Im a freelance landscape photographer who also likes to process his photos. On my channel I show you tutorials about some of my post processing techniques and from time to time I take you behind the scenes of my landscape photography shoots. I'm constantly trying to improve, so I hope my tutorials will get better and better with time.

    Hi! Great information I subbed! You mention vignetting when using 15mm and stacking filters, what does the vignetting look like and cant it just be corrected in a photo editor? I honestly would prefer to leave the Kase filter adapter on the 15-35mm so I was considering the 82mm lens but I'm concerned now.

    Before printing should I save the picture in the icc color profile or what? I don’t understand the next step when the soft proof is done

    -> www.mibreit-photo.com/tutorials/how-to-print-photos.html#converting-the-color-space The ICC you use during soft proofing is just for simulating colors and paper and for adjusting the image to compensate for it. You still remain in your editing color space - ProPhoto or AdobeRGB - at this stage. At the end, you convert the color space to what your printer / lab can handle. I describe the considerations in the article I link above.

    about this small border on the print: assume I order a 40x60 print - do you order 42x62 from Whitewall to get that 1cm? Or is the printed area reduced to 38x58cm instead? The latter would mean that you have to have a slightly bigger passepartout, like 5.5cm borders at least, for a 70x50cm frame, correct?

    The new Kase “R-MCUV” filter has a coating that eliminates ghost refections as well as glare and flare. Do you think the image quality of this filter would be the same as the regular MCUV filter?

    I didn't notice differences to the MCVU version II. I don't think they really reduce ghosting vs shooting without a filter. But they don't introduce any additional artifact - a problem of cheap filters.

    Loved this video, bro… I am a landscape and cityscape photographer, but only working with wide and mid range (up to 100mm), and I want to put a tele in my kit, but I have zero knowledge above 100mm. I’m thinking about getting a sigma 150-600 contemporary (to also try some moon alignments) but I wonder if it’s “overkill”, or too much… big, heavy, etc Do you see yourself using a focal length more than other? Do you feel the need of having more than 400mm? Since I don’t have much experience I’m thinking on the 150-600 not only because it’s versatility but also the price point (around 900u$)… or I could get a sigma 100-400 or even the 70-200, from sigma or the canon f4 (but feeling that it may be too short)… What do you think? PS. I should add that I have an original R (full frame) and the lenses are 16-35, 24-70 and 100mm… so when I travel I would leave the 100 at home, most probably…

    For Woodland it's all about speed when taking the sequence - I usually do automatic focus braketing. Only for the Background I use exposure brakets because there I often need it. The retouching is fine and If it doesnt work because of movement, I can usually cope with some blown Highlights in a Woodland photo. Alternative is having very different frames (because of movement) for the complete Image, If I were to focus manually throughout.

  • @mibreit-photo
    @mibreit-photo3 ай бұрын

    You won't get vignetting for most lenses. The inlay ring allows you to make all your lenses magnetic at the front and you don't even notice. Every lens where you apply this ring can take magnetic filters. But, as I explain in the video, the use for me is limited. I have lenses with different sizes and I need step up rings. Also, for the 15mm lens I need a bigger filter to avoid vignetting. That's why I don't use the inlay. But for some people it might be fine. cheers

  • @mibreit-photo

    Normally the I-1 should do correct calibrations. Did you also measure the result? Are the deltas low enough? If not, it could mean that the calibration wasn't working properly. Also, what system and monitor do you use? Could it be that there's a limitation. From my experience, factory settings for many LCDs are too cool, so once you first calibrate, they will appear very warm to your eyes. Always compare to some reference prints that you view under daylight - but I'm sure that's what you did. Alternatively: You can always use a cooler setting and again compare it to a reference sheet of paper to get it right for your own needs. But normally the D65 should give good-enough results.
