  • In this weeks video, I head out into the Buckinghamshire Countryside to do a bit of macro photography. The overcast weather meant it was ideal for moody macro photography.

    Like Neil Armstrong, I have this afternoon taken the momentous accolade, it’s one small step for an automated algorithm one giant leap for me watching a Charles Palmer video and getting the first comment. It’s all downhill for me from here.

    2:17 Really, you should increase the exposure to the right. Then, in post production, you make your adjustments to get the elook you want. In this way, you are less likely to be impacted by digital noise.

      AGREED! Why do "creators" include unnecessary, distracting, otherwise loud and obnoxious "music" in a non-musical video??
      Showing off editing skills????

    Wait a minute - isn't going from 1/500 to 1/1000 INCREASING, not DECREASING shutter speed?????

    • @usernamemykel
      @usernamemykel ปีที่แล้ว

      IOW - at 1/1000, the shutter is working FASTER (increased speed), than the slower speed of 1/500, no?
      At 2:18 you said "If I reduce my shutter speed (from 1/500 to 1/1000) the histogram moves to the left - slightly underexposed'. So, you INCREASED your shutter speed - if I'm not mistaken - please advise.
