This is the BEST counter-balancing advice to "Find a dark background." I've seen many compositions thrown off by highlights that sit near the edges. After seeing this, everything makes more sense. Thanks Pi!

Just a hint:in order to quickly identify the lens in use, press the „i“ key a couple of times to toggle the information displayed in the upper left corner.

TERRIfIC !!! Composition and light control have been my two highest fun factors in my 55 years of photography. And now, in this 15 minute tutorial, you have doubled my fun factor quotient. And I really appreciate your editing processes too. I’m hooked on your channel. Thanks!!

@kavanlake871 2 жыл бұрын

That’s a fantastic reminder. We have the tendency to go, go, go…but a slight pause to just set everything up correctly saves a ton of editing after. Nice job Pye and thank you 😊✌🏾

I don‘t understand why the faces of the couple aren‘t much darker in front of the bright sky.

@tysonp5245 2 жыл бұрын

I assume it's b/c he exposed for them & let the sky be blown out. That way the file will retain some of the blown out background, but huge amounts of info on their faces.

How about a video on how to distinguish between when to use natural light and when to add in flash without making it look unnatural?

@markborton729 2 жыл бұрын

such a cool tutorial... was you intent to keep the background blown out so you wouldn't see the hotel ? My understanding was to expose for ambient lite and then use HHS .. Is this wrong to do it this way.

@hazardstorms226 2 жыл бұрын

Hi! Thanks for the video! When I create the radial filter I always have to invert it to get the dark area on the outside of the photo. Is there a way to set it so it always starts that way?

@pogolas 2 жыл бұрын

Nice tip. I wonder if Pay came up with it by experimenting or it is a known composition rule, that he read or learned from other photographers. I would like a group posing tutorial.

@andresgonzalezcerda7635 2 жыл бұрын

@davidjones8070 2 жыл бұрын

When using Capture One I invert a mask with a luminance curve and you can pinpoint exactly where your bright points are and can’t tell if flash is added.

What metering mode do you use when you put the subjects in the brightest area?

@stephengatley8144 2 жыл бұрын

On a shoot like this you would use the Manual setting & check the Histogram for exposure (Mirrorless). On DSLR switch over to live view hold the framing & check the Histogram. Hope it helps!...

@smaustin23ify 2 жыл бұрын

Quick question for ya....when placing the radial filter over your subjects are you inverting so that you can control the exposure that's outside of the filter?

I’m going to ask a dumb question. Is this Lightroom classic or just Lightroom? I started out in photography taking photos on my iPhone and using Lightroom mobile to edit. So when I moved from the phone to my laptop I downloaded Lightroom but not the classic version and I’ve noticed everyone else’s Lightroom seems to look different than mine. I’ve made sure I’ve updated both anytime it’s available but even then I still can’t find the new masking tools. Any suggestions on which one I should be using? Lightroom or Lightroom classic

On your 1st shot why were you at iso 400 and shutter speed 1/1000 ?? Why not keeping iso minimum and decreasing shutter speed ?? QUESTION OUT OF CURIOSITY. ANYONE CAN REPLY !
