HIGHLIGHTS
▶ “ If you want to be good at sports photography, you must know the game. You can't track the ball. That's the most important thing. You have to know where the ball is going next.”
▶ “I wish it was 10x, but I'll take the 5x. But once it gets to the 10x, I think the game's over for travel photography. Cause then you will get the promise that we were promised with mirrorless. We were promised it would be lighter. It wasn't. I had this little stick, my Platypod, and a little holder, and I was set. So, I started to see where, okay, we're getting there to produce the results that you needed.”

HIGHLIGHTS
▶ “ That's the key with noise reduction, and till a few years ago, a lot of noise reduction just really blurred or softened your image. It really wasn't removing the noise where this is wiping out the noise. It's like you shot that shot at 12800 ISO and it's like you wiped it down to like 800 ISO or 400 ISO. It's like you just wiped out the noise. That's crazy stuff. ”
▶ “So what we've done for many, many years in Photoshop was we would go to Photoshop, duplicate the layer, apply a ton of sharpening and then take the paintbrush and mask out all the skin. It took forever, but we had to do it. Believe it or not, Lightroom has a feature that will do all of that for you automatically on a slider, and it's brilliant.”

HIGHLIGHTS
▶ “ There were people who had been caught winning major competitions before AI existed that set up the shot, added things that weren't there, took things out, added things in Photoshop. They've done all kinds of things that they've been caught with. AI makes it easier, but at the end of the day, if you're going to be a cheat, you're going to be a cheat.”
▶ “Everything's changing. And we have to adapt to these changes. We have to learn these things if we want to be successful and continue doing what we love. We have to make sure that we adapt to AI.”

HIGHLIGHTS
▶ “ I do the profile first. If I shoot in RAW, I'm going to switch the profile, and then I work on the thing that annoys me the most. So generally, it's whatever the most egregious thing is in the photo. That's what I do next because the order isn't really that important. But what's great about Lightroom is it's non-destructive. You can work on any order you want.”
▶ “We're not adding a fake sky. That's the sky that was there, but we're just, I usually try to balance it out with the rest of the image. Like I don't want to make it too dark or something crazy. I want to kind of just balance it out with the rest of the image, and that doesn't look too bad at all.”
