sorry for the weird 30 seconds of blank space at the end 🤣

[@AndelosPhotography]

More like 3 minutes of blackout 😂

[@JasonLawrenceNoel]

Thank you, loved the chat!!

[@jasonmontoyaphoto]

really love this. thank you for making these deconstructions in video format. such amazing content and highlight the craft of photography itself is such refreshing youtube content 🫶

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

absolutely! really glad to have this feedback, and the articles are hopefully
helpful too as i tend to tap into other tangential ideas along the way.

The colour of that flare is gorgeous

Is bitdepth CS a new one? I have bitdepth X with your presets

[@iamsamhurdphotography]

bitdepth x is made for the dvlop platform, who makes their own camera matching profiles, but bitdepth cs is made for adobes camera standard profile, which has a look i currently like. been using it the past year or so

[@supong_al_creation]

I thought more to come like some other UA-camr always come back 😂😂
