I don't understand why your channel is not picking up more traction - just looking at your perfectly executed examples is inspiring.

[@stevenbrookephotography]

Thank you for your note. Hopefully, over time, word will continue to spread.

Years of experience in one video… Thanks for posting this content on RUclips!

[@stevenbrookephotography]

Dan. Yes, this is an effective and simple method for blending two, or even three, images. For more complicated situations, I am going to offer a video on one of the best HDR processors that I have found.

[@dankoons5577]

looks like a superior method over hdr.

[@gerardcot]

Very interesting takes on different situations to do layering exposures. The only thing that I don't think is correct is that, when you talk about using the eraser tool to show the shadows with the correct exposure I think it's better to do that with a layer mask to recover any parts if you make a mistake, if you do it with the eraser tool you can't recover that part.

[@stevenbrookephotography]

Yes, you certainly can do this with a layer mask. But, as long as the two exposure layers remain separate, if you do make a mistake you can always back up so long as you haven't flattened the image.

Lesson taken; cut on coffee = better photography.
Excellent video yet again Steven, keep them coming!

20:00 you said "ground glass"...flash back to your 4x5 days? That made me smile. Every one of your videos contains many revelations. You are good at peeling back the layers of the onion, so to speak, to expose the mysteries. I am surprised you don't have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and millions of views. I guess it is an esoteric topic after all.

[@stevenbrookephotography]

Hoping that word eventually gets spread about the channel.

[@twwtb]

@@stevenbrookephotography It will. In "You Tube years" your channel is pretty young. But any artist or photographer, regardless of their sub-specialty will end up here and will be saying how much they are learning on every video. Your well considered references to the "old masters" along with your extensive real experience, published work, etc. sets you apart from most other photography channels.
