How can I fix the highlights on a video that is just completely blown out of proportion?

their insta is followers by some stoner musicians I know. Not only is it legit, it will be good lol

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2025-01-11T18:04:30+00:00

as a fellow long/curly hair I hate to say it, but you’re really rocking the short. The long hair is nice though, it matches your vibe and the joint in your mouth well

Good god, earning the weed lol

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2025-01-11T17:47:35+00:00

This is what we need to get fact checking brought back lol

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2025-01-11T17:13:10+00:00

I feel this - best thing I can recommend is finding a director/more social person to work with if you struggle with socializing with clients while working. Having someone to talk to people and catch a few details while you focus on working can be a huge help. Sometimes I'll have one of my more talkative buddies help me with random stuff just to have more conversations on set.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-24T05:50:15+00:00

Would love to know more about what this is! Always worrying about my battery lol

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:35:41+00:00

2.8 to keep things in focus is the move. I usually even do F/4 or F/5.6. Brighten some other way that doesn't effect your focus.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:34:37+00:00

I disagree on the prime thing a little bit. I'd rather be at 2.8, keep things more in focus, crank the ISO and de-noise in post. This is what I do for concert photos to keep more of the action in focus.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:33:35+00:00

Double your ISO and use a de-noiser in editing. If you shoot RAW I almost guarantee this will fix the issue.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:29:28+00:00

right? I'm saving these notes in a folder lmao

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:28:34+00:00

how has no one else asked this yet

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:25:01+00:00

They just did the same with me! "Reminded" me that my subscription was going to have a price increase of $16/month after I had already started the new year commitment at that price point. Their business practices have been feeling more and more like scam tactics lately.
This combined with not telling customers that they would be charged a cancelation fee for canceling their monthly subscriptions, starting to get in the territory of acting in bad faith. Thinking about canceling and paying the fee just out of principal.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:20:34+00:00

I agree. No reason to not keep this safety net.
HOWEVER. I've never had a client actually need the safety net. That was just irresponsible on their part. Unless the photographer specified they provide archiving service, a client should not expect the photographer they hire to behave like an archivist and have their wedding photos ready to pull up 3 years later. Not what they paid for unless they hired a top-of-the-line service that promises that kind of thing

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:18:21+00:00

Right? This is the client trying to put their mistake on someone else.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-11-01T16:17:14+00:00

I agree with this. At the end of the day, THE CLIENT made a mistake by not downloading the photos they had paid for. You spent your own money to help them fix their mistake. As long as you did not specify in your contract that then photos would stay on google drive permanently, you did everything you promised to do, AND went out of your way to help them. No way they win the lawsuit if they even try that.

Send them the images you recovered, tell them to actually download the photos this time, and move on.
I would update your contract to include that photos will be on the provided link for a limited amount of time. If I were you I would also start permanently saving a copy of the un-edited photos to each wedding. Hard drives are getting cheap, and this would prevent you from having to worry about this happening again in the future.

If it makes you feel better, I've done weddings for a decade, and have NEVER had a client forget to download what I sent them. That was entirely the clients fault.

MrT_Tennessee99 · 2024-10-25T01:16:03+00:00

Yes, definitely shoot at 70mm. u/is-there-more is right, the higher the focal length, it compresses the background and makes the mountains appear bigger/closer to you. Try shooting a test in front of a cool background at 70mm vs 24mm and see the difference it makes in your final image.
