I have 50mm f1.4 lens so what setting should I prefare for group
photography help plz!
I read Outliers, and just completely disagree on the 10,000 hours. I
believe you are limiting yourself by trying to attain that before you
believe you can be the best. Just believe in yourself, and yes, as Greg
always says, keep shooting… Keep shooting, and keep getting better.. I
have 40 years in photography and may not be as good as “say” Senior
portraits as someone doing those for one year. Don’t complicate this…
Just keep shooting and getting better each day. Never get yourself hung up
on a number… especially 10,000 hours. Should I ask my Dentist, Doctor, or
Lawyer if they’ve practiced 10,000 hours before I fully trust their
services? Outliers was hung up on statistics. In my experience as a
business analyst, I’ve learned that liars can figure and figures can lie.
Just believe in yourself, and keep shooting… And enjoy!
Time for another Creating Photographs video! Little bit of posing little
bit of exposure knowledge

Creating Photographs: Group Photos
Is 35mm a decent focal length for a group photo of about 20 people?
thanks, my on-line photog teacher (“,). more Power!
you said you were switching lenses, which one did you use for the shot
Sometimes, especially if I am using my 70-200.
hi greg, how you get everybody in a group focused sharply w/o blurring
others? if i put my aperture on higher number, am i compromising the skin
tones? thanks
Greg, It would be great to see you document the shooting of a wedding start
to finish sometime. Thanks Bob (Belfast)
Sounds like you need to edit them in photoshop. Key will be getting
consistent photos that ‘look’ like they belong together.
How about a video on image rights? Like copyright on the photographers
pictures and how I can use the pictures of a model (like show in a video,
put on website, sell them etc), if I need their approval, how >they< can use it etc... Might be straight forward but for some it isn't. Just a suggestion.
use a smaller aperture like f 5.6 or 8.
If the action is happening too quickly or manual is not giving you accurate
results you should check your metering mode and then consider aperture
priority. I almost never use shutter priority though…
hey it is really a complete video…thanx a bunch. well i have a question:
I have a 60d and a 50mm f1.4 when I try to get a group shot (having more
than 3 people) focusing on the eyes of the person standing in the middle
and having aperture of f4 and metering mode was evaluative but I still
sometimes get blurry portrait of the persons standing at the corners… can
you tell me how to get all of them in focus and get a nice and sharp group
shot. thank you.
“Waaaa I got a short answer the first time…..waaaa” Howard Stern fan? lol
Great video as always. I’m going to take pictures of my friends wedding at
the park and this video helped out a lot. Keep up the good work.
It wasn’t meant as a “smart ass reply”, rather the real answer I would have
given anyone. Lens choice always comes down to what you want to create or
at least it should.
thanks,lol, it must have not registered. keep up the great work!
You cannot ask for anymore of a straight forward video than that. Thanks
for the video and keep them coming and I will continue to watch and
practicing these techniques…Cheers!
10000 hours @ 40/hours week, full time.
Depends on what I want to create.
Although you just focused on the bride and groom, in most group photos,
should one set the camera to use all the focus points?
Great video Greg, I think you covered some great areas to pay attention to
when shooting this type of image. Much like AlecWub’s comment, I too would
like to see a video concentrating on “image rights”, watermarking your
images and also what sort of path you have to take if you discover your
images are being used without your permission and what related services are
on offer. Keep up the great videos, I find the information very informative
and useful for real world shooting.
Anytime. My goal is to keep it positive and insightful, keeping away the
trolls and haters. Thanks for noticing!
No filters, experience! It was later in the day and I had the sun to my
back which will give you a blue sky.
how did you get the sky and subjects with proper exposure did you use ND
filter?
