 A lot of you asked for more videos that show all the crazy stuff you can do with Lumist. This is the first of that video and there’s a couple more to come.
In this video we take a deep look at the Basics of Lumist that are easy but go way beyond basics. This is tone control technique here that people spend a lifetime learning as we dig into the Simple Toolbox module in Lumist and learn how much it can actually do. It the next video we’ll dig deeper into the effects modules of Lumist. If you don’t have Lumist yet you can download it HERE.

As photographers, we learn fast that harsh Sunny light is… hard!
But ultra flat light can be hard too so if you had to choose, which would you pick?
The perspective we have of “beautiful” light is often too narrow; soft sunsets or giant glowing softboxes from the heavens. Those are amazing. But to really master light I think we need to learn to value every type of light and find the unique beauty we can shape from it.
Flat light can be hard with landscapes and environmental scenes and if I’m struggling with that I’ll often try longer exposures to add interest and then do a bit of burn and dodge in post to bring out more subtle contrast points. With portraits, flat light is usually nice. But too flat light is reiterating and feels dull. Remember there’s always a direction with light, so you can use that on the face for a nice soft portrait. But if you need some extra pop juts add little artificial fill light in on the same side as the natural light, adding a bit more lighting ratio on your subject.
In this video, we go out and find some flat light, take some images and then head back to finish up with some post-production to see what we can do with it.

Being from a traditional photography background I’ve had lots of sturdy tripods. But the best tripod is the one you have with you. I decided to find something really versatile that could be used for travel, vlogging and on the go photography. I also wanted a selfie stick. But I did not want to have to carry both. I look at review and solutions and then tried a few out. What I found is an amazing sturdy little tripod that is very easy to pack.
