you are very welcome, and glad to have you on board 😀

thank you James, I am happy to know you enjoyed the tutorial 😀

thank you 😀

thank you 😀

`good observation, however, there are a lot of trees just out of shot on the left which created shade, so this is a true image, but I could have added the reflection perhaps. Thanks for for the feedback 😀

You are very welcome Guus 😀

Hi Guus, I did not know that the option key when using the lasso tool turns it into a polygonal tool, many thanks for the tip !! 😀

@@jamiermathlin and the same other way around when using the Polygonal...

Hi Erik, Your description of my videos as a "Perfect Storm of sorts" related to my knowledge and delivery is incredibly flattering. It is my goal to combine insightful content with engaging storytelling, and it's heartening to know that this effort resonates with you. I appreciate your support and am grateful that you find both the information and the presentation valuable. Thank you for being a part of my journey and for your wonderfully encouraging feedback!

@@jamiermathlin Long ago, lost in the misty mists of times gone by; someone, whose name alas - albeit, is long forgotten now - but yet, still, even now, on this occasion bodes worthy of reference my quoting him (or her) said, apropos that: "One good turn deserves another." Not, to put too fine a point on it! As Charles Dickens did coin for us to use on occasional occasions in his novel, Bleak House - along with also therein "Take the measure of a man - person". Not necessarily word perfect quotes of either quote - be forewarned.

@@erik1836 Thank you for your thoughtful and eloquent comment! The wisdom in "One good turn deserves another" is timeless and a reminder of the importance of kindness and reciprocity. And yes, Charles Dickens' insights from Bleak House offer rich reflections on human character and relationships. Your reference to these quotes adds depth to the discussion here on the channel. If you have any more thoughts or favorite quotes, feel free to share them! Your contributions are always welcome.

@@jamiermathlin I have several areas of high level expertise I have developed skills in and one, Photoshop and such, that I will never master as it's not really necessary to my purposes but with which I am at the point of being "good enough for government work"! The areas I am more than good at are writing, selling and mentoring young men - all of which actually dovetail in a way they is condusive to easily moving between one to the others. Each requiring strong creative verbal and writing skills, the understanding of people - especially young men in their 20s and 30s and the ability to transfer quantities of experience with life, historical and societal insights that will help them avoid the pitfalls we all went through usually without a skilled mentor on our sides removing road blocks that were oh our ways. I am currently writing a novel, sell my own fine art creations and those of the two painters I represent and oversee the sales of our prints and even tee shirts I create. Your skill levels with photography and Photoshop are wonderful to behold. I do love the "Magic of Photoshop" as Unmesh Dinda of PixImperfect puts it but you are to those realms of endeavor what I, at the risk of being too pleased with myself seeming, have as respects writing, selling and mentoring my "boys". Most were not born in America but rather from Africa, Bangladesh, the Middle East and other parts of the backs of beyond. Sadly, most American yoots, I find unserious, purposeless - easy times make soft men as I am certain you well know and is likely an affliction besetting Great Britain too. In any event, we all have our fortes that result from our inherent loves of a discipline which is one of the things that is most wonderful about this world we live in. I don't have to be at your level to appreciate and learn - be it ever so humble on comparison what I produce on comparison!

Hi, and thanks for the questions. I calculated the exposure by allowing Av mode to show me what 30 sec was at ISO100 and F4 one stop underexposed, I then added three stops to the F stop to give F8, and also added three stops to the exposure, to give 4 mins 😀

@@jamiermathlin thanks for the speedy reply Jamie! I'm going to assume from those numbers all your filters were in place in AV mode for the 30sec exposure reading. Fairly obvious I know but good to clarify for those with less experience. 👍👍

@@RhythmicEye that is correct, filters fitted., the wonders of mirrorless cameras 😀

@@jamiermathlin Thanks mate!

Hi Craig, both good points you raise, however, I have learnt that if there is a slight chance of vibration, leave your camera in-body stabilisation or lens stabilisation switch on, as this works well to counter any movement 😀

@@jamiermathlin Ah, good points, hadn't thought about stabilisation when on a tripod, but that makes sense.

Yes, that is the same software, however, it is the latest edition and includes some minor improvements, mostly related to processing and compatibility with Apple Silicon processors, which can now run natively on Apple Computers, it also has enhancements for running on x86 architecture such as MS Windows. 😀

@@jamiermathlin Thanks Jamie - I searched for Silver Efex Pro and found something called Tonality - which I thought was not the right software. The Nik 7 software is amazing.

😀 😀

well spotted 😀

@@jamiermathlin thanks. 30+ years as a cameraman fortunately has given me an eye for detail. I like your creative renderings of photographs. The photos themselves suggest a real eye for composition. Then you creatively catapult them into a land of imagination, make believe and dream like reverie. Well Done.

good point Don, perhaps I should have left them in 😀

you are very welcome 😀

Thanks for the question, three reasons why this is a useful technique; firstly if you do not have your ND filter on you, and secondly you can end up with blurred or drawn-out lights or lines with a long exposure, and lastly you can extend the exposure time to an equivalent longer exposure time, this shot was equal to about 3 mins. If you want to see me do a 4 min exposure shot with ND filters look here:- ruclips.net/video/vRrf_H0sda4/видео.html&ab_channel=JamieRMathlin

@@jamiermathlin Thank you for the reply! The video was incredibly informative. Much appreciated.

@@gcookz86 you are very welcome 😀

Thank you, it was a fun morning 😀

Hi Cereal, take a look at some of my earlier video, I deal with the basics of Lightroom and Photoshop:- www.youtube.com/@jamiermathlin/videos scroll down to the earlier ones and look for the titles basics, including how to import and export from Lightroom and basic processing, take a look..... 😀

@jamiermathlin Thanks for the tips, I'll take a look later when the kids are in bed. Your work is beautiful. I noticed you mention Serge Ramelli in your Community page. Funny enough, when I discovered your page the other day, before I clicked on the Community page, I thought your stuff reminded me of Serges' work, both of you are producing fabulous photos. Thanks 👍 Subscribed

welcome 😀

cheers Hugo 😀

yes you can add and subtract the masks very similar in Neo 😀

😀😀

Awesome, thank you! great to have you on board :-)

you are very welcome, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, it is very much appreciated 😀

Thank you Erik 😀😀

Hi Alan, there is no question the R5 is a much more capable camera than the 5D4, but that is not to say that the 5D4 is not a good camera it is. The move to an R5 takes you from DSLR to Mirrorless, which is quite a step forward in terms of capabilities and performance, in addition the R5 sensor is one of the best sensors Canon has ever made, so far more dynamic range, less noise and much better auto-focus. Canon is about to release the R52 (this month), so deals on R5's should be good. Kind regards Jamie 😀

thank you

many thanks 😀

Thank you for the comment. With regard to the DNG/TIFF question, when you export a DNG in Lightroom Classic to a plug-in, such as Silver Efex Pro, it automatically converts the image to a TIFF, therefore when it is returned to Lightroom it is rendered as a new image (There are setting is Silver Efex to allow you to change this if necessary) 😀

You are most welcome 😀

you are very welcome Maria, and thank you for taking the time to leave a comment, it is very much appreciated 🙂

thank you 😀

no worries about being critical, it helps me learn and consider different viewpoints. Getting the light direction in an edit is really important to maintain believability of the image, if the direction is not right, it can be off-putting to the viewer, your observation are fair 😀

I try to look for objects that you know to be vertical or horizontal, such as the tower in this case, and you need at least two sources, so best to selected one from each side of the image 😀

Hi Dale, quite often when processing a planned black-and-white output, I often reach a colour point just before transferring to B&W that I think wow, perhaps I should just stop now, but then I open SEP and boom! there s a stunning B&W just waiting to be released 😀

Glad you enjoyed it Marlin, and thank you for your continued support !

thank you :-D

sure, send me a contact note through my website contact page:- jrmathlin.uk and then I will respond with my email, or just send me a link in the contact page to your image. Happy to have a look and provide some feed back 😀

It can be true magic if the exposure is long enough. Of course, you can always use the stacking approach as well, but you need many photos to really make it work ! 😀

Hi Bill, there is a little staircase that goes down on the farside of the bridge, just past the Oxfam shop, through a little tunnel and boom ! you are in the best place to see the weir 😀

@@jamiermathlin thank you very much for the info. That’s now on my list of photo locations to visit.

Hey Stephen, the R5 and 14-35mm combo is a real jewel, I changed back to Canon after being with Sony for 6 years, selling my A7R4 for the R5, people thought I was mad, but I just love the ergonomics of the Canon cameras, the menus make sense and the colour science is king. I must admit the A7R4 has a better sensor over the canon, and no just because it was 61MP, it did have slightly better dynamic range, but all cameras are so good these days, we are all very lucky people. I am looking forward to seeing how the R5 Mk2 performs, as I normally have a second camera, so do I go R5mk2 or R6mk2 and save some money? we shall see :-)
