00:00:11,150 --> 00:00:17,020
I love photographing waterfalls there's
something just so serene about watching
2
00:00:17,020 --> 00:00:22,329
the water cascade across a cliff and I
see how it affects the rocks and
3
00:00:22,329 --> 00:00:26,180
everything below and a mossy green that
you can see in the area where I lived in
4
00:00:26,180 --> 00:00:29,980
the pacific northwest they were so many
waterfalls and I got to see a bunch of
5
00:00:29,980 --> 00:00:32,589
them and this one in particular
6
00:00:32,589 --> 00:00:37,470
Steve Creek Falls was right off of the
road it's really easy to find because it
7
00:00:37,470 --> 00:00:42,050
was right off of the road literally
there weren't a lot of opportunities to
8
00:00:42,050 --> 00:00:48,089
photograph the entire thing I'm actually
standing on a bridge that takes you over
9
00:00:48,089 --> 00:00:53,110
to the waterfall or you know where you
can park for the waterfall and I'm
10
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:59,379
photographing news little shots right
here this is probably one of the best
11
00:00:59,379 --> 00:01:04,989
actual photos of the waterfall itself I
didn't go to wine too much stuff around
12
00:01:04,989 --> 00:01:08,470
and if you see appear in the corner
there's like these sticks that are kind
13
00:01:08,470 --> 00:01:12,000
of flailing around and those kinds of
things you don't really want to shot
14
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:16,580
when you're doing this thing so I
decided to walk around and walk to the
15
00:01:16,580 --> 00:01:22,790
other side of the road to find some
other small details of the water in the
16
00:01:22,790 --> 00:01:26,659
runoff water from this wonderful and one
of the really cool things about this
17
00:01:26,659 --> 00:01:31,940
waterfall was the Blue Earth like this
bright blue water coming from below and
18
00:01:31,940 --> 00:01:36,000
not sure what was causing it but it was
absolutely gorgeous so I found this
19
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,390
series of rocks and I kind of played
around with a few of the different
20
00:01:40,390 --> 00:01:43,630
compositions know the initial when you
can see why I didn't really notice the
21
00:01:43,630 --> 00:01:46,810
stick in the way and sometimes you don't
catch these things until it's too late
22
00:01:46,810 --> 00:01:50,820
there are also a lot of little sticks
over here on the left and so I think I
23
00:01:50,820 --> 00:01:56,640
saw a little bit better once I got a
clear shot of my long exposure so I
24
00:01:56,640 --> 00:01:59,700
moved in a little bit closer I found
that I really like this composition
25
00:01:59,700 --> 00:02:04,780
better but one thing I didn't like about
it was that these two rocks right here
26
00:02:04,780 --> 00:02:09,670
were touching me we're actually touching
but in my frame their overlapping and I
27
00:02:09,670 --> 00:02:14,480
only like to do that if at all possible
I'd like to keep things separated so I
28
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:20,500
moved over just a little bit and I got
this scene and this
29
00:02:20,500 --> 00:02:26,110
is the frame that I absolutely loved
from all of these shots so this is the
30
00:02:26,110 --> 00:02:31,250
shorter exposure it's only one-sixth of
a second whereas this is one hundred and
31
00:02:31,250 --> 00:02:35,390
seventy-one seconds I used in India
filter and very likely but then stopped
32
00:02:35,390 --> 00:02:39,770
and you to really cut down the light and
allow me to blur the water and have a
33
00:02:39,770 --> 00:02:43,820
very long shutter speed so I'm gonna go
ahead and jump into the development of
34
00:02:43,820 --> 00:02:48,450
this image and we'll see what we can do
I'm gonna cloudy to get over to the
35
00:02:48,450 --> 00:02:53,600
developmental in a start of a top all
start in the basic panel first I'm going
36
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:58,500
to my temperature warmed up a little bit
it seems a little too cool for my taste
37
00:02:58,500 --> 00:03:04,440
and that was really really subtle
adjustments do a quick before and after
38
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:08,250
of that and some really really subtle
adjustments gonna play around with my
39
00:03:08,250 --> 00:03:12,360
exposure bring that up quite a bit dark
sometimes when you're photographing
40
00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:14,080
longexposure
41
00:03:14,080 --> 00:03:18,280
seen you know you want to get it as
bright as possible without blowing any
42
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:23,440
other whites and you know making them
pure white and losing detail in them but
43
00:03:23,440 --> 00:03:27,690
you also can't anticipate for the light
changes if you're doing a two or three
44
00:03:27,690 --> 00:03:31,250
minute exposure sometimes late changes
and if the light fades away your
45
00:03:31,250 --> 00:03:34,390
photograph will be a little under
exposed so often times I have to
46
00:03:34,390 --> 00:03:39,739
compensate for that inside of Lightroom
I'm also going to play around with my
47
00:03:39,739 --> 00:03:47,690
contrasts any highlights its gonna do
they wanted and how it actually kinda
48
00:03:47,690 --> 00:03:51,700
like my highlights being kind of break
I'm gonna toggle
49
00:03:51,700 --> 00:03:58,060
J to toggle my clipping notifications
and I don't have anything left right now
50
00:03:58,060 --> 00:04:01,910
you can see the histogram nothing is
butting up against that right
51
00:04:01,910 --> 00:04:06,019
really that left so i'm good right now
but I'll keep out active just in case I
52
00:04:06,019 --> 00:04:10,750
push something a little too far down the
road I'm gonna go ahead in deep in the
53
00:04:10,750 --> 00:04:16,419
shadows little bit again I'm gonna
increase the whites now if I don't go
54
00:04:16,419 --> 00:04:20,470
too far as you can see if I push those
whites too far then it starts to clip
55
00:04:20,470 --> 00:04:25,840
them so I really just want to push I'm
just a little bit just a little far and
56
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:26,790
I'm going to
57
00:04:26,790 --> 00:04:32,130
to bring us blackstone can make it a
little bit more contrast you also some
58
00:04:32,130 --> 00:04:37,270
vibrance not too much though you know if
I push it too far it's a little neon and
59
00:04:37,270 --> 00:04:45,120
grow so I'll bring it to maybe thirty
five or so I'm gonna bring my situation
60
00:04:45,120 --> 00:04:51,070
down I can push my Vibrant ok I'm gonna
do a quick toggle on and click that
61
00:04:51,070 --> 00:04:57,620
backslash key to toggle the before me
after a nice change is happening now I'm
62
00:04:57,620 --> 00:05:01,070
going to have a little bit more contrast
with the tone curve I'm not really gonna
63
00:05:01,070 --> 00:05:05,410
do much other than just change the .
curve to me in contrast a nice little
64
00:05:05,410 --> 00:05:09,800
pop you know deepens those black so I
really like doing that manages an exxon
65
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:15,390
going to split toning and have a little
fun with this I'm going to do a more
66
00:05:15,390 --> 00:05:27,090
highlights 30 or so funny right now
doesn't it but it'll change seems like a
67
00:05:27,090 --> 00:05:39,880
cool shadow which occupied there but I
think I'm gonna play one of my balance
68
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:45,990
that's gonna do alright so the balance
is really just gonna say if I push it to
69
00:05:45,990 --> 00:05:49,920
the left it's going to increase those
shadows you have more shadow effect that
70
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:51,760
highlight effect push it to the right
71
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:56,690
vice versa so I'm gonna push it to the
left a little bit talking back and forth
72
00:05:56,690 --> 00:05:59,790
soon going on i think i like it
73
00:05:59,790 --> 00:06:03,760
I'm gonna go with this and I'm actually
gonna take this into Photoshop to do
74
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:07,760
some finishing touches on the summit to
go to come and eat and it's gonna pop
75
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,400
open inside of Photoshop
76
00:06:12,400 --> 00:06:17,430
the first half to just can't make it
full screen I was like to work with out
77
00:06:17,430 --> 00:06:20,480
seeing through to the background I was
kinda like to have a little bit of
78
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,020
minimalistic approach and focus in a
distracted really easily so it's good
79
00:06:25,020 --> 00:06:28,910
for me to do that first thing you need
to do is coming out this week you
80
00:06:28,910 --> 00:06:34,580
looking stick over here to the Lightroom
but that seems like a little too
81
00:06:34,580 --> 00:06:38,500
complicated for Lightroom so I'm gonna
go ahead and working in Photoshop I
82
00:06:38,500 --> 00:06:39,540
added a brand new
