Yeah you’re colour grading is awesome but your audio cues are great as well, that little ticking noise during the intro gave a really cool sense of passing time. I’m a fan of the little things, keep it up!!

Love this. One of my favorite things about the Oregon coast is how moody it can get. If you ever go back to the Oregon coast I highly recommend proposal rock in Neskowin Oregon. Thanks for all the tips! Love the side shooting concept.

Thank you! Totally agree, that constant change of conditions is a part of what makes it special. Neskooooooo, one of my favorite places on the coast! Incredible memories on that stretch. Glad you enjoyed the video, I appreciate the comment.

Thank you for sharing this content with us. To someone on a completely different side of the world, who is engaged in photography as a hobby, it means when he sees another side of the world or hears some good advice - like the color wheel trick. Also, the room you are shooting from is awesome, the light is beautiful.

What kind of film simulations are you using? Interesting approach vs shooting raw without a somewhat preview for the direction of the edit! Thanks in advance!

@DylanSpitz 10 ай бұрын

I don’t really do much in camera, usually just hopping between like classic chrome or black and white. Sometimes velvia to really push saturation. But all of those are simply for visualizing, not for actually starting an edit from raw or anything.

@p_syv8053 11 ай бұрын

Oh man! What a great video Dylan! Absolutely love your color grading / photo editing btw! You've really nailed the look, but it only makes sense, knowing you come from a videography background. May I ask you how long you roughly spend on average on a single photo edit?

@DylanSpitz 11 ай бұрын

Thanks a ton! Really happy to hear that. That's also a great question - I would say on average between 10-15 minutes per image. Sometimes longer, but that usually indicates that I'm trying to rescue a photo that wasn't great to begin with.

@StuartWeir 11 ай бұрын

Mind sharing any of the film simulation settings you use as a profile to get an idea of a future edit in post, kind of like the stormy photos near the end of the video? Are you mostly leaning on Classic Chrome or Provia? If so, any baseline set of settings you might be able to share?

@DylanSpitz 11 ай бұрын

My everyday setting is usually classic chrome, gives a nice neutral palette. That particular scene you're asking about - I remember I wanted everything exaggerated while shooting so I used velvia and cranked the white balance down to get in that headspace.
