Thank you! I have learned a lot from your tutorials. I look forward to learning more from you in the future
Wonderful tutorial video, very very helpful!
I read on a forum post once (cant seem to find it again) that when in doubt always under expose by 1 stop because it will give you the ability to fill light the RAW file…. do you agree with this statement?
Right, onto tutorial video 3!
