Thank you for doing this. It was extremely helpful to me!!

You should look into shooting with a fluid head. This type of head requires a leveling base, but once you get it level, it's so much easier to fine tune your composition. A ball head on it's own feels lacking after using a fluid head. Love that little bit of advice about walking away. I think after editing a photo for so long, you get caught up in the all the little details that you sometimes fail to see how they affect the entire image as a whole.

Congratulations for your Live. First time i see a photographer doing live editing. Thank you very much for your time. 🤗🤗🤗👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent! Very relaxing to watch with a couple of beers and absorbing the inspiration. Excellent work my friend.

Michael on Good Friday: "Hey everyone, hope you're having a good Friday"

Michael- this was great! Didn’t get to watch live but after the fact was still fabulous. Love watching you process.

Also, love the content on this channel! Inspiring.

Michael I really appreciated the time you spent doing the processing and explained each step of the way. The Q & A was very interesting too. Thx

Excellent video. Sincere and open altitude in answering every questions. THANK YOU. Even it's the 1st one, it is well plan and executed. Bravo.

Nice shot! We had a stream of the V shaped red sky for a while this fall/winter. So happy you were in your nice position....I was south of the potholes that night...just down the beach and really missed the popcorn sky with this pattern....I remember this sky so well, I was frustrated with myself.....your south side is clear......congratulations. Thank you for the live! Terry

This was a great session, thanks Michael! Really appreciated all the insight and it was just very well done as are all your vlogs. I would love to see night photography as a topic for one of the next sessions...that would be great. Thanks again

Great live stream! I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for more!

Love it. Thanks for posting!! 💜

Thanks Michael! These vids you have been doing lately have been super helpful. keep up the good work. You know what they say give give give then ask! I am sold.

Great video, really enjoyed it being live! :)

Really enjoyed your live stream , great content thanks so much

wow, Michael. thanks for pointing out these beautiful locations. i live in san diego, so can shoot at la jolla easily. and i'm from marin county, where i've shot a lot, i had no idea such great opportunities existed in northwest san francisco.

Enjoyed your firs live video. I would like to see one dedicated to time lapse.

Michael - Great live stream!

This gave so much insight into how you edit your photos. I just wanted to ask how you edit your photos when you are on trips? Do you edit on a powerful laptop or do you come home and then process them? Again, a great live stream! Really enjoyed it!

I'd love to see more posts on KZread about camera profiles as it seems its the most important choice for starting editing. I'm trying to understand exactly what the profiles are doing as far as what colors are being saturated, etc.. I'm trying to figure it out lately. Can tell a little just by looking at the photos, but still not sure on some exactly what's being done...

Hi Michael, You mentioned that you calibrate your BenQ monitor with the 'Spider" instrument. For what it's worth, BenQ has its own proprietary screen calibrator (Palette Master Element). They have gone to the trouble of making it for their monitors and might be a little more accurate. Also, I noticed that you use Adobe Color as your go-to color profile. By using ColorChecker Camera Calibration you can create a color profile for your camera's sensor, which you choose as your color profile ( Nikon D850) instead of Adobe Color. Just as you first begin by choosing your adjustment for chromatic aberrations and lens-specific distortions, you should choose the color profile of your camera sensor. Check it out!

Timelapses are a great topic for next time

lots of ❣️

All good!

Next time expect: From a normal photo shot at sunny noon (which is very bad time for landscape photography) to a stunning photo.

Thank you Mr Shainblum, cracking video. Unfortunately I couldn’t watch it live as I was in the Uk and I don’t think it started until gone 11.00 at night and I had a early start. Interesting to hear that your changing camera systems. I’m doing the same, I’ve just sold my canon dslr and was thinking of going down the Nikon z route. Any thoughts on the z system? What are you thinking of doing, are you leaving Nikon for something else? Anyhow I really got a lot out of your processing in this live stream, it made me think differently about how and where I process my images. Basically keeping it simple is key and you don’t have to complicate things in photoshop too much. I’m really looking forward to other live streams 👍 Thank you

Loved this blog Michael. One quick thing. Can you put the video pic of you in the bottom left please. This would help us see what you’re clicking on in the top left panel of photoshop. Thank you.

exporting photo in srgb but still looks weird could be the display mode for the monitor is in ARGB. And for the consistency the monitor should also be set in srgb😉

Dumb question but I see that others can see the setting adjustments they make before taking a picture affect their live display screen. I can't figure out how to do that on mine. When I make a setting adjustment, it doesn't affect the live view and I only see the effects when reviewing the photo after taking it. I'm using a Nikon D7200.

Michael, how good is sigma 100-400 lens pls? I'm just thinking of 200-600 sony if would worth to have it for landscape photography.... for wildlife i have prime lenses anyway. Many Tks!

Hi, When you capture the photo in Nikon Camera what picture profile do you use?

Bummer I missed it Darn

Did you use a GND when shooting that day?

Hey mate, I have been struggling with deciding whether or not to buy a nd grad, or is it fine to expose for the sky and raise the exposure of the fore ground. Nd grads are a pain when you have elements that break the horizon line.

I personally do not use ND Grads, I find them to be more trouble then they are worth. But that's just personal preference.

Cheers mate, I appreciate your reply, love the content you put out. I'm from a small town from Queanbeyan in Australia.

I think with the large amount of detail in the clouds in conjunction with their movement between frames, it threw Photoshop off when aligning. This isn't a typical sunset and I've never seen Photoshop skew a layer in such a way to achieve alignment. Awesome photo though man.

Hey thanks! I think next live stream I am going to do a rough run through of the image either way so I am not troubleshooting live, but hopefully the manual technique will be helpful for some people. I do use the difference layer quite a bit. You are right about the clouds that's what probably did it, although lately after updating PS I have been noticing the align function has worked less and less for some of my images over the last year or so.

@@MichaelShainblum I've noticed the same thing with the stack function when focus stacking macro images. It seems to get tripped up more than it used to which is frustrating. I definitely didn't know about the difference blend mode when aligning manually, I always bring down opacity and it's definitely tricky. Thanks for the tips

The troubleshooting live was great for the viewer. Taught me a ton!

Michael, I was wondering the difficulty in autoaligning your two layers may be a result of one of them not having lens profile correction applied?

This is certainly more than I do. 😅 I usually just scroll through my presets and decide which one looks better on my picture.
