Tethered shooting with Leica & Lightroom

[@josephchan4198]

Love how you get the best photos out of the photoshoot and make the model or customer feel comfortable. Awesome.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Glad you like it!

Thanks to both of you, Peter and Ana for letting us in on this shoot. This is a look a lot of people ask for so it's nice to see how you take on these kinds of shoots. Always a pleasure, and always learn something! Cheers - Dave

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks Dave

Lightroom user... So this is much appreciated. Many Thanks

Nice shots! 4:29 My favorite shot! Ana's shots on the second background were my favorites!

I really enjoy what you are doing .. your assistant is great and your images awesome.

Those were gorgeous. I love that shooting with vintage glass allows you to get those unique characteristics that add so much feel to the final image.

Excellent video. I'm really liking how you demo the tethering. That's next on my list. You nailed that old school look with Anna perfect. Thanks for sharing!!!

Excellent presentation with Leica! You seemed so smooth and accurate during the photo shoot.thank you so much Peter.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Many thanks!

[@michaelmcphee2930]

I was interested in tethering for my own purposes but was really impressed with the shoot and the number of great shots you got. She has to be the most impressive and expressive model I have so far in the few weeks I've been watching you. A truly classic elegant look to match those classic lenses. Thanks heaps for this one Peter.

[@markjohnsonphotography]

Stellar work. BTW, you can tether your Sony with whatever program you have to use and automatically bring it into Lightroom by setting up a "hot folder" in Lightroom.

[@David.G.P.]

Many thanks for this new backstage session. @Bec: Many thanks for assisting in this session and for supporting Ana as well. Your presence in these sessions is always a reminder that an assistant is a critical role when there is a Model in front of a camera, and even more, in front of more than one. I don’t know what you are waiting for … you must start recording with your own camera; you know the human eye very well. @Ana: you are an brilliant Model. I know this session is not about poses, but the ones where you are laying on top of the (pseudo) bed, with the fingers of the hands that are going to be intertwined, are amazing (e.g. 6:48-6:50). @Peter: these photographs must be in BW, they are a really good example of the impact of BW in the brain.

[@sergkraft4084]

Анька няшка!!! 😍🥰😍😍

[@huyked]

6:15 I totally appreciate that big bottle of gas he uses for the heater to warm the model; very considerate. :D

[@ego-shooters]

Interesting that your opinion on Capture One is that it's sliders are too aggressive, that's exactly how I feel about Lightroom when it comes to people photography. I never used Hasselblad though, so I am missing that comparison. Really intersting, need to check that.

[@RS-Amsterdam]

Great video. Love it when you're shooting whilst barbecuing Ana hehehehe It's suppose to be spring down under what's happening with the heather and Bec wearing a dead bear. Anyways , thanks for sharing !

Thanks for this and now I just need a few things to got with the Lightroom I use, first thing a Leica and then a big monitor so I can see wht I am doing

[@realamericannegro977]

Do you use adobe cc?

[@andrefelixstudio2833]

Nice video as I am sure a lot of guys are using Adobe Light Room, here in Los Angeles a lot of us fashion photographer’s are still lock into using Capture one software at clients request ‘s. I do find that it’s a bit quicker than using Lightroom! But It’s what were you need there all just tools! I like the fact that you used an old lens in order to accentuate your result!

[@ilja4420]

Yep, now all are using c1

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks for sharing, but I hate the over digital look in C1, but that's just me

[@herobear]

Cool

[@johnkasianowicz6536]

Hi Peter. It was great to see you shoot with the Leica SL-2. I have one and several other Leicas (M11, Q2 Monochrom, & CL) and enjoy their simplicity. Have you tried Leica’s Thambar-M 90 mm f/2.2 yet? I just picked one up and it certainly wouldn’t be confused with a clinically sharp lens. The excess spherical aberration can be tweaked with both the aperture setting and an included central spot filter. I’ve only started testing it with landscape shots thus far, but it looks like a fun lens. I’m looking forward to using it in portraits. Do you use a Really Right Stuff Quick-release plate with a cable anchor on the SL-2? I didn’t on a Nikon D810 and the cable socket on the camera failed quickly.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

I love really right stuff and use it with more like your hasselblad and Sony and I also love the is like a 90mm F2

[@szubal]

Glamorous.

How do you set up channels in Lightroom? After all, it does not have a channel mixer tool like Photoshop. Thank you, Peter.

another great shoot! i just played with my 5D3 and LR 5.7 (yeah, ive got an OLD version) and it loaded images kind of slow. would an HDMI cable be faster than the USB connection do you think?

Does tethering in Lightroom actually work now?! I just downloaded the update, but haven’t tested tethering in years. Is it only this smooth with dng? Guess I’ll test it today.

[@christopherjamesboudoir]

Those photos are absolutely gorgeous, and I learned how to get the Green Channel in lightroom for myself, lol. I always learn something. 😀 I was wondering though, does your Leica have the similar function as your Sony where it will highlight the areas that are the most in focus or are you going completely manual here?

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Awesome to hear :) yeah the Leica has focus peaking too but I tend to use the lower settings so you see the least amount in focus

[@Neopulse00]

Yeah Leica for awhile has had a close partnership with Adobe since they output DNGs. I guess I'll check it out one day.

[@daemon1143]

Ah, but can you get your trademark halo as easily as you can in the hasselblad software? Lightroom's grain is a bit blah I think and goes from nothing to 1000 ASA news print in an eighth of an inch.

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

I dont use clarity in Lightroom I use radial masks

[@williamgiasi2365]

Hello i am using lightroom classic 10.1.1 ver and trying to use the tether feature to my SL 601 but it was not detected at all, tried to restart and etc, i was using PTP mode, and the cable is worked but the lightroom can not detect it. Any advice?

Yes they are designed to be used in factories and warehouses

[@paul_meulemans]

Until I watched this video I didn't know why my Leica wasn't recognized by lightroom. So I was forced to use capture one. But after installing the plug in I can tether. Next shoot I'm gonna try it out.

[@macgyver5108]

3:05 oh dear, 'editing" things out at all?! LOL! One of the photography forums I _was_ in, a talented young lady posted a few shots she'd taken and _ASKED_ for some constructive criticism. I told her the shots looked great composition wise, but in one really close up shot the subject's eyebrows had a couple oddball stray hairs that well, looked ODD and out of place! I suggested a bit of Photoshop or even plucking them with tweezers and some crazy old never-been-loved bat pops out of the woodwork claiming "how DARE you body-shame!"?! Ummm sorry lady, but you're using big strong words, yet you've no clue what their meaning is! And besides, the photographer _asked_ for honest professional opinions! FYI lady, body shaming is about degrading remarks about things you _can't_ change without exercise or surgery, not something you can pluck or shave in seconds... I bet you don't like bearded men either do you now? BODY SHAMER! For some reason her own medicine made her quite mute after that?!🙃

[@macgyver5108]

Oh, I also _freely offered_ to touch up her photos in Photoshop as well, which she gladly took up my offer!

[@alanvandever9683]

I always enjoy your videos but I have to laugh, you didn't use a Hasselblad this time because it's out of range for most of us, so instead, you use a Leica with an antique lens? What about a Nikon or Canon?

[@PeterCoulsonPhotographer]

Thanks, I didn't use the Hasselblad because it's the only camera that works with Phocus and I wanted to use a software more people have and can use which is Lightroom. I don't own a Nikon or Canon but I have a bunch of other tutorials using my Sony :)
