PhotoJoseph’s Photo Moments are a short video series that go live every weekday at 9:30am PDT. The topic can be anything photography related… gear, technique, what I’m shooting today, how I edited a photo… whatever! You can watch live at Facebook.com/PhotoJoseph and catch up on past ones here. If you want a question answered in a future Photo Moment, post it on a recent video or announcement on Facebook!

The other day we looked at the LUMIX camera's built-in focus stacking feature https://youtu.be/cC439BngIq4, which is awesome — but what if you want more control? In today's Photo Moment, we'll look at the Focus Bracketing feature, then using those images to focus stack in Photoshop.
No, there are not actual Zebras in your camera. Zebra striping, in the photography world, refers to the camera sensing the amount of light in the exposure and how it displays it to the photographer. It helps you control how “exposed” the shot is. PhotoJoseph also covers a bit of Focus Peaking.
Let's play with the GH5… ever seen in-camera focus stacking? Now you can!
Have you posted a question in the comments on a previous video that hasn't been answered yet? Instead of trying to keep up on all of them, I'm doing something new… every Monday, I”ll answer the unanswered questions. You'll know if your question will be answered in advance as I'll be posting a link to THIS VIDEO in response to your question. Thanks for tuning in!
Have you ever played with macro extension tubes? Let's see what we can do with them, both on normal and macro lenses!
The native iOS YouTube app is rolling out YouTube live to its users. It started out for those with 10k or more followers (of which I'm not!), but it just showed up for me last night. Apparently it's still not available for everyone still, but it appears to be coming! Let's see how it works.
My new GH5 is here; this one in a box! Let's see what's included… granted this box has been passed around the Luminary team a bit, but we can still check it out ;-)
Creating a custom white balance in-camera is easier than ever. But should you use a white card or a grey card to do it?
The last of the series on the Epiphan Pearl-2 (then I have to send this back… oh wait… I left the country… I'm SO not returning this thing). This time we're taking a single 4K video stream and turning into multiple HD feeds. Talk about a great way to do a “three camera” interview, live!
Today we try a simple 4K live stream. Let's see what happens…
It's time to see what this Pearl-2 can do!
