Quick HDR Landscape Tutorial

[jaredjds2011]

I set my metering mode to spot, now when I look through the viewfinder I don't see a box. Should all DSLRS have it?

[PhotoExtremist]

@jaredjds2011 There is a setting where it turns off the box and just focuses on the closest subject to the lens - make sure that is off.

[Thaqib]

What mode do you use when you shoot that two image? Is it in manual mode?

[PhotoExtremist]

@Thaqib aperture mode

[Thaqib]

@PhotoExtremist thanks

5:05 kill it to death..........you dont sayy

[danTES8011]

I have a stack of Auto Exposure Bracket photos that look like crap when I run them through the CS5 HDR script. I'm going to give this faux-ND Grad thing a shot...

[Peete991]

i tarmit vuah khi cu a nalh lo.....

[Thaqib]

Fantastic techniques of HDR you got there bro!

[picaticatara]

this is a far more tedious way to do it. three bracketed ev raw shots combined in the cs5 plugin gives better quality and more variables for composition

[AshleyAlvares]

Awesome. Thanks.

[R0ckR2]

cs5 has a hdr merging automation

[maylin1986]

Haha! Skuzz.  C:

[dabigjokeoftheday]

YOU KNOW THERE IS A BUTTON ON THE CAMERA TO DO IT FOR YOU RIGHT.......

[cupiiid]

How do i add a layer that has a picture while i got the background layer also ? Sorry for stupid question im new at this. Would be thankful for answer

[PhotoExtremist]

@cupiiid drag and drop the file into photoshop, and then if you need to, copy and paste

[cupiiid]

@PhotoExtremist

Thank you very much!

[cupiiid]

Thank you for this tutorial!

[stanglova86]

how in the world do that focusing part?? i cant seem to find a way to do that to focus on the clouds what settings?

[smokejc]

Very helpful, thanks!

[GorgingonGuts]

This is a helpful tutorial for a quick HDR, but.....how do you have your camera set? Automatic or manual? Shutter speed & aperture? Thanks, bro!

[PhotoExtremist]

@GorgingonGuts Use Aperture Priority mode and then the camera will automatically adjust the shutter speed to where the box is accordingly

CLEAN YOUR VIEWFINDER. IT GIVES ME THE HEEBEEJEEBEEZ

[quatermile79]

im using photoshop 7.0 and i tried following your steps but i cant select both layers it wont allow me to align the two photos also when you use the brush to bring out more of the sky i can get that either it paints the photo black need help

[PhotoExtremist]

@quatermile79 I'm using CS5, not all the features in CS5 are available in older version of PS. Make sure the layer mask is selected and not the layer when you paint with the black paint brush

[DocLee24]

what is your setting for your camera?



[cuttermorning33]

Great tutorial on improving your landscapes and he didn't try to sell any software old-school school you can do it yourself would highly recommend watching this tutorial thanks for your help . Keep up the good work thanks dude

[izakhandley]

hey i was just wondering do you use photoshop cs1 or?



[dogmanPINOY]

I got canon 60d and new on photography world, just wanna ask how did you make it dark and bright? What are the settings that you use? It would be a big help if learnd it from you... Thanks in advance!

[lokingloking]

compliments!

[yani27july1991]

OMG you are so talented and your ideas are unique,i actually need to log in just to sub,pls make more tutorials=))

[photographybyjef]

Nice tutorial. Very simple solution.

[marcuelcajon]

Easy to follow, nice tutorial.

[pcfreak1992]

I don't know which Photoshop version implemented this feature but Photoshop already has its own HDR option where you can select the different exposures und Photoshop will mask it out on its own..

[PhotoExtremist]

@pcfreak1992 Are you talking about the "Merge to HDR Pro" feature in CS5?

[pcfreak1992]

@PhotoExtremist yes that's what it's called.. but was it really CS5 when they implemented it?

[PhotoExtremist]

@pcfreak1992 Yes, I beileve so.

[Tunequarter]

@PhotoExtremist I actually have it in my cs4...:)

[QuarterCrawl]

great vid thanx! got to get photoshop!

[nate42nd]

Good vid. I hear there is a plug-in for Lightroom 3. I need to find out how to do it without PS. I don't have it (yet) and don't even want to go there. I could "download" it.....I want some other software options if you know of any. Thanks

[PhotoExtremist]

@nate42nd GIMP!

[nate42nd]

@PhotoExtremist Thanks. Never thought of Gimp. I already have Paint.net. That will probably do it too. Thanks again.

[MrLambchops21]

can you do more videos that are just tutorials for photography ;)

thanks

[PhotoExtremist]

@MrLambchops21 I like doing both.

[MrLambchops21]

thanks for the tutorial again ;)

[MrLambchops21]

you got braces ????

[PhotoExtremist]

@MrLambchops21 I got braces! They are coming off in about 2 months.

[luckviewer777]

hey i just bought my manfrotto tripod

this is my first tripod WOOO!!!!

[Laqoqos]

Thanks :)

[johanneswingerlang]

I think this was an excellent video, as usual. Not superb shot, but it got waaay better after the very fast edit. Great job :)

[marriyumtariq]

Oh my God! :O This is soo epic!

[GraphicalMadnessGFX]

this is just an idea, but i think you should upload your images to the description so people can follow it exactly cause im very new to photography and im saving up for my first camera so i cant yet to landscape shots like this, but i still lke the outcome, so i wouldnt mind being able to do the same thing you just did on the same image...

[PhotoExtremist]

@GraphicalMadnessGFX That's a good idea, I just uploaded them to the blog post on the main site.

[GraphicalMadnessGFX]

@PhotoExtremist wow, no offence but i didt really think you would reply let alone this fast, but cheers, im new to photography im saving up for a canon eos 1000d and im like a 1/3 of the way to the actual price

[krqkan]

perfection at its best :D

[MrWp97]

[KevinYeahBoi]
