Tutorials
Good evening readers,
I trust you're all well?
Well, as some of you may know, I'm working on a book at the moment, a fieldguide to shooting landscapes.
Its going to cover the essential gear, technique, settings and maybe a bit of post processing, and is aimed mostly at those relatively new to landscape photography and photography in general.
My question to you guys is what would you like to see included?
Nothing is too basic or "stupid". If you'd like to learn about it, I'd like to hear it.
Either drop me an email through the site or leave a comment at the end of this post.
Thanks for reading.
Matt.
So I get asked a lot of questions about filters, how they work, what to get, why this does that. So heres my run down on filters...
Theres two main types of filter: Screw-ins and Slot-ins.
Most of you will be familiar with the screw-in type, as I hope you all have UV/Skylight filters on the front of your lenses! [Cheaper to replace one of them than a whole lens, remember]
The slot-in is a more exotic type.
You can get most types of filter in both screw in and slot in, but if you have a variety of lenses with different filter ring sizes, buying one filter of each size can become costly rapidly.
I favour the slot-in type. I have screw in UV filters on all my lenses, but ontop of that I always have a slot-in filter holders attachment ring.
Slot-in filters seem [very] costly to begin with, and sometimes rather complicated. But you need to weigh up the price of the initial start up cost and filters, versus buying the same filter for each of your lenses.
So I've been inundated with requests for a video or tutorial on exposure blending. I've literally been asked by like, three people.
As my full on exposure blending tutorial is still a ways away from being finished, I thought I'd do a quick and dirty video tutorial and basic write up on how I exposure blend.
So, here it is... [best viewed in HD].
Like I said, quick and dirty.
If you want a more detailed explanation of the process, hit the Read More button, if not, go about your business.
Whats up photography people?
Sorry about the lack of updates recently, busy busy busy bee.
Okay, the title says it all.
I'm looking to do more tutorials and write ups for the site. Instead of just going other things I reckon are useful, I wanna hear what you guys wanna know.
Drop me an email through the site or leave a comment at the bottom of this and tell me what you wanna learn about.
I can cover...
With the technique and post production stuff I'll try to do videos for as well, either screen captures of what I do in Lightroom and Photoshop, or videos of me faffing about with the camera whilst shooting.
If theres anything at all you wanna learn, don't hesitate to ask.
Theres no such thing as a stupid question, only stupid answers, and I'll try my best not to give those.
Get in touch!
TTFN,
Matt.
