Thank you Paul! Means a lot. Trying to jump back into being consistent🙌🏼
Another great video Matt! There was a lot of great info. One thing I haven't done is take a photo with the lightroom app, I've just used it for post processing...I'd love to learn more about the app and using it compared to just enhancing a shot already taken.

Nice! Thanks so much! Glad you liked it. Yes, the final part will be “editing on phone” but that will also revisiting taking photos with the Lightroom app. Hopefully it will help.
Very useful info and will help sharpen techniques that will produce quality work!

Great video! I don't have a camera so I use my phone to take pictures of my toys (I love it) but my biggest problem is when there are several objects (figures). It's very difficult to focus all of them. Usually there's only one of two focused and the rest are blurred and I can't find a way to fix this

Thank you! I’ve definitely had that problem too. Because there is no “true control” over the aperture on most phones, whatever is in focus, you have to imagine a line going parallel with the angle of your phone. So if you’re taking a picture of five figures lined up and focused on the one in the center, depending on your phone lens and distance from the figures, the only way to get them all in perfect focus is to line them up shoulder to shoulder. If some are closer or farther from the center figure, they will most likely be out of focus. A way to solve this and have everyone in the frame in focus, is to focus stack. I have a video on this from last year covering “perfect focus”. Basically you’re focusing on each figure and taking a picture. So for five figures, you take five pictures and then blend them together. Not sure if that helps through text. Let me know if you can’t find the video.

@@amusingking "Ultimate focus" is the video. I've just watched it and yes, you're right, it's exactly what I need. You're a genius!!!! Thank you so much!!!!
Just to add to using a timer or trigger, I just got a new Samsung 24 ultra, and when you say key words like "smile" or "say cheese" it snaps the photo.

Hi I'm currently stumbled on a problem. I took a picture and it looks perfect on my phone but it looks dark on other people's phone. Hope you reply thank you so much

Hmmm. Not sure exactly but some problems I’ve seen might be with yours or others having the “true tone” or “nighttime” mode turned on. That will change colors of screen and can affect brightness depending on light. Or maybe your phone brightness is set too high compared to others? Or maybe the way you shared it? Are you viewing the photo on others phones through Instagram? Maybe try sending it directly to see if it’s the same or not. Sorry if these don’t help. Just trying to think through what I would try if it happened to me.
Usually the fingerprints on my phone are from my son 😂

lol yup! I can definitely relate to that 😂
Some of these features on my lightroom app are not available. Are some of them only available with premium? Do you have premium?

I do. But I thought the premium only added the option to edit Raw photos. Which features are not available? Dang, going to try it on another device. My bad if that’s the case
