Really helpful for a beginner like me.👏🏼
Thank you 🙏 I love how you explained everything. Watching from the Philippines 🇵🇭😉 surely to top the bell button for more videos 😊❤
You are amazing! I love your videos! Thank you!!!!
Your voice is so nice to listen to! Thank you for this information :)
Super helpful. I learned a lot.
thank for all information you share
Thanks for your amazing explanation 💙💜
SO! HELPFUL! Ive been shooting portraits & keep thinking Im getting the settings right, but I still have an eye in focus & blurry nose and other eye, and its making me CRAZY! Thank you! (subscribed) ;)
Thanks for explaining this. I am going to try what you said.
You are a goddess of photography. In past few days I watched like 20 videos of you. And each one of them was soooooo useful. Thank you so much for shearing your knowledge. 🌹❤️
Ahh thank you so much!
Thank you for this!!
Thank you for these tips. I am a newer photographer and just bought a new Sony A7R III. I will be keeping this video in mind and I do my photo shoots. What would be your number one tip for someone starting out in photography?
Brilliant, thank you.
brilliant: Merci a toi! was just browsing, and, yes, you ARE pretty!!
so good!! thanks!!!!
You and your voice is so sweet feel like hearing repeatedly
Thanks for reminding me of some things and teaching me a couple new things. As a 70 year old with slight hand tremors I have been upping the shutter speed but apparently not enough. 😀
Very helpful! Thanks!
Thank you, Julia! I’ll try to photograph in continuous. All the photographers that I spoke told me to photograph only in One shot 🤷🏻♀️
Great thoughts. These are basics though. After doing these, editing with edge and high frequency brightness and colour contrast adds tons of sharpness.
very useful video. Still so much to learn. I shoot on a Fujifilm x-t30 and it's such a fine line between shutters and ISOs. Yesterday for example I was shooting two babies which was really difficult as they were both moving around so much. It was quite dark inside too so I tried to keep the aperture low enough to get a higher shutter but still not high enough so then bumping up the aperture on a camera like that past 1250 starts to make the photo look terrible. Any ideas what to do?
you for the excellent tips Thanks
Very insightful, thank you
Like 2 minutes in and you've solved the issues I was having. I didn't realize that box for showing what was going on was there, I didn't
Amazing Tips / Thanks Julia.
So great!!!
The best vídeo at the world. U are amazing, very very thanks
I've found that a UV filter sometimes with backlight can have white or grayish circle. This comes from light bouncing around. It's the main reason I no longer use them.
But sometimes there is a good reason to use them. To protect you lens from tgr elements.
Thought this was an instant subscribe and just when I was about to do just that, I found out that I am already a subscriber. Nice.
Thanks for the tips
thank you for the info
