    do you use a dynamic group focus mode? Which focus mode do you use for family dhot?

  2. @bnoyumori739 on October 29, 2024 at 9:04 pm

    my greatest challenge actually is how to manage group of people inside a hall. i have a 30mm, f4.5 and iso at 1600. ambient light is pretty descent but whenever i transferred them to light room, it will always look dark and end up not able to fix skin tone even if you bumped up the exposure etc.

  3. @1mkrlife on October 29, 2024 at 9:06 pm

    Team photos! Large group!

  4. @photomom1213 on October 29, 2024 at 9:08 pm

    What is your shutter speed at?

  5. @jenniferculipher4058 on October 29, 2024 at 9:08 pm

    My biggest issue with groups is how to place them and not make them look awkward

  6. @hurleygreen927 on October 29, 2024 at 9:10 pm

    Thanks for sharing this video on SHARPNESS! It is much appreciated…l

  7. @Merdian1988 on October 29, 2024 at 9:11 pm

    Love it❤

  8. @gorillaSportsShow on October 29, 2024 at 9:17 pm

    Thanks for sharing your tips. What lens would you recommend for crop sensor camera for indoor group photography?

  9. @dougjohnson5021 on October 29, 2024 at 9:17 pm

    As a beginner working in Manual mode for group shots, my biggest challenge is use of softbox lights. Where to place them, what level to set the lights etc. Lighting is like this magical thing that people creating the videos on the Internet make look so easy, but in actual use doesn’t go so well for me.

  10. @christophermatthews9246 on October 29, 2024 at 9:17 pm

    great vid, but i have question…..in group photos should i use autofocus or manual? what is like the general rule.

  11. @bangforyourbuck101 on October 29, 2024 at 9:17 pm

    Thank you for the advice

  12. @vinny46jones on October 29, 2024 at 9:17 pm

    Can I ask how many focus points do you use for a group photo 📸

  13. @Sugarbeet724 on October 29, 2024 at 9:18 pm

    What LENS are you using for the large group shots?

  14. @CDeeez94 on October 29, 2024 at 9:19 pm

    This was very helpful. Thank you very much!

  15. @kevingriffin5774 on October 29, 2024 at 9:21 pm

    What focus point to use?

  16. @guilladogui8259 on October 29, 2024 at 9:22 pm

    the challenge start when trying to do that high aperture on low light :/ i didnt want to raise the iso too much

  17. @worldcupjunkie2659 on October 29, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    2.8 for a group?

  18. @TheJadedFilmMaker on October 29, 2024 at 9:25 pm

    try looking at the lens not the screen. to help connect with your audience

  19. @brandonwood7032 on October 29, 2024 at 9:26 pm

    Great video! What autofocus setting do you use? Spot focus, eye track etc

  20. @TheChronozShow on October 29, 2024 at 9:29 pm

    Family of 3 to 5 what is the best aperture?

  21. @LynnsieKate on October 29, 2024 at 9:30 pm

    I take club photos and I use too small of an f stop so sometimes people are blurry. It kind of adds to the club energy look but I’m definitely gonna get a different lens.

  22. @denisebenz2621 on October 29, 2024 at 9:32 pm

    what focus metering do you use? I have a Nikon Z7 ii

  23. @TheStarseedShaman on October 29, 2024 at 9:35 pm

    My first photo shoot of a Baby Shower today thanks for the awesome tips!!!❤

  24. @brittanybeaver6145 on October 29, 2024 at 9:36 pm

    Not knowing what aperture to set my camera on!

  25. @Ozhtube on October 29, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    What focus would you use for 40 people standing on stairs in five rows? Need all faces to be sharp. I’ll be using Sony 35 mm GM.

    Thank you !!!!!

  28. @truthsampson8404 on October 29, 2024 at 9:37 pm

    How about if it was more than two rows.say 6 rows🥺who do I focus on.and will it affect the f stop rule?

  29. @verenicenavarro on October 29, 2024 at 9:39 pm

    How to get great family portraits with my 50mm 1.4 lens and Canon Rebel t5i. It is an older camera and unfortunately this camera can’t be calibrated so not sure why taking blurry photos now 🙁

  30. @erusyado on October 29, 2024 at 9:43 pm

    How about the setting of ISO and shutter speed?
    only the F only?

  31. @kirstensullivan7598 on October 29, 2024 at 9:43 pm

    Does auto focus not work as well as manuel focus?

  32. @aizamhamzah708 on October 29, 2024 at 9:44 pm

    nice

  33. @marmarsonnen7100 on October 29, 2024 at 9:46 pm

    I think my biggest struggle in large group photos is when I’m being rushed. It’s difficult already because it adds stress, but I’m just learning photography so having the pressure of people rushing me is just awful.

  34. @lionroots11 on October 29, 2024 at 9:47 pm

    Do you guys have a white balance video ? What white balance did you use for the weddings?

  35. @piratemicku on October 29, 2024 at 9:48 pm

    Helps a lot

  36. @yonishperling1531 on October 29, 2024 at 9:49 pm

    Great tips! thanks for sharing make it much more clear!
    Question; if there are two lines as we see at 7:39 kids running and the next one (7:42), should I prefer to focus on the object closest to the second line?

  37. @silkefischer5778 on October 29, 2024 at 9:50 pm

    With everything you have taught us here, I have one question: does it matter how far away you stand from your subject when applying these rules?

  38. @holx2895 on October 29, 2024 at 9:50 pm

    Are you using manual focus or auto focus? Please may you reply if possible. Thank you x

  39. @bhalchandrakapatkar1710 on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    🙏👍👍

  40. @ghostofneworleans4511 on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    Got my first photo shoot of a sweet 16. Super nervous. Should I stay in aperture or shutter priority .. or manual ?

  41. @JessicaBoutilier on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    This has been incredibly helpful! Thank you!

  42. @laynetravis on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    Very good video,my last photoshoot was a group of 3-4 people..i did it with f2.8 and i surprised 😂 from the results…i was long time not making any photos for my defense…nuce tips

  43. @treguard1982 on October 29, 2024 at 9:52 pm

    Are you using Matrix metering mostly for these?

  44. @Thajoshiboy on October 29, 2024 at 9:53 pm

    Thank you very much!!!!

  45. @trpphotovideo on October 29, 2024 at 9:55 pm

    Great tips guys! Thank you 🙏🏽

  46. @yigavicent9179 on October 29, 2024 at 9:56 pm

    cool

  47. @MaggieMcKenney-le9cd on October 29, 2024 at 9:56 pm

    biggest issue for me is the focal clusters on my canon Mark 1V!!!

  48. @whiterock1865 on October 29, 2024 at 9:56 pm

    Nice video E’s, I would just make one ask…if you could include the aperture, shutter speed and ISO in the images. Its one thing to hear you say where to focus but its good to see the actual effect of the aperture used in each photo. Thank you!

  49. @daniphantomconcept on October 29, 2024 at 9:57 pm

    Thanks❤

  50. @austindillon8134 on October 29, 2024 at 9:57 pm

    Bad attitudes is the biggest pet peeve of mine!
