90
00:06:44,430 --> 00:06:48,080
notice under 90 degree angle to what
you're shooting you can get yourself
91
00:06:48,080 --> 00:06:51,550
into some trouble because I see it all
the time we get that pull that circular
92
00:06:51,550 --> 00:06:55,360
polarizer on never have your sunglasses
on in like you turn your head and you
93
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:59,860
can you guys don't you do it she's
looking at me like I don't know I don't
94
00:06:59,860 --> 00:07:03,950
turn my head that's number one it's a
good way to figure out if your polarizer
95
00:07:03,950 --> 00:07:06,560
will work if you're wearing sunglasses
and just kinda
96
00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:14,220
head back and forth but what happens is
is returned that polarizer because we're
97
00:07:14,220 --> 00:07:18,290
cool I'll hit me in the sky really dark
and you take the photo and it actually
98
00:07:18,290 --> 00:07:22,880
looks artificial so when you get into
trouble I use my polarizer more in these
99
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,100
situations is to me what a polarizer
really helps with its cutting down
100
00:07:27,100 --> 00:07:31,370
reflections you can't do that in
Photoshop if there is a reflection on
101
00:07:31,370 --> 00:07:38,140
leaves in water machine on iraq that
sometimes is is almost overpowering if
102
00:07:38,140 --> 00:07:41,230
there's reflections you're not gonna be
able to take that down in Photoshop or
103
00:07:41,230 --> 00:07:45,280
Lightroom your polarizes will help cut
through those reflections so they go
104
00:07:45,280 --> 00:07:51,170
polarizer for this and then there's no
water everything's flat forget about the
105
00:07:51,170 --> 00:07:54,620
bracketing stuff you're not shooting
water but you know you just gotta start
106
00:07:54,620 --> 00:07:57,910
shooting them out whatever forget about
black thing because it's so flat you
107
00:07:57,910 --> 00:08:02,010
don't have a dynamic range that you're
going to need any type of bracketing
108
00:08:02,010 --> 00:08:09,180
with it so let's look at what was
supposed to do another backlit photo
109
00:08:09,180 --> 00:08:13,090
this was an easy way out there I'll do
it really quick this is the backlit one
110
00:08:13,090 --> 00:08:15,610
shadows
111
00:08:15,610 --> 00:08:22,930
wait which the Sun should be white so
don't ever try to pull that back so it's
112
00:08:22,930 --> 00:08:27,300
not it's ok to make the subway and then
blacks the other way to get a couple
113
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:34,020
little black spots and I see this a lot
so I'm glad I came back up to this I see
114
00:08:34,020 --> 00:08:37,130
a lot of times when people shooting to
the sunday take the highlights lighter
115
00:08:37,130 --> 00:08:43,210
and they cranked it down and what
happens is that you get this little ball
116
00:08:43,210 --> 00:08:48,430
back a little bit but their ego
117
00:08:48,430 --> 00:08:54,170
the Sun kind of compresses down into
this little box it looked very very
118
00:08:54,170 --> 00:08:59,210
artificial the sky's gonna start to look
artificial you don't have to do that
119
00:08:59,210 --> 00:09:03,940
it's OK for the Sun and even the clouds
and everything around it to be white ok
120
00:09:03,940 --> 00:09:07,870
so it is white so we don't have to make
that go away
121
00:09:07,870 --> 00:09:15,640
diffused so what kinds of things do i do
well we got a little bit like the Sun
122
00:09:15,640 --> 00:09:18,770
was poking out and back so I can kind of
tone down the highlights a little bit
123
00:09:18,770 --> 00:09:28,709
bring out my exposure board could not
too much not too much that we can do
124
00:09:28,709 --> 00:09:32,290
contrast contrast is going to be your
friends with these photos because you
125
00:09:32,290 --> 00:09:36,800
remembered her flat but not very much
directional a so contrast and how do we
126
00:09:36,800 --> 00:09:46,860
get that whites option All Blacks option
or or click and some clarity warming up
127
00:09:46,860 --> 00:09:56,660
a little bit and just for grins what
photocase of India
128
00:09:56,660 --> 00:10:06,339
take a look that's before that after
four after so I shadow enhancement by
129
00:10:06,339 --> 00:10:09,540
contrast is really going to be your
friend there because that's what you
130
00:10:09,540 --> 00:10:13,259
were the the scene was usually lacking
to begin with
131
00:10:13,259 --> 00:10:19,709
okay jim got any questions I was just
looking and I'll just throw one out for
132
00:10:19,709 --> 00:10:24,699
myself when you're doing video chatting
to you mostly used on darker photos or
133
00:10:24,699 --> 00:10:28,870
do you sit on my sometimes I'm with
brighter photos it looks a little
134
00:10:28,870 --> 00:10:34,009
awkward at absolutely so great question
cuz I typically don't use an umbrella
135
00:10:34,009 --> 00:10:38,089
photo specialist lots of great stuff on
the edges because it will it'll look
136
00:10:38,089 --> 00:10:45,699
like somethings darkened great and
Michael Green would like to know what
137
00:10:45,699 --> 00:10:50,000
different times of the year make a huge
difference have you ever going back to
138
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,649
the same location based on the season
139
00:10:52,649 --> 00:10:59,569
absolutely absolutely so thank you can
think I think of a couple of different
140
00:10:59,569 --> 00:11:05,970
things obviously fall colors colors make
a big big impact on things so I love you
141
00:11:05,970 --> 00:11:08,750
know whenever I got to Portland I love
to go out there and shoot the waterfalls
142
00:11:08,750 --> 00:11:14,100
and there are very different looking
waterfall in the fall then they are in
143
00:11:14,100 --> 00:11:19,579
March April May whatever happens to be
so your number of number one you'll get
144
00:11:19,579 --> 00:11:24,449
a lot of fall colors and things number
two you know it's like the magic happens
145
00:11:24,449 --> 00:11:30,949
and that one yellow leaf falls down onto
the rock or you put it there that one
146
00:11:30,949 --> 00:11:34,360
lol the falls down onto the rocks that's
in front and you set that up as the
147
00:11:34,360 --> 00:11:38,850
foreground as sweeps back and the
waterfall so really different photos
148
00:11:38,850 --> 00:11:42,769
based on the different season and then
your son is going to be at all different
149
00:11:42,769 --> 00:11:46,570
points and very different shots that way
to Tucson
150
00:11:46,570 --> 00:11:52,300
here can be a great fantastic and trees
that would like to know can you explain
151
00:11:52,300 --> 00:11:55,980
a little bit of the difference between
pushing the whites and pushing pushing
152
00:11:55,980 --> 00:12:00,510
up the whites and pushing down the
blacks as opposed to just doing contrast
153
00:12:00,510 --> 00:12:03,870
is there something different happening
there
154
00:12:03,870 --> 00:12:09,310
contrast does something very similar
offer me I used the white and the blacks
155
00:12:09,310 --> 00:12:13,020
because you're actually attacking the
way to attacking the blacks were
156
00:12:13,020 --> 00:12:16,940
contrast is like it's just gonna do the
whites and blacks and you don't really
157
00:12:16,940 --> 00:12:20,520
get much control with it so I can be a
little bit more fine-tuned I can look at
158
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:24,640
the photo as I moved the whites and
maybe a look at it he saw one earlier I
159
00:12:24,640 --> 00:12:28,350
was like wow I got to that point where I
saw the specs but then when I look back
160
00:12:28,350 --> 00:12:32,890
at the photo it just felt too bright to
pull it back it's it's close to a
161
00:12:32,890 --> 00:12:34,350
formula but it's not exactly
