Capturing the PERFECT SHOT: 7 Photography TIPS

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Do you use any of these techniques?

[@noneedtochange9413]

Tilt Shift lens is 👌

[@davehutchisonphotography]

Distortion and light beams are awesome. Would love to see a video on the tilt and shift one day too.

[@davehutchisonphotography]

The people removal at the beginning was interesting. Thanks for sharing that one.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Pretty neat huh! Yeah, I don't use it often, but when I was in Europe it came in handy.

[@davehutchisonphotography]

@@MattShannonPhoto I bet it did. Can't wait to try it myself soon.

[@thomasriera2030]

Great images and tips! I didn't know about the PS statistics/median capability. I've done the approach of overlaying multiple images but, I've always manually masked out the people. That is great that PS can do this automatically. Thanks for the video!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you for the kind words regarding my images and tips! I found out about the PS technique years ago when I was visit Europe (2017 I believe). I was so annoyed with the people and one solution I found on PS was this method and I've used it ever since. Hope it will work for you too.

Excellent video, more like this please.

Great feedback, I will see what I can do, thank you!

That was an engaging video. The light beams 'fogust' tip and the backlit mossies tip were esp interesting.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

[@michaell5038]

Great video, thanks 🙏

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you and thanks for watching! Cheers

Beautiful photos! I would love to try a tilt-shift lens.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

They are pretty cool but can be expensive. No auto focus either.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

They are pretty sweet! Takes more time to get the shot but a fun process.

[@SueFerreira75]

Excellent video with useful tips - thank you!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

My pleasure!

[@KellyPettit]

Great vlog, Matt. Didn't know about the first one! I've done similar in PS but just by manually brushing away people on certain photos in the layers panel. More time-consuming. Thank you!

[@GordonFRegan]

Very interesting and your pictures are fantastic

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you very much!

[@ambrosechiu2338]

great tips, thanks Matt

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Happy to help! Thanks for watching

[@davidroberts5535]

1st tip was new to me. PS has soooo many tools I don’t know about. 2nd one, ever go back and reapply the new LR noise reduction on the people image, then blend it again? Curious. Thanks.

[@iam_nobody_just_a_Nikon_nerd]

Good one. The 14-24 is a nice one but i tested out the Viltrox 16mmf1.8 for Z, if you haven't tried it, do it. Its my first non Nikon lens and i was surprised over its quality both in building and the pictures it delivered.

[@jamesevans1560]

Good stuff.

[@docevil7327]

Great video. I wouldn't mind a more detailed episode on the use of tilt shift

[@santiagojakas472]

Excellent video! Congratulations. I wanted to ask you if these photos taken in public areas are all taken with a tripod. There are many cities that have rules when it comes to using a tripod, or more and more people don't like to see a tripod pointed at them with a camera. Have you had any problems with this issue ever or on a regular basis? How you deal with it? Cheers!

[@michaelbierbaum-z5x]

Thank you Matt a very good video with information, I would like to see more about editing and how to use a tilt-shift lens. Thx

[@richardpesce5325]

Great tips, thanks!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Happy to hear it! Cheers

[@leonewb]

Vídeo excelente! Ótimas dicas. Muito obrigado.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you! And thanks for watching, cheers!

[@brianaikens7282]

Great video. I have tried a few of those techniques. Technique #1 is on my list of things to try. Thanks for the insight on that one. Can it also be executed once you have a number of images loaded into PS (as layers) from LR?

[@TheWildlifeGallery388]

great vid

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Thank you!

[@timdavis1877]

I am new to your channel and I am enjoying it very much. This is a great video! I’m curious about your opinion on composition photography and whether or not photographers are responsible to communicate that it is a composition to clients prior to a sale? Thank you

[@MattShannonPhoto]

Welcome to the channel, and thank you for your kind words! I'm glad you're enjoying the content. Regarding your question about composition photography, I believe transparency is key. I might not have it posted on my website all of the details of every image, but I do like being open about my process when a client asks or needs further detail. I find it more impressive hearing about all the work that went into one photograph. It also helps sell your work in my opinion. Every client I sell an image too likes telling friends and family how I took the photograph, when, with what camera, the struggles, the process to getting it on their wall....etc. Another photographer or artist might think differently. I hope that makes sense.

[@timdavis1877]

You’re exactly right, it’s all about transparency. And about the story behind the photo. Virtually all of my purchased work has been done sold with face-to-face interaction when I can tell the story behind the photograph so that’s so true. Thank you

[@weekendphotographer8400]

always learn something new. That Photoshop feature for removing people is very cool. I've been doing that manually for a while now. Tilt shit lenses have always interested me. Most especially for shooting waterfalls close up. the parallax is very annoying. I'd like to see more.

[@craigmontour9906]

Enjoyed the removing people tip. Thank you.

[@MattShannonPhoto]

You are very welcome, thanks for watching!

[@MattShannonPhoto]

You're welcome! Thanks for watching

希望你来中国旅行，会为你的摄影提供大量精美绝伦的素材。

[@MattShannonPhoto]

I would love to visit China. I've been to Hong Kong for a short layover but that is it.

[@mengleizhao]

@@MattShannonPhoto 如果有机会，推荐你去中国新疆的独库公路自驾，听说在这条路上可以见到一年四季的景色，非常震撼，很遗憾，我也没去过，不过一直在我的计划中😂
