Great videos man! I really appreciate that you explain things properly but you're brief and concise, without a lot of unnecessary talk that make the video long and boring to watch. Good job ;)
Thanks Andres! This is exactly my goal. So much instruction uses so, so many words. I do try to let everyone know if a video assumes the viewer has a baseline of knowledge (so everyone can go learn that first). I appreciate the feedback and plan to keep this style! - Brent
Thanks Brent you always get me exited to go diving every weekend whenever I see one of your videos to try improving my photography skills. a problem that i’m facing is after taking a shot i look into the screen to check the photo and it seems OK, however when I take it to lightroom for editing since i’m shooting raw the photo is sometimes very bad and and I can’t get any results out of it. checking the histogram would really help a lot.
Hi Hamza - thanks for the kind words. I know the feeling. The histogram will definitely help you adjust those exposure issues while you're still shooting. Other things like backscatter are really difficult to see in the LCD screen, even if you zoom in all the way to the corners. My rule is if I zoom in and see any hint of backscatter, there is likely a lot there you don't see yet, so I rework the light positioning.
Thanks. How about a video showing how you can use the shape of the histogram (assuming there is no clipping) to determine if you have the right exposure for varying types of scenes?
Good idea Oren. I touched on it here but didn't elaborate. I often cover that during image reviews, but it would certainly make a nice tutorial. It's on the list!
Great overall summary! It is very difficult to cover all of the topics you cover in one video. Follow up videos to cover each topic in more details by itself :) Thank you VERY much!!!
Thanks Burhaneddin! And very good point. This video works closely with Best Settings and Constant Light. I have Highlight Alerts coming soon. I’m planning to write a guide on my website that shows all these topics and subtopics, and where to find the videos. Hopefully that will help as well.

Can you do a video explaining what a histogram, RGB parade, vector scopes, etc should look like ideally when perfectly exposed, white balanced, and color graded? Everyone says to pull those up in premiere pro but then never explain what it should look like ideally.
Hi WeiseGuy, these advanced exposure and color grading features will really depend on the scene you're shooting and how you're shooting it. For example, you want to use a high ISO and overexpose scenes by a stop when shooting in some RAW formats. The way you record and the desired final output will change the way you're working with color while color-grading. Honestly, I'm not a video post-production expert (or color grading specialist), so don't feel I'm the right guy to discuss this. I set a manual WB underwater and shoot my color card, then apply global changes and color grade based on my eye and my calibrated monitor, not relying on the advanced tools. Sorry!
What does everyone think about how I covered exposure? Is there anything I missed that should be in a Part 2 video?
Very clear and organized. Definitely need to watch the Best Settings video and the one on using a dive light for lighting regular photos.
@@atlantisdiveresorts I agree! There's just too much to have everything in a single video, so they have to build off each other.
Great video! I'm a tg6 user, and your aperture-shutter speed graphic just nailed it. I'm changing my camera settings right now.
Thanks!
So glad to hear that Paloma!! Yes! Let me know how it goes next dive day 😎
that is great

@@BrentDurand Do you normally teach in-person u/w photo courses?

Great informative video 🤙
Thanks! I appreciate the support 👊
would be great to see curve editing if you do any? thanks!
Great idea. I believe I do some curves editing in this Lightroom tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/Ibqx8Kw_4qc/v-deo.html

@@BrentDurand no problem! I’m doing the same for now but I’d love a good tutorial on all the scopes and such some day. I’ll keep looking haha.
@@WeiseGuy91 I hear you! We need the experts to chime in 😎
is there a histogram on the sealife micro 3,0 aswel
I do not believe it has a histogram available during in-camera image review.
