In this location photoshoot, I explore exposure blending against HDR merging. I show you my camera exposure techniques and compare Lightroom HDR with Photoshop layers and masking to create stunning sunset images!

I laughed when you said a few adjustments to the image, that amount of editing would take me an hour to do at least, merely because I would have to stop and start the video so many times 😂😂, i would be great to get a slightly slowed down version of a tutorial like this for us newbies to the editing game, but excellent work non the less

You can use the playback speed options in youtube for these reasons

This is awesome Mark, thanks for sharing - clearly explained and beautifully edited. The kids in my school are going to love watching and learning from this! I was Hastings about 6 weeks ago and wish I'd walked out further onto the beach in front of that view, definitely missed out there.

I'm a very amateur photographer who enjoys shooting into the sun then struggling with Lightroom's 'flat' HDR to get what I want. Your demo, along with the great overall production of this video has earned you a sub!

Awesome stuff mate! I have to say that came out gorgeous - if i may say so though, I actually absolutely love the look of it when you cropped in at 9:36 - still great DOF and the boats highest points seem perfectly on thirds. . . Blown away my man! 🤯 👌🏼 Gonna have to try this way instead of stacking in LRC.

Good video. Just wondering whether it would be easier to achieve the same result using the HDR as a base image for local adjustments?

@vanhunghoang6335 2 жыл бұрын

Using HDR is simplier in the field. Once HDR is merged, you have all the info to produce your desirable landscape.

You should be on the stage with this show boss, that was mind blowing. I thought I was getting my head round PS then this happens. I love the way you compare merge with this. Lucky for you I am going to have to watch this video many many times. While I am at it, your videos are also very clever, I imagine there is a lot of planning to get that many angles, or do you have a film crew?

The 50mm is so underrated yet powerful lens. I forked out a fortune for my 24-70 but still tend to bring only my 50 with me most of the time. As women say size doesn't matter unless it's small and the 50 is just small enough to carry it all day 😂

a kinda like it, but for me is waaaay too much. Bit more a like a fake'ish - looks more graphic than picture. Dont get me wrong, the tutorial is absolute perfect. But the HDR effect seems to be odd.
