  • In this location photoshoot, I explore exposure blending against HDR merging. I show you my camera exposure techniques and compare Lightroom HDR with Photoshop layers and masking to create stunning sunset images!

    I laughed when you said a few adjustments to the image, that amount of editing would take me an hour to do at least, merely because I would have to stop and start the video so many times 😂😂, i would be great to get a slightly slowed down version of a tutorial like this for us newbies to the editing game, but excellent work non the less

      You can use the playback speed options in youtube for these reasons

    What’s nice about the nifty-50 is that it hones your skills in handling the art of the sneaker zone and slowing down your photography and taking time to compose all aspects of your capture.

    Way too much trouble for a mediocre outcome when you can just quickly mask the sky in an hdr and make much better adjustments IMHO

    I'm a very amateur photographer who enjoys shooting into the sun then struggling with Lightroom's 'flat' HDR to get what I want. Your demo, along with the great overall production of this video has earned you a sub!

    This is awesome Mark, thanks for sharing - clearly explained and beautifully edited. The kids in my school are going to love watching and learning from this!

    The 50mm is so underrated yet powerful lens. I forked out a fortune for my 24-70 but still tend to bring only my 50 with me most of the time. As women say size doesn't matter unless it's small and the 50 is just small enough to carry it all day 😂

I have to say that came out gorgeous - if i may say so though, I actually absolutely love the look of it when you cropped in at 9:36 - still great DOF and the boats highest points seem perfectly on thirds. . . Blown away my man! 🤯 👌🏼 Gonna have to try this way instead of stacking in LRC.

    You should be on the stage with this show boss, that was mind blowing. I thought I was getting my head round PS then this happens. I love the way you compare merge with this. Lucky for you I am going to have to watch this video many many times. While I am at it, your videos are also very clever, I imagine there is a lot of planning to get that many angles, or do you have a film crew?

      Using HDR is simplier in the field. Once HDR is merged, you have all the info to produce your desirable landscape.

    Hi sir really love your method but I'm an iPad user and new to Photoshop. can you make a video teaching exposure blending on ipad ? I checked some of other CZcamsrs, they just don't do a good job. Some of them don't even have the creative.
