I'm one of those "Only the end result matters in the end" photographers, and I like to think of this: Which one is cheating, removing people in photoshop? or asking them to move before you take the photo? Does removing a distracting element by hand in the field change what the photo was?

Good video.Minor districations removal is ok. Replacing or altering is something I don't do.

The way I look at it, as a relatively new hobbyist, is the photograph is really just the base of some digital art, the mechanism for starting the process. The art itself is the story telling / emotion that we are trying to get across in the final image. It's only really trickery if we are trying to tell anyone this is a chronicle, the reality of the scene, at the time the photograph was captured - and I'm not sure many people, outside of photo journalists, would be doing that. With technology there is always a case for having to work around some of the limitations, even to get the image to match 'reality'. Dealing with HDR issues, noise and so on, so in those situations editing can still be valid for claiming something as real. Adding and subtracting, massively enhancing or altering the light for dramatic effect, then no, thats into the realm of digital art for me. The next question is then is there anything inherently bad with that? Well no, art is in the eye of the creator so who is anyone else really to comment on that? Of course people may prefer more or less editing, my preference is for mild editing for example, however it's the creator, their message and their vision thats important & not sure it can ever be the case that that is fake.

This is a pretty awesome job you did with this Short! I felt like I was listening and watching a professional commercial. Keep up the good work, Jeff👍😁

Great, thanks, it certainly is a big learning curve when you start a TH-cam channel

Very nice that you catched the aurora. 👍

I use the multibar for iso and lock it so it doesn’t change by accident.

I'm glad you got out there to go hunting for a photo! I think the shot looks great 6:24.

Man, I wish I joined you....

.......GOOD LIGHTS.............ffs.............

Another good video. I'm a ACR user and I'm pretty sure I can apply these tips. The fact that you started with auto was my happy moment as whenever I mentioned using auto to fellow photogs they alway gave me strange looks.

I haven't really delved into editing photos yet, but when I do, I'm going to come back to your tutorials😀 You do a great job of explaining the tools and why you'd want to do something.

Great demonstrations of using masks and gradients! I used to be a master at Photoshop but my skills have really fallen behind the last 10 years. I'm making a point of learning these newer and far better tools and techniques to replace my dinosaur era skills. Some of the stuff you did here would have taken me hours and not ended with as good results. I think yours here are the most helpful of the demonstrations I've seen. Multiple real world examples end to end of the same kinds of photos I take. I even have some water lily photos that I haven't processed yet. I'll have some new ideas to try on them now.

I will be using those! Thanks Jeff, as always your editing tips are showing people exact steps to take with their RAW photos.

just buy nikon it's better

I’m looking at this lens because it $259 on mbp. I have the RF 16mm and I hate it. As long as this is better I think I need it. What do you think?

👌👍

It's great to get out there and see what's around.

Beautiful shot😁 Testing the durability of the lens, eh😄

Brilliant mate. Ive been really impressed with K&F 👍

I can understand the story with the leopard, sometimes I feel the sacredness of the moment too ! And the character of Sean Penn is like this semi-mystical weird freelance travel photographer. It absolutely makes sense and fits into the story. Into the story of what is important and what is not. BUT !!! There is a much more interesting thing ! He uses a "G" lens on a Nikon F3. They just made a combination of the props they could get their hands on, but it doesn't make sense. With this combination it is impossible to control the aperture.

You know the people filming it, by definition, know, right? It's done on purpose, for fun.

"The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" was so dumb but trying to seem to be smart.

Enjoyed this mate, well done 👍

Fun vid. More like this, please!

A Million Ways to Die in the West is the best for showing a camera in use back then🤣🤣 You need to take pictures more dramatically😁

Something different, enjoyed it. If a film camera was smashed the exposed film would be ruined unless it had been rewound into the canister.

BIG THUMBS UP for this video...THANKS!

Over-editing is a very subjective topic. If you prefer a natural look, that’s perfectly fine. But as you mentioned, it’s important to focus on getting things right in-camera first. Shooting a photo midday with very similar tones throughout the foreground, midground, and background, and then editing it to look natural, can often result in an image that feels flat. Practice shots for preparation are fine, but presenting them as "This is how you do it" feels off to me. Editing is something to be experimented with. It’s one of the few things left these days that can really set you apart (aside from composition, of course). Finding your own editing style is key, and if you don’t experiment, you’ll never discover what really works for you.

Thanks for the tips

Great video Jeff! I think I'm going to stop using the AI Denoise in Lightroom, you are getting the same results I am, and its just like too smooth and no edges, take away the grain, yea, but make the photo look much less sharp in the end.

Once again, another amazing video I’m like at 84sub I still have a full time job and I do photography on the side but like you said I still feel like I only know the minimum being a self taught photographer is not easy but I’m just having fun with this channel and I enjoy sharing my work

this is exactly what I’m talking about a video that is straight to the point. This was excellent great job. I want to see more. You have a new subscriber! my friend

Love it :)

I watched one of your more recent videos and within 20 seconds I knew I should subscribe to you. You’re a small channel, but I found that I can relate to you more than some of the larger channels that are more interested in reviewing a product paid for by sponsors, I don’t get that vibe from you whatsoever.

Definitely what I was looking for. Thank you

Appreciate the video simplifying it!

Thank you, I found this helpful. I am guilty of using auto quite often on my new camera because I haven't had the time to learn yet.

This is an awesome video! Great overview and you really got a lot in that 5 minutes and 55 seconds😁😁

Nice overview!

Great video mate 👍👍

I used to borrow a canon 40D from my brother-in-law. Well really we'd sell it back and forth between each other. And eventually I stopped. I got married and my finances got tied up. As years go by I missed it so much. And though my finances are still wrapped up, I finally bought another DSLR. The canon 40d younger brother: the 7D. I'm very happy with it but only have the kit 18-55 efs. And an ef 50mm. I just ordered this lens. Specifically because I love landscape photography. I'm excited as it is my first big purchase after the camera FOR the camera. 👍

Make sure you can quickly grab the bear spray off your pack while you're wearing it. That looked like a happy dragonfly😀 Those are great filters!

Good call on the bear spray! These filters work VERY well, I love the blur and brightness on the background!

Very nice photos dude! Was cleaning out my dads old camera bag and he had one of these. Just ordered the ef to rf adapter and im really looking forward to trying it out!

I think you caught a good composition of the falls. I like it! Especially with the tree branches reaching into the frame. Gas station was cool. All nice shots. I'm going to get those filters eventually but some unexpected renovations at home will keep me waiting for a while 😢

Plug the crap out of your stuff, Jeff! No need to apologise😁 I love the falls that you're at😍 Maybe you didn't like the photo (I did), but the video there definitely works😀

Nice morning shoot Jeff! Looks like are really making good use of those filters! Did you see that Samsquanch in the forest behind you!!??? I think he shoots Nikon...

Nice 🙂
