Hi Simon, my name is Artur, 16 years old, and I am also a fellow Canadian photographer. I found your channel a little over a month ago and I haven’t watched photography videos with such great advice and quality. I have been photographing for 4 years now and your channel has helped my photography tremendously. After watching your videos I feel more confident that I am able to do the things that have seemed like a stumbling block in the past, such as composition and post processing. You’re the first RUclipsr I am actually going to subscribe to. Thanks for the great content and keep it up
Same I'm from Canada's west coast and this video brought me back to a photo I took a month ago with this exact problem down a tunnel. Your video on the milky way got me hooked on nightscape photography and I'm learning all the time. Thanks for the videos!
Hi Simon, my name is Dan, I have 12 years old and I’m living and Uruguay. I wanted to say that I very like your channel and I’m subscribed. I’m using and the canon 90d and with the canon 300mm f4. Maybe you can give me some tips to photograph wildlife?
Get a bad camera and make the most of it before upgrading. Have days where you practice only using black and white. That will force you to work purely on your skills andyou will get further much sooner tjan you otherwise would. Have a good journey! ❤ @@Danalmog-dq8sy
What I like about his videos, is that unlike other channels, he's not starting with the idea that you should first buy more stuff to get better results. He's working within the confines of the equipment and making the best of those available features. Many other channels fall into the GAS category; Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I my experience you get better results by first mastering what you have, and then if you do somehow outgrow it, buy new stuff judiciously.
Finding that line between over-editted and under-editted can be tricky for beginners. 100% agree that it's a personal taste and there is no "right" answer. Have confidence, and never apologize for having your own style. Andy Warhol and Rembrandt and Monet are all completely different, but they're all wonderful in their own way.
100% agree. I often have to remind myself that I have full control over my photo taking and editing process, my photos are my style and not my friends or my teachers, and I can make it look how I’d like it to look! Ofc there are some “rules” that make photos generally just look better. Like have a well exposed photo or using composition properly, but those rules can be creatively broken in a way that creates an inspiring photo!
Even when I am familiar with the topic, I still learn things that I never really even thought about from your concise instructional videos. You really make the complex simple. Thank you, Simon!
I have been taking photographs since 1988, but your videos always teach me something new, kudos. I'd say unequivocally the best photography masterclass on RUclips, thank you.
Another great video. I had a shot today that needed exposure bracketing and I wasn't happy with the result so I came here and found this video. I was pleased to see the 16mm RF lens getting such good results. I had the same lens, but I think the copy I had wasn't very good. I was constantly having issues with it and decided to let go of it since I also had the 15-35 2.8. However, I loved the compact size and weight for travel. Making a mental note to try another copy of the 16mm RF when I see one. Cheers!
I did it. I finally bought camera and lense according to your recommendations. I went out and took my very first bird picture. I know it's not perfect, but i love it. It's a cute little sparrow sitting in the bush right infront of my house. This feels so good. Thank you Simon for your videos and advices!
I've been using LRC and only really used it to do basic processing of images and managing my archive - I HAD NO IDEA it could do all of this. You my fine sir are AMAZING!
Once again Simon, you have demonstrated methods to improve one's photography via understanding what your specific gear and software is capable of, then using those features. You don't need to go out and spend thousands on new gear. Just know what you have and take advantage of it. Bravo!
Hi Simon, I'm a beginner photographer and I just wanted to say THANK YOU! You create educational content like no other and all your videos have helped me so much! I appreciate you sharing your knowledge in such an eloquent and wholesome way. If you ever come to Australia, please please hold a workshop - I'd very much like to learn more from you!
Simon, you have it in you! Answering my questions and addressing my doubts even before I think about. BTW, your free backlit photography helped my improvement in that kind of image, what I really like
Wonderful video, straight to the point. I watched 11:54 skipping 0 seconds. I’m so glad and grateful that I found your channel too early in the second month of learning photography
Hi Simon, I really want to thank you for all your help with my photography. I started shooting with my Panasonic Lumix Fz35 about three months ago, but I've learned so much things thanks to your advice. Your tips were a total game-changer!
Simon, you are truly an exceptional educator. This topic had been intimidating to me, but your clear instruction has made me eager to try it. Seems this is a situation where the majority of the difficult lies not in getting the shot(s), but in mastering the complex editing software.
I wasn’t going to watch this one because I’ve used exposure bracketing before, including Lr merging and editing, to good effect. However, I watched anyway because you just never know! And, who’d of thought, I didn’t realise that using the timer on my camera would make the camera take the 3 shots. So, as I’ve said before, I always learn something from your videos. You’re so generous giving up your time and knowledge to help us become better photographers.
Haven't watched yet, but just came to say the new thumbnail is worth it. Your face is worth more to me than a side by side comparison. I saw the old thumbnail and scrolled past. I didn't realize it was you until I check my subscriptions feed and saw the same video there.
This is so awesome!! I knew the tiniest details about what exposure bracketing was, and this makes it seem so easy!! I can’t wait to give it a try my self!!
i am following you since 80k (from belgium) you sure are a great teacher! 500k and still going, now it needs to be 1 mil! i realy hope you will make that! i will root for you!
I've been doing photography for 20+ years (just amateur fun, nothing professional... yet?), but i still like watching your videos, it's always nice to learn a few tips and tricks. Although i'm already familiar with most of these things, there's always room to improve. Thank you for sharing your knowledge! :)
i was seeing this video (partially) right before i was going out for trying to shoot a sunset. and boy was i blowing away with the results. litterally didnt know this stuff and i am so glad i do now
Thank you for this, Simon! While watching RUclips videos, I've often heard the term "exposure bracketing," but I never knew when or how to use it. Ive got a big trip next week and this technique will be useful. Additionally, that transform tool you mentioned is something I've been searching for forever. These wide-angle lenses can cause some crazy distortion, and correcting them is arduous. My family and friends appreciate my photos (I think), and I appreciate you for helping me make them better/more tolerable.Thanks for all you do.
Simon, I also stumbled across your page just a few days ago, and have already watched dozens of your videos. I greatly appreciate your calm and sensible demeanor. One thing I always appreciate is the fact that you teach what works well, what may not work well, what you prefer, then always invite people to do what they find most beneficial or comfortable for them. I have a hard time listening to someone that teaches in absolutes, so this is very refreshing. I purchased my first SLR (Canon 450D / xSi) 16 or 17 years ago, and moved on to a 70D after a few years, grabbed a few lenses, and then eventually jumped the Canon ship to a Sony A6400 at launch. I'm not sure what I was looking for, but the Sony hardware was certainly impressive, yet I sorely missed the ergonomics and ease of controls of the Canon. It made photography a little more of a chore. I'm happy to say I'm getting back into Canon with an R8 and RF 24-105 F4, and have been soaking up a lot of your content. Thank you so much for sharing your passion and talent! I'm actually excited, and not scared, to try editing my own photos for the first time ever!
I always shoot a 3-image RAW bracket 1.5-2 stops, except moving subjects. Saves me from checking exposure, providing 3 to work with in Lightroom. When there's a wide range of exposure in an image, I can export 2 or 3 layers to photoshop and mask the auto-aligned layer as needed. Blown highlights are much more difficult to recover than shadows, so underexposure is preferred.
I have been quite busy lately trying to get our house sold in the Michigan area. I just happen to catch this video as Im beginning to get my thoughts together for fall. What great timing! I havent perfected the process yet but seeing how simple you make the post processing is just super info to have. Now if I can remember how to do the camera settings. Thank you sir - and have a great fall shooting season.
Always a pleasure watching these videos. I may know how to do most of it already, but its always the small stuff you add that help. (Like the sky selection for the sun, would have never thought of it!)
This is the proper way to do it. I've seen many HDR pictures with unnatural tones, you spot them a mile away. This captures the scene as the "eye" (actually there's a lot of processing in the visual part of the brain) captures it.
Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new, even if the title makes me think it won't be the case... this time it's the transformation tool that I didn't even know existed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
You are a col dude! Always providing simplified, easily understandable versions of photography questions I want answers to. Thank you for being you and sharing. Plus I enjoy hearing you say your name.
I'm currently on holiday in Norway and thanks to your videos I have take a more and especially better quality images. I think that I'm getting my settings and composition quite nice, now the only thing that's left is the editing part. Thanks for everything 😊
Another great video, Simon! I will refer to this one as needed in the future when I need to use exposure bracketing. I also use Canon and Lightroom which makes this video particularly useful for me. Thanks a bunch!
Would 100% watch a livestream of Simon editing more of his photos. Great info, very educational, and not to mention cathartic looking at a photo you thought was headed for trash be turned into not just salvageable but very nice!
I have been wanting to know how to do this for a while! I love your videos Simon! You teach everything in such a simple and easy to understand way. Thank you so much for charing your knowledge!!!
Simon Simon!! What great topics you are covering!! And I can express how much I adore your advises. I started following your tips and I feel that your every next video is coming in a logical progression as a next chapter! I think I can now solely focus on one reliable mentor!!! Thanks for existing!! ❤
Select sky is a great idea!! I always used the general adjustments and as result most of my bracketed images look terrible. The mental switch to use the masks is a bit hard but so useful. Thanks for the great tips!! Cheers
I have been struggling with successful creating an HDR image. This video is extremely helping and has helped me address many of the challenges I have been having. Thank you!
@@MatthewDairon Over the years I have had to use it less. Because newer gear has such great data, I cancel the Merge and work with the best of the 3 or 5 shots. The bracket settings do matter. Too wide and too few maybe all garbage.
Thanks! I definitely going to try this soon! Normally when I want to take a landscape with a lot of dynamic range I just use my phone with automatic HDR, but the quality of the photos is not comparable to what comes out of my proper camera :)
Just finished watching this tutorial-absolutely loved it! Your explanations were super clear and easy to follow. Can’t wait to try it out myself. Thanks for sharing! 😊New subscriber
Every video is a lesson packed full of great advice and always presented in a way that everyone can understand. You remove the fear of photography and replace it with confidence.
Great tips thanks! The transform too I have tried a few times without luck as I obviously did not use it properly. You did that part so fast I didn't quite catch how it was done. Maybe a video on this subject. I had that happen recently attempt at transform but successful! Thanks for sharing great tips! You are one of the best photography instructors.
Hi Simon.. thanks for once again being kind enough to share your knowledge and skills for the benefit of the thousands of photographers out there who just want to make great pictures for themselves,their friends and there families - much appreciated…👍
This has been my burin’ dilemma and out of all the videos I’ve watched. This has been the easiest to process the information. Learned it in one watched through.
As usual, nicely outlined and crisply explained and illustrated. That said, in these HDR situations, viewers should be aware that there is usually no one perfect outcome. Therein lies the art -and keep in mind that mastering the software to achieve the desired results is not always as simple as just moving a few sliders. Quand-même et comme toujours, veuillez agréer mes remerciements pour vos explications très utiles Monsieur ...
I have to say that thumbnail is pretty good! And, of course, the video brings new knowledge and it is easy to follow for beginners like myself, thank you!
I've never used exposure bracketing - thanks for the explanation, I'll give it a try. I've also been told that you can exposure compensate yourself by taking multiple exposures. That way you can actually see each exposure, then blend. Your thoughts.
Your positivity in teaching is very welcomed-- I have been using bracketing for quite some time and almost always use it on my sunrises and sunsets. My only request is some videos of you in the field taking pics. I know those generally are harder to do but I appreciate when you are in the field.
Great stuff Simon. And the _live_ shots of editing are a nice touch. Earlier camera models with bracketing generally offer fewer brackets than today. Canon would have 3. Nikon of the same age would have more, 5 or 7. Today most all have at least 3 but as many as 7 is common. Although, as pointed out, more than 3 may not be needed. I've never used more than 3. Even some mobile phone cameras offer bracketing. The terrific Open Camera by Mark Harman for Android offers a dynamic range optimization mode, high dynamic range mode, exposure bracketing, & focus bracketing, saving in raw, plus much more.
I've been binge watching your videos and I have to say, I've learned so much more here than most others that explain apparently the very basics of photography. I'm now part of a media and creatives group in my school despite only working with a basic camera and kit lens. Thank you
Hi Simon ! I'm from St-Eustache in Quebec and we were in Nova Scotia last week for our vacation. I photograph the same lighthouse (and a few others 😝) in almost the same composition. We were thinking of you while in the Yartmouth area because there was a lot of d'Entremont. I would have love to meet you in person. We loved our vacation and Nova Scotia is such a beautiful and relaxing place. ♥ Your videos are always so interesting. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.
Excellent advice on something that I am currently struggling with. I've known about exposure bracketing, but would just pick the best of the three; now I can't wait to try stacking them. I also was changing the exposure manually, not knowing that the camera could do it for me!

You're very welcome!

I have to say that thumbnail is pretty good! And, of course, the video brings new knowledge and it is easy to follow for beginners like myself, thank you!
I've never used exposure bracketing - thanks for the explanation, I'll give it a try.
I've also been told that you can exposure compensate yourself by taking multiple exposures. That way you can actually see each exposure, then blend.
Your thoughts.
yes, for sure.
This is fantastic.
What a great feature I will be using moving forward…Great video and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
Glad it was helpful!
Your positivity in teaching is very welcomed-- I have been using bracketing for quite some time and almost always use it on my sunrises and sunsets. My only request is some videos of you in the field taking pics. I know those generally are harder to do but I appreciate when you are in the field.
Great stuff Simon. And the _live_ shots of editing are a nice touch.
Earlier camera models with bracketing generally offer fewer brackets than today. Canon would have 3. Nikon of the same age would have more, 5 or 7. Today most all have at least 3 but as many as 7 is common. Although, as pointed out, more than 3 may not be needed. I've never used more than 3. Even some mobile phone cameras offer bracketing. The terrific Open Camera by Mark Harman for Android offers a dynamic range optimization mode, high dynamic range mode, exposure bracketing, & focus bracketing, saving in raw, plus much more.
You're golden! Such valuable information in a comprehensive way.
Glad it was helpful!
As ever, a generally much over explained topic, put simply and understandable with great clarity. Well done again. Ps you must write a book!
Saved and favorited this video. Thank you Professor d'Entremont!
Glad it was helpful!
I've been binge watching your videos and I have to say, I've learned so much more here than most others that explain apparently the very basics of photography. I'm now part of a media and creatives group in my school despite only working with a basic camera and kit lens. Thank you
Hi Simon ! I'm from St-Eustache in Quebec and we were in Nova Scotia last week for our vacation. I photograph the same lighthouse (and a few others 😝) in almost the same composition. We were thinking of you while in the Yartmouth area because there was a lot of d'Entremont. I would have love to meet you in person. We loved our vacation and Nova Scotia is such a beautiful and relaxing place. ♥ Your videos are always so interesting. Thanks for all the tips and tricks.
Another outstanding video...clear information without belaboring the topic. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent video Simon!!!
Simon, great info as always. I always learn soooo much on your videos. Thank you!
Excellent advice on something that I am currently struggling with. I've known about exposure bracketing, but would just pick the best of the three; now I can't wait to try stacking them. I also was changing the exposure manually, not knowing that the camera could do it for me!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks! I particularly benefitted from the editing tips! Thanks for taking me along!
Great to hear!
