Macro at Home: Easy Lighting and Focus Tips and Tricks!
In this week's easy macro tutorial, I show how I take a photo of a beautiful flower at home, using flash lighting and focus stacking. I explain how I use single and multiple flashes, firing them off camera to help shape the image and how I balance the settings to create the look I want.
I discuss my camera settings and how to use ambient light and create a background light. Finally, I show how I use a spray bottle to add water droplets and how I focus stack the image using Adobe Lightroom and Helicon Focus to create a vibrant, pin-sharp image.

An Easy Street Photography Walk in Paris With the Sony RX1R
zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed 14 dny
In this week's short video I do a quick wander around Paris with my trust Sony RX1R hunting for easy street photos to try and capture the story of my day out in the city. I was in the city for work and unfortunately that left me an incredibly short window to try and take my camera out and film something. As a result, this really is not my best work, but I hope it's still helpful to see the sort...

In this week's photography tutorial I show how I look for artistic street-style photos in otherwise boring places. I'm photographing during the MWC press conference in Barcelona in a big conference centre that is hardly photogenic. By looking for interesting light and shadow, using creative settings and looking for more isolated subjects, I try and come away with five images that I like. Like t...

    여기는 대한민국입니다. 작가님의 영상과 사진으로 너무 큰 감동을 받았습니다. 그래서 작가님과 똑같은 구성으로 구입해서 똑같은 설정으로 촬영해보려고 합니다. 물론 그렇다고 해서 작가님과 같은 사진이 나올 수는 없겠지만요. ^^;; 덕분에 다른 영상을 기쁨으로 감상 중입니다. 많은 도움이 됐고요. 이렇게 멘트 없이 있는 그대로를 보여주는 영상과 사진이 너무 좋습니다. 거리의 소음과 당시의 분위기가 그대로 녹아있는 영상을 저도 언젠가는 만들어 보고 싶네요. 그리고 에든버러라는 아름다운 도시를 알게 돼서 너무 기쁩니다. 이 영상과 사진으로 인해서 기회가 된다면 꼭 가보고 싶은 도시가 됐습니다. 더 좋은 컨텐츠를 기대합니다. 감사합니다. ^^

  • @simonshoots-scores9762

    Just discovered this great video, thanks. At 9:52 you said it’s already a fake image. I disagree. You could argue that the moment you change any single thing on any photo it becomes fake. For example all black and white photos are therefore fake as the world is not black and white. Keep up the good work and thanks for sharing.

    Personally I very much like backlight effects but it does need a bit of front lighting too, either a weak second light or from a reflector. Nice experiments!

    Enjoyable video. I liked it. Another way of moving the focus is to use EOS Utility (Canon). In live view mode you can use buttons to move the focus through the image. No quite as captivating to watch as manually focusing I guess but is means you don't have to move the camera.
