Just ones that I have collected over the years. Nik software. Some colour & texture as well as luminosity plugins (that I rarely use) by Jimmy Macintyre. I shall go over them at some point in the future. 😊
thanks for the explanation also use a 5ds for work but am having problems when i use 50mp as focus stacking in PS question do you use 50mp per shot or use less 34mp for blending thanks, bgrs Michel.
@@JamesKerwin While in Aperture priority camera selects shutter speed. When you focus on the top part of the image, take the shot, then focus on the bottom of the image you have 2 shots with different shutter speeds it you have center weighted metering selected. But if you are you using full frame light evaluation then both shots will have the same shutter speed and be the same brightness regarless of you focal points. Just wondering what mode you're using,
@@JamesKerwin Manual modes in cameras often default to a version of metering that is in between center weighted / spot metering and full frame metering which averages light in the entire frame and then decides your shutter speed. Do your settings let you specify?
Excuse the constant animal noises in this one, we have crickets, cows and chickens - they follow me around Georgia!
Excellent video. Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks.
My pleasure - thanks for watching!
Thank you great video.... I really need to learn this so I'll be watching on repeat!
Perfect - have it nailed now?
Thanks so much ❤
Thank you James for sharing your process, really helpful! I would like to see how would you use this technique in real estate interior with a flash
Great suggestion!
Very useful technique ! Thanks for the tutorial. By the way, what is the use of the plugins on photoshop ? It look interesting

I use the full resolution of this camera always. What is the issue you are having?
@@JamesKerwin with 50mp my PS has memory problems so I use a slightly lower resolution and also get a nice result
@@moring666 I would suggest upgrading your RAM in your laptop or desktop. Is it less than 8-12GB?
@@JamesKerwin I use a macbook pro 16mb
Would you recommend a remote shutter when doing HDR and focus stacking?
Yes you could use a remote shutter or a 2 second/10 second timer as shown.
Just wish I can get out and start photographing again ...
wow - that was quick! Locked down where you are?
@@JamesKerwin just outside London but I'm a medium to high risk
@@whizadree well fingers crossed we can all get out soon enough. Horrid year!
What meter setting??
When you say meter? What are you refering to?

Argh I was in manual mode! Great point. Thank you. I will update the notes!!

Did I hear the crazed screams of inmates at 1:33
inmates - no it was chickens, cows and crickets in this video - most things associated with rural Georgia! lol
