Thank you for the tips
Thank you so much. much userfull
Great video
I wish you could of put the setting
Aputure 1.8
ISO 100

Woooooow thanks alot 💯💯👍
Thank you for another great video, your techniques and tips are brilliant! I learnt the hard way that focus is not always accurate-I shot a wedding where many of the photos were slightly out of focus. The camera was near new second hand 5DIV. When I sent it away for repair, they found the Auto Focus Sensors were dirty. Now it locks on to subject very well, even using through the lens focusing. I know Mirrorless AF would be better, but I'm a long way from affording that! It's easy to test each lens at all apertures in 1/3 stop increments by using a tripod and then assessing at 100% on the computer. I know the safest wide aperture for all my lenses, it helps to reduce chance of soft images. Thanks again, your content is very helpful.
Wow
Good
Thank you I learned more in this short Video than reading the instructions Manual!
Beautifully explained! Just the information I needed <3
Thanks PYE! You just saved me alot of headaches!😇🙏📷📸
He did not mention anything about how shutter speed helps the sharpness of the photo. But nice tips though.
great video
Thanks!
Great tut , thank you .
Great video!! Super helpful! Thanks for sharing!!
Your tutorials are no nonsense, to the point and informative. Thank you for making these videos very easy to follow.
if you have multiple subjects and use eye/face detection, do you pick the centre subject to focus on? or do you pick a region (mode) for focus?
Nice looking guy with comfortable voice.@frame25_ren
Simply put, thank you.
Great advice!
Thanks Pye 🤘🏻
Great advices! Thank you very much.
Hi, nice tips, love it
Is there a video on how to set the aperture when group is not linear ?
Cheers
Pye, you are a fantastic teacher. I have watched so many of your videos and each time I walk away with so many wonderful tips.
your content is gold !
Thank You 😊❤️
Good point. Focus is always your nemesis, im always pushing the limits with shallow depth vs Sharpness but even more importantly is the lighting on the faces. Especially in deep shade or in these tree bush environments, sometimes depends which way the light is coming in, its not always flattering and a big reflector is really handy especially for those closeups. another option is sometimes i bring in an off camera flash with a softener to help with contrasty natural light.
great tips! Definitely have used tons of these when shooting groups.
Excellent tutorial, the tip ref' lining your subjects up has explained a lot, common sense really but made me realise how important dof can be, thank you
Thanks for the great tips learned a lot. ❤️❤️❤️ Keep up the good work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Can you use a 85mm R lens ?
What an awesome video!!!!!!!!! Thanks for the tips and information!!!
What about those shooting slr manual cam?
So there is no such thing as having someone 5-10 ft in front of someone else and have them both in focus? Meaning one will always be blurry?
I still need to know how I can take a picture when somebody is behind me, imagine there is a nice way to shoot on a hill and ppl ae behind, you cannot put the on the samer line. The question is how they can remains sharp???"?
This content is Gold.
Thanks
It was very helpful am am photographer I will use it
The location on this videos is amazing, where is it? Looks magical those trees
Thank you
Needed this for today, been struggling with sharpness and I've just completely ignored Focus thinking the camera can do it adequately (I am an intermediate/expert user, but still very much learning and beginner when it comes to portraits and groups). Huge huge learning curve coming from my favorites of product and landscapes. Your photos are absolutely stunning btw.
This series is great! Thank you 🙏
One of the best focusing videos in youtube. I made so many shooting too close to the subject mistakes to count.
Really helpful tips. Thanks.
