Great ideas and techniques! However, I was thinking you were going to try not to be such a perfectionist! ☺I learned a lot on this one for certain. Keep on keeping on!
I made a couple of mistakes and didn't edit them out. Now that I'm not thinking about perfection it's helped me relax and I'm able to record the first time through. Although, this was the second take. The first one I forgot to hit the record button! :)
I'm greatly impressed with the depth of your photography and editing knowledge and so pleased you choose to share it. Would you consider making a video on editing a photo (a bird shot would be great😸) and make a copy available for download so we can do each step with you? With copyright protection, of course. That way we'll know the result we're after. Thanks again for teaching us.
I'm scaling back editing tutorials for now. At least on RUclips. I'll have an editing challenge in my new photo community where you'll be able to download the file and follow along.
Legit question! In the beginning of the video I stated that I intentionally underexposed the image to retain as many highlights as possible in the waterfall. There is no such thing as a perfect image straight out of camera. To bring out the best of what you captured requires editing. Some images require more editing than others. I'll delve into more about this in next week's newsletter. Also, the camera profile I use is Neutral… which doesn’t have any preprogrammed contrast/colors built in. Which is another reason why the original looks flat.

I love the sun light in the picture, it makes the picture come alive.
i thought you added light over the falls when i first saw it that is why i thought it did not look natural. blessing

I'll have to become a part of this community - it sounds great!
My question is the opposite. How did you create a bad picture like your example to begin with?
