Thanks David for empsizing what we did in the old days is still relevant today. For all you digital guys, you might want to know that we also used test strips. And, FYI color prints took an hour to develop. If it was not right, back to step one. Film was lots of work and materials expensive. I'm so pleased digital has arrived. Cheers, DB!
Great video as always. I dodge and burn quite a lot to guide the viewer through my image and to connect the various elements to enhance the composition. Listening you talk about those paddles in no way makes me crave for the old days of film!
very good coverage on the affect burning and dodging can bring out of the image to focus on the subject matter center of attention of for the eye to capture the subject. a good tip of tools of the trade nicely done David
Unfortunately this video doesn't really cover what D&B is used for nowadays probably 95+% of the time. Most people are talking about dodging and burning faces and bodies to smooth images and create the 3d(ish) look. This video misses all of that but mentions it's existence at the end. And that's what most people will click on this for.
You're making me nostalgic for the old ways. Dark Rooms were the best, especially when working with friends. Great times, Good Memories.

Very nice explanation how this technique was used in analog times and give us examples how to do it today. 👌

I consider myself very close to a master in this subject, but only in Ps & Lr because I've never used any other programs.
Great video and all clearly put much of this is new to me this will help me put it to practice
Thanks sir
Great video, i feel like i have to do this just to be noticed as a photographer.
The naming had to come from a Britt. Dodge means move out of the way, Burn means heading towards ashes.
Excellent video ty
Do you have a link to a good capture one tutorial to dodge and burn you did?
Hmmm, no. But maybe I should do more videos about post-processing. Feel free to send in the question. :)
I have a very small space which lens would be good to capture full body images?
I use Lightroom's AI capabilities to detect the subject (full body, face, etc.) and then apply "dodging". Pretty convenient.
I miss the hand dance of a chemical darkroom…
