    Learn how to master your wide angle lens in just 10 minutes! I will teach you how to use this powerful and unique lens to take creative and memorable photos for landscapes, portraits and street shots. I will show you examples of great photos and not so great photos to illustrate how to use distortion in your favour.
    My camera is a Nikon D7500 and lens is a Sigma 10-20mm.

    You are an excellent teacher/explainer - well done! Best parts of your video: (1) You got right to the point - no time wasted on driving to a location, walking through the woods, etc ; (2) Nice and appropriate balance of you talking and showing examples in your photographs; (3) Clearly explaining not only the "what" but the WHY - which is even more important.

    Great advice...especially for the landscape.
    I love the “find your forground first and make sure it has a great back ground”....
    I never thought of the forground aspect.
    So thank you

    I'm beginning at photography and got an UWA with the DSLR I bought second hand. I was looking for some ideas to take the best of it, or sell it if I didn't find inspiration, but you so much ABSOLUTELY NAILED this video that it really gave me the will to explore this lens as much as I can. Fantastic video, hats off to you !

    @CamperIV Před 3 lety +1

    Wow, okay. I learned more from a 9 minute video than from the entire two books I just read about "landscape photography" and "portrait photography". I know it's an older video and you don't realy upload as much but still, thank you!

  • @TheEli008
    @TheEli008 Před 6 lety +2

    I liked this video a lot. A little bit of critique: The distortion that you're getting from your wide angle shots due to being closer to the subject, not because the shot was on a wide angle lens. This is called perspective distortion and is not to be confused with optical distortion. The closer you physically get to any object with any lens, the larger it becomes relative to the background. Therefore, there is no difference between cropping a shot from a wide lens and a shot from a mid-range or telephoto lens (assuming there is no optical distortion). The distortions at the edges of your frame, on the other hand, ARE optical distortions and should not be confused with the distortion that you see when you get physically close to your subjects.
    Here's a good read all about the subject: photographylife.com/does-focal-length-distort-subjects

  • @etiennetjonsjoesjoe7822
    @etiennetjonsjoesjoe7822 Před 6 lety +1

    A very useful explanation. I've noticed that shallow DOF is not important in these kind of photos so you don't really need a very expensive 1.4 lens for wide angle shots. Too bad I saw your video too late and already bought the canon 24mm 1.4. Thanks a lot and as was mentioned by others, you're a great teacher.

    Wide angles can be used brilliantly for shooting portraits in relation to the environment. All you have to do is back up (because what you're seeing is actually perspective distortion, not lens distortion) and then shoot the person from a low angle against an interesting background

    Thank you for the video and the information. I did find the music distracting too as others pointed out and struggled to follow what you were saying. Also I'd recommend finding a room without an echo or invest in some sound proofing blankets that can be removed after you finish shooting. The echo made things worse. I hope you find this feedback somehow useful.

    A wide angle lens only distorts if you get up close. Move back and take a photo of a person with a wide angle lens, then crop the photo. You will see no distortion.

    • @RedTVProductions

  • @richardpcrowe
    @richardpcrowe Před 4 lety

    Totally agree with needing a strong foreground in w/a photography... I do like a very distinctive F/G subject. I don't like using a w/a lens just because I want to include more side to side imagery. My solution to only having a w/a lens on my camera is to carry a pair of cameras with different focal length lenses...

    @enduraman1 Před 4 lety

    Portraits the closer you are to the subject the more distortion. You were inches away we need took pictures of your son. The further back the subject is from the camera the less face distortion. Two creative ways to use wide angle for portraits. First, I like over the shoulder where there’s a second person in the frame but you only see the back or side of their head. Second, is to position the lens vertically and center the subject this will make their legs appear longer.
