The Power of Masking Pt. 4 ⬇️ For this shot I used object selection on the train to help it pop, combined with linear gradients to help further draw the viewers eye there as the main subject. I also added a radial gradient to give the train’s light that glowing effect, and a sky selection to help bring in those natural sunset colors. I then used a brush to dodge and burn across the entire image for selective contrast and depth. Its all about leveraging these tools to make sure the viewer’s eye goes right where you want it 👌 Here are a few more tips to help improve your masking: • Object Selection: Helps isolate your main subject and apply precise adjustments to both it as well as the background. • Radial Gradients: Perfect for enhancing light sources, like the glow from the train’s headlight or light from the sun. • Dodge and Burn: Adds depth and contrast selectively to create a more dynamic scene. #photoedit #photoediting #lightroomedits #lightroomtutorials #losangeles #urbanlandscapephotography #cityphoto
The Power of Masking Pt. 5 ⬇️ For this shot, I used linear filters to lift the shadows and exposure in the darker half of the image, creating a more balanced look overall. I also used radial gradients to draw attention to the area where most of the key elements were featured. I utilized object selection masks on the boats to help them pop, then finished off by dodging and burning with the brush tool to add selective contrast, bringing depth and detail to the entire composition. Here are a few more tips to level up your masking: Linear Filters: Great for controlling exposure across specific sections of your image, perfect for lifting shadows in darker areas. Radial Gradients: Use these to emphasize important focal points, like a boat or your main subject. Dodge and Burn: Apply selectively to create depth and contrast, enhancing the mood of your photo. #photoedit #photoediting #lightroomedits #lightroomtutorials #sunsetphoto
Pretty dang good if you ask me! With the Hasselblad X2D’s 5-axis, 7-stop in-body image stabilization, I’ve been able to capture handheld photos down to shutter speeds as slow as 1 second — no tripod needed. Pair that with its 100MP sensor and you’ve got some seriously crispy photos! Settings: 20mm, 0.3s, f/13, ISO 100. #Hasselblad #X2D #Photography #beach #slowshutter #longexposurephotography
The Power of Masking Pt. 6 ⬇️ For this shot, I used multiple radial gradients around the sun to amplify its natural glow and create a soft, warm atmosphere. I then applied linear gradients at the top, bottom, and center of the image to pull attention towards the middle while bumping the highlight levels on the fog. Lastly, I used dodging and burning to add selective contrast and bring depth to the photo. Here are some more tips: Radial Gradients: Perfect for highlighting areas with soft, natural transitions that draw the eye without harsh edges. Linear Gradients: Use strategically to guide focus and accentuate light direction, especially helpful for landscapes and cityscapes. Dodge and Burn: Add selective contrast to your scene by emphasizing shadows and highlights. #photoedit #photoediting #lightroomtips #lightroomtutorial #sunsetlovers #landscapephotography
iPhone 16 Pro Max at 24mm vs. Sony A1 with the 24-70mm at 24mm. Can you tell the difference? 📸 In Frame: @nat seth BTS: @Kyle Huber The real question though... is did I swap the pictures? #iphone16promax #iphone16 #shotoniphone #sonya1 #sonyalpha #portraitphotography #mobilephotography
How to Create this famous Dolly Zoom Effect with Photos 🎥📸 Ever wondered how to create this trippy video effect? Here's how I did it using four different lenses and a car as my subject: 1. Pick Your Subject: I used a car positioned at a front 45-degree angle to really show how the different focal lengths affect its look. You can use any subject you want! 2. Select Your Lenses: I used a range of lenses to capture this effect: 12mm-24mm, 24mm-70mm, 70mm-200mm, and 100mm-400mm. In total, I took 18 photos, equally spaced out from 12mm to 400mm. 3. Set Up Your Shots: Start at the closest point to your subject with the widest lens (12mm). For each shot, switch to a longer focal length (progressively zooming in) and move the camera further back to maintain the same framing of the car. 4. Move Back While Zooming In: As you change lenses and zoom in, keep moving backwards while keeping the car the same size in the frame. This is key to creating effect. Focus on keeping your camera steady to ensure smooth transitions and alignment between each shot. 5. Post Processing: Finally, organize the shots in sequential order watch as the background stretches and compresses around your subject! What do you think of this effect?

The Power of Masking Pt. 8 🎨 For this shot, I used multiple radial filters coming from the right center to naturally build up the light source. When the sun is directly in frame, layering radials like this softens its glow, creating a dreamy and realistic effect. I also warmed up and added some haze to the radials to enhance the golden hour look. To guide attention to the wave, I used linear gradients to shape the composition, and I finished with dodging and burning to bring out depth and contrast for that final touch👌 Here’s how you can use these different masking techniques on your own photos: 🌟 Radial Gradients: Bring your light source to life with warmth and softness. 🌊 Linear Gradients: Shape and balance your frame. 🎨 Dodge & Burn: Add contrast and dimension to make your subject pop. #photoedit #photoediting #lightroomtips #sunsetphotography #landscapephotography #lagunabeach
In honor of the Pacific Air Show, here are a few of my favorites from last year. This was my first time photographing an air show, what do you think? All shots are taken with the Sony 100-400GM from the beach. #pacificairshow #airshow #airshowphotography #sonyalpha #aerialphotography #visithuntingtonbeach
