What a delight to work with B&H. Thanks for allowing me to share a bit of of technique, philosophy - and joy. 🙏🏻😊🖖🏻
Simply Brilliant. Thank you
@@kennethmalament4926 😊🙏🏻🖖🏻
Great series Hugh, thank you!
This is disappointingly un-helpful for two main reasons: Hugh doesn't explain why he *doesn't* like the images he gets rid of with only one exception about one guy's eyes being closed behind his very dark sunglasses (um, so just darken the glasses more in Lightroom?)- or why he *does* like the images he keeps. He only says whether he is keeping or discarding them. Second, in the images that he edits, he doesn't show what they looked like before modifying them. So whatever we are supposed to derive out of being partially let into his process of this shoot is lost. Kind of a waste of half an hour.
This was one of the most inspiring and informative videos of yours I have watched, and I have watched a bunch of them. As a photographer I am good at lighting, shooting, and editing individual images but the art of curation has eluded me. Beginning with the most basic question of "who am I curating for" through the "color/no color" and the ultimate "emotion conveyed" have always proven to be an unnavigable labyrinth for me resulting in hundreds of terabytes of images locked forever in digital darkness. This short video has inspired me to unlock the vault and begin the curation process. Thank you Hugh.
Delighted to be of service! 😊🖖🏻
You are not brining an objective truth, you are bringing an emotional truth - awesome! Thanks Hugh and B&H!
Hugh is an oustanding photographer! I have followed him for a while an every "talk" show or episode are fantastic.
I've watched a lot of Hugh's videos. This is the best one. There is something so engaging about him and this format of working through some images.
While I've criticized your presentation in the past for being to quick and over-acted, this one is great. No bs and helpful. Nice job.
Really enjoying this whole series. I sometimes think I massively over-cull because I see a lot of photos from other people on Insta that I wouldn’t keep never mind share but I’m pleased to see that I’m on the right track and maybe should be even tougher Thanks Hugh & B&H
This is great. Thanks Hugh! Happy I stumbled onto this series. Love your vibe as a teacher. Inspiring and authentic. 📸
🙏🏻🖖🏻
I always love Hugh's choice in music... Always.
Wonderful video! I just love it.
Brilliant lesson. I haven’t seen anything that comes close to your presentation’s inspiring thoughts and techniques. Like film does, your technique also brings back the simplicity of producing compelling images without a ton of manipulation. Thanks, Hugh, for sharing!
I agree… Brilliant
Thanks for this! These conversations are great.
So interesting to watch many thanks 🙏
Excellent tuition!
Hey Hugh!!!! I absolutely LOVE this series! Thank you for doing it!
Glad you enjoyed the series!
In a time where so much focus is placed on gear, it is a breath of fresh air to see a video that is focused on the art and emotion that photography can convey. I enjoyed every moment of demonstrated insight that was given. Thank you for your gift of knowledge and inspiration, happy shooting! 📸
photography is not just about gear, it's art! glad you enjoyed the video.
Excellent presentation!
Very nice content format! Well done!
One of your best Mr Brownstone! Thank you very much !❤
Glad you enjoyed the series!
I love your videos Hugh. You are validating a lot of what I go thru...I am in Los Angeles. When you come here I'd love to shoot with you
Thanks for watching!
Excellent Hugh
Wxcellent! Thank you. I liked the way you did HDR. I will give that a go.
Loved your video. Very informative and inspiring. Thank you.
Thank YOU!
Amazing vere usefull thnxx
Thank you, I have been waiting for this editing video. Always wonder, how a pro would come back home and do their edits.
thanks for sharing your insight on saying Yay & Nay to the images.
My privilege! 🙏🏻😊🖖🏻
The best.
Thank you Sir Hugh Brownstone and B&H.
😊🖖🏻
thank you, for watching. hope you enjoyed the series.
Love your presentation style. And, for someone who has been shooting (Nikon) for over 50 years, I always learn something valuable from your not over emphasizing how you edit. You leave it up to me to investigate further. Thank you from Calgary Alberta Canada.
Thanks for watching!
so encouraging and affirming to hear a professional talk about noble failure and experimentation! as I do a lot of the latter and experience much of the former.
😉🖖🏻
Excellent video!
Thanks for watching, John!
Thanks for your inspiring. Could you tell me about the computer's information???
I really liked this video, however I would have liked to hear you explain more about what you could have changed when taking some of the photos… missed opportunities, different compositions and the like!
I love this series. Could you clarify why Instagram requires heavier edits? I personally find that a lot of details is lost when image is so small and low resolution, so I usually edit more photos that I intend to print
Thanks, Hugh.
I have learned a lot, my friend.
Greetings from the Netherlands,
Toine.
Glad you learned something new from this series, thanks for watching!
Thanks 🫶
Color more color! 😀
Thank You so much - say it as I mean it!
Glad you enjoyed the video! Thanks for watching.
Love the series... I have a question though... I noticed Hugh was using a Leica SL2 and he showed an image of the Chrysler Bldg he took with that camera and the Sigma 90mm 2.8 L-mount lens. I have the same camera and recently purchased that 90mm Sigma lens. I took it out the other day and noticed it does not offer a shutter priority mode... only Aperture priority and Manual. Does anyone know why? Am I doing something wrong? I am clueless and just too new to photography to be smart enough to know why. thanks
I believe you have to put the aperture ring into A position (controlled by camera dial) to access the other modes. If you're using the ring on the lens, the camera can't auto-change the aperture in S mode. (it took me a second to figure this out too with a 35/1.4 DN)
Fascinating. But now here's a newbie question from someone who's interested in getting started with photography as a personal hobby. It's a practical question:
An individual high res photo is large in terms of file size. If one is regularly shooting 30-70 photos per day (even less frequently, maybe 100 per month), the demand on stable, long term storage would become great. How and when do you decide to permanently delete photos? And for the rest that you keep, what's your strategy for long term, searchable storage for a lifetime of digital photos?
Great great chat!
Thx Hugh for a very meaty 3-party series! I'm an aspiring newbie in this genre. After a year playing with the new mirrorless and mostly 35 / 40mm in M mode, I can't say I've gotten the hang of it yet. But it's obvious from this series that I wasn't even close to scratching the surface ; especially some of the work should have deserved better post-editing; something I ought to dig deeper from now on. My current adjustment is tool is Studio NX from Nikon. What software would you recommend to put the time and effort and training investment?
Luminar NEO is a great place to start. I use Lightroom for its cross platform synching - and its masking tech has improved. Capture One is powerful but complex.
@@3BMEP Thx very much Hugh !
Excellent series. I would like to get and learn Lightroom - the last time I edited photos was using Apple's Aperture and NIK plug ins - that was a long time ago. Unfortunately I'm 500 miles away from NYC now and don't have access to that great subject matter anymore.
Another time! 😊🖖🏻
NYC is always here when you come to visit with your camera. glad you enjoyed the series!
Loved it. But I really wanted to see the final cull and there were some images that I wanted to see you pull up and ya didn't... Peace. Love your process.
Man! More of this, less gear reviews.
To continue an earlier comment I made on a different excellent piece in this series... you are near sighted, and far sighted now too... So THAT is why you wear 2 watches. 😂 Great series from a great human via a great supplier of photo gear and more.
😉🙏🏻🖖🏻
Mr mellow 👍🏻
I once read that the difference between color and black and white is color will show blood and black and white shows bleeding!
Dust spots on your sensor
Yep - as I mentioned.
I am fan of your commentary but I am afraid I find the background music annoying
Who chose the background music? You DON’T NEED IT! Two bars of a repetitive piano piece drove me insane! Apart from that, it was a great video.
That's what you get when you don't do enough curation.
why are you wearing 2 wrist watches?
at 1.5speed its still barely tolerable. lucky the input is somewhat worthwhile
This is disappointingly un-helpful for two main reasons: Hugh doesn't explain why he *doesn't* like the images he gets rid of with only one exception about one guy's eyes being closed behind his very dark sunglasses (um, so just darken the glasses more in Lightroom?)- or why he *does* like the images he keeps.
