Nice to hear someone enjoying themselves whilst creating a masterpiece.

thank you 😀

4 years using photoshop and after watching endless tutorials, nobody mentioned the 50% overlap for the spot remover. Makes perfect sense 🎉

[@jamiermathlin]

I am happy to know that I have been helpful in a little way 😀

Jamie, nicely done, as like others I'm really glad I came across you. Thank you very much for all you show.

[@jamiermathlin]

You are very welcome Dale, and thank you for taking time to leave a comment 😀

so much detail -- you have mountains of patience

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you 😀

Brilliant 👍🏽

I find watching your videos just captivating, the way you take a "ho-hum" daytime photo and transform it into a dynamic nighttime photo. To me, daytime-to-nighttime conversions look so much more interesting and have so much more depth than a photo actually taken at nighttime. I'm impressed with your ability to visualize how the light lays in the photo and make that a reality using radial filters and subtraction. Your daytime-to-nighttime photos are truly Fine Art Photography. Thank you for sharing your expertise with us. Daytime-to-nighttime conversions are now the most fun aspect of photography for me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

Jamie in the meantime, thank you for sharing your technique, volove ask yourself if you use a tripod or freehand shots because these shots have a three-dimensional sharpness and fearfulness. Thanks and congratulations for your work.

[@jamiermathlin]

Hey thanks for the comment and question. Generally, for my day-to-night images, I shot hand-held as there is lots of light, however whenever I want to create smooth water or overlay a number of images, or there is not enough light to remain at 100ISO I shoot on a tripod 🙂

[@longislandstu]

Great lesson. Thanks.

[@markscutt7471]

Yet another fantastic tuition. thanks for your time Jamie. Gives me inspiration to go over my old image library to make what was a bland shot into something interesting.

[@tomgriffinphotographyakiwi6150]

Another excellent tutorial 💯

[@singlekafegmx9065]

You still do the best day to nights! I recently discovered nervous Serge Ramelli with nice courses but his day to nights are no good compared to yours. Greetings from Germany!

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank You very much for your kind words, Serge is a good friend of mine and he actually agrees with you 😀

[@maintt01]

I love your videos, so insightful and you take the time to explain every step, I hope you go on to get thousands of subscribers you deserve it

[@jamiermathlin]

thank you 🙂

[@normjames4451]

Wow! I am so glad that I discovered this channel. This is exactly what I’ve been looking for. I do have a question of Jamie - do you print your photos? If so, do they come out too dark? Thank you for showing all of us these techniques.

[@jamiermathlin]

Thank you for the comment and question, the answer is yes, I do print or have printed my images and generally, I raise the exposure by 1/2 to 3/4 of a stop and lower the contrast by around 8-10 points, this is due to the printing process having a tendency to have a slightly lower exposure and a lot more contrast. This becomes obvious when high-contrast images like the sort I do, are printed. Hope this helps 😀

[@luisarevalo6112]

Great video! I use darktable for post porcessing but you gave me a lot to think about when editing! 👏👏👏👏👏

[@miroslavradoev2149]

You are a very smart person. your shot is overcast hence you do not have sharp shadows. Than you chose a position and lighting where you see detail in the interiour. Later you can light it easily. By carefully choosing the picture you begin with you make this process look easy. I would like to see a tutorial where you start from a sundrenched image with dark sharp shadows and dark interiours. I have done this couple of times. It is not as easy as you make it seem.

[@markscutt7471]

I think you said it here Miroslav. You need to take a shot thinking about day to night. Expose correctly or you will struggle. It could possibly also depend on your cameras sensor, and the dynamic range capabilities to pull out the shadows with out producing noise. What are you using?

[@miroslavradoev2149]

@@markscutt7471 I am not using anything. I am not a photographer. I do architectural visualisations. Usually the pictures I need to work with are taken by somebody else. Considerations in advance about how the picture will end up are uncommon to say the least. 'Here is an image of the empty spot where our new shiny building will be built. Please insert our project and make the picture look dramatic' This is what I usually get. Sometimes during the process the clients change their mind and ask for the image to become a night one after starting with a day picture. I remember once they gave me a daytime image. Noon summer sun. The project was in Israel. The lit places were overbright and the shadows were very dark and sharp. 'yea we need this to be a night one. Good luck.' I have spent a day and a half bluring the edges of the shadows and another day cutting out the fenestration. Than I had to actually make it a night one. Did I mention it was an aerial image. The result was good but it was not nearly as easy as Jamie makes it look. Sometimes they can not make up their mind at all and than you get absurd results. one half of the image is a day-ish and the other is a night-ish.

[@jasonlacey5979]

Excellent.. thank you, but awful slow and long production

[@jamiermathlin]

Most people tell me that I go to fast :-) I can do it much faster but then I get complaints, it is hard to find a happy balance !
