Great teaching.

[@ukaszl.9943]

Wow great!

[@gunnarbjarkiii]

I think We all want to see a side by side Sony A7IV + 35mm 1.4 vs Fuji Xh2s 23mm 1.4 or at least I want to see that!

Hi Crhis yhank for sharing all these amazing contents. I download your V3 preset pack but some values are different....

[@cesardiaz8111]

What filter did you say you were using?? Great work!

[@flol3266]

You never used the bottom part of the loupedeck. Wouldn't a loupedeck live also be sufficient and you would also spare some space on the desk?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yeah totally I’d buy the live if I was spending my own money on it

[@gorniko]

Great video! I am not a professional photographer but after watching this I do realize now that I am spending way too much time editing individual images 😅. Also a big thanks for disabling ads I really appreciate it and will purchase the presets to support your channel, and as a bonus they really look great 😊 Do you always use a pro mist filter on shoots? Or did you just use it here because the scene was a good match for it? And I liked the fujifilm content as well just to add, thanks!

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Appreciate you

[@scottayoder]

Hey Chris! Great video! I've been using the Loupedeck for awhile. Would definitely love to figure out how to make it "rotate and crop in automatically." I can add the rotate option, but it doesn't crop automatically. Wondering what I'm doing wrong. Edit: I figured it out. I didn't have "Constrain Crop" checked in Lightroom!

[@timeandtides8701]

I crop my verticals to 4:3 in about 99% of cases lol. Btw, at weddings in the day do you often find you have to stop down a bit because the shutter is maxed out at 1/8000? It’s one of the things I miss the most after switching from Fuji, the fast electronic shutter.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Sometimes not super often. And only to like f2 maybe

[@timeandtides8701]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer in Spain it happens a lot haha

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

@@timeandtides8701 yeah I bet

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

I'd still rather be in Spain tho lol

[@adrianlammers1229]

Do you have a playlist on Spotify or Apple Music you can share with that backing music?? Soo good!

[@Subi_Vallejo]

Great video brother, totally with you on the 4:3! How’s your culling workflow like these days?

[@shawnandmavis]

always a pleasure watching these kind of videos you do, seeing how other photographers work is very inspirational sometimes, especially if it's a great photographer like Chris Turner! LOL

[@gabrielfilm4181]

Loved the Louedeck. Thanks for video! Rad work Chris.

[@andrewdove342]

🤙

[@scottydmonbot01]

I never knew how much I need a rotate dial until now. Is it much of a process to program in the loop deck? any good resources to learn how to do that?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Nah it's literally drag and drop once you open the app

[@erg1450]

Chris, what is the device you are using to help you with LR editing ?, never seen it before

[@jcbarker1]

It’s a Loupedeck

[@FFrei-ue8bn]

Hey Chris, been loving your channel! Always brings back fond memories of NZ when I was in Wellington as an Au-pair couple of years back. Been a proud user of your v3 pack, the only thing I sometimes struggle with are relatively red skintones after appying the preset, usually with increasing exposure it gets better but often blows out the rest of the image. A tip on what I‘m doing wrong would be greatly appreciated! Cheers from Switzerland Fabio

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Heya thanks mate. What cameras are you using. Email me an example if you like

[@gunnarbjarkiii]

Tried messing with the camera calibration in the bottom of lightroom classic?

[@utopian666]

Hey man not sure you'll see this, but when you are rotating shots with the loupedeck is that using transform:rotate? The problem I have is that 'constrain crop' is unchecked, so it doesn't crop in on the shot like your does. I have to enable it for every shot

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Yeah I am. Before you edit your files just choose constrain crop and sync all the images. Then edit

[@utopian666]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Thanks for the reply, appreciate it! Ok, I'll give that a try 👍 By the way, love your channel, well done!

[@zyncmaster427]

Gorgeous photos, awesome editing! The mist effect seems to add some drama to the photos. What’s strength of the mist filter that was used? As always, thanks for sharing!

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Thanks mate. Just a 1/8th. I find any more is too much

[@mrmeeks222]

@ChrisTurnerPhotographer which filter are you using for this. I think you said but I couldn't quite hear the name

[@Veemes1]

Given the price-point, would you recommend the Loupedeck + over the CT?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

I'd get the loupedeck live. I think I mention that In the video. It's about the same price as the plus

[@Veemes1]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Got it! And I must've missed that. By the way, awesome video and fantastic photos!

[@tomwomersley6485]

@@Veemes1 I've had the loupedeck+ for the last 3 years. The CT would be way nicer I reckon, I don't touch half of my keyboard, at least you can customise it a bit more. :)

[@orlixx]

Hi. I have no idea if these processed photos are your private session or commissioned, but the question arose ... Do you also give your clients photos in so many different proportions? If so, have you considered how much of a problem you cause them if they make prints out of it and every third photo is in a different proportion?

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

This was a client shoot yes. Ask yourself this... Your clients are paying you for your individual style, my clients typically buy prints to order, they get printed and framed by professionals not on a stationary shop kiosk. If a printer and framer can't handle a 2:1 aspect ratio they probably shouldn't be in that like of work. I see what your saying but in the last 500 weddings I've shot I don't remember a single occasion where I have had to deliver extra photos with a standard aspect ratio.

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

Great question though. I might bring that up in the podcast

[@orlixx]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer I just dropped the topic 😀

[@JonniArmani]

I use the A7I4 at work and honestly it’s a fail for Sony - the focus is crap-

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

I have pretty much 100% focus hit rate, I'm not sure how you think its that bad? Maybe its settings or something

[@JonniArmani]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer Chris a lot of time I’m using it for product photography really close up and it’s really not that good and I’ve run across a few other people who have focus problem issues with this camera so it is a known occurrence

[@JonniArmani]

@@ChrisTurnerPhotographer I brought my A7R3 into the office the other day, and it performed like a gem 💎 so I’m not sure why it’s happening

[@ChrisTurnerPhotographer]

I think it’s probably user error most of the time. For most people. I could see with product photography it being weird for sure. I’d use manual for that.
