THANKS SO MUCH FOR WATCHING! - Jak na to + styl
Great advice sir. Really worth it.
Great hints David, thanks.
Best photography tutorials on CZcams. Love this guy.
Thanks!
Very nice info David, it's always something new in your videos.
Thanks!
Basically everything he said to stabilize a shot is the same as precision shooting with a firearm. If you shoot firearms, this is a direct carry over.
If you're a photographer that hasn't shot a firearm before, these points also directly carry over that direction as well.
Awesome video David -- like an evening photoclass squeezed into 9 minutes. Re burst mode -- it's the ONLY way to shoot race cars. You have to shoot slower than a 60th to get wheel spin, but still have to have sharp numbers and door seams. You get maybe 1-2 out of a 20 shot burst. As for hand holding, I have learned NEVER to shoot my 5 DSr (50 megapixels) slower than 1/200, when using my 24-105. It's the only way I've found to get consistently sharp shots. Thanks again David.
Great advice.
This was really good!💯
Great tips, David. There is always something new to learn from your videos. Love 💖 from India 🇮🇳
In a slow shutter speed, I stop breathing. If I breathe, I move.
Don’t try that with a 30 second exposure. 🤣
@@DavidBergmanPhoto ha ha. Good one. For a 30-sec exposure, I will definitely use a tripod.
When using longer focals and a monopod keep you hand on top of the lens to pressing, really just resting, it into the monopod for more stability.
Good tip!
Dave is great
Sir very nice and informative video love from india
New to the lets learn how to take photos. Thus is a great video. Awesome info. I do have one question? Do you use that tennis racket that is in the Garage portion of the video or is it a prop? lol Asking for a friend.
Great lesson on how to handle a camera and knowing your camera is the key of taking a great image compare to a so so image. I think of it like shooting a rifle to hit my target the subject matter at hand. That just as important as knowing what camera is capable of doing. Even the camera company covers how shoot with the unit in their manuals but some people do not read that part. This is a good key point that covered David.
Yeah, Bergman forgot to talk about stabilization devices like tripod, monopods which is what you really need for long shutter speeds. However, the advice he gives is sound.
Practice makes perfect. I used to often shoot at 1/8 second handheld using ISO 100 film at weddings back in the film days. That was using a Hasselblad with an 80mm f/2.8 lens with no stabilization. I find heavier cameras are much more easy to get good results with slow exposures than light cameras. Like I said...practice makes perfect. Get out and practice a lot. Pixels are free once you've got the camera and memory card.
Good advice!
1:53 u can still use slow shutter while shooting racing cars
Yes, you are correct especially when you’re doing a panning shot and getting one car in focus and the rest out of focus.
I clicked on the video thinking we are talking about "slow" shutter speeds of 1-2 seconds 😃
You still might be able to get pretty sharp images that slow if you employ all those techniques plus image stabilization. I’d definitely want to lean against a wall and would shoot plenty of frames to hopefully get one or two.
Yup, just like shooting a rifle ..... Great video!
Wow almost million subscribers excellent I always shoot with lcd It’s comfortable for me I see subject better if I’m focus or not I flip lcd up for low shots someone in my way I flip it down raise camera above my head
Also a flash will help freeze the subject at very slow shutter speed.
👍
Which stabilization do you think works best IBIS or lens stabilization? Thanks!
Both are good. But lens stabilization is perfected over the years. The body stabilization of major cameras still needs time
As Rajesh says, both are good. I haven't compared one against the other, but the newest system use both together for even more stabilization!
Generally, long focals, lens stab. Shorter focals, IBIS. That's more to do with physics than technology.
Hi David,,, Its always been said ? to have your shutter speed at the same as your lens or higher,,, My question is,,, If your using a crop censor camera with say a 100m lens,,, would your shutter speed also be 100 or would you increase the same as the crop say by 1.6 making the shutter speed 160. and dose the same definision also apply to micro four thirds cameras as well.
You should multiply by crop factor. Because it's about how much your field of vision changes with motion, not about how long that lens really is physically. So calculate the "35mm film equivalent" of the focal length. Because that rule was invented back in the film days.
But if you have stabilization, you can calculate that in, too. I think he didn't give stabilization the credit it deserves.
Eg if you shoot a 200mm with 3x stabilization on a Canon crop 1.6, that would be like shooting film on a 320mm lens, so the rule of thumb would be faster than about 1/300th. With 3x stabilization you can easily shoot at 1/150th and still have some reserve.
Also, what's the intended use of the pic? Is it going to be printed on a huge roadside ad or a full page magazine spread or is it going to be used only for the web or a tiny printed pic where it's downgraded to 6MP or less anyway?
Don't think too hard of the crop factor the physical lens is still 100mm so 1/100 should be fine
Use the field of view equivalent.
BERGMAN!
I can with a tripod but no little chance hand held.
Personally I use a Tripod ;)
That's the most stable. But obviously not appropriate for all situations. :)
All this tricks i know many years ago.
Nearly half of the CZcams photogr....pardon, influencers 😀hold the lens from above, instead of underneath as you correctly explained; and when you ask them "man, why tf you're handling the camera/lens that way, that's not how you do it", they'll dismiss you like "ehy that works for me, what tf you want, I'm queen/king of YT and you're no one, don't pi*s me off with that".
Usually my "BS influencer detector" on YT video is just how someone holds the camera; if i discover a new guy/girl, and see that he/she holds the camera in the wrong why, i just thumb down the video, close it and would ignore the channel for the future, because I'm looking at just ads (explicit or not) and a bunch of cr*p info, instead of content done from a serious source/photographer, which he/she may also do ads, but there's value added in their content.
Close …use flash!?
I am doing a photoshoot in a few days with a model who is modeling a t-shirt. I have the Nikon d5600. What would be a good aperture to do photos ( from the waist up to her head) where Everything (the shirt and her eyes) would be sharp and clear? I'll probably shoot with the kit lens and the 35 mm lens.
At 35mm, 5.6 should give you plenty of depth to get her in focus. Check the DOF simulator to be sure: dofsimulator.net/
@@DavidBergmanPhoto thanks. I'll try that.
@@MrXelsior how did your shoot go?
I use a tripod
1/30th is slow, esp when shooting on longer focal length.
Yup. But sometimes it has to be done.
Buy Lumix,, tripod not needed !
