I like the "NO SKY" as believe the scene is better with the colors of the water.

@djinn_tseng 11 ай бұрын

i agree. feels less chaotic somehow. like your eyes are contained within the subject space, and less distractions from the sky cutting into the image.

I thought I would prefer 'no sky', but the 'sky' photo is so good... Thank you for the explanation of the histograms and how you use them. Very interesting and informative.

@christophermason7735 26 күн бұрын

Your RGB histogram tip is excellent. Muted colours is something I've struggled with. Despite people saying it's not required I recently bought a grad ND filter. Not gone for the square one as it's too expensive and too much faff. I do ding the grad filter useful in avoiding bracketing. I hate the way brackets produce ghosting when things like trees are moving.

Great, relaxed videos! I like the NO SKY version more - it does have some tension in it, but that as well makes it more interesting, I think. The SKY version is strongly boosted with the distant bay, and is quite nice as well.

I admire your ability to read and adjust the histogram. At this very moment I'm not sure I could effectively make those adjustments on the spot. But afterwards during post processing I use photoscapes to adjust lighting and colors to the original view. Your videos are awesome and enjoyable. Keep up the good work!

Very informative and interesting video Ian. I never completely trust the histogram and like to bracket my exposures if I’m uncertain. Never new about the natural live view thing. Not sure if my xt3 has this function but that’s my next task. Cheers. All the best. Now, where’s that camera.

@alanbrunelle1546 11 ай бұрын

That was an amazingly instructive video - lots of good little tidbits in there. Fantastical explanation of an often overlooked topic (or at least trivialized 🙂) As to the drone shots I muchly prefer the one w/out the sky: it's not the sky that bothers me too much in the other one, but the two beaches kind of have the eye swapping back and forth. The non-sky one has a pleasing swirl to it Thanks very much for the education and sharing such wonderful shots!

Both drone shots were great, preferred the sky one only because it showed the water the other side of the point, if it had been just land in the background then it would have been the first one. Great use of the swipe gestures to change live view and histograms.

Your comment about how you set the screen is something I've thought about a lot myself. I have the LCD turned up because my old eyes often need it. But, you mentioned something else about the profile and since you're shooting an X-H2 in the video I'm assuming you mean the standard simulation. So, you shoot in Provia but turn down the contrast and saturation? Is that correct? The reason this caught my attention is that you said what I've been trying to figure out. How do I set the screen to look like what my eye sees? I also think about this when it comes to focal length and try to make the image look like what I'm seeing with my eyes when I want that field of view. What a beautiful beach! I hope to visit the UK some day and see first hand the place people like you, Chris Orange and Thomas Heaton show me on my computer!! I think I would choose the image with sky here. Not really because of the sky specifically, but because my eye really likes symmetry. and that central placement of the rocks and cliff pleases my eye more! LOL! I agree with you regarding the importance of shadow detail. I like it. I think it provides more depth to an image whether it's a landscape or a portrait. Thanks for all of the tips Ian. Have a great weekend!

@ian_worth 10 ай бұрын

Hi, yes i Have it set to Provia , lift my shadows and reduce my highlights a bit to reduce the contrast, then dial back the colour to make it more natural looking. i guess it depends on what your shooting but that seems to work well for my local area. just dial it in to your taste 👍👍

@arianta72 11 ай бұрын

I personally pick the one left without sky. Its more presenting the point of interest in nice framed. However, it might turn out different from Client's perspective. If we give the one with sky they might say our picture is just a mediocore. But if we give just the one without sky the other one of the Client might say "ah its a good photo but it has less information for our purposes,". But if give them more options they or at least some of them might still say "you take too many similar photos, give us lesser with more good quality." 😀

I change my default Lightroom settings so when importing the photo it applies the correct picture profile that I was using at the time. This I assumed negated any potential differences in the natural raw file. Would appreciate your thoughts, and I appreciate not everyone uses Lightroom so the natural live view is still very much valid.

Thanks buddy, yes you are right. Natural live will help with challenging scenes though, especially when your highlights and shadows are on the verge of clipping.
