      You can do it in after effects. It's called object tracking. If the footage is good, the software does it all for you in no time. You might have to tweak few tracking points in case something goes wrong, but it's not as hard as you think it is

I have to remind myself to stop and take a breath to evaluate the situation. Love finding your photo edits:)

    Fun story, you can actually break a chunk of that plant off and stick it in a cup of water and it will root and grow another one. Just make sure it has a few leaves on it (like 5 or so).. rip off the bottom leaf closest to the cut and put it in water... Should have roots in like 30 days or less. Then you can plant it in soil and have another Pothos. :)

    On a side note, I have always wanted to work for myself as you have stated, and a few months ago I began my journey doing my own thing. I have a long way to go but I finally feel hopeful and excited to work! Your videos have shown me that I too can learn to make a living doing what I love. Thanks for the inspiration!

    @pjdexter168 2 года назад +11

    The histogram tip applies but not to all photos. If you’re shooting in snow then your histogram will be peaking mostly in the highlights area, altering it will ruin the image. And vice versa, if you’re doing night photography then the opposite is true.

    Hey. Peter. It’s Adam. Listen, I don’t have Twitter so I’m just going to try my best to post this as quick as I can on your newest videos. I’ve got some ideas for future videos that I think would benefit the community (AKA, me). I’m a visual learner, you’re a visual teacher. Let’s do this thing. 1. How to clean your sensor. I’m…terrified. Haven’t cleaned my a7iii sensor since I got it, I think it’s time. 2. How to shoot 120p around those horrible cheap flickering lights. Are they fluorescent? I don’t know, but they’re the worst. And 3. I’ll be honest, I can’t remember. Maybe on-the-go microphone hacks? I travel and find myself in awful empty/echo-y AirBnB’s and recording becomes a pain when I can’t seem to get crispy audio. Cool, thanks. Make good decisions and do cool things. Also, dope video. As always.

      get a dbx 286s and you'll be good to go.. I PROMISE

    • @JohnWick-id6pk
      @JohnWick-id6pk 6 лет назад +1

      If you have already got an audio interface you could add a FetHead preamp (+20dB), a CloudLifter (+25dB) or any other studio preamp (Art Tube, Rolls, PreSonus etc.)

    • @likelupiniii3466
      @likelupiniii3466 6 лет назад

      cloud lifters cool and all, but the dbx 286s adds much need compression and other features that are great if you're not in a studio setting where is absolutely no noise. which is why I would recommend the dbx 286s over just a cloudlifter, but both if you can afford it.

    • @JohnWick-id6pk
      @JohnWick-id6pk 6 лет назад

      I agree, tube preamps are always better than "mic activators" but still perform quite well for their compactness ( ruclips.net/video/izeVBY9KPWo/видео.html )
      The problem is that many of us like myself don't have the space on the desk for a 1U tube preamp

    Best and easiest to understand discription of a histogram ever! Every thing else I ever researched I felt like I needed a degree in string theory to understand. It was way too intimidating so I just ignored the histogram. I will definitely start looking at it now.
