Take BETTER Images - Tips from NAT GEO Photographer

[@Alex_Mustard]

I shoot all my pictures using a Kelvin WB. Although as an underwater photographer needing to use flash, this is usually set to what looks best with the flashes I am using (usually 4700 or 4800K with my main flashes). I like my shots to look great as possible as I shoot them - as I find that inspires and motivates me to push on for something special. And having the WB spot on is part of that.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

Sage advice from the master of underwater photography! 🙌

[@enmark5]

A master class again from a master photographer .. Your best so far . Keep em coming kiddo.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

@enmark5 Thanks, mate. As always, your support and kindness are massively appreciated! 👊

[@JohnEboyee]

Hi Andy. Finally finding the time to comment and just wanted to let you know how inspirational your videos have been for me. I didn't quite know where my photo hobby was taking me artisically lately, but your words and visual examples helped motivate me to restore my inner creativity that's been dormant for a while. I've been listening to Rob Read's and Josh Galicki's podcast for the last few weeks and together with yours and their contribution, I'm finally enjoying wildlife photography again with a new found perspective. And let me tell you... It's an extremely hard genre. But your tips on shooting locally and trying new things are making the adventure worth it. I know we say that the tool used doesn't define the artist, but I've got an R5 on the way coming from a 7DII, and can't wait to test my skills in anticipation of a step up in quality. Stay well and I really appreciate you making these videos.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

Hey John. Your comment was certainly worth the wait. Thank you so much, and I'm delighted to hear that my videos, alongside the podcasts of Rob and Josh, have contributed to a renewed passion for wildlife photography. There's no question in my mind that the latest equipment offers incredible new opportunities for what we're able to produce. In this challenging field, we must always strive to enjoy the journey! 👊

[@iang7007]

Thank you for your work, this helped me see more than gear, more than the tight portrait, and get in touch with seeing God in nature and art in craft rather than technology... why I wanted to do this in the first place. And being new to this all, "take photos for yourself" yes. Clarifying. Helpful. Art and craft rather than commercial aspiration that I can't control the outcome of. But inspiration, I can seek to fulfill that. And inspiration comes from beyond. What He chooses to do with the outcome is beyond me but I can do my part and try my best. the story remains and that's what I want to share. God bless you :)

Beautiful images, Andy. Thank you for sharing. I am fortunate to live within walking distance to a park, which happens to be surrounded by water. I often walk along the shoreline photographing sailboats, yachts, surfers, jet skiers, fisherman, waterfowl, etc. Squirrels, fox, various bird species, even an occasional snake have been the subjects of my camera. This has brought me much joy over the years. I have been able to photograph this area through each season, Winter, Fall, Spring & Summer. I am so grateful being able to photograph so many beautiful subjects. Thank you for your wonderful YT channel. Cheers & safe travels.😊

Thank you so much for another informative video Andy! I am not exaggerating this series of videos are incredibly informative and practical.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

It means a great deal to me to hear such supportive comments. Thank you!

[@chathuradsilva]

Andy, when it comes to post processing, you said that you do not do things like removing imperfections. (The image of the lion cub and mother) What is your opinion on selective color adjustments? Are you into that? Personally as a nature enthusiast, I have the same view on not removing im0erfections to keep the liveliness and reality of the image. Struggling to decide on whether to do or avoid selective exposure adjustment, masked color overlays like stuff. Like to know your opinion and where you draw the line when it comes to post processing.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

@chathuradsilva When it comes to post-processing/colour adjustments then my objective is always authenticity. I want the finished image to look as accurate as possible. I have no issue with selective lightening/darkening as this has always been possible. I see the RAW file as exactly that, something that needs to be optimised authentically.

It's very refreshing to see someone who is very generous in sharing their knowledge and experience with others. Thank you, Andy. I laughed out loud when you said all the excuses for not to go out because it sounded like me at 3.30am when I have to drive to my site which takes 50min. You mentioned adjusting the kelvin scale in camera, unfortunately my DSLR only adjust by 100 increments. So, it looks like I'll have to set auto WB and then make the adjustments in post. Thanks, from Australia.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

@meadowbellphotography 🤣 Those excuses never go away, just how we respond to them! It still might be worth trying at 5000K and 6000K. As you say, you can always default back to Auto WB if it doesn't work!

Hi Andy, this is amazing to have a site that again inspire photography, the art of taking pictures. I also look at the tech detail and again realise the constant GAS fuelled by the internet with the promise of faster, sharper, less noise etc has created an audience of gear owners. Yes, there are advantages with new technology but in reality, no one can blame poor images on lack of equipment.

[@sequoi_]

Loved this video and glad to hear another photographer suggesting manually setting WB by Kelvin. An additional benefit of doing this is to simply allow for mass WB editing in post. I learned this from a wedding photographer. Since they like us wildlife photographers are blasting away at high FPS often, it's much easier to manually set your Kelvin and then say these 50 photos are all a bit cooler or warmer than I'd like. Since they are all at 5560k I can make 1 mass adjustment to them all to a cooler or warmer kelvin and move on in the editing/culling process.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

@@sequoi_ as you say, very, very useful if you batch process. As always, authenticity is key, I believe, so that the final image does not look like an artifice!

Great video and tips, thank you! I just found your channel. I too shoot in kelvin. Wish we would have so much wildlife left where I live, hunting in Sweden is big and careless.

[@andyparkinsonphotography]

It is an extraordinarily beautiful country in which you live, and it's a shame that the hunting lobby is so powerful! And at least you still have snow occasionally! ❄️

Thanks for the inspiration. I needed that right now... 🙂 It has been some weeks with the camera resting on a shelf.

My pleasure, I hope that it gets you back out there!
