There are only a few KZbinrs that actually do a fantastic job at presenting explains & demonstrating certain aspects on how to use functions, you sir have nailed it brilliantly Skoll & Thx

Thanks to this video I took 5 portraits of my beautiful wife and merged them into one and now I have a gorgeous wife!!! Thanks again. Keep the faith!

:-D

[@alexblaze8878]

I’ve learned more today about my d700 than I have in the past year that I’ve owned it. You are excellent at presenting subject matter in an easily digestible way. Another well done video!

[@frederikboving]

Wow, thank you Alex! Much appreciated!

[@HerrSantander]

Congratulations on this Video! Its practical, illustrative and also explains the Concept perfectly. Many thanks!

Only just come across your Video and I've got to say I am very impressed indeed. Never had a real clue about Bracketing but I do now. Thanks a lot. Now subscribed and want to hear more about how you work.

[@frederikboving]

Thank you Steve! Much appreciated! And welcome!

I picked up a 1500 shutter count D700 yesterday. Your videos are amazing. This is very clear and I will use this everytime. Thank you.

[@danikeiko2169]

Wow! I Thank you. I am so glad I found your channel and this play list on D700, the camera I've been using for over 10 years, without deep knowledge on things like HDR. I thought of upgrading and decided not. I'd rather make better use of it.

[@frederikboving]

Thank you! The D700 is a gem! I have many other cameras and have had many other cameras, but the D700 will stay with me! All the best!

[@oldfilmguy9413]

Well done and clearly explained!

[@frederikboving]

Thank you! Glad the video was helpful!

[@ShaideeShoots]

Mr Frederik thanks alot sir i kind of know what HDR is but the way you explained the dynamic range salute sir thank for your service. Everytime i see that you posted a video i already know its gonna be awsome. Keep going sir your channel is gonna grow i am very positive about that.

[@frederikboving]

Thank you Peshawar! Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much for the excellent explanation for the exposure bracketing method by putting somewhat abstract concepts into simple graphic drawings, making the concept easy to understand and to follow.

[@frederikboving]

Thank you for your kind words! Much appreciated!

[@A.Kaklanis]

Wow.....All I can say is thanks!!!Another thing I didn't know for my D700...Keep up the good work!!!!

[@jefflutonsky8978]

Hi, I recently purchased a D700. Your videos have been amazing…very informative and helpful! Can you bracket photos on a tripod with a remote shutter release or do you have to manually hold the Fn button and shutter release at the same time? I’m concerned about handheld shakiness/blur. Thank you!!

[@frederikboving]

Hi Jeff, not sure why you would want to hold the Fn button? Sorry if I'm being dense. If you want to shoot bracketed and worry about camera shake, then I would drop the continuous mode and shoot the images individually - the camera will still go through the bracket series, you just have to hit the shutter as many times as there are in the bracketing series (3, 5 etc). That should be possible with a remote although I have not tried it to be honest. And you can set menu d9 to on to activate shutter release delay if you dont have a remote control. That way you minimize shake from both photographer and the mirror flicking. Hope this helps!

[@bfs5113]

Ignoring the modern digital HDR & pp, Exposure Bracketing can be used as an insurance (mostly in a hurry), especially against improper metering (b/f from the film days) or difficult metering situations. For example, photographing a VIP inside a limo with the window down, against a snow foreground without EV compensation, etc. 😊

[@frederikboving]

Hi BFS, it's a good point! I never thought of it like that :-D

[@speeize]

[@richardrh3623]

Hello Frederik, at some time please could you do a video on how to do flash bracketing. I’ve tried but the method I’m using doesn’t seem to have much effect. I set the camera up in manual with auto iso and the flash ,off camera ,to TTL. Should the flash be set to manual as well. Your help will be much appreciated.Thanks.

Is this maybe what you're looking for? kzbin.info/www/bejne/aZmXdop7eauKbbs

[@woodedape]

Thanks for the great info. What type of computer do you use for editing?

[@frederikboving]

Thank you Wilmar, I use a PC that I have built myself with Windows 10 running on it. The processor is an I5-8600. Even though it is a few years old, I find it difficult to upgrade to a new CPU that will give me a dramatic performance improvement.

[@woodedape]

@@frederikboving I'm looking a purchasing a laptop but there are so many to choose from. It's overwhelming.

[@frederikboving]

@@woodedapeAgreed. One tip can be to zoom in on a specific brand that you like or that gets good reviews and try to find a laptop that suits you just within their lineup.

[@vzshadow1]

I just got my camera and it is not in factory setting for the function button. How do I rectify this situation.

[@vzshadow1]

Never mind, I sorted it out. Thanks anyway

[@helmutsassenfeld8002]

when I set my D700 just as you have yours at 3:27 on the video and run a series of shots, it doesn't change the shutter speed on any of the shots and the histogram of course looks the same on all of them. It shows the bracketing icon and the shots being fired off in the LCD display but no change in shutter speed or exposure. Any idea why? Could their be some setting stopping it from changing. I turned off auto iso and tried a different lens but still no joy. My firmware is 1.04. Any ideas much appreciated otherwise I guess I'll try a factory reset.

[@frederikboving]

Which PASM mode are you in? Try switching to P and see what happens.

[@helmutsassenfeld8002]

@@frederikboving I tried P S and A mode just like your video. Same result in all the different modes

[@frederikboving]

[@marcusballam1961]

I have lr but it doesn’t support hdr images.

[@frederikboving]

Maybe this how-to guide is of some use: helpx.adobe.com/lightroom-classic/help/hdr-photo-merge.html

[@frederikboving]

If you have LR classic, select the say 3 pictures in grid view, press control-H, and you should be able to have LR generate a HDR processed image with details both in the highlights and the shadows.
