A failed and incomplete tutorial. But hey that’s OK, happy Father’s Day!
I got to head up into the mountains this morning for a Father’s Day hike. Usually I go biking with my friend Dave on father’s day but he was sick today, so instead of a full on hike, I did a short one about a mile away from the car.
But the clouds came in and I had to leave before I could finish the tutorial. I planned on mostly just kicking back and taking it easy at Walker Ranch but I had to hike back to the car early because of the rain.
Dave,
I noticed the long exposure of the stream has a blue cast to it. Is that due toy he ND filter? I just purchased some Cokin ND filters and haven’t gotten a chance to use them yet.
Looks like your Jansport backpack has been good to you. I’ve been looking at the Lowepro backpacks, but I can’t decide what size to get.
I love the people asking you if you are going fishing. Very funny.
@james I added the blue in post, I thought the rocks looks cooler that way.
Hey Dave,
Don’t worry, love your site anyway…maybe next time. Thanks for all the videos.
I always enjoy watching your post even if it failed. It looks like a nice place to shoot videos.
I liked the funny side of this one, even if you didn’t get what you came for – part of the hobby, I guess.
Also, interesting color processing on the backpack picture, I like the vignette and high local contrast. Has a definite “woods and mountains” feel to me.
Dave, LOVE the backpack photo. How did you achieve that look?
Dave,
Thank you for helping me get the more out of my T2i. Watching the videos have opened up a ton of new ideas.
I recently installed the Magic Lantern Firmware and the HDR bracketing is an unbelievable new feature.
Thanks again!
@Michael I used a lightroom preset and then tweaked to my liking.
I am waiting for my 550D to arrive, very tempted by the magic lantern software. Would you recommend it for a newbie to dslr photography or is it best to get used to the default software that canon provides first? Love the effect you got on the backpack shot.
@gareth I would what a month or two before trying it.
Hi Dave, Love your site, just wanted to know what slider your using. Thanks!
@Karam it is the Konova listed on my gear page.
Nice try and I loved the effects the filters gave the photos, but I was wondering what brand they were and if you could point me to them. Thanks and keep up the good work!
