I think this video is 2 years old at this point but I just found it and honestly, this is one of the best explanations of "simple" edits I have found anywhere! Thank you for this! I love how you went into detail about why you do what you do instead of just saying "I like to do this" and then do it. Also, that trick about changing the grid when cropping, amazing! I have been using Lightroom for YEARS and never knew you could do that!
This is the best feedback I’ve received in forever on RUclips. Thanks so much and so glad it was helpful!!
I’ve been shooting college sports for the past 6 or so years and this is simply great. So valuable for people just getting started editing
WOW! Awesome video. Only just found you on RUclips. I shoot mostly Rugby so looking forward to trying your suggestions.
This is 2 years old at this point but this is the best simple edit video I've ever seen. Thank you for this!
Thanks for sharing Brett. I'm a beginner and just getting my foot into the sport photography and this tutorial will help me a lot!
Thanks again! 👍👍👍
This is GREAT! All that I needed to know as a refresher in one video. Your personality is so calming to my nerves. And, your voice sounded awesome - neat mini mic!
Thanks for the option tip, always learning something new. That trick works in camera raw as well
Yes it does! It’s a great hidden way to get more info. It’s very helpful when you’re in a bright spot (to see clipping etc)
Thanks!! Didn't know I could/should hold the alt key while using sharpening slider. Thanks! I'll add that to my work flow.
I find it to be a huge help especially when toning where you can’t see the screen that well (too bright etc)
@@BrettCarlsen That will be perfect next year when I'm in my camper at various places. There's always bad light in it when I'm going through pics.
Thank you for this video. I've been shooting sports for years - for free - and weddings and other things professionally as well. I'm about to put together a sports portfolio and need to go back through my old stuff and re-edit; this video will help.
I'm surprised you dont have at least 100k subscribers... This was soo helpful . I would totally buy a course from you. Thank you so much
Very welcome! Glad it was helpful!
Que aula, acho incrível como as fotos já vem "prontas" e mesmo assim o cara ainda a deixa muito melhor. Bom trabalho meu amigo.
Thank you....been doing sports photography for four years and just started using lightroom. This was helpful!!!
Love it
3 years later and I found this helpful. Thanks
Fun seeing your LR workflow and seeing that my workflow pretty much matches yours. Keep it up! :)
Very welcome!
Nice! I can definitely use this approach to the off-road race photography that I've been doing
Awesome!
This is definitely the most helpful video I’ve seen to date. Thank you.
YOU DA MAN! Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been shooting my sons soccer games with my Canon M50 and this is perfect. I will give it a shot after his next game! Thanks again - Geoff
You deserve a comment. Nice video
Great stuff Brett. Excellent content that makes sense and is easily implemented. Keep it coming!
Thank you so much. Means a lot. I’ll keep trying. Always struggling to come up with ideas but I’m working at them
This video showed me how little I actually know about editing my football stuff lol I have never used light room so I was a little lost, but thats ok. I am not sure if we will even have sports again out my way. Even the NFL got kicked out of town. Still waiting for Canon to get some mirrorless stuff in stock. Thanks for sharing.
Very welcome! Hope this helps you test out lightroom and try something new. Call MPEX in Columbus Ohio. My salesperson there is Sonnie but they posted they had R5/R6 in stock the other day. Hopefully they still have some. (This is not sponsored, it’s just where I’ve bought mine and I really like dealing with them)
Thanks for the insight!
Wooow thank you so much!!! Shooting hockey and editing has been a damn headache to learn! This helped so much!
So glad! Keep it simple as they say when it comes to sports toning.
Super helpful! Thanks!
This video was amazingly helpful stuff. Thank you so much.
You’re very very welcome!!
Hi Brett, thank you for a great video, it really helped me with my hockey photo processing 👍
Loved this, just started shooting Moto events and the editing is way different
Oh awesome!!
A little bit in the right direction goes a long way!
thanks - this is great
Thanks for this interesting video. There is not much content about sports photography on RUclips. I have pretty much the same approach except I am using DXO instead of Lightroom, especially for the noise reduction algorithm which is phenomenal. Keep up the good work ! Cheers from France.
Thank you very much!
I'm first because I care the most.
😂😂😂😂 literally laughing
Awesome. Thank you..
Great video
Just found your channel. This is great stuff for sport/action photographers. Thanks so much.
You’re very welcome!!
It was very helpful! 👌
Great job Brett. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Brett. I really appreciate your video tutorials. My 60D bit the dust and I am enjoying my new R6. Have you ever shot a wrestling tournament with bright orange mats, orange uniforms and crappy crazy light? I am bringing my grey card for custom wb but I still have trouble with the color cast on their skin. Thanks again! Your tutorials on the focus and customization buttons are the best. Christy
Seriously love the work man! You keep pushing out great content. Keep it up!!
Thanks so much man! Always confused by what will help or not haha. Sometimes feels like throwing stuff at the wall
🔥🔥
I custom tweak my sports photos and use “copy” in the Develop module if the next photo is from the same burst.
Yes. You can also grab the first one and then sync it to the others which is nice. Or grab a bunch and turn on auto sync and they will all sync up as you go
Allennnn🤟🏾
I love this, I have used it for my college photos. I have a question. Do you know what kind of settings these nfl guys are using to get this desaturated type look
new here! Thanks!
Very welcome!!
What platform do you edit on ?
I wonder what your ISO is for the night pictures? I have a cropped camera and my ISO maxes out at 8000, but I never took pictures at night either.
Thanks!
At nice stadiums you don’t need much more than that. At high school sports you need more.
So maybe 4,000-8,000
What lens do u use for the games & how many cameras??
A mixture. I use a 600mm and 300mm on two of my cameras then a wide angle on a third body.
How do you blur the background like that?
Use a telephoto lens with a large aperture. That was taken with a Canon 600mm f4
What telephoto lens do you normally use when shooting football?
It changes. This year due to covid I’m exclusively using my 600mm f4 IS III with a combination of teleconverters as needed. Normally I use 600 on one body and 300 on the other. Of course I always have a wider setup around my neck too. Many people use a 400 2.8 or 200-400 f4 (with the TC built in). A bit subjective but you really need at least a 400 for good football pictures.
@@BrettCarlsen thanks, I use my 70-200 for high school football... it’s great when you’re at the right end of the field! 😂. Nice pick of Allen by the way #GoBills
Haha yes. The 70-200 is good for when they are scoring in front of you. But not much use for downfield things.
Thank you!
@@adventuresofsteveandlaurie For daytime games and for budgetary reasons, pop a 1.4x or 2x TC on there :)
Go Bills!!
*american football
I’m second because I don’t care so much
Whoever’s third has zero f***’s to give 🤷♂️
😂😂😂😂
Great video
Excellent video
Thank you!
@@BrettCarlsen more than welcome
