    It was so refreshing to see someone mention not blowing out the highlights! I far too often see blown out skies and am hoping to soon see a turn around from this trend!

      Except when shooting film then exposing for the highlights is bad. The video should be more clear that this tip only applies to digital.

    • @stillstymied
      @stillstymied 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      If blown highlights bug you, you can take two correct exposures, like in that example select the window panes and layer them in. I like the blown sky look sometimes and it's not any worse than murkiness you get brightening shadows in raw. There's other ways to deal with range: natural reflectors, avoid backlight, or bracket and layer.

    Just a tip - faces aren't flat - use your hand as a fist when your looking to see how light falls - gives you a better representation of shadow fall off etc.

    The biggest mistake is over expectations. As a beginner, i expected my photos to match those of pros. Sometimes this was good to keep me anxious to learning more but it also made me feel kinda discouraged when my photos dint look good or match those of pro photographers. Thanks btw!

  • @ReelReilly
    @ReelReilly 7 ปีที่แล้ว +39

    Couldn't agree more with these. I shoot video/film rather than still photography, but pull frames from much of my video work to populate my Instagram handle ( @reelreilly ), so attention to light and directing rather than trying to pose subjects is so critical to what I do. Also, points for use of "jimmy jimmy jam jams." Well-done.

    • @MangoStreet

      Thanks. I've pretty much uploaded my stuff primarily to Vimeo, so my TH-cam postings have been seriously lacking up until now. I've actually posted a bunch of stuff this morning. I primarily use FilmConvert and Magic Bullet Looks for my grades, as I like grain and a slight faded film look.

  • @westerlywind1035
    @westerlywind1035 6 ปีที่แล้ว +8

    I sure I'm not the only person thinking this, but surely most beginner photographers don't shoot people but landscapes instead, shouldn't the video be more catered towards landscape photography. Sure, lighting and exposure is important in both but, only a small number of photographers are shooting (not) models for a living. Most of us shoot travel shots, or is that just me?

    • @GaiyaYushin
      @GaiyaYushin 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Thomas Kirby that differs by the photographer.

    • @rjchua928
      @rjchua928 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I started and with portraits actually and then occasionally shoot landscapes. I think it just depends on the photographer, you know. They start with the genre of the photo that they love. 😆😆
