Photography Tutorial 10 ( Action )

[pliraya]

Thanks alot, this is great! After this video I'm left with a question though. When you use big aperture, as for instance your boxing picture with f/1,8, to compensate for the light you lose by using high shutter speed, will you not be bothered by the depth of field? The focus range will be very short, and even if your autofocus does its job, lots of the subject will still be blurry with such a low aperture? Getting a sharp action picture, with that low aperture seems impossible to me.

[PhaipherGirl]

I love your videos :) they have helped me a lot! :D I just have one question, for example: when taking a photo of a fast horse, I use manual focus right?

Because since it happens sooo fast my camera wont focus I guess, Am I right or what shold I do?

[musepigg]

How about if I want to freeze a movement far away, but my aperture is 3.5 (in order to capture the moment sharp) and therefore gives a short depth of field?

I love this!!! I have 3 small very active children! And 2 of them are in sports! Thank you!!!

[harmonybyt]

[ElChamo7576]

Watching your videos has been so helpful man!! I have a much better understanding about photography after watching your video. I will take full advantage of my camera potential. Keep up the good work. We will support you.

Thanks

[boxing84batman]

Thank you so much. This has helped me out A LOT.

[dantheman1507]

can I send you some photos on that email address?

[FontanaKnowledge]

@KineticVids Sure am =o)

[kptkyle]

There is alot of great information here. I am deffinetly going to subscribe and watch the rest of your videos. Ive been wanting to buy a new camera for a while now but due to my lack of knowledge am a little scared to shell out the cash. I found this video looking for action shots of different cameras. I am looking for a camera that will be able to take action shots like this (motocross/sports) but don't really know what i need. Any tips, or know where to find more information.

[mrdarcy007]

Your videos are the best there is without question. I've just bought my first DSLR camera and am really looking forward to taking some great pics. All the videos i've watched upto now and including yours have said that if you have a large apeture you will have a blurred background, but in your action tuturiol you have a picture of a race horse and you shot it with an apeture of f/2.8 and the background is not as blurred as you would expect with such a large apeture.

[p10power]

Love your work buddy. I have just sat down and watched the first 10 tutorials straight! Extremely helpful. I'm looking forward to watching the rest tomorrow night. I'm not sure if you really wanted to everyone's photos, but if you have a sec, check 'em out... OK it wont let me link! Take a look at the 'website' link on my channel =)

PS: you rock! Thanks so much for sharing

[adn02d]

these vidoes have been extremely helpful. You mentioned that for action shots, you'll select your desired shutter speed, then set the appropriate aperture, then adjust ISO. I may be thinking too much into this, but I'm trying to see if there's a basic order of steps to follow for setting up any type of shot, be it action, portrait, micro etc. Would you consider these to be the first 3 steps of setting up your shots, and then perhaps setting the white balance, then metering...what's ur process?

[FontanaKnowledge]

@adn02d I normally only adjust my ISO from the lowest possible (100) when it is a necessity so I guess it would always remain 3rd on the list. If I am looking to freeze action or make it blur I know I must prioritize my shutter speed. If I am looking for a certain depth of field I would have to put my aperture first.

I hope this helps =o) Peace

[zernestro]

man, you totally rock!

[everettesfit]

dude, your info is off the chain and has helped me a bunch.

[wtfznet]

You either really like that sort or film alot on one day :P

[yiyilore]

YOU ARE AWESOME !!! thanks a lottt ,really u are so good teaching and also a nice personality .I am learning from ur videos more than the classroom !

Great job .GBU ,Peru.

[ruwanindika]

hey Man, thanks for all the Videos , I am watching these in Taiwan. I am question, increasing aperture will add depth of field , so If I want to make a night photograph of a night view I want everything to be on focus , so what I do is reduce aperture to around f10 , keep ISO at 100 and use a longer shutter speed like 15seconds , is this the right approach ??? I am using a Canon 500D

[FontanaKnowledge]

@ruwanindika You got it. You will definitely need a tripod for this. Good luck

[marciacortez]

Thanks!! I love your tips and lessons. I have two kids, and a husband who plays hockey, so your actioins tips are very helpful :) All your lessons are very much appreciated.

[China749]

million thanks again...shutter speed was a complete blur to me...but after i watched your video for a few times...i finally got it...I can't find my words to thank you....

[murdoch562]

Cant thank you enough for these videos and your enthusiasm. Great Job. Simon-UK

[tissa71]

for some reason when i put my shutter speed on lets say 1/1000 sec or higher, my cam wouldn't allow me to put aperture on less than 5.6 so i get a black square. Why?? :(

P.S. I have Sony Alpha

[FontanaKnowledge]

Your lens may only be a 5.6 or it might be that it is a variable lens, Meaning that if you are zoomed in all the way it only goes to 5.6.

Try zooming out and see if it still happens. It could just be a coincidence that you are shooting fast. If thats not the problem I don't know what it could be. =o(

Anyhow I hope this helped

[tissa71]

thank you! I zoomed out and it helped a little. Now I could move it to 2.8. Still didn't really work, but I guess it may be because I am trying to shoot in my room with a pretty low light.

My camera aperture is suppose to be on the scale of 1.4-22. At least that is what the info says, but I do not know. I am still learning the camera pretty much (and trying to do all the cool things you are talking about at the same time and see what happens) =) Thanks again!

[element1988]

My problem is that if i wanna take an action shot, but i am planning on selling the photo as stock or w/e, then how do i take a higher iso pic without noise?

[pulpnonfiction13]

BRETT FAVRE IS GOD

[dantheman1507]

if I want to make a pic at 1/1000 of a sec ot's not bright enough... not even with my ISO at max sometimes, what should I do?

[VegasBoy65]

so this means i need a tripod coz 2 seconds or greater causes my camera to move...

[KupasNaLarawan]

Hey FK,

Really enjoy your tutorials. I would like to make a suggestion though. It would be great if you could also show some practical examples on your video. It would really add to the learning process for us newbies I think! :) Keep up the great work nevertheless!
