If you want to keep working with Haylynn, I'm sure there won't be any complaints. She looks very much like a fashion model, and she poses well, too. It certainly has become popular to shoot wide open to get all the bokeh one can. But the main subject does need to be sharp. I haven't done a focus test in a while. Maybe I should do that. I'm going to start shooting my mirrorless camera more, so - two focus tests, coming up! Thanks for another helpful video.
I saw another video that shooting wide open you smooth the models skin. It is better to stop down the aperture. The problem is why you spend extra money to buy a fast lens if you are going to shoot at f2.8 or f4.
Hi, Omegaman. Thank you for stopping by. Happy new year to you, btw. Oh, the reason I won't recommend using anything less than F2 is because it can be so shallow and if/when the subject moves a little, we may get her eyes out of focus.
Thank you so much Sir Andrew, i watched this show for 3 times just to make sure i dont forget . You are one of the best on youtube. Love your teaching .

A DSLR camera body needs calibrating for front focus or back focus issues on a per lens basis, if the body supports entering an offset. In my experience, it is a very tedious process and requires a methodical and meticulous approach. This is one reason why I switched to a mirrorless body, and I have really enjoyed the absence of the need to calibrate. I also appreciate EVF and focus performance on the mirrorless body, and generally nail my focus even at f/1.4. Enjoyed your video, and I think it helps to demonstrate that understanding your equipment is important when taking photos, let alone the art of composing and prepping for photos. Keep up the great work!

AFAIK, without changing subject composition, f1.8 DoF on crop and FF is the same. When you move to recompose the subject with FF and crop do we see differences. Unless you are also talking about the different DoF blur perception on crop vs FF without moving simply because you see more on frame
@@ayuchanayuko no, only if the photographer is on the same place, but with the crop he needs to step back to put the subject again on the frame. When step back changes the equation of Depth of field
Reminded of the time when i shot with one of my friends camera, and the entire viewfinder was blurred up no matter where the lens was looking at, took me a while to discover that the viewfinder's diopter could be adjusted and it was off by a lot.

hi Andrew and team... nice comprehensive presentation in rainy day... good explanation with different cameras and lenses.. stay blessed.. .. always have chance to learn new..😍😍😍
I have found the same thing with the Pentax k-3 I have. At 1.4 shooting through the eyepiece it just a little less sharp than shooting with live view. And at any rate, having a model with eyes as beautiful as those blurry would be a crime! 🙂
You should try a Fujifilm X-T3 ... What a JOY to work with! I have self used Nikon for 15 years, but just shifted, I should have doing this for years ago, much better pictures. I mainly use ISO 100 or even ISO 80 ... With no problem at all.

I would say find a location for the light, as at F1.0-F2.8 the background is irrelevant as so out of focus. I do a general composure, focus, then shoot. As in post processing you can adjust minor composition issues. Then I only manual focus.

Interesting video. In my opinion are all the photos blurry to me. Try an other camera and see the difference. Yest you have to Kalibrate the lenses. Hope to see a new video with clear and sharp portraits
DSLRs are notorius for having viewfinder phase focusing not aligned with contrast or dual pixel (live view) focusing. If live view was easy to use for flying birds, and if it didnt drain the battery quickly, I'd shoot live view all the time for accurate focusing or adjust the lens focus calibration in camera which changes the viewfinder focusing to match it with live view. The only thing is not all cameras offer such focus fine-tuning feature.

Trade it in for a Canon, blurry will be gone. Lol really great videos keep up the good work very informative and if you ever stop being a photographer you could be a stand-up comedian very funny😅
Unless the lens has been calibrated to the Nikon body, that is very possibly the reason why you are getting soft results 1.4. In this instance you are back focusing, and it's easily corrected. It was sharp on her hair/ear. Both my D7000 and D850 needed to be calibrated to the lens and it made a huge difference and has nothing to do with the age of the camera.
So, an aged camera when properly calibrated, will still work just as fine. This is great advice Sir. Thank youuu for sharing that with all of us 😍😍😍. We appreciate it very much. - Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -
@@rinothmani6064 my D850 needed to be calibrated to each lens brand new. I believe this is only a Nikon 'adjustment' my 2 son's Canon 5D3 and R6 don't have this adjustment, not sure why. Im told that its due to slight manufacturing differences between lenses and this procedure 'fine tunes' the AF. What model do you have? By the way, the procedure is very different between the D7000 and D850.
@@mikeconnor3602I don't own a camera yet, hopefully soon. I agree with you about the manufacturing differences.

i ve been shooting for more than 7 years with all my cameras and lenses around f1.2 and 1.8, it is not as bad as presented. I buy an expense lense to shoot as wide as open possible. So i woulnd t buy a lens to shoot above 2.8. In real world of photography 1.2 works just fine if you practice.

Today's digital equipment is so sharp it surgical. That's OK for commercial work I guess but for personal work I use older cameras and lenses where I actually have better control. Some of it 40 year old Nikon, I can still get tack sharp if I need it but I can still control other looks.
MANUAL FOCUS is the right answer!!!! If it is still blurry, change your contact lens, or get eyeglasses. Why doesn't camera makers make SPLIT PRISM anymore for manual focusing? That is really good for film cameras. They should have it on DSLRs/MILCs.
I really love your videos, but IMHO this time it is far away from the spot. Maybe you should use state-of-the-art cameras from Olympus or even Sony, which have eye focus detection. Furthermore, the lenses, especially the Olympus Pro lenses, are absolutely sharp even at f1.2. But, if you want to be out of focus, try to focus manually. ;-)

What I could understand myself... I checked the pictures with the Nikon D7200 and Nikon Z50... The same results that the lens wide open, Nikon 50mm F1.8 and Yongnuo 35mm F2 are not sharp and stopped down to 2.8 they are not sharper than the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8. Resume, only very expensive lenses or the new Viltrox prime lenses are wide open sharp! That you need to calibrate the lenses is safer, and your old camera is good for the Junk My old Nikon D7200 didn't change the calibration.
When you have to shoot portraits with a blurry background why not stopping down and getting closer to the subject, or making your shuttle speed lower and stopping down as as much as you can with a higher ISO level?!! Focusing isn't a problem for a portrait if you keep your depth of field in knowledge as to where to focus and how much will be in focus!! For example, if you focus between the the eye and the ear you get away with out of focus nose to back of the head even with a wide aperture!! But still to be on the safe side one must stop down to remain sharp all and all and the last but not the least why we always try to take pictures with a blurry background when there's wonderful background around and I mean the atmospheric portraits are sometimes great like the one you have here with a rainy day and everything was under the vail of soft blanket of atmosphere!!
why all the !!!!! exclamation mark akin to shouting? good suggestion, though, but not everything can be solved with shooting closer (example, at the end of the video where we need to shoot full-body). And DOF has nothing to do with a camera being out-of-focus due to misaligned focus sensor, as the video is showing here. I think you may need to rewatch this video and re-understand the goal (right after the title sequences)
So not shooting in the low f number like 1.4.... 🤔 hows that most photographers do shoot portraits in those f1.2, .4,.8 2 numbers? And they are still sharp with no so good cameras 🤷🏽♂️

Blurring a background to where it's indistinguishable most of the time makes precious little sense to me. Then why make the effort of choosing a beautiful location only to blur the f**k out of it, making it just a wash of blurry color? I already hear some of you going "That's my style. It makes my subject stand out and looks really beautiful." I counter with you can blur a background but it doesn't always have to be blurred to oblivion. Choosing a gorgeous location and blurring it to colorful soup is illogical at best. It's a very one-trick-pony way of shooting everything. Nothing wrong with blur but the level of blur a lot of you want in your images is just ridiculous to me.
Thanks for sharing that with us 😍. We appreciate your opinions and wise comments. Support our e-learnings too at beyond.photos - Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -
Oh crap, the reason for your poor focus is the drab background for your composures, and the paleness of your model (although she is cute). Therefore the problem is the camera's battle with contrast. Geez, your results are poor considering the cost of your equipment. However, thanks for trying.
If you look at the fine yellowish lines at the border of her iris, if it is not a effect of a contact lens then this girl need to consult a doctor, could be a very high level of cholesterol.
Oh no, let's hope it's just the effect of contact lenses. Thanks on behalf of Haylynn, we appreciate your concern ❤️❤️❤️. - Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -
This is the worse episode I have watched from you Andrew yeah sure shooting at the widest aperture can be tricky and im sure you know how to make it right. In this video you showed that it can't be done with a dslr which is ridiculous, instead you fixed the problem by shifting to a mirrorless camera totally insane. Bad episode Andrew. 😔
U totally missed the solution for dslr. Watch again: moving focus point fixed it. And u also missed the point of this episode: old dslr will alwys hv horrible bck or front focus.

Yes. Sometimes i did that shot but the eyes was blurry.
Quick question, is it the camera or the lens that goes out of calibration?
Oh for the days of split screen manual focus SLRs where you did your own focusing and nothing was faster or more accurate.
We got great lessons on photography here at Beyond Photography website. Be sure to check it out

Of course, we old guys will simply manually focus on the point of greatest interest.
i ve been shooting for more than 7 years with all my cameras and lenses around f1.2 and 1.8, it is not as bad as presented. I buy an expense lense to shoot as wide as open possible. So i woulnd t buy a lens to shoot above 2.8. In real world of photography 1.2 works just fine if you practice.
You're right, with practice it will work just fine. Thanks for the advise ❤️❤️❤️. Don't miss our time-limited Black Friday promo, and subscribe NOW at beyond.photos

Simple solution is to shoot in manual focus.
Good tip there Sir. Thanks for sharing 😍😍😍.

I use back button focus, no issues's then....
Now, I might have to upgrade…
Yes, an upgrade would be great 😊.

Today's digital equipment is so sharp it surgical. That's OK for commercial work I guess but for personal work I use older cameras and lenses where I actually have better control. Some of it 40 year old Nikon, I can still get tack sharp if I need it but I can still control other looks.
Is it possible to know your work?
I like your video but still get some flash technique
Thanks James Lam ❤️.

How old will your camera be when it's focusing out of place? More than 5 years?
So how to get sharp photos on old cameras?
Do support our Beyond Photography lessons by subscribing. More and more are surely making its way 😍😍😍

MANUAL FOCUS is the right answer!!!! If it is still blurry, change your contact lens, or get eyeglasses. Why doesn't camera makers make SPLIT PRISM anymore for manual focusing? That is really good for film cameras. They should have it on DSLRs/MILCs.

I really love your videos, but IMHO this time it is far away from the spot. Maybe you should use state-of-the-art cameras from Olympus or even Sony, which have eye focus detection. Furthermore, the lenses, especially the Olympus Pro lenses, are absolutely sharp even at f1.2. But, if you want to be out of focus, try to focus manually. ;-)
Wow, Olympus and Sony are great cameras 👍. Manual focus also works. Thanks for sharing that 😍😍😍. Check out our Black Friday at beyond.photos ... Don't miss it, and sign-up NOW before it ends.

They use black mist filter
What I could understand myself... I checked the pictures with the Nikon D7200 and Nikon Z50... The same results that the lens wide open, Nikon 50mm F1.8 and Yongnuo 35mm F2 are not sharp and stopped down to 2.8 they are not sharper than the Sigma 17-50mm F2.8. Resume, only very expensive lenses or the new Viltrox prime lenses are wide open sharp! That you need to calibrate the lenses is safer, and your old camera is good for the Junk My old Nikon D7200 didn't change the calibration.
lol sorry but I have to say the problem is the Nikon camera !!! I had that issues so many times ...
No don't be sorry, all is good 😉. Thanks for watching and leaving your comment 😍😍😍.

When you have to shoot portraits with a blurry background why not stopping down and getting closer to the subject, or making your shuttle speed lower and stopping down as as much as you can with a higher ISO level?!! Focusing isn't a problem for a portrait if you keep your depth of field in knowledge as to where to focus and how much will be in focus!! For example, if you focus between the the eye and the ear you get away with out of focus nose to back of the head even with a wide aperture!! But still to be on the safe side one must stop down to remain sharp all and all and the last but not the least why we always try to take pictures with a blurry background when there's wonderful background around and I mean the atmospheric portraits are sometimes great like the one you have here with a rainy day and everything was under the vail of soft blanket of atmosphere!!
why all the !!!!! exclamation mark akin to shouting? good suggestion, though, but not everything can be solved with shooting closer (example, at the end of the video where we need to shoot full-body). And DOF has nothing to do with a camera being out-of-focus due to misaligned focus sensor, as the video is showing here. I think you may need to rewatch this video and re-understand the goal (right after the title sequences)
That is way i buy mirorrles camera .
Yes, mirrorless camera is the so awesome 😍.

I am studio photographer
make a video 35mm.1.8 vs 50mm 1.8
We will surely take it into consideration when making new Mansor. Remember to support our E-Learning courses ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
Channel admin Farah N 😉 😉 😉
So not shooting in the low f number like 1.4.... 🤔 hows that most photographers do shoot portraits in those f1.2, .4,.8 2 numbers? And they are still sharp with no so good cameras 🤷🏽♂️
They calibrate their lens or their not so good cameras are still good, or the postprocess

That's okay. You can always rewatch this video, I do too. Thanks for watching ❤️❤️❤️.

Blurring a background to where it's indistinguishable most of the time makes precious little sense to me. Then why make the effort of choosing a beautiful location only to blur the f**k out of it, making it just a wash of blurry color? I already hear some of you going "That's my style. It makes my subject stand out and looks really beautiful." I counter with you can blur a background but it doesn't always have to be blurred to oblivion. Choosing a gorgeous location and blurring it to colorful soup is illogical at best. It's a very one-trick-pony way of shooting everything. Nothing wrong with blur but the level of blur a lot of you want in your images is just ridiculous to me.
Thanks for sharing that with us 😍. We appreciate your opinions and wise comments. Support our e-learnings too at beyond.photos

… so the lesson we learned is that your camera needs calibrated?
Oh crap, the reason for your poor focus is the drab background for your composures, and the paleness of your model (although she is cute). Therefore the problem is the camera's battle with contrast. Geez, your results are poor considering the cost of your equipment. However, thanks for trying.
You're welcome. Thanks for your feedback 😉.
- Rin Othmani, Channel Admin -
Oh why do you talk like that?
conclusion: at least buy a z 5 or z6
Simple conclusion there Terry Yu, thanks ❤️❤️❤️.

It is bad. Like very bad.

He is too behind technology, still focus, recompose.
Says who? Says this kid who just started photography in 2020?
Spent too much time explaining to the point I got even out focus sorry I got even blurred than before I first watched your. ❤❤❤ video
I am going to tell your wife ha ha
🤣 🤣 🤣 Noooooo 🤣🤣🤣 Poor2 Andrew 😂😂😂
If you look at the fine yellowish lines at the border of her iris, if it is not a effect of a contact lens then this girl need to consult a doctor, could be a very high level of cholesterol.
Oh no, let's hope it's just the effect of contact lenses. Thanks on behalf of Haylynn, we appreciate your concern ❤️❤️❤️.

You speak like jackie chan
I AM Jackie Chan 🤣😅
This is the worse episode I have watched from you Andrew yeah sure shooting at the widest aperture can be tricky and im sure you know how to make it right. In this video you showed that it can't be done with a dslr which is ridiculous, instead you fixed the problem by shifting to a mirrorless camera totally insane. Bad episode Andrew. 😔
U totally missed the solution for dslr. Watch again: moving focus point fixed it. And u also missed the point of this episode: old dslr will alwys hv horrible bck or front focus.
this is fantastic, nice tips
