I believe your videos are more recent, for the most part.
They are REALLY helpful, so by all means keep them going. One point to do when you have a bunch of time is normalize the volume on the videos with Audition or something. The sound is terrible loud in some and much milder in others.
[DIGLLOYD: two macOS bugs really screwed me, I am aware of them now and pre-test. The sound quality is fine in all of them, but a few I got whacked by macOS bugs leading to needing a volume boost during playback.]I have some hundreds of videos on YouTube and I have not done this for some of my own, too lazy and too long to reload, etc. Yet, someday it should happen, IMO.
Meanwhile I have been learning A LOT from your videos and other stuff. Not sure how you advertise you subscriptions. We might discuss, but IMO, what you have here essentially is a sophisticated course or school in photography. If you have not pitched that, I suggest you might want to. It has almost everything one needs to learn pro photography all in one spot. Anyway, Good Job!

The weather is warming, so I am able to get outside with heavier equipment and not freeze…although the wind is high. I can immediately see I know very little about landscape photography, which you obviously know a lot about. Retouching landscape stacks is quite different than close-up retouching… I am finding. Your “infinity frame” is an imperative. I don’t do that in closeup. Thanks!
If there are any Zerene Stacker scripts you are willing to share, that would help. I am pretty much humbled by my first landscape outing. Much to learn.
I have spent the last many years placing my archives in various universities. I just placed the last archive, which are my photos. The Ann Arbor Public Library has created a new archive section and I have been working with one of their main archivists for years. They have a lot of my writing about Ann Arbor, mostly about the 1950s, 1960s, and forward. I kept waiting for someone to write this stuff and no one did, so I did. Anyway, they are accepting over a million photos from me, many images of course are stacks…….I have… and have to cull out the resulting frames from all the layers. I have sent them…. for starters some 500 images by categories. I include a photo of the categories for now.
I really want to learn more about landscape photography, which is why I am studying your work, which are really good instructions. Again, thanks. I include a photo of the categories.
DIGLLOYD: how-to videos are found in most of my publications now. Most of them are located in Making Sharp Images eg this listing of just videos in MSI.
