Like, share, and comment on the video below...let's get the conversation started!
How did you manage to get everyone in focus at 2:21 with f5.6 aperture? I tried this with 35mm and it didn't work well.
I plugged it in a DOF calculator. 50mm at f5.6 at 6 meters away has a dof of 2 meters.
Yeah compared to the new RF 50 mm F1.2 this lens is mush city wide open...She even says she doesn’t want it to be too soft which is why she states she shoots at F2.2
Only thing is you need steady hands, but it is a great lens
I have THE WORST shaky hands! That's what Image Stabilizer is for as well as keeping a higher shutter speed. Good point!
no lens hood at 2:23. seriously, is that a technique/style?
No need - the light was mostly behind me :-)
Maung Moe check out the lighting situation, does she need to put the lens hood on?
hahahahaha you are an idiot. im a professional wedding photographer charging 8-10k for my wedding services and i do 100 weddings a year and I NEVER bother with lens hood.
robbyjai , you come across as an annoying know it all prick ....
Did you see the light? Absolutely no need for a lens hood in that situation.
Adorama I like this practical vidoes , short and valuable.
that's the idea ;-)
Do you find 1.2 is much better than 1.4? Especially when you have to capture fast moving objects (kids for example)?
Please tell me if you used the flash or any lighting extras for any of the pictures shown in this video
Nabeela Khaleelur Rahman yes some of them have off camera flash or reflectors
i'm interested on that side hip bag. Where did you get it?
Great advice for upcoming event photographers. I love that you use this lens for over half your wedding work. I agree that a 50mm is a real goto for events with its versatility. Thanks!
I have a Canon 5DSR and I don´t buy this lens ( yet) because I´m afraid the 50 megapixels don´t be sharpen like my other lenses, Sigma ART 25-35 and 85.
I haven't used the Sigma ART series myself, but I have hear GREAT things!
There are also many Wedding photographers that love the Canon 35mm f1.4 and 24-105mm f4L, what are your opinions on those lenses?
I have the 35mm, and sold my 24-105. It's preference and style really. f/4 wasn't helping me much since I shoot around 2.2-3.5 most of the time.
I really like the concise information in this video!
glad you do!
Ok ma'am which camera you're using it
And which lenses do you mostly use it
Canon 1DX II and 50mm 1.2
why 50mm 1.2, if you used it at aperture 1.8 and more?
Good question! It has better glass, focusing, clarity, etc.
Vanessa Joy the canon 50 1.4 has faster focusing though, the 1.2 is notoriously slower, don’t know about the sharpness but i think a sigma 50 1.4 would be better for her work
@@AJ-wv3rs 50/1.2 is not "notoriously slower". It's fine. The 50/1.4 is a much worse lens, with a focus motor that breaks easily. Also, much worse at f/1.4.
Great video! what the bag youre using @ 2:01?
that's a Boda Bag :-)
Hello and thank you for sharing😊.... going to get my camera out again x
So glad you enjoyed! Happy shooting! :)
I adore the 50mm!!! I feel like I use it the most for ANY kind of photography that I shoot! :)
YASSSSSS
Nice video and very informative! I just buy my first DSLR camera Canon EOS 800D ! The kit lens is a 18-55mm ! I ordered the Canon 50mm 1.8 ! Thanks!
Wow like
all rang thx!
Outstanding work!!!! Every photograph was perfect.
aw thanks!
What about 50mm 1.8 would that be a good lens
entry level lens you mean
Don’t have this lens... but I understand what you mean. Looks like a perfect lens.
I enjoyed the video!!! I love the way you teach!!! Thanx
thx so much!
canon 70d is best for wedding events ?
I tend to like the 5D MARK IV for events right now, and the one I use the IDXII
70D is not best for weddings.
50mm ❤
what cannon camera do you shoot with. It looks big??
Fun fact, there is not examples with f1.2 and 1.4!
fak1t just bc the lens goes that low doesn’t mean you have to use it there :)
nice.. i like it
Nice lens, but if I had a lens like that, I'm gonna push it to 1.2 no matter what just to get my money's worth.
Interesting thought - maybe I just stink at focusing that shallow!
If you’re going to wear all black, then wear all black, not a tan belt and (especially) shoes. LOL
lol - you're so cute to be giving fashion advise Bob
Cute boots - what size are they? Liked how they look at 1:00... like the Keebler Elves'. How do you stay so slim... i think I'd be eating too much at all the receptions and probably miss all the important shots. Oh, and I guess nice work... lol.
lol - you're hysterical. I think they're Lucky boots. :-)
there is any point in using 1.2 lenses at 2.2?
Massaki Di yes there is!!! Common sense
Yes, of course. One uses the aperture that is appropriate for the shot and for the desired depth of field. This is common sense. Or photography 101.
👍✳️👍✳️👍✳️
wow! that group picture at 1:21 how do you get everyone's faces to look so clear and sharp when the aperture is only f2.8
easy. everyone's faces are not in focus. If you were to have that blown up or made into a print, the girl second from the right would be out of focus. Otherwise, you just gotta line the clients up as straight as you can.
I struggle with confidence
You are inspiring!
yay!
Is that rf or ef? What r u offer?
Which lens do you use to shoot group pics in Weddings. I thing 50mm and 85mm can be used only for portrait shots because if I shoot bride and groom with these even if my F- stop is 2 or lower, both the subject doesn't end up crisp or in focus.
By the way, I am NIKON :)
I use the 50 and 85 for groups is I can! And for landscapes too. I like the compression of the lenses so if I have the room to back up I'll use them - but you're correct, I'm NOT using them at 1.2... more like 5.6 for groups.
@@VanessaJoy can you have a wedding in the church to take group photos at the time of the ceremony, with 50 mm or hold your distance?
0:35 chopped his hand off and the top of his hair.. Hm.. 🤔
it is a stunning photo
hallo adorama
which one the best canon 24-105 or canon 17-40 for big family or grup shot
Depends how far away you can walk back from the group. I prefer longer lenses
24-105 is fine , if you are using a full frame
Canon comercial
there are Nikon and Sony and Sigma equivalents to these lenses - but I'm not going to talk about what I don't know or use!
photographerjonathan A very good one at that😉👌🏼👍🏻
Short and sweet! Thank you!
Thank you!!!!!!!
Would you use this lens on an apsc sensor at wedding reception
Ibrahk 5 yes you can. But due to crop factor you'll have an equivalent to 80mm instead of 50mm, which is not bad. My friend and I shoot weddings and I have 2 cameras, canon T6i with my 50mm 1.2 on it and 6d markii with 135mm.
Nice video well done
glad you like!
love your pictures, I have an entry level camera the canon T7i, having issues with indoors/night pictures, any recommendation?
Use the rght setup camera like iso, wb, etc
Nice video but what a ridiculous price tag for a prime lens, frankly.
That's why I recommend the 1.4 if the 1.2 breaks the bank ;-)
Thank you sister .you are good teacher ☄
aw thx :-)
I'm not fan of canon
I'm sorry to hear!
Hi, I'm alone gonna shoot a wedding in few days so should I go with 50mm only? I neither have a second shooter nor extra camera body and I love this lens easy to carry and good result. I'll be shooting portraits and groups so is it okay to with one lens and shoot whole event? Pls reply!
do you know dear there is also NIKON shooters out there .. not to mention sony and fuji ... so would be great to tell the other photographers who dont shoot CANON what other lenses that can u use as well as you love and feel its best .. especially you are generalizing your video fro wedding photographerS .... so speak everybody language in a way that all brands can related together .. cause again .. not everyone have your canon lens dear .. they have Nikon and fuji and sony ..... as I mention earlier ... cheers
lol - Nikon and Sony make a 50mm equivalent too, though I believe only a 1.4 instead of a 1.2. But like Steve said, I can't talk about what I don't use - that would be quite ingenuous.
Go watch another video duhh
RAMSEY SPENCER how much canon pay this video?
