Shooting, culling and editing of day/dusk exteriors at a Hilton in Seattle

51 minute video.

In this video I show a behind the scenes look, narrated, on some exterior daytime and dusk images I shot for the Hotel Theodore in Seattle, a Hilton Tapestry Hotel. I walked through how I framed with my GFX100 II and a 30mm tilt shift, how I stitched top and bottom panels, and how I shot drone frames with bracketing, along with a look at editing.

In post I used Capture One and Photoshop to remove wires, cars, and a ton of people, sometimes by shooting 15 to 20 near identical frames then using layering to remove each person image by image. Don't worry, all explained!
