  Question for you... Did you have the camera set up on Continues L? I only ask because those 32 shots were taken so fast!

•

  No, the camera fires the entire sequence for you regardless of if you are in single shot or continuous. :-)

  Thanks Julian another informative video as always. With the focus shift you focus nearest to the camera, is that the same in pixel shift?

• 
  @jbairdexp15 күн бұрын

  Hi John, glad you found it informative :-) Focus shift deals with focus stacking (i.e. the camera takes a series of photos at different focus points) where as Pixel Shift takes the same photograph multiple times (including the same focus point) but moves the sensor to improve image quality and resolution.

  @rachelhusband989017 күн бұрын

  @@jbairdexp Thanks for your quick response. I used to do a lot of landscapes (long time Nikon user) and generally always stuck to f11, but since getting z8 a few months ago, I've not really done any landscapes as have been getting into bird photography, but am going out this afternoon as weather looks good to try to find the most fantastic poppy field so was really interested to know what aperture you use with the z8. I will try f13 (alongside f11) today and also focus shift as well. Then I also need to set up a separate photo bank for landscapes so I don't need to change so many settings all the time! Thanks again. Very helpful

  @rachelhusband989015 күн бұрын

  @@jbairdexp Hi yes I did thanks and I did use the focus shift. In landscape (depending on where you set it) it only takes about 4 to 5 images. It can take about 10 if set to one (though some of them seem irrelevant), but I set it at about 3 to 4. Got some good images, other than sky a bit bright on some. I normally bracket, but because i was focus shifting i forget to bracket. Doh! Though I can't see that you can do both at same time. So next time with landscape when I do focus shift, I will manually change exposure to 2 or 3 stops under exposed (or whatever I need) and then run focus shift again. IF that makes sense, so i have 2 sets or more if i need it. Also tried f13 which worked out well for single shots. But when I did focus shift i stuck stuck f8 or f11 as its taking multiple shots at different focal lengths for me so didn't need to go higher.

  Do you think these would be suitable for a potentially very wet and muddy festival coming up? Or stick to a classic wellie...

• 
  @jbairdexp20 күн бұрын

  It would very much depend on the depth of the mud (as these are short height wellies). What I would say is that I find Muck Boots in general fit the foot better than budget wellies, so you can walk much further in them in comfort and they are less likely to get stuck in the mud and your foot comes out.

  Great video and really like the idea of having the text to create a cohesive feel to the images. I was already a user of the spring back books and highly recommend them as a way of displaying images. I do have a question please - I've attempted to make my own template following your video but when I drag the image in it loses saturation and brightness both the template file and the image file are showing as RGB 16 Bit. Any ideas ?

• 
  @jbairdexp24 күн бұрын

  Great, glad the video was useful! I suspect the problem you are having is a colour space conflict between the template and your source file. Just make sure your template and the image are using the same colour space. If you create a new Photoshop file for the template, it is most likely in sRGB, but when you open an image from LR into PS, it opens as ProPhoto RGB. You need to convert the image in PS to match the template colour space of sRGB - kzread.info/dash/bejne/e4aM1JiPpbW_p6g.htmlsi=RNgHz2AW_ZxnPyam&t=1171 The reason I think it is this is because it's something I've experienced before when I forget to change the colour space. Hope that helps.
