  • In this video, I explain in plain English how to photograph waterfalls.
    Seeing a great picture style and being able to replicate it for most people are 2 very different things. In this video, I'm hoping to explain how you can freeze water and also turn it silky-smooth and milky!
    Whatever your preference, if you're struggling to understand how to create such masterpieces for yourself then this video is definitely for you.

    OMG! No one has ever explained the exposure trio so clearly. 3 up/3 down! All that money wasted on photography courses that never gave a simple guide like that???? You Sir are wonderful. My dyslexia understood your lesson from beginning to end. Thank you from the bottom of my heartxxxxx

    @MrKamos57 3 роки тому +7

    Thanks so much for the detailed explanation. Before I just kept changing my settings until I got something I liked. I knew about the triangle but not about the 3 stop rule. That makes it so much easier. Thanks again. Now I just need to go find a waterfall to photograph.

  • @carlosvanvegas
    @carlosvanvegas 3 роки тому +1

    That was really mind blowing how you explained this, as it put a structure to understanding why the changes were made, where I've just sort of hit and hoped the settings before, but not really understood why I was making them.

    Thanks Gary, this is the best tutorial I have seen on changing these settings. I had an idea of stops and 3 clicks per stop but this has truly explained it to me.
