  • One of the fundamentals that just doesn't get talked about as much as it should is how to expose a scene. Part of the reason for that is that everyone does it different based on their comfort level with post processing. In this video i am going to talk about when and when not to bracket, how to expose to the right, and how to blend images.

      @@likiroki After hearing about ETTR twenty times I still wasn't sure what it meant(not my fault, it was poor explanation). Pretty simple.

    This is the best explanation of exposing to the right. An added way I could describe it is that white is every color added together and black is none. So more color information is in the right

    Excellent video Nick! First time I've heard about dual-processing an image, but that makes so much sense. I've just arrived here from F4 Road Trip, and this is the first time in ages that I've binged a RUclips channel. Your images are sickeningly good 🙂 Just beautiful. It also means a lot that you like everyone's comments. I'm sure other RUclipsrs read (at least some of) our comments, but it's really good to see it explicitly.

    Dude can I just say that this video was the most helpful advice I have ever received for photography in a very long time. I went out to do seascape shooting recently and instead of exposing -1 EV like I normally do, I used ETTR and just took a separate shot for the highlights in the sky. The RAWs came out so much better. Thank you for putting together this video.

    This was a brilliant video done in such a subtle way. I learned more than I want to admit too. For almost a year I bracketed all the time. Lately I have stopped bracketing for everything but the situations you pointed out. However when I didn't bracket I did not ETTR because I did not understand it in the way you just taught it. This brought together a lot of things I have learned in a succinct way. Using luminosity masks as a selection to paint in the detail from another image really helped me understand how the two concepts differentiate. I think this video is going to help a lot of people become better photographers. Thank you Nick.

  • @michaeltitus7821
    @michaeltitus7821 Год назад

    Best exposure tip I have ever heard about putting the bulk your histogram in the highlight segment. I have been doing this for yours without articulating it the way you did here. Watching the histogram spread out when you adjust your highlights and shadows made the lights come on as to why I do what I do from years of trial and error.

  • @MarcGironPhotography
    @MarcGironPhotography 3 года назад +1

    This is, for sure, one of your best free instructional videos to date. Almost touching the premium level I would say. Even if one could figure out a lot of this by sheer trial and error, it is far better to have this information in the back of your head once you are out in the field, than finding out afterwards during post, with lower quality material to work with. Possibly spoiling an image that could be potentially awesome.
    Thanks a lot Nick! The content and your personality keeps your channel on a solid first place.

  • @joezuu
    @joezuu 3 года назад +1

    Such a great video Nick!! It's taken me years to learn this stuff. One thing for people to keep in mind is that the histograms and highlight warnings in camera are generated from the jpeg previews and not the raw sensor information so you can likely get away with pushing it a bit more than you might think. On my sony a7r iv, I set the highlight clipping to 106 and that has worked really well for me. YMMV though and you will want to test it to see where you actually start clipping your highlights.

    6 or 5.5years ago, I watched one of your vids for the first time, and you showed me the wonderful world of astrophotography. (6 months after i bought my SL1) along with Rokinon lenses.
    I am just now at this level to where i need and must learn this, and your explination are always understandable, clean, and precise. I have pugilistica dementia. Obtaining new info is difficult a lot of times, BUT all your teachings have begun to enter my long term memory, and my photography has skyrocket overnight.
    Many people ask me what camera did i upgrade to, and i love telling them that its my SL1. I always boast your channel. Thank you so very much for sharing your knowledge with the world sir! 😊
