I think this video is 2 years old at this point but I just found it and honestly, this is one of the best explanations of "simple" edits I have found anywhere! Thank you for this! I love how you went into detail about why you do what you do instead of just saying "I like to do this" and then do it. Also, that trick about changing the grid when cropping, amazing! I have been using Lightroom for YEARS and never knew you could do that!

This is the best feedback I’ve received in forever on KZread. Thanks so much and so glad it was helpful!!

I’ve been shooting college sports for the past 6 or so years and this is simply great. So valuable for people just getting started editing

WOW! Awesome video. Only just found you on KZread. I shoot mostly Rugby so looking forward to trying your suggestions.

Thanks for sharing Brett. I'm a beginner and just getting my foot into the sport photography and this tutorial will help me a lot! Thanks again! 👍👍👍

This is 2 years old at this point but this is the best simple edit video I've ever seen. Thank you for this!

Que aula, acho incrível como as fotos já vem "prontas" e mesmo assim o cara ainda a deixa muito melhor. Bom trabalho meu amigo.

This is definitely the most helpful video I’ve seen to date. Thank you.

Thank you....been doing sports photography for four years and just started using lightroom. This was helpful!!!

Thank you for this video. I've been shooting sports for years - for free - and weddings and other things professionally as well. I'm about to put together a sports portfolio and need to go back through my old stuff and re-edit; this video will help.

Great job Brett. Thanks for sharing.

This is GREAT! All that I needed to know as a refresher in one video. Your personality is so calming to my nerves. And, your voice sounded awesome - neat mini mic!

Love it

Seriously love the work man! You keep pushing out great content. Keep it up!!

Hi Brett, thank you for a great video, it really helped me with my hockey photo processing 👍

YOU DA MAN! Thank you so much for sharing this! I’ve been shooting my sons soccer games with my Canon M50 and this is perfect. I will give it a shot after his next game! Thanks again - Geoff

Thanks!! Didn't know I could/should hold the alt key while using sharpening slider. Thanks! I'll add that to my work flow.

Hey Brett. I really appreciate your video tutorials. My 60D bit the dust and I am enjoying my new R6. Have you ever shot a wrestling tournament with bright orange mats, orange uniforms and crappy crazy light? I am bringing my grey card for custom wb but I still have trouble with the color cast on their skin. Thanks again! Your tutorials on the focus and customization buttons are the best. Christy

Nice! I can definitely use this approach to the off-road race photography that I've been doing

Thanks for this interesting video. There is not much content about sports photography on KZread. I have pretty much the same approach except I am using DXO instead of Lightroom, especially for the noise reduction algorithm which is phenomenal. Keep up the good work ! Cheers from France.

I love this, I have used it for my college photos. I have a question. Do you know what kind of settings these nfl guys are using to get this desaturated type look

This video showed me how little I actually know about editing my football stuff lol I have never used light room so I was a little lost, but thats ok. I am not sure if we will even have sports again out my way. Even the NFL got kicked out of town. Still waiting for Canon to get some mirrorless stuff in stock. Thanks for sharing.

Very welcome! Hope this helps you test out lightroom and try something new. Call MPEX in Columbus Ohio. My salesperson there is Sonnie but they posted they had R5/R6 in stock the other day. Hopefully they still have some. (This is not sponsored, it’s just where I’ve bought mine and I really like dealing with them)

Loved this, just started shooting Moto events and the editing is way different

I custom tweak my sports photos and use “copy” in the Develop module if the next photo is from the same burst.

Yes. You can also grab the first one and then sync it to the others which is nice. Or grab a bunch and turn on auto sync and they will all sync up as you go

What lens do u use for the games & how many cameras??

@BrettCarlsen

2 жыл бұрын

A mixture. I use a 600mm and 300mm on two of my cameras then a wide angle on a third body.

What telephoto lens do you normally use when shooting football?

@BrettCarlsen

3 жыл бұрын

It changes. This year due to covid I’m exclusively using my 600mm f4 IS III with a combination of teleconverters as needed. Normally I use 600 on one body and 300 on the other. Of course I always have a wider setup around my neck too. Many people use a 400 2.8 or 200-400 f4 (with the TC built in). A bit subjective but you really need at least a 400 for good football pictures.
