First video of Photographing Scale Models series is now up ...

Paul,

Nicely done. 

Particularly the use of TIFF files.  I've often had the hardest time convincing folks to edit in .tif.  Your explaination was concise and well stated.

Good luck with the rest of your videos.

Very informative overview, Paul. I'll be looking forward to the next installment in the series.

I've been struggling with my techniques.  I'm certainly looking forward to this series!

Is there any advantage to tiff over the native file format of your editor?

Very informative. I am looking forward to seeing more of these.

Paul is correct. I was advocating converting JPEGS to TIFFS when the original capture was a JPEG to avoid the continual file compression Paul excellently points out in the video.

PSD files for those working in Photoshop are the way to go of course.  I mentioned going the TIFF route since it is a universal format regardless of software.  I usually do a final output to TIFF as an additional archived file.

I often work with TIFFs directly since they support Photoshop layers, etc. and I always edit using Photoshop adjustment layers. It depends on deadlines, etc.

Here is the second one ...

Another very informative video.

Was never aware of the mirror lock option and how it could help decrease camera shake.  Reading up on my Nikon D3100, supposedly when using the rear screen view to focus, this will lock the mirror open?

These are excellent videos packed with good information. I love the retro camera adds too. Nicely done. 

I have moved these videos to my new channel ...

Paul, I finally took the time to visit your channel. You have some very good and useful how to videos. I learned some things. I would encourage people to review them.

Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
