F Stops

[ATTACKaMAC]

for those of you who still don't get it - maybe this will help -

the shutter speed doesn't actually allow twice as much light to hit the sensor / film (since the AMOUNT is control by the aperature) it just allows the light to hit the sensor / film for twice as LONG (from one shutter full fStop setting to the next)

Ummm...it's really not that hard. Assuming you're of reasonable intelligence, just don't make such a big deal out of it. Just work at it! MrJeff is right that you'd only use the "f" when talking about the lens aperture--but otherwise, watch this video until it sinks in. It's not that tough!

i want a video that shows the differences in a picture with various f-stops

[jamesthegreat16]

[clipside2]

i find this so hard to grasp ...every time.... i've tried LOADS. what is wrong with me?!!

[ccayco]

@clipside2 Nothing. Photo is retarded.

[onoloz]

Sounds like math.. I don't get it at all, even thought my friend tried to explain but I didn't get it lol

[mYOzZyKaT]

Listen up gang...

the f-stop number are calculated the following way:

One over the square root of two to the power of n, where n= 1, 2, 3....

@Unexampled1 lol nice one

[rah23dragon]

there was too much jargon but kinda got it! jus break it down in lame mans terms! or k.i.s.s format!

[zzzilxlizzz]

@rah23dragon Seriously, This video is no better than reading about it elsewhere. The ones who usually need help don't know any of the technical shit discussed here..

[rah23dragon]

@zzzilxlizzz skeen! but good video! and thanks again!

[jgda9rs]

that made more sense than it did in school.

[MrJeff]

i still dont get it :P xD

[IRISistibleMakeup]

@MrJeff yeah me neither damn

[mYOzZyKaT]

@MrJeff Its easy... the f-stop number are derived the following way:

One over the square root of two to the power of n, where n=1, 2, 3...

[digitalwolves]

@MrJeff ..U are not alone.

[burtonbro417]

@MrJeff i dont either i just clicked it cuz i was listenin to jack johnson

[ktwoman]

[quack18]

I just watched several of your videos, and I think they are all fabulous. You are an excellent teacher. I'm still tinkering with my 35mm film camera, but I'll be ordering a dvd tonight. Great job. Thanks.
