Photography is my passion, and I would like to share with you my ideas and ways of enjoying this pastime. I shoot mostly architecture, cityscapes, and landscapes and I like to be creative, so join me on my journey.
🤣 you could always get a job with a (dishonest) real estate agent 😇 🙂 Thanks for sharing, quite an amazing transformation. Was interesting to see what PS can do to fix bits not needed these days as I gave up on Adobe when subscriptions started so haven't really watched much Adobe stuff since --- I smelt a rat you might say :( . Still use my old faithful (mine field at times) Lr5 (+ Affinity)
Great Video...Any suggestions to correct or replace the Large Street Light on Right Side... The Light itself seems distorted (Perhaps caused by the particular Lens used)... Thks, Steve
I love, love, love this one. As a matter of fact, it may be my favorite ever! In my mind, I can imagine William Shakespeare walking towards us on the road on the left side OR I can imagine Winston Churchill walking towards us on the sidewalk on the right, carrying a folded umbrella in his left hand, and chomping down on a cigar in his mouth holding it with his right hand. Mary will flip out over this. She'll be showing it to everyone she knows and will be beaming with pride. What a masterpiece!!
Another great and informative video 😀 spotted it late last night but wanted to save it for this morning with a cuppa and a biscuit l think l hav3 watched most of your videos and learn something each time and there are many days out where l look to shoot buildings with intent of making a day to night conversion l’m also quite fortunte to liv3 quite rural and in a elevated location so l get some great skies and are building up quite a collection of stormy, sun rise and sun set skies for use in my attempts at day to night so many thanks for your inspiration and sharing your knowledge hopefully I’ll manage to get on one of your workshops and say thank you in person ….. until them Thank You!
Thank you for your kind words. I am very happy to hear that you will be trying these techniques 😀 My workshop plan for 2025 will be released towards the end of this month...
The remove tool and clone tool, as well as the patch tool can be used without a direct connection to the Adobe servers, so worth exploring what tools you have available to you.
Great job, I live in some older town in Germany too and you inspired me to do just the same (in a much more amateurish way), and I just loved the outcome, so I printed it in DinA2, thanks for your inspiration!
It makes me very happy to know that you have been inspired to follow my style, remember practice makes perfect, and if you are having fun then you have mastered photography 😀
Excellent video, cleared up the workflow problem I was having with my B&Ws. Interesting you mention Laycock and Harry Potter - I think of it as the birth place of photography with Fox Talbot!
Really great video! I DID have an older version of Nik Effects, and have yet to purchase the new version, but will be getting it shortly. What a robust piece of software 🙂. Your stuff looks great, personally I do like the effect of slightly bringing back a hint of color back into an image + selecting specific areas in an image to make adjustments to. Thx. Jamie... 👍😎
Have a look in the notes under the video, as I have a discount code which gives you 10% off, should you wish to purchase Nik 7, and thank you for your compliments
I love your work Jamie , such attention to detail has opened up a whole new way of looking at day time shots. Now I need to look for locations with a rustic look with street lighting, thank you
Thanks for the questions, to answer: iPhones take wonderful pictures, however they use a process called computational exposure, which means that they actually take many photos when you press the button, and then they combine them and produce a great image. This helps with low light, however, as the sensor is very small the pixels have a very shallow light-well, what this means is that as each pixel is so small, the amount of light that is gathered by each pixel is much smaller, the iPhone pixels are 1.22µm whereas my Canon R5 has 4.39µm pixels, as you double the size of the pixels you quadruple the light gathering, this means that the Canon R5 pixels gather approximately 8-9 times the light per pixel, what this translates into is far more dynamic range, meaning that we can recover the shadows more easily, sadly the phone camera has minimal dynamic range, so it is challenging to recover shadows with detail, which is the main requirements for day-to-night processing. So sorry for the long answer but, No iPhones do not make good day-to-night images 😞
You do an AMAZING job at turning daylight photos to night. Your attention to detail is a huge part of your doing such a great job. Thanks for putting out these videos!
I have only just stumbled across this video - without doubt in my opinion the best, the most thorough and clearest b and w video in the history of You Tube - thanks so much
I will check the Freewell link, thank you. No is the answer to Luminar and Capture One as plug-ins, but of course, you can export out to file and then import to Silver efex 😀
Great vid, I'm very much in the habit of working non-destructively, so I can't bring myself to doing all the merging. But when finished, if a file is too big, I'll stamp it in the end. Thanks!
I do sometimes keep the layers, specifically when I know that I may wish to maybe change direction within the editing, but generally, as you have seen I tend to just work towards the final edit, so try to keep the file sizes that little bit smaller 😀
see my original video on how I processed the original image :- ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-pmev7CHOSFk.html&ab_channel=JamieRMathlin
Excellent as always! Learnt a lot. I tried to purchase with 10% discount, I did not get the discount. Is there any code do I have to use it? Please advise.
I've been using Silver Efex since back when Nik was it's own company - before Google bought and vivisected them. I'm so glad DxO has it now and is continuing to improve it! Excellent video, too! 👍
I should know the answer to this given that Ive been using SFX for ages but does the choice of film type override the global (and local?) adjustments? My workflow tends to be applying a preset, fiddling a bit with global and local adjustments and then choose a film type (almost always Agfa Scala). Do you think it would be better to apply a preset, choose a film type and only then make adjustments to whatever the preset and film type have done to the file?
Hi Ian, Choosing film types does not change the local adjustments, but it does change the global adjustment, as it is applied like a mask, meaning that as you move from film type to film type, no change is made to your local adjustments. Once you have used the film type, any changes you make to your local settings will affect the image under the mask, so if you remove the film type, the local settings will remain with your local changes. Hope that makes sense 😀
the only NIK 6 tool i use is silver effects, I'm not sure i need upgrading to NIK 7 i can't see any difference to NIK 6 Silver effects (aqm i wrong???)
Thank you Jamie. I ‘liked’ immediately I heard your slow methodical voice. I guess this works with mono IR photos too? Does in work with Capture One? Subbed.
@@christianpetersen1782 hi, Silver Efex does work with mono IR images, however, you do loose the colour contrast capabilities, as the original image was not in colour. Capture One does not work as a plug in with the Nik Collection, you would need to export from Capture One as a tiff. PNG. Or DNG, then load that image into Silver Efex, that would work fine 👍
@@jamiermathlin I may be misunderstanding but SFX and the other Nik products integrate fine with C1. You choose “Edit with” on the file you want to process, choose SFX and a box will open inviting you to select which format to use (I always use TIFF), it then creates a TIFF version of the file and opens the file in SFX and once you’ve finished click save and it’ll return you back to C1. It also gives you the option to make the TIFF able to be re-edited (in which case you “Open with” rather than “Edit with”). Is that different than LR?
many thanks, as you can see I do the edits directly in the video, nothing planned, and then I see something near to the end that just needs a little change 😀
