3 Forces *EVERY* Photographer Is Up Against Right Now
Lakescape Photography Podcast: https://youtu.be/gsLBrknupss?si=qUZhhLSinW1kkfNQ Nicholas Albert: https://www.facebook.com/nicholasalbertphotography Daniel Greenwood: https://www.facebook.com/daniel.greenwood.503 Every artist today is up against three things we’ve never faced before: AI, authenticity, and the algorithm. In this video, I share a moment from my own feed where two nearly identical images showed up back-to-back, and the reactions to them couldn’t have been more different. That moment sparked a bigger question: how AI-generated and human-made images are perceived by viewers, and what the algorithm is really rewarding. This isn’t about attacking AI or defending one type of art over another. It’s about understanding the world we’re creating in, and where we still have control as artists. If AI can generate images and the algorithm decides what gets shown, authenticity may be the only thing we have left.

Adobe Just LEVELED UP Color Grading in Photoshop
Become an f.64 Elite Member (5 Day Free Trial): www.f64.co/elite Photoshop just added a new Color and Vibrance adjustment. On the surface, it looks simple: temperature, tint, vibrance, saturation. But it does a lot more than it seems. In this video, I show you why this little panel changes how I think about color in Photoshop. By the end, you’ll see why I call this thing a hidden color engine, not just another slider. If you want to go deeper, I’ve been using this tool a lot in recent critique sessions inside f.64 Elite. You can always hop in, look around, and leave if it’s not for you.

10 Habits That Will Instantly Improve Your Wildlife Photography
If you want better wildlife photos, it’s rarely about buying new gear. The biggest improvements come from building better habits in the field. In this video, I break down 10 habits that instantly improve wildlife photography, whether you’re photographing birds, mammals, or anything in between. These aren’t tricks, presets, or camera hacks. They’re field-proven wildlife photography habits that raise your baseline and make you more consistent every time you lift the camera. We’ll cover things like: • A habit you should do with your settings every time • Leveraging the rear LCD for more impact • How to get more emotional wildlife photos • What to look for and avoid in backgrounds before pressing the shutter • How to catch peak moments • When to shoot environmental wildlife images - and when not to • Using backlight and rim light for dramatic wildlife photos • Moving beyond field-guide style images • Leveraging underused camera features for wildlife photography • Spending more time in the field to build real photographic skill These are the same habits I use in real wildlife photography situations and teach in my workshops. You don’t need to master all ten at once. If you commit to even a few of these wildlife photography field habits, you’ll start seeing better results almost immediately. Whether you’re looking to jumpstart your wildlife photography this year or you just feel like you’ve hit a plateau, these habits will help you shoot more intentionally, anticipate better moments, and come home with stronger images. New to wildlife photography or looking to improve bird photography, animal photography, or nature photography? These habits apply across all genres of wildlife work. #wildlifephotography #wildlifephotographytips #wildlifephotographer #birdphotography #naturephotography #photographyhabits #photographytips #naturephotographer #animalphotography #wildlifephotos Other videos: Backgrounds: https://youtu.be/4_KH-j0KO9c Histograms: https://youtu.be/KLyxfJmaoz8 Pre-Capture : https://youtu.be/3zBW8kI0rVY Linktree: https://backcountrygallery.com/linktree/

Pre-Capture Explained: Secrets Most Wildlife Photographers Miss!
Pre-Capture might be the most misunderstood feature in modern wildlife photography. Many photographers turn it on, use it once for birds taking off, and never touch it again. That’s a huge mistake. In this in-depth, brand-agnostic guide, I break down exactly how Pre-Capture works, when to use it, when to turn it off, and how to set it up so it actually helps instead of wrecking your buffer and filling your cards with junk frames. We’ll cover: What Pre-Capture really is and how it works in the buffer When Pre-Capture makes sense for wildlife photography Why you should NOT leave Pre-Capture on all the time Pre-Capture recording time and why 0.3 seconds is the sweet spot Autofocus modes and AF areas that work best with Pre-Capture Subject Detection pros and cons for fast action Real-world field techniques for birds, mammals, and unpredictable wildlife behavior Battery life, buffer limits, and memory card considerations Common Pre-Capture FAQs photographers always ask If you’re only using Pre-Capture for birds taking off, you’re missing most of its power. From fish tosses and wing stretches to split-second animal behavior, this feature can completely change how you approach fast wildlife moments. This video applies to Sony, Nikon, Canon, OM System, and other mirrorless cameras that offer Pre-Capture or Pre-Shutter Capture features.

Fix Skin Tones: The ONLY Way that Works 100% – Photoshop Tutorial
Master the right way to fix, match, and enhance skin tones in Photoshop, and learn the only approach that works 100% of the time, no matter the image, lighting, or subject. 🚀 Join PiXimperfect Pro - The Ultimate Photoshop Training Course: https://pix.live/pro In this video, I’ll walk you through a complete real-world example to show why skin tones are never about fixed steps or magic sliders, but about understanding what’s wrong, what needs to be fixed first, and what truly needs enhancement. You’ll learn how to diagnose color casts, deal with uneven and mismatched tones, equalize skin naturally without making it look fake, and enhance it while still preserving human variation and character. Instead of memorizing settings, we’ll focus on concepts, decisions, and the thought process behind every adjustment, so you can confidently apply the same approach to any portrait you work on. If skin tones have ever felt confusing or inconsistent in your edits, this video will help you see them clearly. I hope this video helps you.

Generative AI to Graphic Design: The Primate Poster Tutorial
Download tutorial assets here: https://www.nucly.com/primate-poster-tutorial In this tutorial, I walk through the full process of recreating the Primate movie poster — starting with generative AI to create a chimpanzee wearing a T-shirt, then moving into Photoshop to build the final graphic poster design. We focus heavily on style and control, not just AI output. You’ll see how to take an AI-generated image and push it into a bold, high-contrast movie poster using Photoshop techniques that actually hold up in real design work. Topics covered: • Using generative AI to create a usable character base • Cleaning and prepping AI imagery for design • Gradient Maps for controlled color styling • Combining Difference, Hard Mix, and Linear Light blending modes • Building a gritty, graphic poster look • Typography placement and negative space for impact This is a practical workflow for designers who want to use AI without losing creative control — and avoid the “AI slop” look. — Don’t forget to SUBSCRIBE and turn on notifications!
