In this location photoshoot, I explore exposure blending against HDR merging. I show you my camera exposure techniques and compare Lightroom HDR with Photoshop layers and masking to create stunning sunset images!

    I laughed when you said a few adjustments to the image, that amount of editing would take me an hour to do at least, merely because I would have to stop and start the video so many times 😂😂, i would be great to get a slightly slowed down version of a tutorial like this for us newbies to the editing game, but excellent work non the less

I have to say that came out gorgeous - if i may say so though, I actually absolutely love the look of it when you cropped in at 9:36 - still great DOF and the boats highest points seem perfectly on thirds. . .

    The 50mm is so underrated yet powerful lens. I forked out a fortune for my 24-70 but still tend to bring only my 50 with me most of the time. As women say size doesn't matter unless it's small and the 50 is just small enough to carry it all day 😂

    Using HDR is simplier in the field. Once HDR is merged, you have all the info to produce your desirable landscape.

    You should be on the stage with this show boss, that was mind blowing. I thought I was getting my head round PS then this happens. I love the way you compare merge with this. Lucky for you I am going to have to watch this video many many times. While I am at it, your videos are also very clever, I imagine there is a lot of planning to get that many angles, or do you have a film crew?
