- Focal length is a very important concept in Photography and Videography. Focal length affects the distortion, perspective, compression and depth of field. In this 'Focal Length Explained! Why does it MATTER?' video, I cover all the basic things you need know about focal length.

I don't even have a camera. But I watch this channel regularly. Quality content.
Same here man
Broke people😂
Haha start with the Fujifilm if you're looking for your first camera.
@@Jakiyyyyy bruh fuji sucks tbh...canon beginner cams are the best to start off with...atleast thats what i know
@@ISRAADVISUALS Why? Have you ever tried them?
@@Jakiyyyyy i did
Fuji is really good with thier high end cameras which are expensive..but they suck at beginner level..
My first video of 2020 uploaded in my new year resolution (4k)
Edit1: I've said you get 'More' depth of field when you zoom in but I actually meant 'more blur' which is technically 'less' depth of field.
good one lol
Hey saurav i have to buy a camera under 40k.... Which one should I choose
Its resolution right!
But i don't have a 4k display!! Lol
Bro, where did u learn the basics of Photography in your initial days ???
When u say increase of focal length decreases the Depth of Field, is it actually focal length or EFL
No one told me that Nikon has 1.5 crop factor and Cannon has 1.6 . Thank you for sharing.
What about Fujifilm?
@@Ishijah1 1.5
1.6 crop factor does it means the sensor size on Canon is smaller than Nikon?
Their Crop body camera has this crop factor. full frame body doesn’t have this kind of impact.
@@Jakiyyyyy yes
I'm trying to understand the results of pushing vanishing points to different extremes in drawing and I found this somewhat helpful. Understanding compression as a result of how close vanishing points are to one another will help me when setting up vanishing points to start and plan a piece.
Wow, this man should be a professor in some college or university.
No man he is not
He makes more money doing youtube and gets to avoid faculty politics
He is nice at explaining but made some mistakes in explaining depth of field. As a professor you can not afford that.
Thats true😁
@@palashgaur1650 lol you act like profs do not make mistakes. they do, (ik because I am a uni student and profs I have had have made mistakes), but if they do they correct them and he did. we are are prone to human error, even profs.
This video helped me in my physics
😂
I didnt know what is focal length in physics
I actually came here searching' what is focal length' 😂
same bro
Your videos have literally taught me everything I know about photography, and I have improved so much since I found your channel.
Is there any way you could make a video on shooting dark subjects in dark locations? I have a black Labrador and I want photos in the forest and I cannot afford other light sources but ISO and the sun itself
He already has a video on it
@@vsboardza yes, but it's based on still objects and I need a fast shutter speed because I'm shooting an animal
Marie Klüver-Kristensen Just use higher ISO in night for now or external flash.
@@HarshvardhanSaboo higher ISO makes the photo grainy to a point where it cannot be saved
@ You r absolutely right that's why I suggested alternate source of light.
Ideally no matter what you do photography needs lighting.. I'm a professional photographer.
If lighting isn't there camera will require higher ISO, I'm afraid no other option is there.
Or you speedlight with your camera, the response I have seen is amazing if you know how to go bounce flashlight the output will be like you have not used Flashlight at all.
This video is entirely excellent. Everything from the pacing of your speech, to the amount of examples you use, are perfect. Keep up the incredible work & I’ll definitely be coming back to this channel if I have any Photography questions.
1:15 sensor with or without crop 1:50 small number of focal length = wider perspective ... 15mm = wider perspective than 200 mm... 2:30 compression ... 3:30 depth of field 4:15 zooming in vs moving closer physically to the subject ... 5:20 portrait ...
I can listen to this guy accent all day long😍😍
😀😀😀😀😂😂😀 Super😀😀😀😀🙏🙏
Simppp
@@elegancei5538 bruh
It’s trash
Se all know Indian accents are trash
One word: OUTSTANDING
Hi Saurav, that was the best explanation i have seen in a very long time! You have a very good way about you which is excellent. Keep up the great videos and as it's November 15th 2020 today you're probably in the middle of Dihwalli, enjoy!
Thanks this really helps a lot. I am trying to get into microstock and learning this really helps, as well as the math at the beginning. It made me happy to hear that you are a landscape photographer and that you use a higher focal length because I currently only have one lens (prime, 35mm, but my camera is 2x crop factor, so 70mm). Thanks again.
I've been down a CZcams hole researching cameras/lenses. This was the most helpful I've found in 2 hours- thank you so much!!!!
I use 50mm on APSC and it has a 75mm equivalent and I use it literally for almost shots, portrait, street, and I love it!
i used a6000 sony, i cant use crop when it comes to Raw files. im a right?
Me too. I use a 56mm 1.4f and I love the images it produces
Bro which camera is best for photography Nikon d5600 or Canon 800d ??? Plz tell me
the nifty fifty.
Wide lens set in 24mm and other side telephoto lens set in 24mm the output is same ?
Extremely informative and concise! Thanks a ton man!
Great job explaining! You've done a much better job than so many others. Subscribed and keep up the learning material. Thanks
The quality in this video is really amazing
A minecrafter.... Noice
Thank you for explaining these concepts in clear, easy to understand language geared towards beginners.
Thanks for the video. You might want to mention, as well, what compression can do to human facial features; so the need for checking on that re distance from your subject when using various focal length lenses for portraits so you don't distort people's faces (however subtle, or not, that distortion can be).
Amazing video.., I just started exploring more and more about photography and videography...... This video of yours was really nice and useful
You should be getting paid to teach! Even with your accent (I’m in the US) you made this as clear and simplified as you possibly could in 6 minutes! Great work!
I m unable to use on camera flash on canon 800d with display mode. How can I use flash without using viewfinder or by focusing by display screen
Please reply
Thank you Saurav for your valuable lessons/tips.
Omg! Thank you so much for this video! Focal length makes so much more sense now💗
*Can u suggest me better Lens around 10-20 mm for Nikon APS-c i have D5600.. I'm confused between Tikona,Sigma and Nikkor nikkor is cheaper but looks bit avg... and where to buy second lens if possible 😢*
As a landscape photographer, how do you cut the 'haze' that you typically see in the Indian context? e.g. We went to Mahabaleshwar, and in bright afternoon, all my landscape shots were rendered useless due to the haze throughout the area.
Bro will we get 35mm in14 to 46mm?
So de we want other 35mm lense?
Pls reply......
Well! thanks again buddy. Really informative and useful. Keep it up!
dude! you're a gem! so glad i found this channel! love your delivery and knowledge of the subject!
This was extremely helpful. I was looking for something just like this.
This brief yet extremely informative and digestible video just earned You a subscriber. Awesome job!
Your videos are always so good. Even if I know the topic already, the revision is great. Thanks. I subscribed.
which lens you used in this video in the begining to get total blur effect please tell?
????
You have some great videos with lots of basic information. I'd like to see you to a on the scene photo shoot and walk through some of your shots. As a fellow photographer when I do a walk through it makes it easy to understand the process to achieve the finished images. Happy new years and happy shooting !!!
@00:22 bro how do u editor guys make that part, editor app and technique name plzzz... It's for my class room videos. Can u plz help?
Thank you! One of the best videos on the subject I’ve seen. Can’t wait to watch more!
I’ll definitely have to watch this vid a few times throughout my learning but this vid was super helpful.
Hi! Dear nice video. Just want to modify one thing that when we use 200 mm we won’t get more depth of field but that is called shallow depth of field.yeah thats true that we’ll get more blurr but that is called shallow depth of field.More or Deep depth of field is when we use a wider lens or increase the f-Stop.
Awesome video, I learnt so much and really appreciate the detail you went to!
This video had so many succinct examples. I'm appreciative for having found it. Thank you!
I think I have found the best CZcamsr on photography now😍you do such a great job explaining every little detail about all things photography for people that have zero experience in this field. This is a great channel👌I love it
Now this is what we call a perfect explanation. I've always struggled with focal length and learned about it but this made it perfectly clear.
This is SO helpful. Thank you!
I have a couple of questions:
I want to film in a smaller room and want to get that blur effect. We have a 50mm prime lense but I have to set the camera super far away for it to focus on me. It says it is infinite but it doesn't seem to be the way. What am I doing wrong? Would I need a higher mm or lower mm? I have seen other streamers use a 35mm with a similar size room as me. Would this be better or worse? Would I not have to put the camera further away?
Which lens ur using
Hello bro kindly me can I use canon prime 50mm with my ulanzi Dof plz reply I’m waiting for your reply ( if is not possible kindly make video for iPhone 11 Pro Max + ulanzi dof + wich Lens ? For music video shooting
Thanks man you give always simple and great info
Hey hi Saurav can u tell me how are skyvik lens quality n I’m have iPhone 7plus so is good to use skyvik lens
which camera lense you used to make this video
Great video very concise. Thank you for sharing. I wish more channels were succinct like this instead of wasting my time with 90 second long intros
I m using Sony a 6400 and 18-135 lens but I m unable to take close up pics of flowers, insects and plants we hat I should do, as biology professor I m working for the said topics
Hey Saurav, great man.. I'm really impressed the way you are explaining. Take up more complex things.. You have that charm. Now i'm clear about focul length.
Wow! I'm not even a photographer but I watched the whole video. This was great! Well done.
Great video mate, thanks so much
This was so helpful! Thank you!
Which lens will do the more background blur
sony 50mm f1.8
Sony 210mm f6.5
What program did you use to draw on the screen in the video? I thought it was pretty good and would like to use this technique.
Thanks for helping me understand this topic!!! Very well explained :)
Best explanation I’ve heard yet. Thank you
Beautifully explained!! Your videos are full on knowledge and easily understood!! They are technical too
I loved how this guy explains things! I love it!
This explaination was all I needed. Good work man!!
please tell that which caller mic you have used bcz your video is outdoor shooted but there is no noise and i m a short film maker... so please 🙏
Very well done video. You explain things clearly with no useless stuff. Keep making videos this way. I don't like the ones with long introductions and full of foolish jargon. Thank you for the information. I knew what focal length was but you gave me a new perspective. I usually think of depth if field as a function of aperture only.
Such a good video, thank you!
Thank you so much! It is a very clear explanation.
This video was so insightful, thank you!
One of the most practical videos I’ve seen👍🏼 all that in under 7 minutes... wow
I loved your clean and sharp explanation. Thanks
Thank you for making this video! As a beginner it was really helpful.
wow I can't believe I finally understand this! thank you so much you are sooo good explaining the complex
Thank you so much for this, it was so clear and easier to follow and understand👍
Thanks man. Finally, I got my answer on choosing a lens for portrait.
Bro, yes. This was very helpful. I feel like we're friends, and you're just giving me tips on how to use my camera. Great content, man!
this was short and extremely helpful thank you
excellent explanation. so complex yet simple. thanks!!!
What focal length did you shoot this video in? That’s the angle I’m trying to capture for my videos and can’t seem to figure it out. Thanks!
Super clear & helpful - thank you!
Appreciate your video and efforts! 100% marks on it.
But one correction, when you increase the focal length/zoom in , the distance between 2 subjects increases as you are getting into the finer details and your scope narrows.
This was very comprehensive, thank you.
Thank you so much!!! This was an AMAZING video!!! It explained the topic VERY WELL!!! :)
Which Camera and lens did you used to make this video ? please share.Thank you
Was expecting another of those videos that tries to tell me short focal lenses would distort faces and using tele lenses would result in flat portraits. But I was pleasantly surprised! Even mentioned that zooming and moving are not the same. Too many people don’t get that.
I am learning photography now and your channel is a plus, thanks for sharing this content.
Saurev, this is a great video! Thank you!
What lens/settings are you using to shoot this video?
Which camera you use to record this video
Very clarifying! thanks
I get the best vibes from this guy. He seems like he's a good one to hang around.
Truly amazing content & video quality!
