[@helgefrederiksen4102]

Thx for a wellexplained, and for a foreigner slow-enough spoken, video without annoying background mu...noise. Makes me wanna skip the warm bed in the morning and get out. 😉

Haha thanks for watching!

[@NoDoSwLa]

Thank you. Something from the field and great explanations why you do what 🙏

Great video Mike. Good to see you out there in the landscape again.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thank you so much Richard! I definitely needed the break.

Thanks for watching Dave!

Thanks for the great video Mike. Just did a bunch of these manual focus stacks on my D850. I noticed if I focus toggling in the viewfinder my focus point will record in preview but if I use live view screen it will not. With images in computer and camera present I could look back and see focus points in particular frames. I found this helpful with loads of images.

[@PereaPhotography]

Great insight mark!

Very nice and easy to understand.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thanks Brad!

Since you love shooting the Superstition Mountains so much there is a spot where Brown road ends and turns into dirt. If you head east towards the mountain on that dirt road there is a little hill with a rock quarry and I have yet to run into anyone there, so many potential options for foreground shots and you can even avoid photographing the houses on the bottom of the mountain if you position correctly. There is a shortcut to this from Mountain View Road though it's harder to explain where it's at.

[@PereaPhotography]

Yes I love that spot! I go there pretty often during monsoon season. Thanks!

[@Cihan350Z]

Excellent start and finish workflow, Thank you so much.Maybe i would use my soft ND grad filters for this case.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thank you for watching!

Hi Mike, Is it possible to blend together two images in Lightroom, one sharp and the other long exposure? For example, sharp and frozen in time beach grass or tree leaves, while still having the long exposure of the clouds and/or waves? Thanks for any tips.

[@amritgurung1473]

Thank you for clipping mask idea.

[@PereaPhotography]

Thanks for watching!!

[@jamesgolando8862]

Thanks for another great video. One question, why did you manually focus stack rather than use the in-camera auto focus stack and then take the single exposure for the sky?

[@PereaPhotography]

I just prefer to do it manually. I find the focus shift feature overshoots past infinity. I always have to get rid of 1 or 2 photos. Kid in this scene, I knew I only needed to focus points. I’ve used both, but it’s just my own preference to know where exactly the camera focuses. Either method works!

[@jamesgolando8862]

@@PereaPhotography Awesome! Thanks for the quick reply.

[@tjsinva]

Nice rundown. You can breathe now. Just another reason why I won't be moving to Arizona, big ass hairy tarantulas. 🕷Might as well be a bear. 🐻 Rock on! 👍🥂

[@PereaPhotography]

Haha it’s mating season for them now, too. They’re out more than usual.

[@tjsinva]

@@PereaPhotography Oh boy! A tarantula rut. 🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷🕷

[@tomjodis8670]

Is it safe to assume I cannot do focus stacking just using LRC - that I need to do it in PS?

[@PereaPhotography]

That is correct.

[@jeffschreifels8651]

Starting at about 4:10, why did you glue a cucumber to the front of your lens? 😆

[@PereaPhotography]

🤣

[@manual3600]

Great video just wish we could see what you are seeing on the camera screen.

[@bens9599]

Helpful tutorial-thanks! But man you stressed me out every time you reached toward that cholla! (If you ever visit the desert, don’t touch the cholla. Not even with your boots!) By chance do you conduct any workshops around Phoenix?

[@PereaPhotography]

Haha it wouldn’t be the first time I’ve taken cactus home in my hand, foot, socks or pants 🤣 and I used to do workshops here, but I’ve stopped. Maybe sometime in the future I may start again. Thanks for watching!

[@pride9901]

can you do an iphone tutorial for this please?
