The BEST Focusing Technique (FOR SERIOUS SHARPNESS!!)

@henryturner Goodness me I'm learning loads! Can't believe how easy it is to get that sharp focus every time.

Man's Videos are underrated
👍🏻

Thank you!

Thanks!

are you using single point focus point and AF-S?

Hi Henry, can you tell me what 90 degree bracket you use for upright shoots. Regards Leon

Another great video. You're inspiring me to "just go shoot". Sometimes, we overthink things!

👌👌👌👍👍👍😁

Do you use the same focus technique with wildlife?

Thank you for clearly showing! Subscribed .

Is that a D810?

Good tip….what I do is …use the auto focus and still check if the focus is perfect before I click. This technique may be a sure way…let me see… followed your instructions… with f/11 and iso 400… the tree is clear with a clear depth of field.. using a 50 mm lens on Nikon D850

Finally, a clear explanation, and a demonstration on a camera that looks like mine. Thank you!

You legit just gave us a tutorial on how to use auto focus 😂 waste of time

I have the d7200 great camera I’ve been watching your videos and getting lots of great tips so many thanks 🙏

I usually do similar but I often do 3 focus stacked images also, some work out some don’t but it’s all about getting out and making nice pictures 👍

I used to hyperfocal focus my old prime lenses on my EOS 3 back in my slide film days and set the aperture to f11. Everything in the frame was spot on. Most of my landscapes were taken on a 35mm f2 USM. I also used a 50 f1.4 and a 20-35 f3.5-5.6.

Really like how the lighting and subject of the two photos are so different, even though the setups are virtually identical. Really nice work, but I’m still an agnostic when it comes to BBF.

Hi Henry, im new to photography and your videos really help me. this technique i have started to use and its fantastic for me. Thanks and keep up the great videos.

Man and machine are magnified ^____^

Incredible timing. I just had my autofocus screw me out of a few good shots of some shorebirds a few days ago (still got some good ones). This technique should be really helpful for double checking.

Cheers! And thank you....

why not employ focus stacking with this?

So are you primarily manually focusing your camera when your magnifying and using the back button focus,? Or are you shooting in aperture mode, shutter priority? Manual?

Been a BBF convert for a number of years (and could never go back!) and I use a similar technique to yours for landscapes. For extra extra sharpness, I also use a shutter release delay and turn off any lens stabilization so there is no chance of the camera wobbling when I finally hit the shutter release. Great videos - keep taking great shots !

Is that the D7200 your using?

Don't you use hyperfocal distance ?

Wouldn't you be using a big f-number anyway? But I geddit.

I like that hat. It looks like a more “weather resistant” material, as opposed to the typical cloth ball cap.

First, thanks for the great video! I've been trying to use that technique lately, with some success. Thanks for the process model!

OH nice, it's the same thing i do when i shoot products or real estate. It's a MUST DO! i started doing this when my autofocusing sistem started to break. when you zoom in in live view, you actually zoom into the senzor, so the clarity and quality of what you'll see will be spectacular, you really have to try it.

Just curious, what would happen if the shutter was engaged while the composition was still zoomed in for focusing? My thought is that once you have pinpoint focus, snap the shutter. This would eliminate the zooming out process. Just a thought?

I've just discovered your channel, and I like your style. I'll be looking for more of your videos!

Recently took up Photography, Find your videos the most helpful :)

Are you using live view?

Can you tell me what tripod and ball head you use?

Morning Henry; BBF I’ve used now for a couple of years and wouldn’t go back. Also I sometimes manually tweak the focus ring on lens when I am 100% focused in (as you say, occasionally the mechanical bit doesn’t quite get it). Hyperfocal distance also generally works for me as well. Keep up your enthusiasm which is still very catching 📷

Henry. New subscriber here, all the way from southern California. I really enjoy your videos. Watching you traipsing around Tyne and Wear makes me miss the UK. What a beautiful and romantic part of the world you live in.

But my camera doesn’t have CDAF. I guess I’ll have to stick with MF outside of the centre AF area.

I Love Rainy Falls ! But they’re a Bit melancholy ! I find Peak Fall the best with Morning SunI have some Great Landscapes , Wild Fall Flowers , Colorful Leaves and Wild Life Birds , mammals , reptiles , Insects Etc.! Guess You can’t pick the Weather ! But I would hate a lot of rain all the time !

The beauty of the bright sunlight is all the color that jumps into the lens from the wooded area.

Showed up in my suggested. Very well put together presentation. Got a sub from me.

The american in me GENUINELY feared for your safety when i witnessed you driving on the left side of the road. I feel ridiculous after realizing youre not here 😂

I don’t always use my tripod all the time so for me hand held is hard for me to use live view,is it just me?

Camera and lens used please? Ex Leeds Pom living down under in Tasmania-very different scenery and virus free, pleased to say, hope things get better up your way very soon. Thank you for sharing your presentations. 👍😁📷🇬🇧🇦🇺🦘

refocus those points
