Wednesday Stuff – The Grid, Hatin’ on HDR, And A New Lightroom Video


Hey everyone. Busy day today, so there’s not much in the bloggy world. A couple of things I’ll be up to on Wednesday though:

1) First, my good friend Brian Matiash is here from onOne Software and he’ll be co-hosting The Grid with me today at 4pm EST. Our topic: HDR photo critiques along with some discussion on the world’s continuing love/hate relationship with HDR photography. Brian has some really good views, and I’ve got some thoughts that I’ve been wanting to share on why I don’t process HDR photos anymore. Should get interesting :) You can submit HDR photos for us to critique using this link here.
And you can tune in live at 4pm using this link.

2) Next, I did a new Lightroom video over on my Lightroom website. This comes from a question I got about customizing presets. To help keep you from jumping around websites, I also embedded the video here on the page below if you wanna check it out.

3) Brian, Pete Collins and I saw Looper tonight. I give it a solid 7-ish. It was pretty good and kept me interested enough. I know a lot of people didn’t like the ending, but I was cool with it. Then again, I’m a pretty easy going movie-goer. Give me a big Coke Zero, soft pretzel and some Snowcaps, and I’ll watch anything for two hours and be happy with it :)

Don’t forget to tune in live on The Grid today at 4pm EST. Have a good done!

    Hi Matt,

    I have to confess that I am not a “Grid” watcher. I’m not comfortable with the format. But, I will watch it today because I want to find out why you don’t shoot HDR anymore … hummm? Also, I like Brain and his Innovation Series on onOne web site. I’ve gotten some good tips from him.

    Oh Matt, honestly, I should listen to you more often…! I was exited about this episode, because Brian influenced my workflow a good bit lately with his Perfect Inspiration series. I got to admit, I love HDR and have shot a lot of brackets on my last vacation which included a wedding also. After an awful lot of postprocessing I checked out your point with the information within a raw file. Man, you nailed it! With the new raw converter process version I was able to pull out some amazing stuff of my single raw files in no time. Shame on me, that I didn’t give it a try earlier…!? I guess it simply sounds a lot cooler telling people what awful amount of time you spent on a picture and what sophisticated tools and techniques you used to achieve it… ;)

    Thanks again for lighten my darkness!

      I totally agree. You should definitely listen to me more… Everyone should right ;-)
      Just kidding – thanks though – I’m glad you learned some new stuff :)
