Congratulations on the 15,000! Your presentations have so much to offer than the standard same old videos on a given subject. More practical and down to earth. Like stitching the landscape shots, don’t need every lens for every eventuality. I fell into this and only screwed up my back carrying heavy equipment. Thanks!
Didn't realize until this video you were only at 15k subs as the videos seem super polished and so well put together. Congrats, man. Love the content. Might also want to throw in some links to clothing too... cant tell you how many times I've screenshotted a shirt or two of yours to google search .lol
There are people who consider stitching cheating? Some of my best landscape photos are stitched 😂 They can take stitching from my cold dead hands lol. Great video
Full manual so the exposure is correct to the scene. I meter for the middle and let the rest of images be over/under as they would be if I metered for the meter for a single shot. If you don't do this, your exposure could be all over the place in the stitch. Shadows would be bright, highlights dark, etc. It won't look right.
Dave, maybe a bit of help to educate me on my own ignorance. Perhaps the subject for a video. I see a lot of content from people on landscapes and I just wonder, how are these people making a living at this? Who is purchasing these images and for what purpose? How do you stand out in a crowd in this medium? I go a lot of places few people will ever see due to my work. What I fail to do is capitalize on my downtime there. Is it possible to survive in the images, or is it the videos about creating the image that keep people afloat? Just putting it out there, I realize it's a lot for one post. D
I don’t know anyone who makes a living purely from landscapes. That said, here’s how it’s been for me. Landscapes are often a product of tourism photography, where a chamber of commerce or tourism board hires you to capture images they can use for their tourism promotions and advertising to bring people to the area. I have done a lot of this, and landscapes are often half of that package in addition to city scapes, and key elements that make a location appealing (sites, restaurants, hotels, etc.) There’s also licensing of photos to companies. For instance, Target licenses a landscape from me and sells it as art. There’s also dozens of companies that license my landscapes for usage from their website to advertising. Finally, these photos can become prints to be sold if you have the client base. I have landscapes for sale at The Yellowstone Gallery in Montana. Hope all of this helps!

Thank you! I ditched all the heavy gear too!
I really enjoy your videos and images, Dave. Thank you. 👍
Thanks!
Pinnacles is underrated, great photo spot that I need to revisit! 15K is just the start for you with this caliber of content.
Thanks man!
Great content and deserved milestone!
Thank you!

Appreciated! Most of my shirts and jackets come from huckberry.com
Thanks Dave - good video and tips. The foreground thing struck a chord with me, I just lack creativity I suppose.
Thanks man. Give that foreground tip a try. Can really change things up.
I’d never really considered stitching before, need to give that a go now. Thanks for sharing!
For sure! Give it a try. Pretty new for me, too, but I've enjoyed only carrying one camera and one lens lately.

Landscape photography tends to attract a lot of “purist” who would not approve of stitching. They’re missing out!
Excellent images!!!
Thanks!
Congratulations on 15000!
Thank you!
Great vid as always. How do you set your camera when stitching?
Full manual so the exposure is correct to the scene. I meter for the middle and let the rest of images be over/under as they would be if I metered for the meter for a single shot. If you don't do this, your exposure could be all over the place in the stitch. Shadows would be bright, highlights dark, etc. It won't look right.
@ Thank you! 🙏 I will try it out.

@@davidherring - I really appreciate the extensive reply and clarifying points. Especially when I realize it's 5:45 am where you are!
@EasyTarget892 ha, I’m up early everyday.
Great video. And I guess anyone who criticizes stitching doesn't use a wide angle lens.
Thanks!
