So glad I found your channel. You make things easy to understand without being pretentious.
Thanks so much Scott! Great to have you as part of the community! 😁👍
Another great video, Mike. Well thought out and explained great with examples. Thank you. Stay safe.
Thanks very much Lance!! 😁👍
I really love your channel!! So helpful!! Thanks
Great to hear John! There's a lot more to come as well! 😁👍
Good old saturation slider, when I first started photography just used to whack that up to 100 and thought it looked great 😂
Haha! Thanks Daniel...I think we have all been through that phase of photography!!
The worst thing is when you look back at your old photos and realise what you were doing!! 😆
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Great guides as always Mike!! 👍
Thanks very much Jason! 😁👍
Super helpful, thank you for sharing! Especially since I’ve been tinkering with different color profiles on my a7iii! So these editing tips should help me test the profile after and see what works best! 💯✔️🙏
Great to hear it was helpful!
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Absorbing post, Mike; gotta soak up the info😁. Good point about contrast affecting saturation. Not sure about saturation=happiness. Over saturated pics do look somewhat “cartoonish” though, as in over-processed HDR, IMO. Thought you might have ventured into new Color Grading tool/tab of LR; perhaps in future vid? BTW, nice haircut.
Haha! Yeah, on reflection "happiness" was probably the wrong word...😆🤦🏻♂️
Yep, too much saturation = pain to the eyes!!
Please make video on practical knowledge of the dynamic range. Each camera gives best DR with the lowest ISO settings and sometimes it picks up a little after some point. But I don't think you should always shoot photos with say ISO 80 maybe there are instances where DR isn't that important (like cloudy weather) and pushing ISO a little bit higher is ok. And also how does that impact DR of RAW photos when editing (not numbers, practical comparison). Nobody really talks about this :)
I’m a Sony shooter and was doing some experimenting with a new zoom lens. I was using different focus areas...wide, zone, center, spot, etc. I was testing sharpness at various lengths within its range and throughout the frame. I tend to auto focus first, then fine tune with manual for stationary subjects. That got me thinking, when doing this, does the focus area of the camera setting really matter other than perhaps speeding up my manual tuning? For example, in center focus mode but manually tune the focus for say a flower petal near the top of the frame. I would think I’m overriding where the focus area is and no image quality issues would arise but I really don’t understand sensors, focus points of a sensor, and how auto focus works to start.
Hope I articulated that well enough.
great video
Thanks very much! 😁👍
Ugh, I've forgotten about the vibrancy slider recently:-/ Try to remember to use both in Lr CC. By the way, I think the split toning tool they added to Lr CC just before Xmas, is better than that in Capture One. I like both these programs equally now, and it amuses me how different results I get from them. Like two different styles of photography.
January and February have been fantastic for landscape photography here, so cold, snow and rim on the trees. But to the weekend there'll be up to + 10 degree Celsius. A pity, but I'm grateful for the images I got.
We could have collaborated on this video, Mike. I could have provided you a link to my edited travel photos from say 2010 - 2014 and you could have told your viewers to go there and see how not to move the saturation slider. I was a threat to over-saturate EVERYTHING. I like to think I have gotten better. I hope you guys are well. Take care, brother.
Haha!! Those pesky sliders seem to always want to go to the extremes!! 😆😆
We are good dude! I hope all is good with you as well! 😁👍
Subtle is key. Thanks for the playlist muppet boy
Haha!! No worries dude, just make sure you keep playing it on repeat!! 😆👍
Hi Mike , oversaturated photos seems to be quite a common problem, by the way.......when I apply to the raw file a given camera profile, let’s say ‘landscape’, within the editing software it appears quite different from the jpeg with the same profile applied in-camera, do you have the same problem?
Amazing explanation as ever!!! Just a note, adjustents on camera only affect to the jpg file.... not to the raw file....don't??
Thanks very much Juan. Yes, you're correct. Adjustments in camera just affect your jpegs...or the jpeg preview you see on the back of your camera.
😁👍
Hi MIke: Another value added video! Thanks as well for compiling a 'Watch LIst' for us. QUESTION: I will be buying a second Sony body for use by either myself or my wife. I currently use a Sony A7iii, but I am considering either the A7Rii or the A7Riii or the A7Riv. If I don't shoot video what would the up-side be? Maybe this could be a topic for a video comparison? Cheers, Keith
Thanks so much Keith! I'd go with the A7riii as you are already used to the bigger battery. The smaller battery of the A7rii is so annoying once you have used the Z battery. As for the A7Riv, the megapixel count is ridiculous, and not really needed by most of us. The R bodies are best for photography, so they would be the ones to get over the S series.
Thanks for watching 😁👍
Hi Mike: Thanks for your feedback. I agree the A7Rii doesn't seem to be an option. The price difference between the A7Riv and A7Riii is less than $1000 Cdn so while it may have huge megapixel I wonder if it would be worth it overall. It's like when I owned a boat, people often upgrade in short order by only a couple of feet. Cheers, Keith

Have you ever consider working as a narrator?
Your voice is bbc earth kin of material to my ear.
Well thanks very much, I really appreciate your kind words 😁👍 My only problem is how many mistakes I make when shooting these videos...it takes a lot of editing to get rid of them all 😆
Thanks for watching 😁👍
@@mikesphotography well, I do appreciate your xplanation as I am new to phone photography.
But hey, it always good to be blessed with another talent.
