    I have been taking photos for a long time and I always like learning a new technique. The fact of how easy this was to understand and not overwhelming is a serious talent. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with thw world!
  • @K7RRW
    Your conceptualization of photography is refreshing and concise Pat. The clarity of your presentation fits with your lifestyle and daily goals. I admire you for that!
  • You're an amazing teacher.  I have been in photography for a couple decades....(with a hiatus somewhere in there). I too, was over-cautious with ISO settings fearing noise. No longer! You're absolutely right....sharpness over noise is best. It's a GAME CHANGER with moving targets (macros). I have MORE keepers now. THANK YOU!
  • @lettuce1552
    I've always been too careful about maintaining the right ISO because I thought the presence of noise would make or break my photos, so I ended up sacrificing a good shutter speed/ aperture for that, and thus ended up wondering why my photos came out blurry or not correctly exposed. thank you so much for this super helpful video!
  • @John_Lilley
    Thanks Pat! Please keep making these vids, I keep learning with every one!
  • @danv1061
    Thank you. Many years ago I shot everything manually and was totally familiar with my camera. Many years later I got a new camera and got lazy, using auto for everything. You helped me get back on track.
  • @beech9473
    THANK YOU for this! by far the best description I’ve come across since getting my first DSLR this year. Subscribed and cannot wait to watch more of your content.
  • @jamesb.2719
    This is exactly what I needed. Very well thought out yet still authentic. Will be subscribing 🙏
  • @Vinn113
    The clearest understanding of the photographic process I have ever gotten from a tutorial video. Very, very helpful. Thank you.
  • @ronakpatel6210
    Easily the best video i have watched on getting sharp images! Nice work Pat!
  • This really helped me,as I’ve just started photography in the last few months.Thankyou and have a great day 👍
  • @Ms122405
    Thank you so much!!!🙏🏽 you have been more informative than any professors I have ever had. I appreciate how you take your time to break it down detail but detail. Thank you!🙏🏽
  • @butchgo8930
    In the film days we focus manually using hyperfocal focus/distance and depth of field for tack sharp imagery. I am doing the same technique doing focus compensation taking advantage of limitless digital shots.
  • Your explanation is SO GOOD!! Really easy to follow! I will be using it for my food photography! Thank you!! I appreciate this!!
  • @scriptsandtags
    You explained everything in a very descriptive manner and I understand it ever than before and added the little nugget of sometimes sacrificing ISO
  • @jerryeisner1
    Pat this was such an amazingly well done tutorial on understanding the basics of Sharpness or achieving sharpness in ALL cameras. Your explanations were spot on and I can't wait to follow you as you produce more videos for the Youtube community!!!!
  • @jrod291
    great video and thank you for not over explaining or complicating things - very well done!
  • Hi Pat, I'm a great fan of your videos - so thank you & I'm grateful for what I learn from you. Just wondered about the auto focussing with these settings. Some of photos on these photos were slightly out of focus for landscape photography. Should I resort to manual focus on infinity for landscape shoots. Thank you & keep up the great work 😊
  • Wow, what a brilliant tutorial, I wish I had come across you sooner. Clearly spoken and totally understood your teaching and where you are coming from. I think I have found my full time teacher.
  • @Khyzoobleeee
    Thank you for all of the help man! Explained everything super well :)
