Some stunning shots bravo

[@DerekForss]

Thank you.

[@UrbaneHobbit]

I came here to figure out how to get night-sight style photographs without resorting to HDR and JPEG-only output. Thank you, Mr. Forss - this video is fully illuminating!

[@DerekForss]

Thank you for letting my know that my 'York at Night' programme has been helpful. I have over 200 productions about photography on KZbin, here is the link to my Homepage: - kzbin.info

[@marvincordova8956]

here in 2020 watching a master of photography show his craft. i have learned so much since switching to m43. being myself a canon shooter.

[@DerekForss]

I am so pleased to learn that you are continuing to enjoy looking at my programmes. Thank you for letting me know.

[@sabyasachibanerjee124]

This is a very educating video. The first part is just visual delight. The final bit has such wonderful insights. And a testimony of the power of RAW. Have to switch to using them...

[@DerekForss]

Thank you for your comments. I am a firm believer in saving to RAW as it gives you far more flexibility in post-production for satisfying a variety of clients requirements than JPEG.

[@musemellow]

Wow, being a m43 and with F4 lens I did not think that it could achieve such amazing results at night, Thank you for the video!

[@DerekForss]

Quite a lot of nonsense is expressed here and elsewhere about M43, it can do a lot more than photographers of other formats think.

[@Kunal0915]

Incredible!! Just goes on to show how important it is to know your camera. Its strengths and its weaknesses.

[@DerekForss]

Thank you, I have done other night-time photography. It is also good with the same combination inside churches and stately homes.

[@Kunal0915]

@@DerekForss Mr. Forss. Thanks I will most surely have a look.

[@mirandavandenberk786]

Wow,they are amazing. I go try this, this weekend with my olympus

[@DerekForss]

Thank you. Hope your trip is successful

I hope you will enjoy seeing my other productions just as much as the York programme.

@@DerekForss I trust I will 👍

[@TITAOSTEIN]

Absolutely beautiful night photos and incredibly valuable tips! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

[@DerekForss]

My pleasure!

[@whitebarone]

I wish to be good as you! I am considering a combo Om-d EM1 Mk2 +12-100. With the mk3 now in the market, I found the mk2 and the lens at a very good price (new). I wanted to know if the combined action of the built in and lens stabilisers would allow lower EV for extra stops, and you confirmed it. Now I am sold

[@DerekForss]

Thank you for your comments. I am so pleased to hear that my programmes have helped you to make the right decision in respect of camera equipment.

[@simfor]

Wow sir you are a great storyteller, great video, you have my subscription

[@DerekForss]

Thank you for subscribing, it is greatly appreciated.

[@MrRgr004]

Hi Derek, I will get my 12-100 Pro Lens by the end of the month and will start shooting at night thereafter. This is something I have seldom done before. Needless to say i will follow your setting advices. Many thanks for your very inspiring videos.

[@DerekForss]

Hello Roland. Thank you for letting me know. I hope that all goes well!

[@fernanddurler4709]

Lovely video thanks again…i notice that your yellows are very pronounced .Is this native outcome of the camera colour science or is t your proprietory lug/edit style. The architecture seems overly golden in hue and grainy

[@DerekForss]

This programme was produced some years ago, before Covid and it is difficult to recall the circumstances governing photography. It is likely that the presence of tungsten light would have warmed the images and although I save to RAW, even today I find it difficult to know how much I should reduce 'yellow' in post-production.

[@MrSTAdventures]

Hi Derek, I have only just discovered your marvellous channel. I am seriously considering buying an Olympus E-M1X with the same lens at you used in this video. You have unknowingly helped me make the decision to buy what I consider to be the best camera and lens combination available for my needs. Thank you very much for sharing your knowledge 🙏

[@DerekForss]

Hello Shane, pleased to learn that one of my programmes has encouraged you to consider investing in an E-M1 + 12-100 Pro Lens. I have several other programmes featuring this combination and you may find my website helpful in accessing them. www.derekforss.com Best wishes and thanks. Derek Forss

[@MrSTAdventures]

Derek Forss Many thanks, be assured I shall be watching with great interest. Subscribed 🙏😊

[@FierceSleepingDog]

Wow!

[@DerekForss]

Glad you liked it.

[@lakebummer]

I guess this blows up the expose to the right mantra.

[@DerekForss]

I have never supported the idea of exposing to the right as you are in danger of creating overexposed highlights on images having a high dynamic range that are difficult to correct. Underexposure is not without its own problems, in particular noise, but at least you stand a better chance of suppressing it. Thank you for your comment.

[@alanlewis1593]

Hi, Derek, Do you import to Olympus workspace first then transfer to Lightroom. Thanks, Alan.

[@DerekForss]

Alan Lewis I haven’t tried Workspace yet, but I download and catalogue using Viewer, as briefly shown in programme, before importing information into Lightroom.

[@foorichard1712]

Hi Derek understanding you using spot metering meter the whiter area & -0.3 which mode do you use?

[@DerekForss]

I am not sure whether I fully understand the nature of your enquiry, but I combine -0.3EV with spot-metering. Whilst the OM-D E-M1mkii has sophisticated ways of controlling the dynamic range of exposure, I tend to use my eyes, an answer that disappoints some photographers! As I believe the programme explains, I err on the side of underexposure risking noise so that highlights stand a chance of correction, a technique that takes a bit of practice and experience. As they say, 'practice makes perfect'!

[@bedoinuk]

I like your (very British) storytelling very much, but to me, some of the pictures look "overcooked" ever so slightly. As an example, there's ghosting around the spires at 1:25 - too much "Clarity" maybe? Or perhaps it's just due to the KZbin compression? I don't know. Sometimes less is more IMHO.

[@DerekForss]

You are probably right! When working in such challenging lighting, you push things as much as possible in post-production and have noted myself several times that I go too far! Best wishes and thanks.
