I'm really enjoying your channel! Your authenticity is so refreshing. I hadn't thought of adding a second layer of graduation before. Tried using this technique while editing a seascape photo recently and the results were very dramatic. The effect was exactly what I was looking for. Thank you!
Henry thanks so much for this video. This is going to transform my work and allow me to return to so many photos and re-edit them where I knew I could get more from them if I knew how to get more from the skies in the post processing. Top job
Enjoyed a bit of early morning education also it nice to see a bit of behind the scenes stuff and the software used, nice one henry ( top draw mate lol)
Thanks for the tips on how you use the graduated filters and also range masking. I popped into a couple old images that came to mind and made some nice improvements.
Thank you Henry. I've seen loads of videos where photographers swear by their mega expensive filters & do comparisons. Having seen your video I won't bother & will use my money more wisely. Stay safe
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. I learned some new techniques that I will definitively incorporate into my landscape photography, and maybe into some other genres.
Thanks Henry. I use the grad filter in LR a lot but never thought of overlaying filters or combining with range masking. I've learnt a couple of new things to go and play with. Great stuff!
Been using the grad filter in lightroom for a long while now, but the trick with the luminance slider to get it away from the cliffs is top notch, I subbed from that moment, keep em coming.
Definately definately does the trick; thanks as always. Here in Oz we often have clear blue skies. I tried your technique on such a sky and it worked well; thanks to you and the graduated filter. Mike in Oz
I enjoyed the video very much. Nicely done with the two graduated filters, going to give it a go. Like you Toronto Blue Jays ballcap and your Canada touqe. All the Best from Canada and take care.
Hi Henry.. I use the LR grad and circle grads like a photoshop layer mask. For example pull the grass over the sky, darken (or clarity or saturation or what ever) then take the grad's brush, set to erase, and uncover some areas of the grad mask. Its sort of like dodging but with a constant level of graduation
I often look at my old slides and wish I hadn't used a grad - or at least used a subtle one. They shout 80s along with the over-use of the polarizer. 😀
I think the use of resin or glass grad filters is a matter of choice, although I do agree with you that when it is raining or windy then they can be a right pain. The one thing I would say though, especially when using small sensor cameras with limited dynamic range (e.g. Olympus m4/3rds) that the use of grads in the field is more essential especially for very bright skies. Also, I don't have a massive selection - a 2 stop medium and a 3 stop medium - that is it, and yes I am also an Olympus user. All the best chap. Stay safe.
Hi Henry. Hope you’re well. To be honest I’m using my grads less and less but that’s probably down to the scenes I’m choosing to take. LR grads do have their limitations as I find anything beyond a stop difference introduces unwanted noise. Bracketing is obviously an option but then again, I like to capture in 1 image. It’s a good overview of how we choose differently to get to the end image. Take care, stay safe 👍👍
That’s actually a really good point man, I’d say I’m also using them less and less due to the actual scenes I’m photographing too - I didn’t really think about that. Cheers mate
Every now and then there’s something awesome that takes our skill level up a notch. Your explanation of the range mask is great. Didn’t know about it and this will improve my editing. I’ve been thinking about flogging my Grads as I very rarely use them. Many photographers seem to be advocating bracketed shooting now with just the polariser and ND set left in the bag. Edit: Your next video about exposure blending... 😳
This is really interesting. I bought a set of 8 filters a few months ago from AliExpress for £25. They've been very good. It never crossed my mind to just do it in post processing.
I am finding the new lightroom range mask much harder to use in conjunction with the graduated filter tool - maybe since they introduced the select sky mask
I agree, if you are already shooting in raw and post-editing, lighten your load and sell off the filters. I just use a polarizer, but then I live in th US southwest desert.
Henry, Great. I have spent too much money on those filters and see you can actually have more control in Lightroom. By the way, I feel like I am on my massage table with the background music, maybe not really needed?
Hi Henry, Great video as usual - love your videos. How do you shoot for the exposure? I note that the photos used were basically evenly balanced but what about when you get a 2 stops difference between the land and the sky where the sky would be blown out without a filter?
Cheers for the comment Eddie!! Yes if there’s a higher dynamic range I’d definitely exposure bracket out on location and then blend the exposures together in Photoshop 🙏🏼🍻
I have been trying tome and time again to justify the purchase of a filter set. I can't. I carry a VND, and CPL currently, and will be adding a 10 stop ND next week. I'm also trying to slim down the amount f weight I carry. Being an Olumpus user has helped with the weight loss goal, but not with the number of items! LOL Keep up with the great videos!
I almost never use filters, so I completely agree with you.. Can do without and just do it afterwards in Lightroom! To me personally, I like it better doing it in Lightroom, cause there I can choose which parts get affected and which not. If I were to put a grad filter on, it would just cover that entire part of the picture.
I agree with the observation that LR/PS can substitute for graduated filters in nearly all use cases. Seeing how nearly every digital image sensor assembly contains a UV filter, you really do not need one of those, either. Also, CPL filters can have an adverse effect on the phase detection AF systems in some cameras.
Henry. Thanks for yet another interesting video. As you stated last time, do we need extra kit. Not just the expense, but more thing to carry etc. I’ll stick to a polariser only.
Great tip Henry thanks for sharing, unfortunately for me I recently bought a Nisi v6 kit but I'll persevere with them as the creative effect they give for water you can't emulate in LR PS or C1 which is what I use.
I agree with cameras today there is much more range to capture all the detail and then use the grad filter in LR. If you can't then just bracket and either use the grad filter in LR or Photoshop which I find better if you use 2 photographs (different exposures) and put them in layers and use the filter.
Hi Henry. As the saying goes on radio (at least over here in North America), "Long time listener, first time caller." I meant to offer you a pat on the back comment on your range masking video, which I'd argue is the single best one I've seen on the subject. Best I can put it, it was done in a way that was just more relatable and approachable for the majority of photo enthusiasts; easily superior to attempts by other prominent CZcams photographers and even a couple of the editing software companies. And I'll briefly echo feedback of others that it was refreshing to get your take on *not* using ND grads. (Adam Karnacz / First Man Photography is the other that comes to mind that's stepped out there with a similar position.) Again, I think it steers the general photo enthusiast in the right direction of narrowing what to worry about in the field, understanding what they can do in-post, and refining what & how they need to capture things to arrive at a good final product. Separate from the topic, I wanted to offer some constructive feedback on your presentation in this video. When I went through business school, it was always a good reflective exercise - and sometimes a revealing one - to watch the video of presentations we made in classes. Since it's likely you're going to have some more videos from home while we're all confined for a little longer, I'd encourage you to to that here. Watch it with, and in contrast it to, your range mask video, where you were measurably better on-camera and in your narrative and in a way where the personality, passion and energy we see in your field videos still authentically came through. (I'm happy to offer some more specific feedback offline v. taking up space and perhaps drawing the ire of others here. LMK & I can email or DM you via IG.) I sincerely hope you, your family and your friends & neighbors remain well as well all navigate COVID. And I'd much rather buy you a beer in person (the Canadian thing to do) if our paths are ever close enough to cross!
I own two graduated filters but I am going to ditch them as well because you're right: they are more of an hassle than anything else. That said, I tend to do multiple exposures and then combine them instead of taking one shot and lift or darken part of the images (I do but in a more selective way for other purposes). Apart from that, I've always underestimated Lightroom since I am more of a Photoshop and luminosity masks guy but you are putting in light so many tools that I find easy and powerful. I think I will use Camera Raw in a more deep way from now on. Finally, lucky you to live there. here in Italy for 3/4 of a year if you have a lonely cloud in the blue sky that's moody for us....
Difficult one? On the filters, I have a few and keep wanting to add more, but the price and what can be done in post puts me. But I would rather get as much right in camera as possible. And without filters it’s not always possible to capture the dynamic range in one exposure. Ok so you can exposure blend, but starts to add a whole level of complication in post. I think what I’m saying is there is room for both.
Well, I think graduated filters are useful if you want to smooth the cloud movement a bit, but don't want to use it for the ground. And of course, if you have an even horizon. Given that you are doing your trips in the Lake and Peak District, well... 😅 I consider them as a nice to have, but my priority is clearly on polarizer or ND filters. Besides that: I found out that my editing software sports something like range masks, too. It isn't called that way, instead its name is "parametric mask", but the idea is the same. I'm just not sure if this tool in my software is more sophisticated or just more complicated than in Lightroom. 🤣
Hi Henry great video as usual on another note i don't seem to be able to flick between the edited and original like you do, is there a reason for this i'm very new to photography and lightroom?
henry great video last photo edit lovely photo......but there looks to be a halo along the cliff tops which spoils it for me. but that is only the opinion off a novice all the best & keep up the great vlogs
Henry Turner I think it’s great. The editing suite looks and operates very much like LR and as far as I can see does everything that LR does-at least as far as standard editing goes. Big bonus it’s a free download. And if you want the full version Photoscape X Pro it’s a one off payment of $30. Check it out, I would be interested in your opinion.
I’ve gone with circular filters ... Polariser, 4 stop ND and 10 stop ND...... just screw them together and put screw caps on and all 3 slip into my pocket .... much cheaper, much smaller.... exposure blending instead of grad filters
Do you have Lightroom 7 there by any chance? If (like me) you don’t subscribe (‘cos it’s a silly price), then l don’t think dehaze and range mask are on it.
I don't have any grad filters, and I don't think I'll be buying any in the future either. I guess I've listened too much Nick Page saying they "create destructive workflow" and such.
I'd never waste my hard earned money on grad filters for a few reasons: 1: the good ones are way too expensive for amateurs like myself 2: using them is a destructive workflow. I can get more natural look by blending my exposures in post production 3: they are useless if the horizon is not perfectly straight 4: cameras have good dynamic range today so most of the time i can get the shot by exposing for the highlights or in extreme dynamic range scenes i just take 2 images one for the foregroung and another one for the sky and blend them in photoshop 5: i like spnding my free time with photo editing it's fun for me :)
