Awesome !! Glad to hear, I will get on to a video on the migrating, thanks for the idea🙏🏽

Yew! cheers for the feedback.. appreciate

Great question mate. So I am using the manual focus with wides less these days with the R5 because it is so accurate, however the manual focus techniques for ultra wides above the surface of the water is still a very solid technique... the advantage of using auto focus is that if you did want to get a few shots below the surface of the water then you need to be in auto focus.... what camera are you using?

thanks so much for the feedback ... stoked they are helping

Thanks so much!!! Definitely had fun on that trip😃🤙🏽

thanks so much

Glad it was helpful, really appreciate your feedback

Awesome, thank you so much for letting me know!

Thank you so much

Sounds like a camera error, I would contact your camera manufactors service department

Thanks for your feedback on the video. Yes so obviously when you are working on your photos you need to have your external HD plugged in. But you can unplug it and plugged it back in later and then continue to edit them or save as jpgs... does this answer your question?

Yeah it pretty neat hey? definitely give it a go on your images and let me know how they go!

@@dreamlifephotography I don't know how to use PS well, only Lightroom.

@@danlightened Luckily Lightroom is best for nearly all of my photography editing, so its great you know how to use LR well, but start to play around in photoshop a bit and Im sure you will pick it up pretty quickly... it does have some good tools that can't be found in Lightroom

That is so epic to hear!!!.. the examples I actually used for this video were shot many years ago when this tool did not exist, so yeah I reckon there will be a few old photos that could be "saved" thanks for the feedback, I really appreciate it

@@dreamlifephotography yes I’m digging into the archives from over ten years ago and found a couple water shots to use this on with good success. Thanks for sharing bru

Of course I always aim to get it perfect in the camera so minimal work is required in post edit, but in certain situations you can do these slight improvements which help the composition and look of an image... not really adding to the image something new just finessing it.... glad that the generative fill tool has helped your work flow mate

Its pretty wild hey?? I reckon the biggest improvements have been inside Lightroom over the last 12 - 18 months, but yeah Photoshop is incredibly smart these days

Yes you are right, printers will accept just about all colour spaces

Thanks for the feedback Christopher, super happy that it was helpful!

Hey James, well all the info is technically "off the noggin" but when I am more prepared I do script my content... when I do script the video it is more concise and to the point. About 50% of my YT videos are scripted (teleprompter read) and the other half just set the camera rolling a free style it. I think this particular video was scripted but it was shot a long time ago so not 100% sure

Yeah this is a great question! I know that they reduce to a certain size (2048px long side) and I have downsized to this in the past but with the pinch and zoom on insta now I find if I load them at 3000px long side or even 3500px they just look to me to be better. This is just from my basic testing and observations, so thats why I go higher with pixel count. When I have done their suggested size it always looks poorer quality... At the end of the day you are loading up on to someones elses platform so you have little control... this is why I help my members and students get a place that they own to properly display their photos... but I would encourage you to try an upload at 3000 px and then try one at 2048 and see if you can notice any difference

@@dreamlifephotography cool I will go d that ago later on and see what I think thanks for the reply dude

Thanks so much, so good to hear it was easy to follow, I will be doing more TH-cams on Lightroom in the future, so Im glad this one helped!

Thanks Richard... appreciate the support and yes for sure, these tips would definitely carry over into almost all sport action shooting... cheers

Hey Sean, thanks for your great question. So the dome ports are curved and rounded much like the shape of wide angle and fish eye lens, so optically they are more of a match. When you start getting into the 50mm focal range and above the lens is flatter in nature which matches up better optically with a flat port. Its not that you can't shoot with a 50mm through a dome port, its just better optically to use a flat port for a 50mm. Also the dry port method that I reccomend with flat ports seem to work better than the lick and spit method for the domes when using longer lenses (but don't get confused with this - always use saliva for domes and dry port method for flat ports no matter what lens you are using)... so if you only have a dome port at the moment I would give the 50mm a go inside it... I know many that have done this with some success, its just not the ideal.... so you would just get less images tack sharp and compromise a bit of lens quality by doing this... hope that helps?

@@dreamlifephotography Thanks for the detailed answer. That makes sense and answered what I was looking for. I'll give the longer lens a test in the dome port and see how the distortion looks!

Thanks for your question. Is the file (update file) you saved a dmg. file? the file name looks something like this "eosr5-v190-mac.dmg" sometimes people try installing the FIR file and that wont work. Check the file name is the dmg file and be sure to unzip if necessary ... hope that helps

so glad you found the tutorial helpful, appreciate you letting me know\

Thanks mate, appreciate your message!

Thanks so much!! with the 50mm it varies a lot to what Im shooting but mostly around F3.5 .... from memory I was around that for this session

Thanks so much for the feedback, stoked you got some value from it!

Thanks so much!! your comment just made my day!! I really think this video has the potential to make the most impact as an improving photographer out of all my other ones, so Im glad you saw that... it hasn't been viewed that much, but the ones that do take that advice will benefit greatly, appreciate you taking the time to give your feedback!

Thanks so much!! stoked you liked the video and my images, really appreciate the encouragement ... let me know if you have any questions on this or anything else cheers

Yeah Luke, it works so well!! If I find out anything I will let you know via this comment thread

So exciting!! you will have loads of fun with it! Let me know how you go with it

Stoked you are shooting the crew around Coffs mate... and that SFM is working well for you! good to hear

Epic!!! thanks so much for letting me know, stoked it had some value for you!

software works great, surprised you found this video!!! Pixieset is a great option for this sort of thing

Great question, obviously if a surfer asks not to be on there, then it is best to respect that request and not upload those particular photos. Over my 24 years of shooting surfing I haven't had any objections, but Im sure there has been the odd case. Most surfers are stoked to check out a pic of themselves. Legally its only if you are using them in a commercial sense (like an advertising image for a business or a brand) in that case you will need to get a signed model release.. but much the same as newspapers have been doing for years if its not for commercial use then it is legally okay. But as mentioned before if someone objects just take the image down and delete if necessary... hope that helps

Thanks Paul

I don't know of one, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone has set it up. I will be asking my audience on instagram and here over the next few days and hopefully have an answer for you soon... thanks for your question!

@@dreamlifephotography thanks a lot !

Cheers James!

Yes a lot of videos inside the water photographer course relate to surf photography... I also have a course called "Confident Photographer" that is designed to get the fundamentals perfectly in line which is crucial to good surf photography (that course will be relaunching soon, more details on the homepage link below) and we have 1on1 options. Are you looking at surf photography from the land or the water? see more info here: waterphotographycourses.com/

Thanks for your comment, great to know it helped, its so important to get this catalog system right as soon as you can

Cheers mate, appreciate your encouragement very much and so glad the vids are helping!

Hey mate, I don't have a 90D so I couldn't say for sure, but I would imagine it would have it, but it will be located somewhere different.. If i can get my hands on a 90D soon I will check it out and get back to you, hopefully you can it happening because it is a useful feature

Hey mate, yes I have a TH-cam video on travelling with gear, You can watch it here: th-cam.com/video/gEpw2-f-l5A/w-d-xo.htmlsi=XSEeaX7pg0-NiuQq And I have more on this topic inside my comprehensive water photography course as well
