i think he used f32 because of depth of field… if i understood correctly (my english is very bad) he was using a 105mm lens, and i think that his lens was far from the glass not more than 30cm… long focal lenses and short focus distance produce very shallow depth of field… i think that in this situation, with 105mm lens, f32 and 30cm focus distance, depth of field is not more than 1 or 2 cm!

just wondering why did he shoot at f32 … he could have done with a much lower f stop and get a decent shutter speed and depth of field… any answers?

Thanks again Bryan. Like he says in every video “You keep shooting” try every setting and see which one you like best..

@clipse85 how come you lose resolution because of a smaller f-stop? I made landscape shots at f22 as well as f8 and both shots have the resolution so i don’t understand what you mean.

HAHAHAHAHA

@chasVS391 What I said is scientific fact, and can be tested and has been tested and proven many times. It has nothing to do with being a famous photographer or not…
One can get away with F22 on negative film, but the pixel density of most digital sensors prohibits the use of those small apertures, at least if you want to make the most of the resolution of your camera.
No, I’m not a world renowned photographer, photography is my hobby, and I’m a computer engineer. What’s your background?

After all when you shoot landscapes, you need as much resolution, as you can get in order ti print really large prints, and you don’t get that at even f16, let alone f22…

Very creative and naturally talented. Brian your videos are inspiration for one to be creative. Thank you!

Bryan! Please! Get ride of that potatoe video cam!

So true. That explains why some people get hung up on the quality of the video, the audio is not crystal clear, how many megapixels or mega low light ISOs of the latest cameras instead of trying to expand their creativity. Society drums into us more is better and the latest is the greatest and we have to resist the urge
I am trying to adopt the David Duchemin philosophy “gear is good. vision is better”

Also, macro lens requires a specific technique that can be frustrating if you are not prepared. Because of the close focusing, you have to stop down to f16 to anywhere up to f32 or f45 to get reasonable DOF. This increases exposure times dramatically so a tripod is essential as in the video (20secs). A macro ring flash can help to shorten times but thats another few hundred dollars for a specialty application. You have to be committed to enjoy macro photography. Good advice Bloatedsesations.

Just be mindful of the macro-lens trap. It’s common among enthusiast photographers. A lot of people will learn of macro photography, become excited, and go out and drop a bunch of money on a high-end macro lens. They’ll spend the next three weeks shooting with nothing but that lens, then it’ll get stuffed into their camera bag and years will go by before they ever touch it again. There seems to be a fairly common “the novelty wears off” sort of factor with it for a lot of enthusiast photogs.

Thanks so much for this information on reflective vs. shoot through umbrellas. It was extremely helpful to see the photos and compare the techniques. Now I am getting an understanding of what to buy as a first time umbrella buyer. It was very excellent information.

Is that the one for $150? It’s YN565 with TTL mode right? If that’s the one then get it. It’s a great flash.

Keep uploading please. I am learning a lot from your videos


Thank you! There is already a video for that. It’s impossible to show everything in one video otherwise each video would be 30 minute long. There are many ways to use the umbrella and I’ve shown 1 the most common way in another video. The rest you’ll see if you’ve subscribed to the channel. Thanks for watching.

You’ll def see high key, low key, broad, short, Rembrandt, butterfly lighting. As always, thanks for your support.

Thanks Jib, super helpful. Trying to get into strobist and portrait photos.

ps Try to ignore the angry people. It’s them, not you! If you can, embrace all of the positive feedback. That’s what’s important.
Thanks again for helping us all out by teaching us things we may not already know.
Take care…
