Hi Bryan, I just found your videos and now I can't stop watching (1:30 am). You have the best way of explaining things. Thank you for that.
Bryan Peterson is absolutely the best at explaining techniques to achieve pleasing results. Concise valuable information presented in an entertaining way. Thanks Bryan.
Brian sums up quicker. Exposure is easy to understand here. As always great tips
helpful info but horrible composition
Thanks again.
Love this guy! Getting addicted to his videos! 😊
I love your tip. Thank!
Forgive my ignorance here, but what he shows in the "corrected" images don't look much like images shot at dawn. Yes, I am very much a noob at this. Are the photos then edited further later?
I don't understand why people get so worked up about light balance these days. Firstly, if you're a serious photographer and you've spent a lot of money on your kit, you're probably not going to shoot in jpeg, which is what the light balance controls affect, you'll shoot in raw, which brings me to my second point that as the wb settings make no difference whatsoever in a raw fileyou can tweak the wb if need be in post. Leave it on auto wb. It's pretty rare the camera gets it totally wrong, and if you shoot raw it makes no difference anyway. Great video though btw. 👍🏻
Mr. Petersen's books are great!
thank you sir
Learned more from this vid then when enrolled on photography panramics. Great!!
Dear sir. I'm Shawn n I like ur video
Im in Chicago are you still here?
When shooting twilight cityscapes I prefer the white balance on daylight.
Cloudy and Shade both give really warm colours. Top tip!
I love your tips. You are the best
this is wat I looked for…superb
. thanks
thanx man. that really helped me alot
i love this channel so much helpful tips,
great tips! but does this really matter if you shoot in raw?
Great advice. Thank you.
Just stumbled on your Youtube videos Bryan and couldn't stop watching.
Truly inspirational, compact, entertaining and above all, fun. I really enjoyed watching them.
When it comes to producing photography videos, you're the dude! You're also much more comfortable and entertaining to watch than some photo-geek or closet pervert hiding behind a camera.
There's a place for talking about and learning about the in-depth technical aspects of photography and there's room for people reviewing new gear, but at the end of the day, this is supposed to be about fun and creativity. You're one of a small few in the youtube community who actually takes photos and inspires people to "get their gear out" (no pun intended Matt).
I realise there's an element of self promotion in what you're doing but I enjoyed it all the same.
Cheers Bryan and keep working that tan 🙂
photography guru
Can't be that hard with a DSLR when you can take pics over and over and adjust/delete where needed. Just try that with film..
He looks like Bryan Adams..lol
