1:58 is so HDR... correct me if i'm wrong

[MichaelTheMentor]

@waryu69 It definitely looks HDR, but I just used a pre-set called "Paintballer Pro" which I created to give HDR look, without all the HDR work. Its available on my blog for purchase. Thanks

Yes

Hi Michael

I don't understand why you don't look blurry on the exercise 3 - painting with light II. When you were walking and pointing at the camera with your flashlight, i thought there was only 2 possible outcomes. 1 either you only see the flashlight trail or 2. the flashlight trail and a ghost like figure of your body. Could you please explain why you don't look blurry as you were moving during a long exposure?

cheers

I used a flash on the camera at the end on the exposure, its called Second Curtain Shutter Flash. I have a video coming on this. :)

Great tips and advise! I bought your dvd and it was awesome for a beginner like me. One question. Do I have to make the "Yay" sound when done? =p Keep up the great work!
