Shoot right first time. We’re lucky to be shooting digital so we CAN be frivolous, but the art is getting it perfect first time, like you’d have to get the art right, shooting film.
I have subscribed to your videos, I’m a big fan of them.
u got my thumb dude…my raw is in cr2 format.. so sad
very good point about shooting perfect/JPEG. A good photographer is the one that does not depend on all these tools
Keep it up Boss!
@chasezen I did a green screen with big plans of awesome stuff but this is all could muster. =o) Awesome stuff will have to wait.
hey man! nice vid love your tips!, whats in your background and why does it moves?…
dont stare at the background ,,
Thanks for the video!!! It was very helpful!
Hey, thanks for the videos!! You are the man
Do you have any video that talk about getting the studio white background pure white and the Black true black?
Hey man, you should do a video about shooting with auto settings and shooting manual. 80 -90% of the time i shoot manual, and it has taught me a lot about how a camera works in terms of which shutter speed and f/ to use for what type of shot i’m going for. Due to trial and error i can confidently say i am a more knowledgble photographer. I like the feeling of having more control over how i shot and what i shoot depending on the situation of course. what’s your insight to this Fontana?
Peace
It took me about a minute and a half to realize the background was moving.
@kevpinney
you need to install a codec to see thumbnails on your computer. Since every camera manufacturer has it’s own format, you have to download it on the internet.
Thanks dude, good info. I have been struggling with the same thing, “JPEG or RAW” and I guess the thing is when I shoot RAW only, I don’t even get a preview and that is a bummer to have open up everyone just to see what it looks like. So, I have been shooting on RAW/JPEG setting. But again, more memory space. Just don’t know what to do. Take care.
i always thought RAW is the name of the WWE wrestling show on Monday nights…
As usual… SIMPLE and EASY to UNDERSTAND…
nice from samy’s to support you and future clients,
RAW doesn’t stand for anything. It’s not an acronym. Just like raw meat needs to be cooked before eating (for most people), and just like a building is built from raw materials etc. The digital data that is captured during exposure is in an uncooked raw format so to speak and needed to be manipulated to some extent to create the finished photo before being saved to another format…usually jpeg, but not always.
Super informative video dude! But whats with the psychedelic background?
@mohdjmk Its easier to learn when you are smiling =o)
awesome thanks for the info…
Great Info Rob! As usual
I just sent you an email to photomagic, with a HUGE question that I really need help with. Check it out please? Stay cool mate!
