Very helpful! I've tried to figure this out so Many times and asked many well known photogs who always tell me it's the lens, it's the lens.. Well I have decent lens for an amateur, and finally because of this am able to get the effect and most importantly understand it!
i was just wondering , toatly off subject, if i want to buy a lens and it says sony mount after it, e.g tamron 70 - 3oo (sony mount) ... will it fit on my sony a55
@hansen4 The most annoying thing in the world would be for him to start s p e a k i n g r e a l l y s l o w l y just so the few people in the world who can't speak English properly can understand him better.
do you have any basic tips for a photographer who wants to do photoshoots of people? And short film,....I have a nikon d5000, a 18-55mm lense, and a 50mm 1.8 lense, and a uv filter and a polerizer filter
@ashfenner2 It works with any camera which has control over the aperture, although a point-and-shoot model won't show the effect as much. Try zooming all the lens all the way in and focusing very close to the subject - and making sure the background is far away.
this camera beast!! i use most for time-lapse photography. i just need to trigger it with this little remote: TEMPUS. works with MEX 5, 5N and 7. website at: tempus.bymac.org

I am 13 and am looking for a great begginer/intermediate SLR.
I went to Henrys and the man working there told me that for under 2k, the Nikon D7000 is the camera which he would reccomend with the Nikon (not sure if its the Nikor one though... if there are different Nikon/Nikor ones) 18 - 200mm
I was already planning on the Nikon D7000 - so would that be a good idea?
@newyorkblues100 Yes it can using the same modes, but due to its shorter actual focal length, you'll need to zoom-in a LOT, and make sure the background is as far away as possible.
@cameralabs Ok, I'll try again, again, and again. I'm a novice, you know. Or perhaps I'll just buy a Nikon D700 with 18 - 200mm lens. I've heard that this is worth the money. Thanks a lot!
i jus got canon EOS 550D with default 18-55mm IS lens kit. and i have Kingston 8GB SDHC class 4 memory card. but when i try to take take video, the camera jus stops recordign after few seconds saying "recording stopped automatically".. which class SDHC memory card solves this problem..??
Hi, this is my first post on net hoping it is answered. I have S1065 samsung point and shoot camera. No, i cant change to DSLR since its very expensive. Yet i want great great photos :) now please give me lots of tips to bring life to my pictures. As i cant see colors in them(since i cant capture RAW :'( ) I want to capture wonders. Please guide.
@meloveyou38 ISO 3200 is a bit high! You can achiee the same exposure and depth of field by reducing the ISO and shutter speed - so instead of 1/1000 at 3200 ISO, you could have 1/500 at 1600 ISO, 1/250 at 800 ISO, 1/125 at 400 ISO and so on. It's much easier to just use aperture priority though. Set the f number you want, set the ISO you want and the camera wil choose a shutter speed to match.
Hi there, I've Nikon D5100 with AF-S 18-55 lens. I tried Aperture as per ur session but camera is taking time to take photo. Say like 1/2 secs and the results photos are getting blur.
When in in Aperture mode (A). The least aperture is F5.6 and highest F36. At F5.6 the number to the left of it (its shutter speed if I'm right) is adjusting itself to 1.6" to 1/60.
I guess its because I'm trying all this in my apartment in room light and not in day light. Can that be the reason?
you are like my favourite person to watch for camera advice :) thank you so much, you really help a lot!! i'm only starting out so i have loads to learn. i bought a canon 1100D about 3 months ago and i love it. allways talking pictures and when i'm not i am watching videos about taking pictures haha. keep up the good work and helping clueless people like me :)

ur great, just to let you know. Im an aspiring photographer and have watch every one of your videos. Each is fantastically explanatory and well structured. Thanks
I just found your videos and am so glad I did!I was wondering if you can recommend an affordable lens for a 60D Canon camera, that has a bigger aperture? :-) Thank you a lot for making these great and very informative videos! They help A LOT!
Your channel is probably my favorite when it comes to photography tutorials. I'm getting a Canon 500D soon and cannot wait to experiment with all the things I've been learning from your videos.
@umair9926 it has to do with the aperture...for the focal length...if you're zoomed in more and have a slightly smaller aperture it is possible to get the same effect too
I have tried this technique in Av mode and seem to get a "bluish" hue to my photos. I am using a Canon XSi with 18-55mm lens. Any troubleshooting tips?
It really depends on what you're shooting. That could be a problem with UV, or white balance problems. A UV filter or doing manual white balance should fix that.
You most likely have a white balance issue. Change your WB setting to match the lighting in the room. If you've never done this its most likely that AWB or auto white balance is not very accurate.
@gregreser1 buy yourself at least 35 or 50mm 1.8 ;)
very cheap, very good, using Nikkor 35mm 1.8 now for about 3-4 months for portraits and night/low light photography, and i have to admit, VERY GOOD LENS FOR SUCH A CHEAP PRICE
don't know the price Canons 35mm but, it must be good ;)
i'm assuming since your zoomed in and its f/5.6 this is a standard 18-55mm lense, wouldnt it actaully be more effective to zoom out use the f/3.5 and just get closer?
The depth of field gets smaller at a larger focal length. If you want your subject to stand out from a very close background, a longer focal length is actually better.
@EdzIsMurderer Low ISO, use the Aperature Priority Mode, make sure your camera can handle the shutter speed. (My 1000D can only handle up to about 1/4000.)
Is it possible to do that effect on a normal camera like the Nikon s6000 ? I've been dying to do that effect so bad for years. I think I need to buy a professional camera like you have to do that :(
as far as I can see see your camera does not feature any manual control so you won't be able to controle your aperture entirely on your own.
But stil if you use your highest focal lense (just zoom in as far as you can) and if you reduce your distance as much as you can you might get some thing like bokeh :)
and you don't need to buy a professional camera. A s95 or ex1 might be good too.
I know most people with slr cameras buy them and use them in manual modes by setting aperature, iris, etc.. What confuses me is how is this all set up in time if you need to take a picture right at that second. Say you're in a tour group that keeps moving from point to point at a fast rate. Are the people so good at manual control that it only takes a second to set up for a good shot?
@roblox84 I thought the same thing but I recently bought a DSLR and they're ideal of posed or still images in the mode you talk about. I was in Paris recently and our holiday photos were so different to what we normally take that they are much more interesting to look at and offer much more of the mood that the holiday had. The reward is worth the prep. For instant photos that occur immediately the auto setting is a brilliant tool too.
@roblox84 someone who has been shooting manually for years, ie since before automatic mode existed, could probably do it pretty quickly. but almost everyone would use auto for that situation.
hello sir thanks a lot for your tips,,i took some photos in AV mode with 18-55mm lens with F4.5 but the background wasn't blur,,can you please help me?
I'm not the man with the huge amount of cash. What reasonably cheap lens would you suggest for maximum blur of background? I've seen photos where bacground is very blurred even though the zomm haven't been used or has been used just a little. I got Canon 1000D. Thanx!

The Canon EF 50mm f1.8. The cheapest cannon lens, fast f1.8 aperture which sucks in loads of lights, great optical quality and a fixed 50mm prime focal length. Cheap and great for low light shooting portraiture work and producing a shallow depth of field/boekah.

@painpainpain Canon 1000D is an entry-level DSLR camera which is great for beginners. Depth of Field is not just the camera, but also the focal length and the distance between the camera and the object. If you can't get enough depth of field, get farther from the object and zoom (use a larger focal length number) so you will get shallower depth of field. Even the kit lens is good for taking good portraits.
Thank you for these, they are clean,concise, and easy to Follow, i'm just an amatuer, i'm only sixteen, but my next year at school myself and my art teacher have twisted the schools arm to provode a course for photograpy, so these video's have been a huge help.
hello thanks a lot for your tips its making big difference,,i took some photos in AV mode with 18-55mm lens with F4.5 but the background wasn't that blur,,so i was thinking if i buy the large lens like tamron 70-135mm ,will it help more in making the background blur,,,please i need your advice,
@khan848419 you need a lens that has large zoom and small f-number.. iow usually a bigger price-tag! if you don't use a lot of zoom though you can save a lot of money by buying a fixed-lens with large small f-numer, such as the canon 50mm f1.8, which is excellent for portraits
@khan848419 you need a lens with large zoom and small f-number... iow a big price-tag! however, if you don't need much zoom capability, you can save a lot of money by buying a fixed lens with large aperture, such as the canon 50mm f1.8 which is very good for portraits and cheap.
sir gordon i juz bought my eos 550 d 2 months ago and i haven't use it for a week and when im about to use it, the built in flash could not be raised and it says " error 05 the built in cam could not be raised, please turn the camera off and on again" but i itried saveral times and it goes the same way.. hope you could give me some advise.. thank u so much...
If I had a normal camera with a lens with a very small F-Number like 1,8. Would I be able to achieve this effect regardless of whether it is a DSLR or not?
@harvey288 It depends on the model. usually point and shoot cameras have very small sensor, which results in lenses being very short, which makes it difficult to obtain a shallow dept of field. What you could try is putting your camera in A (perture priority) mode, select the lowest F-number available, zoom in as much as possible and try to increase the distance between the subject and background as much as possible. Ideally some distant mountains in the background and the subject on +/-2 meter.

Do a video yourself, then, I'm sure you're the best one in the world.
Why, instead of complaining, you do not share some tutorial?

I know most people with slr cameras buy them and use them in manual modes by setting aperature, iris, etc.. What confuses me is how is this all set up in time if you need to take a picture right at that second. Say you're in a tour group that keeps moving from point to point at a fast rate. Are the people so good at manual control that it only takes a second to set up for a good shot?

@roblox84 I thought the same thing but I recently bought a DSLR and they're ideal of posed or still images in the mode you talk about. I was in Paris recently and our holiday photos were so different to what we normally take that they are much more interesting to look at and offer much more of the mood that the holiday had. The reward is worth the prep. For instant photos that occur immediately the auto setting is a brilliant tool too.

@roblox84 someone who has been shooting manually for years, ie since before automatic mode existed, could probably do it pretty quickly. but almost everyone would use auto for that situation.

Hi! Nice video!
I'm not the man with the huge amount of cash. What reasonably cheap lens would you suggest for maximum blur of background? I've seen photos where bacground is very blurred even though the zomm haven't been used or has been used just a little. I got Canon 1000D. Thanx!

The Canon EF 50mm f1.8. The cheapest cannon lens, fast f1.8 aperture which sucks in loads of lights, great optical quality and a fixed 50mm prime focal length. Cheap and great for low light shooting portraiture work and producing a shallow depth of field/boekah.

@painpainpain Canon 1000D is an entry-level DSLR camera which is great for beginners. Depth of Field is not just the camera, but also the focal length and the distance between the camera and the object. If you can't get enough depth of field, get farther from the object and zoom (use a larger focal length number) so you will get shallower depth of field. Even the kit lens is good for taking good portraits.

Same way, zoom in a bit and change the aperture. To change the aperture on the SX30 IS, check your manual.

@khan848419 you need a lens that has large zoom and small f-number.. iow usually a bigger price-tag! if you don't use a lot of zoom though you can save a lot of money by buying a fixed-lens with large small f-numer, such as the canon 50mm f1.8, which is excellent for portraits

i have a point and shoot with a telephoto equvilent lens if i put it on portrait mode zoom in quite far will this work?
harvey288 1 year ago
@harvey288 It depends on the model. usually point and shoot cameras have very small sensor, which results in lenses being very short, which makes it difficult to obtain a shallow dept of field. What you could try is putting your camera in A (perture priority) mode, select the lowest F-number available, zoom in as much as possible and try to increase the distance between the subject and background as much as possible. Ideally some distant mountains in the background and the subject on +/-2 meter.
