My name is Simon d'Entremont and I'm a professional wildlife and nature photographer from Eastern Canada. This video will show you how to use exposure bracketing to get the right exposures in high dynamic range scenes.

I use Topaz Labs software for noise reduction, sharpening and upscaling:

    Hi Simon, my name is Artur, 16 years old, and I am also a fellow Canadian photographer. I found your channel a little over a month ago and I haven’t watched photography videos with such great advice and quality. I have been photographing for 4 years now and your channel has helped my photography tremendously. After watching your videos I feel more confident that I am able to do the things that have seemed like a stumbling block in the past, such as composition and post processing. You’re the first YouTuber I am actually going to subscribe to. Thanks for the great content and keep it up
  • @RG-rm9jt
    Finding that line between over-editted and under-editted can be tricky for beginners. 100% agree that it's a personal taste and there is no "right" answer. Have confidence, and never apologize for having your own style. Andy Warhol and Rembrandt and Monet are all completely different, but they're all wonderful in their own way.
  • @lesdanser489
    Even when I am familiar with the topic, I still learn things that I never really even thought about from your concise instructional videos. You really make the complex simple. Thank you, Simon!
  • @tominthetux
    What a masterclass of knowledge so wonderfully wrapped up in a great video. Simon, thank you once again for helping us become better photographers!
  • @jimbruton9482
    Once again Simon, you have demonstrated methods to improve one's photography via understanding what your specific gear and software is capable of, then using those features. You don't need to go out and spend thousands on new gear. Just know what you have and take advantage of it. Bravo!
  • @hellopsp180
    WOAH that transform thing you did to the lighthouse was insane at 11:00
  • @trrivard
    Would 100% watch a livestream of Simon editing more of his photos. Great info, very educational, and not to mention cathartic looking at a photo you thought was headed for trash be turned into not just salvageable but very nice!
  • @ilesmic
    Your positivity in teaching is very welcomed-- I have been using bracketing for quite some time and almost always use it on my sunrises and sunsets. My only request is some videos of you in the field taking pics. I know those generally are harder to do but I appreciate when you are in the field.
  • @Jecqan
    I see a new video - i press like button :D Now time to check it.
  • @user-qh4gx4xb9z
    I’m always so excited when I see a new Simon video ❤️🧡
  • Every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new, even if the title makes me think it won't be the case... this time it's the transformation tool that I didn't even know existed. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and experience with us.
  • @arkaefortt8
    Thanks again for the wonderful video. I am slowly building my skills thanks to you. I hope you continue uploading tips for photographers.
  • @jasondweber
    I have been wanting to know how to do this for a while! I love your videos Simon! You teach everything in such a simple and easy to understand way. Thank you so much for charing your knowledge!!!
  • @MoChuang343
    Haven't watched yet, but just came to say the new thumbnail is worth it. Your face is worth more to me than a side by side comparison. I saw the old thumbnail and scrolled past. I didn't realize it was you until I check my subscriptions feed and saw the same video there.
  • @rappy90
    When I do bracketing shots lately I've found myself manually deciding the shutter for exposure rather than selecting the bracket option in camera. I'll sometimes take up to 5 exposures to really get that range in.
  • @golgo6377
    Just started doing this yesterday you're a savior as always....
