    Jared absolutely love your stuff man! Incredible shots and your tutorials are an absolute GOD SEND! I need to ask you a favor. LOL. Please start using masks on your layers instead of erasing. LOL. It's the same principal but if you erase something it's gone forever. Just would hate for you to do all that work and have to redo it over again if you noticed a mistake. When you use a mask you can take anything out (just like erasing) but then if you make a mistake, you can just paint it back in no problems and nothing is gone forever. When you erase only, once you erase it it's gone. When you mask out something you can still go back in and bring it back later. When I started off using Photoshop decades ago (I know I am dating myself) I use to do the same thing. Then a co-worker introduced me to masking and I have never looked back. Also, PLEASE DO NOT MERGE YOUR LAYERS! LOL. Once you do all that work you can't edit anything every again if you merge all your layers into one. My suggestion is to select all of your layers and make them all a Smart Object (Right click on any of the layers once select and select "Covert to Smart Object." This will condense all the layers down into one layer but they are still editable. Heaven forbid if you missed something and you need to go back and edit it you can just double click on the smart object and all of your layers are still editable. Just some tips for you. Again, amazing stuff man and thank you for your awesome shots and your incredible tutorials. I have learned a ton watching your vids!

    Hi can I ask a question? How do you get a fast enough shutter speed i.e over 1/4000 sec if photographing in low light? I have tried the blast effects you demonstrated and I know works best in the sunlight to get a fast enough shutter but when photographing fireworks they need to be taken at night or low light, so there won't be anywhere near enough of a fast enough shutter? Do you use shutter priority mode then? I know you mentioned shoot in the shade or at sunset but at sunset the light levels will be really low?? Thanks in advance

    • @sirdork730
      @sirdork730  Рік тому

      Hey! Finding the perfect time of day is very helpful! I love shooting towards the end of the day. The sun has set, but it isn’t dark yet. That’s usually perfect for fireworks!
      For settings, adjust a few other things to brighten things up. Bring your Fstop to a lower amount to brighten things up!
      I also will bring in some outside light to help with that as well, some LEDs or lights to brighten the figure up!
