   So, Matt, do you no longer shoot with graduated neutral density filters? Looks like we can accomplish the effect better in Lightroom.

   Hi Matt
   Thanks for another great video. You talk about “exposing for the foreground”, please may I ask, what do you mean?
   Thanks again
   Wendy

   This helps. I am a visual learner and you provide such good visuals. I will have to watch and practice but I will get there.

      Hey Colin. Thanks. Yes, your raw photos would have some more wiggle room when it comes to shadows and highlights. But try it on JPEGs too. It works on anything. Just may work better on some.

    Great tip for using the shadow slider. I used to use the brush. Now the shadows slider is the thing!

    I would really enjoy doing some 1 to 1 or small group training with you. I am a pro who does work for Vineyard and Wine Industry publications. I do not see on your site that you are still doing this type of training.

    Thanks for the video Matt. I enjoy reading your blog.

    I see people pull back the highlights 100% and pull up the shadows 100% all the time. That is going to result in color shifts and other artifacts. A better approach is to blend in a darker exposure using luminosity masks in Photoshop. You’ll get much better results.

    Thanks for the tip, Matt. I am guilty of using the highlights slider ( could I possibly have learned it from you on other videos back in the day )? I love these short videos. They don’t take long to watch but there’s so much information. Thanks again.

      My comment about learning to use the slider from you was “tongue in cheek”. I added a smiley so that you knew I was kidding, but it didn’t show once I submitted the comment.

      What I great tip. I live at the beach and lots of images are water and sky conflicting, especially at sunset. Never thought of the pulling up the shadows. Thanks. I am a long time fan so thanks for all the past tips.
