  3. Would you be able to do something similar (bracketing) on a landscape scene and then mesh those 3 images together through software without a tripod? I will be travelling soon but space is limited and I won't be able to bring a tripod with me.

  6. So in the 3 photos did he just move a point within the frame to meter the 3 diff pics in the water, cloud, tower or did he actually focus on the 3 separately and the recompose to the same final spot??

  16. Given the "infinity"-distance of your subjects, an aperture around 8-11 ( = optimum image quality) would have done the same exposure with a lot shorter shutter times, reducing the chance for vibrations. Dito would the removal of the camera strap have help in that, too, esp. with the center column being extended so much. If You shoot in RAW, then the white-balance setting is irrelevant, as the RAW-file contains only the pure exposure data and the WB-setting is changeable in post-processing. Otherwise an informative video for beginners. ATB, Gereon

  23. Dear Nigel,I'm struggling buying a landscape lens. The objective (Nikon 16-35mm F/4) you use, in your very good reviews, are according to other reviewers, lack of sharpening by manual focussing by mis-communication between focus ring and inner focus unit.

    The lens is primarily targeting the
    professional market and thus the build quality is accordingly high. The outer
    barrel is made of a magnesium alloy and there are seals for dust and moisture
    protection. Both the zoom and focus ring work smoothly and are well damped, but at least
    on our review unit the focus ring showed a little play: not in the focus ring
    itself, but in the coupling with the actual focus unit. When changing the focus
    direction, it takes a few millimeters of movement until the focus unit actually
    follows the focus ring. This can be annoying when trying to nail critical
    focus, for example in Live View.
    Do you have the same experience? The same counts for the ""newly"" prime lenses 20, 24, 28, 35 mm F/1.8G ED. So for me as starting (hobby) landscape photographer difficult to decide which objective to buy.Please, respond.Thanks in advanceKindly regards,E. Velthorstthe NetherlandsP.S,Again: I have read your reviews with great interest.

  27. one more note … you shoot raw and then you say how important is white balance for you … you trust your camera … normal people trust the way raw works so they can change white balance anytime later in post. ..

  28. is it something funny about canon using different names for the functions? I am canon user so it might sound funny to me what nikon uses … but it is not because i dont care about the names bt about what it does

  39. Thanks for the nice video. Newer cameras, like the D750 have incredible dynamic range. Knowing that blown highlights cannot be recovered, i pay attention to the clouds. I also keep in mind that bracketing water is not pleasant. I love the highlight priority setting in my D750, and find amazing how much one can recover in the shadows, darker areas!

  45. ..I have a point and shoot Camera Nikon cool pix L 840 Am having trouble in getting those deep blue skies on clear days I have a landscape setting and a Hue setting with color code from Green to dark Red My time time exposure is very limited 10 seconds

  46. It is so preposterous of him to abruptly end it after simply taking those 3 differently exposed shots. I believe the post-processing part here is of prime importance, and he should have showed us the whole of it to achieve that final single HDR picture.
