    Hi Everyone, I'm headed out to the mountains for 6 days, see you Next Tuesday! PS: Leave me a comment below of something you want to learn next. I have a big list for future videos.
    Enjoy,

    You are the first person of all the u tube photography channels that actually teaches so one can understand. Thankyou

    I gotta say that your videos are some of the most relevant and helpful that I've seen. I particularly like the level of detail that you go into regarding what and why you do what you do. Keep up the great work Dave.

    Dave, your videos and guides are a lifesaver. I just turned 72 - have a degree in Art (Photography) from the film days - 35mm, 2 1/4, and 4x5. I got into digital about 4 years ago and have struggled - about to retire, I added to my Sony A6000 with an A7R4 and am a bit overwhelmed. Discovering your website and CZcams channel have been a blessing...I am starting to believe I can go back out like the old days and create "art" without worrying about settings etc because of your methods - thank you!

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 4 lety

      You're welcome! Glad it's helping you out buddy. There is a lot more stuff on my email list if you're interested: www.davemorrowphotography.com/free-video-series

  • @sueb9064
    @sueb9064 Před 6 lety +1

    Thanks so much, Dave! I spend most of my time photographing in canyons in the Four Corners area, so seeing how you do it is very helpful!

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

      Nice, that's great. The southwest is my second home, 3-4 months of the year. So addicting.

  • @JonHarting
    @JonHarting Před 6 lety +3

    Enjoyed the walk-through on your methodology on this exposure bracketing. Would like to see how you blend them but will also look at your video library for that. Ramen, veggies, and peanut butter pairs well with the great outdoors!

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety +1

      Thanks Jon. I don't have my blending techniques on my website as of now. In the future there will be material:)
      I am working on a complete 14 hour photo editing course which will cover all these techniques in extreme detail. You have good tastes in food!

  • @eugeneviolette4192
    @eugeneviolette4192 Před 6 lety

    I really like your approach to explaining how to properly expose in the field for proper color and sharpness and color, tone capture. You go beyond what others do in explaining, which is refreshing. I can only get better by watching techniques such as yours in field situations. I appreciate what you are doing.

    • @DaveMorrow

  • @amirnaghib
    @amirnaghib Před 4 lety

    Thanks Dave. I recently have discovered your videos in CZcams. I can't Thank you enough fo the most relevant, practical and educational photography videos I have ever seen in CZcams which have been enriched with your pure first-hand personal field experience.

  • @DaveReasonsSr
    @DaveReasonsSr Před 6 lety +2

    Great tips, I usually shoot a lot of 3 shot bracketed images and then blend them together, basically using a spray & pray mentality. I'm going to try your methods from now on from surveying the scene before shooting to getting a good exposure using the histograms. Thanks

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety +2

      Less images to sort when you get home, I forgot to mention that point. Best of luck, sir:)

  • @destructobeam3000
    @destructobeam3000 Před 6 lety +10

    You're a Landscape Photography Zen Master! I've shot bracketed before. I knew why I was shooting bracketed, but I don't think I ever really planned for how to use them in post. I just assumed having the metered exposure, and then a +1/-1 would make everything fall perfectly in place. Nope. I will be using these tips for all my High Dynamic Range situations from now on. These lessons are opening my eyes (and brain) to so much. I can't thank you enough.
    My vote for the next LPJ would be your Focus Staking Technique.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety +3

      VOTE RECORDED! That's great to hear. You'll have less images to deal with if you don't bracket, major upside as well:)

    • @destructobeam3000
      @destructobeam3000 Před 6 lety +1

      I thought I would also throw out another future episode suggestion. Maybe a night photography shooting/planning tutorial. I know the concept behind twilight landscapes (pre-dawn/astronomical twilight), but would like to get some tips and tricks.

    • @mocarver

  • @JarradL
    @JarradL Před 6 lety +2

    Great video Dave! I think you have a good way of explaining things. I think seeing the end result of your process would be great. Not necessarily what you did in photoshop to get there because there are a ton of videos on that but the end result of your hard work would be cool

  • @bcphotography

  • @scotty4418
    @scotty4418 Před 6 lety

    Dave another really informative episode and again the style and approach to sharing your technique makes this series a much see again for me. You have made me revisit my approach and looking back at some of my recent outings and images has made me realise the areas for improvement for the next time I get out and about. Certainly would like to see the photo stacking vlog to compliment the other releases to date. Enjoy the mountains

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

      Hi Steve, Thanks for the vote on the video & the input. It's really valuable / helpful information for me:)

    • @gabrielalamberti5860
      @gabrielalamberti5860 Před 6 lety

      Some of the new Panasonic models (even some point and shoots and super zoom cameras like the FZ80) have focus stacking built in, no software needed.
      I would love see to professionals show us these techniques but on everyday cameras.

    • @richardfirth726
      @richardfirth726 Před 6 lety +1

      I agree with Steve. The tutorial was great and now I'd like to see your workflow for putting the images together. Thanks much for sharing this, Dave!

  • @pin65371
    @pin65371 Před 6 lety

    I've been exposure blending for a long time and never thought about looking at the edges of leaves like that. I usually just bang off a few brackets and call it a day but you are correct in saying that isnt the best way to do it. Most of the time there isnt a huge rush anyways. Gotta slow it up.

  • @MLC48
    @MLC48 Před 6 lety

    Thanks for the detailed discussion of your thought process for setting up the photo; especially in the harsh desert light! I'd love to see your moon photos and your thoughts behind taking images in moonlight.

  • @suzanneneubauer5062
    @suzanneneubauer5062 Před 5 lety

    Oh man, I have shot a ton of bracketed photos where the exposure for shadows is so bright it's unusable - it never occurred to me to look for the light transition lines - game changer. Thanks! I also love the tip to re-focus for the shadow exposure so you get a combo of exposure bracketing and focus stacking. Can't wait to give this technique a try.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 5 lety

      Let me know how it goes for you:)

  • @Photoracer1
    @Photoracer1 Před 2 lety

    Excellent video Dave! One tip you mentioned is really important, and that relates to not blowing out the red channel when you're exposing for the highlights. Having learned the hard way, I know now to make sure that I double-check that before tripping the shutter. Thanks for the good information!

  • @clark7894
    @clark7894 Před 6 lety

    Great tutorial on exposure bracketing. Looking forward to the next video. Would love more on focus stacking.

  • @Wayne100viper
    @Wayne100viper Před 6 lety

    Hello Dave, Thanks for another amazing video! Your tips and advice are what most professional photographers keep to themselves. For a future video, I would like to see how you go about finding the right composition which is key to taking a great landscape photograph. Cheers!

  • @gordone222
    @gordone222 Před 6 lety +2

    Nice job and informative. Not sure I would pitch my tent in the bottom of a wash unless I really knew the weather.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

      haha! FLASH FLOODS! They are no joke. 5 days of clear skies under really high pressure, 100 miles in all directions. All Good! It also really depends on the size of the wash you're in. That's a huge canyon.

  • @christopherchall7056
    @christopherchall7056 Před rokem

    Hey Dave, thank you for your hard work. Just watching this Exposure Bracketing video (E7) I couldn't help but notice a background @ 16:43 as you were recording. . The rock in the background behind you was killer!

    Good film and really enjoyed that. Some helpful tips on the bracketing. Noodles and peanut butter sounds interesting and maybe have to try it.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

      It's one of the best. Bring an onion & kale along to top it off. They usually last 2 days before going bad.

  • @grantking4681
    @grantking4681 Před 6 lety

    Dave, your straight-forward, no-nonsense explanations are an absolute joy. What I really like is your step-by-step approach, explaining what you're doing and why and then showing us the final product, you've really opened my eyes as to how good my photography can be so many thanks. When are you coming to Australia, I'll do a trek or two with you?

  • @miguelholguin123
    @miguelholguin123 Před 6 lety

    Your way of bracketing makes sense. I'm in Mesa, Arizona. Big problem is the desert trees with bright Sun behind. The leaves and branches many times look unnatural with a large glow on the edges. Thank you for showing and explaining how to bracket correctly.

  • @marvinmoriarty8858
    @marvinmoriarty8858 Před 6 lety

    @georgestancl2283 Před 6 lety

    Hi Dave,
    Love your videos! Downloaded all the manuals from your website and studied them. Page by page i am wondering how amazing it is. It had to take so much effort and time to write them. They are super technical and detailistic. And you gave them for free... it is unbelieveable. I highly suggest everyone to get them too. As a next episode I would love to see the one for compression

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

    @billonthehill9984 Před 6 lety

    This is all great stuff Dave... I no sooner think my way is the only way and you come up with some excellent alternatives!
    I really appreciate how you utilize the histogram along with knowing in advance what you will be doing in post to blend the images together...
    I shoot with crops, but most if not all that you are demonstrating by example still applies imho...
    Thank you,
    Bill Farr... :-)

      Hi Linda. Thanks for letting me know you're interested in the topic! I'm working on a 14 hour photo editing fundamentals course, which will come out in the coming months. It will cover luminosity masks and blending as one of the topics. I'll also put up some basics on youtube as well.

  • @davidstorer4706
    @davidstorer4706 Před 6 lety +1

    Just stumbled on your series ... this is the first that I have watched. I found your explanations and the way you described your thought processes and the principles that you are applying exceptionally clear and interesting. As TheJarrad posted earlier ... it would have been great to see the final image that emerged from this. Did you get round to taking a shot of the tree with the canyon wall fully lit in sunlight behind it? I think that would have made an exceptional composition. Learned a lot from this. Thank you.
    EDIT: OK, now I have read through more comments and more of your replies, I can see that your 'workflow' means you don't get round to serious editing until months after you've taken a shot ... so posting the final image with a video just isn't feasible. Maybe you could throw in a round-up video every few months showing how the images finally turned out, reminding us briefly of how you took the shot(s), and maybe commenting on what went well and what you might do differently given the opportunity again? Hey ... I know you're not seriously into video production for it's own sake, so it's just a thought.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety +1

      Hi David. I really like your idea of the review a few months later, for the images in the videos, then linking back to the videos. It's really a fantastic idea. I'll integrate that into one of my future videos, when I release new photos. Thank you!
      PS: I did shoot the tree under full light, but the light wasn't as good as the day of the video. It's okay:)

  • @wilmavanheerden9177
    @wilmavanheerden9177 Před 6 lety

    Thanks so much Dave for this great tutorial. I would love it if you would do a video on different metering modes. When and how to use which one. That is if you haven't made one before. If you can in that case let me have the link. Take care!

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

  • @yonroth7382
    @yonroth7382 Před 6 lety

    Hi Dave. First - a great video tutorial about exposure metering and colour range. I used these specific methods for years before digital cameras were mainstream. Yes, 35 roll film. Today there is HDR (High Dynamic Range) software on cameras that (basically) complete this whole process with one click of a button, and save as a RAW file to allow further editing on Photoshop. So what of those to options provides actual results in a print that has a better quality of light and dynamic range visible ?

  • @daviddemero4340
    @daviddemero4340 Před 6 lety

    What a great video
    But more importantly, what a great teacher,
    Dave you bring the "how" but most importantly, you bring the "why"
    And make us think and learn - how to bring our skills to the next level
    Next video? Stacking, twilight shots, photo gear, computer choice,
    What ever you choose, i am sure it will be informative, keep up the great work!

    Hi Dave, I would have to agree with one of the viewers below that I have often taken the approach to activate bracketing and then "Spray and pray!" There are lots of takeaways in your videos and the for me, the big one is to not rush so much and take time to really explore the scene. Watching your bracketing video is inspiring because you detailed out very specifically the "how and why" you took control of your scene and not allowed the camera to make all the choices for you. Excellent work. When you go out on these little excursions, how many keeper images do you come away with?

      Glad to hear it Dan. Usually on a 2 month trip, living outside, and shooting everyday, I might get 10 images I love, and 30 total that I'll post to my portfolio. There is a huge margin on both sides though. Some trips way less, some way more. That's what's so much fun about backpacking and traveling by foot, no matter what, I can get my 15 miles in for the day and I feel an accomplishment.

    Instructive, information-filled video that I learn from each week. Thanks and keep it up. I'd like to see the focus stacking technique video. Not sure I need to see the whole blending process of the 3 images from today, but it would be nice to see your finished product to give me an idea. Some of us are more Lightroom than Photoshop, so the actual technique will vary, but seeing the final product will help to confirm your technique.

    Another awesome video Dave! I too would love to see your post processing on these images. And of course, all the stuff you travel with! And the food?? Ramen and peanut butter?? LOL Anyway...
    I was doing some research on my camera after watching your previous videos (where you meter with live view histogram) and unfortunately, not all cameras have live view histograms (unless you know something I don't). I only have a D7100 and it does not have that feature. I guess I'll just have to shoot first and adjust for the histogram after the fact, until I can upgrade. Maybe the D810 will come down in price now that the 850 is out?! :)
    I will definitely be using your tips when shooting HDR images. I've only just learned how to use the cameras automatic bracketing system for exposure bracketing this past year. But like you said, it will be much better if I choose the settings myself. I suppose it would be even more beneficial on a lesser performing dynamic range camera, such as the one I have.
    You're making me think about what I'm doing and I love that. Rather than someone just saying which settings to use, or showing us which settings they're using. I recently posted an article from "National Parks At Night" (a workshop tour company) to our camera club's Facebook site about that. Its called "Own Your Settings". Basically instead of asking which settings to use, just shoot and figure it out. Use the knowledge you have to figure out what will work best. That's how you learn. That's how I learn best.
    Anyway, you replied to my last comment on your last video and wished me luck on my trip. We shot sunrise over a surf and some beach rocks (very rare in Florida) and I got a killer shot (actually while using the automatic exposure bracketing system). Right after the third shot fired I was hit with the remnants of that wave. Got it all on camera. It was awesome. (Yes, had the rain gear on my camera and a CPL on the lens). Wish I could upload a photo to show you, but i'm sure you have several of your own just like it. Thank you again for being such an inspiration to me and a great teacher!

    Can you pls post your processed image? Would love to see how your technique improves over regular +/- exposure compensation

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 5 lety

      Do you mean +/- automated exposure bracketing? I'm using exposure compensation in the video. The goal is to capture the exact data you need for the shot without guessing and taking extra images. Automated exposure bracketing is a guess. It will work sometimes and fail other times. When i get back from a shoot I know that I have the correct exposures on my card, without a bunch of extra bracketed images. Most of the time I only use a single exposure -- > czcams.com/video/BtExFWacuZ4/video.html I'd recommend reading this, it will make things clear on the science of pixels and exposure: www.davemorrowphotography.com/exposure-triangle There are also a bunch of other videos on my channel to help out here: www.davemorrowphotography.com/landscape-photography-journals

  • @michaelscupine5257
    @michaelscupine5257 Před 6 lety

    Question about setting up the AE-L/AF-L to use as "lock" focus instead of shutter button. I have Nikon 610 so I only have the AE-L/AF-L. I have used this technique for a few years now. However, I have used in the AF-on setting. From your demonstrated 3 shot blending technique, each of the 3 shots will also have a locked exposure. Hence, I should change my AE-L/AF-L setting to AE/AF lock not just AF. Am I understanding this correctly?
    Also, this setting is more for non-movement oriented landscape shots, hence the AF should be set to S (single) versus a movement oriented shot (animal) when the setting should be C (continous). Thank you for your clarification. Your technique has opened my thinking in new ways. Thank you.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety

      You don't need to lock. Shooting aperture priority mode locks the exposure with whatever your set value of EV is. Technical details here -- www.davemorrowphotography.com/exposure-triangle

  • @JohnJohnson-bo5sv
    @JohnJohnson-bo5sv Před 4 měsíci

    P.S I appreciated the part about blending, and not making difficult blends for yourself. I did a sky replacement or maybe it was just masked and had exposure lowered, but the tree ended up looking like it was being electrocuted? got to figure that blending business.

  • @JohnJohnson-bo5sv
    @JohnJohnson-bo5sv Před 4 měsíci +1

    Howdy, I first learned on film (Ektachrome} and then the light meter renders everything to middle gray {18%?} bracketing was more about insurance that you got a usable image. Now I am trying to learn with a 5D Mark iii (makes bracketing easier) is the camera meter still underexposing highlights and overexposing shadows to make everything zone V ..in a "if your a hammer everything starts to look like a nail approach?

      Hey Gary, my photo backlog is about a year in delay, working on photos from late 2017 right now. Always out backpacking more than editing so hard to keep up. You can find all the latest published stuff here: photos.davemorrowphotography.com/Latest-Work

  • @JimDurfee
    @JimDurfee Před 6 lety +1

    Another great video, thanks. My 6D Mark II doesn't have the dynamic range your Nikon has so I'm often bracketing landscape shots, usually with 5 shots, and then merging them in Lightroom or ON1 Photo RAW 2018. This seems to be working good for me as a hobbyist photographer. (Plus I'm not very experienced with photoshop).
    Your videos, methods, and techniques are inspiring me though to up my photography game! Not sure I want to dive in to learning Photoshop and editing more than in Lightroom and ON1 though.....
    Hope you had some beef jerky and R&R rot gut with you on this latest trek! :)

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 6 lety +1

      Thanks Jim. I was running with Black Velvet, a close competitor in the low end whiskey market, found in great towns such as Blanding & Hanksville, Utah. Photoshop will change your life. It's the only reason I really enjoy post processing.

    Dave, loved the video and explanation. A bit worried about your tent location. Definitely don’t pitch down there in those washes. Even though the sky looks good, a thunderstorm a hundred miles north could fill that wash with a flash flood in the blink of an eye. Best to pitch on high ground when backpacking around southern Utah.

    • @DaveMorrow
      @DaveMorrow  Před 5 měsíci

      Glad you liked it. I'm not at all worried about it. Spent years of my life hiking in the sw. I wouldn't worry about camping in a short wash, where you're within a few miles of the headwater and can track the weather. You'll know if the weather turns anywhere upstream. Sleeping in a canyon that comes from 50 miles away is dicey, because there is a huge drainage basin covering hundreds or thounsands of square miles, so you won't know if the weather has turned upstream. If you're hiking in a long canyon, sleep in one of the short side canyons at higher elevation. It's all about the size of the drainage basin and it's proximity to you. Hiking the Hayduke there are many stretches where you need to sleep in canyons, and you have to get good at reading drainage basins and their danger. Flash floods are a danger, but you can mitigate most of it with camp selection.
