Hey guys! I appreciate the kind words and the valuable feedback! Mine is the image at 15 min. To address Lee and Elia's questions, this image was taken in a complete torrential downpour. I cannot post the out-of-camera shot here, but it looks very similar to the final. I brightened up the exposure a bit, and increased the saturation and contrast on the island. Everything else, the fog, rain, atmosphere was right place right time. f22, 1/4, ISO 100 at 73mm, Canon 6D, 24-105mm lens, plastic rain cover for cam.
This image was great and it's very artistic, and the success of the image is that people keep guessing "how did he do it" - an emotion of curiosity, thanks for posting.
Most of these photos was rated 1 star by people voting others down to win the tutorials. None of these shots were above four, while some of them definitely deserved a 4.5 if not a 5! :)
I love how Elia has been pretty much everywhere. “Yeah this was shot from the right side of that lake. On top of the third rock from the left of the downed tree. Photographer was squatting and it was at 5:27pm on a Wednesday”
One of my favorite critique episodes. I like the briefer analysis. I like that Elia clearly knows what he's talking about. And I love landscape photography.
Maximilian James K They have basicly the mainstream ”extreme sunset powerful wideangle” taste, and vote up, what looks cool from a fast glance, but don’t let the creative, artistic and tasteful photos slowly speak
it's not that, just so many people rate images poorly because they want their own images to stand out more. in their imaginations voting poorly on other images will somehow help them.
Veltto123 - I'm so bored of long exposure, naturally colored, wide angle, vertical shots with rocks in the foreground and a tree/waterfall/ocean in the back. Those all just look like basic wallpapers that come with your laptop. I prefer shots that use color and perspectives more creatively like the aerial view that Lee liked.
tskwared667 Same here. It's extremely hard to stand out with those shots anymore inside a photography community. It's interesting to see where the photography trends are going to head next
Mare Vare - i don't own a drone, and that shot didn't have to be taken with one. It could easily have been taken from a higher ridge with a telephoto lens. I'm just saying I'm tired of the same old high-contrast, focus stacked, and 'technically' perfect windows desktop looking photos. They don't have any character to me, they just look like they belong in a motivational poster or a hanging on a hotel wall
Thanks guys, shot at 27:00 is Český Krumlov as mentioned below. It's a handheld pano shot with a 50mm lens in the rain so not a planned shoot - I was just on holiday, not sure why it would be blurry as the full size image is very large and detailed (although is iso 6400 with noise reduction - Sony A7). Interesting points on colour possibly toning down the orange/yellows and tweaking wb, no HDR was used - I personally wanted the view right from the buildings on the left but can see how re positioning would work. Great pics overall and nice format for the video.
15:14 I think thats a long exposure shot during rain, you can see the textures in the water thats why it looks like its blured but its not acutally. One of the best shots in this critique
The guy on the right what's he on , in the abstract image thats obviously in water not snow he said he would like to see blue in the image if its water . Since it is a grey sky and water refects what's going on in the sky I doubt you would see blue in it . Not sure if this guy should be reviewing images ;-) .
Oh my gosh! I'm going to Chile in September, going to Santiago, Northern Chile, and Patagonia! I wish the tutorial was coming out before I go for inspiration but I'm excited to see it!
Maybe it's just because it's in video, but #5 looks like a composite image to me. the foreground looks like its cut and paste on top of the mountain. Probably just because its in video but looks odd.
Rath Empire I think the clouds are comped in too, just 3 totally deliberate landscape photos. Surprised they don't notice it, especially since the entire thing was in focus
BTW this is Macchapuchare, sitting next to Annapurna, shot from Poon Hill (I can do the Elia "been there", too!). And yes, there are ridges in the foreground.
The shot with the lava . Did you find out if it was two exposures? Very interesting piece. I see a flag behind the runner making me feel that it could have been some sort of marathon. I don't think they would set up a marathon run next to an active volcano. That would be some harsh sulfur to be breathing in.
It was nice having Elia chime-in on Critique the Community. I remember when you had one of his images in your past episodes, and it didn't do that well. :) Case-in-point that there are no firm rules and these ratings are totally subjective. Still fun. Oh yeah, the Dell XPS 4K has a higher resolution display than the MacBook Pro Retina display - just saying since Elia was complaining.
The island shot is fog or smoke everywhere, and the water is reflecting the fog/smoke color. I saw a scene somewhat similar and my passenger wouldn't let me stop and take a photo. It was probably the best most unique photo opportunity I've ever seen and I missed it.
Yup. And it doesn’t just work for Olive Gardens. I’ve shot some amazing angles on both Applebee’s and Tony Roma’s with Elia’s help. And you could go even further outside the box: Panda Express? dunk’n donuts? We are only limited by our imagination.
It seems that the journey to recognition as a landscape photographer involves visiting a series of canonical places. This reviews shows locations like Venice, Bromo, Norway, Iceland, and the Czech Republic for example. It's a bit like a global quest. I've been to the place in Bromo where the photograph was taken, and they have built a viewing platform. The same with Padar Island in Komodo resort. So does this mean that for these global hotspots, composition is irrelevant, and the differentiation comes from technical differences like compositing, time lapse, focus blending and time blending?
it is not just the composition that is irrelevant. the images are irrelevent as well. they are all the same, chocolate-box cover images. people seem to have, on average, lost the courage to try something different. they will watch the tutorials of photographing a location, go there and just repeat the same image everybody takes. i bet there are tripod marks in the ground on those locations and you can just put your tripod in the exact same spot as all the photographers before you. the problem however is the community that consumes those images that will give thousands of likes to such an (empty and devoid of any emotion or thought put into it) image and give 5 likes to an image they don’t understand. everything has to be obvious, we will not even try to see if there is anything in it beyond the obvious. these currently popular landscape types of images are great for commercial work imho (websites of those locations, hanging on walls in hotels etc.). art they are not. creative they are not.
Yeah. I'm not sure that we are experiencing the slow death of landscape photography mind you. Some of those shots, the lake, the island in the rain, the fire and the helicopter certainly break out of the chocolate box. www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2018/may/16/gdt-nature-photographer-of-the-year-2018-in-pictures gives me some food for thought...not strictly landscapes though, and I don't understand why the winner was considered such a strong image.
Did you not listen to the beginning of the tutorial? They said they wouldn't be able to upload until they got home lol they wouldn't have been able to contact you until they got home.
I find that my opinion in "Critique the Community" videos is rarely in line with the grades set by the authors. In fact I often do not like images graded 4 or 5 and sometimes find really interesting those graded 2 or 3. Maybe I have a bad taste, I do not know.
It's hard to have any real judging these days because its more of a popularity contest. If you have 10 friends that all go an give you 5 stars and then they go and give all your competitors 1 star, that's not a true rating.
I was just in Conguillio National Park in Chile! It's probably going to be the next video I put out. I'd like to see the image Locardi got while there let me know where I can find it if anyone knows...
I’m a bit suprised you are critical about the sharpness in some pictures. As long as it’s in focus I don’t really mind the resolution. There are really great pictures that are not high res or even analogue but if the subject is interesting and the mood is there, I don’t see how more pixels make it better. Unless it’s supposed to be displayed really big on a wall ofc
The 4th? Picture with the running dude and the lava is a composite... Some one the lava has motion blur and the runner doesn’t So those 2 parts are not taken with the same shutter speed
Not true. If his foot was solidly on the ground he would be in "stasis" and not moving that quickly. Also, the lava is probably exploding faster than the runner. if he shot it at 1/300 or 1/500 it's very possible the lava was faster but the runner was frozen.
I believe the photo of the lake (the abstract one with it centred) is taken from the Pen Y Fan ridge in Brecon, Wales UK. The little lake being Llyn Cwm Llwch.
I agree with Lee on the photo where he gave it a 4 and Elia a 2. It draws the eye in and the topography of the area really helps the center composition.
11:08 I would love to know where this one is shot. Just looks like a landscape you could picture dinosaurs walking around in or something. I would give it a 3 for location alone to be honest.
I love open critiques. It helps people see what they didn't initially. Maybe people should include metadata when submitting, then you can get a better idea of what they were adjusting to.
About 6.30 in, the city image. Cutting out the bottom 20 % AND 15 - 20 in the left side, would make this a killer image. Makes the river lead up to the city 👌
That helicopter/forest fire image could have easily been a 5/5 if the colors just weren't so over-tweaked. It's really easy to go overboard with things like contrast, hues and saturation. If the colors looked a bit more natural, this would make a great portfolio piece.
Don’t think 2 people should win a toturial. Maybe 1 should and a random photo could get a tutorial as well. If you have the best photo out of all those, you don’t really need the tutorial
It's a reward...like a prize. So photo contests should reward the worst photos not the best? If you haven't caught on, their "reward" or "prize" is really just a marketing tool for FStoppers on these videos to get more people aware of the tutorials.
I loved the image of mountain with lenticular cloud, probably image no.4, but Elia didn't ! It would be interesting if this same image is processed by Elia from RAW and we see it coming to best potential, as for me it can be a 5* if processed properly and some empty sky from the top is trimmed.FS Please do it.
Yeah, it's our favorite tripod. We did a shoot out video where we explain why it was the best tripod for the money. We traveled with Elia for weeks using 4 super expensive tripods and the Benro was our favorite by the end of the trip.
Alexios Pappas we were going to include Greece this time around but wound up with too many lessons to include Greece in 4. We might have something very different planned for Greece so stay tuned
the 9th photo (I think) one after ht alone island in the midst of all the white... looks like 2 photos merged together.... that horizon is WAY too straight.
Listen Guys i think first shot it might be a composite. some parts of the shot are longer exposure then others. like the water bubles in the center of the shot are to white and creamy showing to much motionblur like milk but the water in buttom of the shot is short exposure showing bubles. also the water droping from the big rock is long exposure like 3 4seconds cuz it formed white milky lines. and we all know long exposure waterfalls look like that. but the splash behind the rock is like 50/1 sec or something like that. enough to almost stop motion so to much for that rating for that. IT FAKE. i can do that in my aquarium
Elia, your knowledge is endless. Thank you Fstoppers to keep believing in yourself and continuing to evolving the project.
Hey guys! I appreciate the kind words and the valuable feedback! Mine is the image at 15 min. To address Lee and Elia's questions, this image was taken in a complete torrential downpour. I cannot post the out-of-camera shot here, but it looks very similar to the final. I brightened up the exposure a bit, and increased the saturation and contrast on the island. Everything else, the fog, rain, atmosphere was right place right time. f22, 1/4, ISO 100 at 73mm, Canon 6D, 24-105mm lens, plastic rain cover for cam.
Awesome shot, my favourite in the critique!
Very nice image!
This image was great and it's very artistic, and the success of the image is that people keep guessing "how did he do it" - an emotion of curiosity, thanks for posting.
Its so minimalistic, i love it.
*very cool kanye*
F22 would explain some of the effect. Definitely a terrific picture. Wish I’d taken it.
Most of these photos was rated 1 star by people voting others down to win the tutorials. None of these shots were above four, while some of them definitely deserved a 4.5 if not a 5! :)
Just like life itself. Greedy people ruin the chances for others. Would be nice to see the results with the one star votes disabled.
I thought the one before last one is one of yours
Mads Peter Iversen That’s sad. Their single vote wont change their chances on winning, maybe 0,01%...
Amila Chathuranga Yeah sadly not, I have yet to see the auroras above Hamnøy, gotta do with composites for now ;)
If anyone doesn’t know who Mads Peter Iversen is, check out his TH-cam channel. It’s one of my favorites.
I love how Elia has been pretty much everywhere. “Yeah this was shot from the right side of that lake. On top of the third rock from the left of the downed tree. Photographer was squatting and it was at 5:27pm on a Wednesday”
More Elia, please. He's so knowledgeable and eloquent.
One of my favorite critique episodes. I like the briefer analysis. I like that Elia clearly knows what he's talking about. And I love landscape photography.
Elia is a great judge. Love his reasoning and explanations.
I like the critique in the outdoors.
So does Lee's butt ;-)
Makes the video's a lot shorter haha.
Want some pro tips for landscape photography? Then go here now: HootLand.xyz
I am absolutely pleasantly blown-away that you guys did the show in a terrifically absorbing settings. No excuse needed, indeed a praise is fitting.
I used to think the community was really harsh, now I just think they have bad taste.

I just wanna be like Elia and when someone shows me a picture of a place im just like "oh yeah ive been there it's gorgeous"
Jared Kinley Thats actually exactly what he says
But isn’t saying that just a kinda scumbag bragging type of response?
Thanks guys, shot at 27:00 is Český Krumlov as mentioned below. It's a handheld pano shot with a 50mm lens in the rain so not a planned shoot - I was just on holiday, not sure why it would be blurry as the full size image is very large and detailed (although is iso 6400 with noise reduction - Sony A7).

Great pics overall and nice format for the video.
27:00 its Český Krumlov in Czech Republic.
Wow, the volcano with the guy running is so cool
Great to see Elia teamed with FStoppers for the 4th series of Landscap Photography tutorial. More teasers please....
I was watching Thomas Heaton in Patagonia... and now this. I wonder how's Tom work would do?
Kamikaze Kurt it's funny, we ran into Tom at least 3 times during this trip. His work is amazing and he is such a nice person as well.
I'd like to see Tom and Elia as hosts for the next landscape critique. Since they have such different styles it be great to hear their perspectives.
YES! That would be awesome!!
Awesome video thank you fstoppers and Elia for inspiring us
15:14 I think thats a long exposure shot during rain, you can see the textures in the water thats why it looks like its blured but its not acutally. One of the best shots in this critique
thank you for your compliment, the image was indeed shot in a tropical rain shower, at 1/4 sec. Not much post process.
U are welcome man, dope shot! I knew that it was shot in rain, so strange that two pro photographers cant tell why the photo looks "blured"
Maxim Ostromogilsky love your image so much ☺️
The guy on the right what's he on , in the abstract image thats obviously in water not snow he said he would like to see blue in the image if its water . Since it is a grey sky and water refects what's going on in the sky I doubt you would see blue in it . Not sure if this guy should be reviewing images ;-) .
Oh my gosh! I'm going to Chile in September, going to Santiago, Northern Chile, and Patagonia! I wish the tutorial was coming out before I go for inspiration but I'm excited to see it!
I've been watching your videos for the last couple of hours, informative and entertaining, thanks! subbed.
Maybe it's just because it's in video, but #5 looks like a composite image to me. the foreground looks like its cut and paste on top of the mountain. Probably just because its in video but looks odd.
Rath Empire I think the clouds are comped in too, just 3 totally deliberate landscape photos. Surprised they don't notice it, especially since the entire thing was in focus
I think it's just shot on a phone and it doesn't capture the DOF between the different layers well
BTW this is Macchapuchare, sitting next to Annapurna, shot from Poon Hill (I can do the Elia "been there", too!). And yes, there are ridges in the foreground.
Which camera was used to shoot the video ? I love the quality. What are the settings used?
Elia always gives great critiques..I respect how he views the photos and offers explanations for what he sees that could have been better..
11:50 you don't see stitching lines or that does not bother you ?
The shot with the lava . Did you find out if it was two exposures? Very interesting piece. I see a flag behind the runner making me feel that it could have been some sort of marathon. I don't think they would set up a marathon run next to an active volcano. That would be some harsh sulfur to be breathing in.
the image at 10:00, could that be a composite? the foreground, to be specific.
It was nice having Elia chime-in on Critique the Community. I remember when you had one of his images in your past episodes, and it didn't do that well. :) Case-in-point that there are no firm rules and these ratings are totally subjective. Still fun.

I heard that I can find a good tutorial of photographing Italy on the torrent sites.
it's fantastic, would highly recommend.
Yup. And it doesn’t just work for Olive Gardens. I’ve shot some amazing angles on both Applebee’s and Tony Roma’s with Elia’s help. And you could go even further outside the box: Panda Express? dunk’n donuts? We are only limited by our imagination.

OMG you are here !!!! in Chile !!! let me know if you are in Santiago.... i can show you some coool places.... cheers !
Did you not listen to the beginning of the tutorial? They said they wouldn't be able to upload until they got home lol they wouldn't have been able to contact you until they got home.
i realllly liked that last photo way more than a 2!

I'm the same. I like the understated ones. So many of them look overprocessed.
The first shot (1:06) are taken by Hans Gunnar Aslaksen from Norway. He is a Nisi Filters ambassador 😊 check him out on Instagram @hansgunnaraslaksen
I was just in Conguillio National Park in Chile! It's probably going to be the next video I put out. I'd like to see the image Locardi got while there let me know where I can find it if anyone knows...
I agreed with Elia on all of them. Photographing the World lesson it is.
Most of this pics are great and deserve a 5
How to join this Community Photo Critique? I mean to enter it. Thanks for the help
second link in the description ;)
I think that the video deserves an 1 out of 5
Wish you guys would give the location of these shots. Context would be helpful.
Angel La Canfora not everyone tells us the location....
I see, thanks for the clarification!
No. 5 is Macchapuchare, Shot from Poon Hill, Nepal.
I’m a bit suprised you are critical about the sharpness in some pictures. As long as it’s in focus I don’t really mind the resolution.

17:17 is live a Salvador Dali painting! that's why the colours are like that and the composition!
I agree with Lee on the photo where he gave it a 4 and Elia a 2. It draws the eye in and the topography of the area really helps the center composition.
11:08 I would love to know where this one is shot. Just looks like a landscape you could picture dinosaurs walking around in or something. I would give it a 3 for location alone to be honest.
22:06 also
I love how in the critique of landscapes, you guys are out of focus. Lol. Lots of great stuff from everyone. Cheers.
Whats wrong with a pond being dead center?
The lenticular cloud pic looks flat, the foreground hills were added (composite pic) and the colors clash.. Just my two cents..!
what kind of tripod was elia using?
Is a "Really Right Stuff" expensive but US made in San Luis Obispo, California , same thing with the ball.
did the clouds every break for you?
29:08 That looks like the mountain from Tumbler Ridge
Wow, welcome to Chile!
I love open critiques. It helps people see what they didn't initially. Maybe people should include metadata when submitting, then you can get a better idea of what they were adjusting to.
These two guys don't appreciate any others picture......Infact their own pictures are somewhat DULL
P V I thought the same thing. They are overly critical about stupid stuff
He gave it a 4 then thought ohhh actually what is bad about it.
Want some pro tips for landscape photography? Then go here now: HootLand.xyz
About 6.30 in, the city image. Cutting out the bottom 20 % AND 15 - 20 in the left side, would make this a killer image.
Makes the river lead up to the city 👌
Is that a Fishtail Mountain?
One thing you guys missed is that the one that is the Day Time shot (wide - panoramic), is a very poorly stitched shot (rating 1.84 rating).
That helicopter/forest fire image could have easily been a 5/5 if the colors just weren't so over-tweaked. It's really easy to go overboard with things like contrast, hues and saturation. If the colors looked a bit more natural, this would make a great portfolio piece.
no way, you guys were here in Chile? AWESOME
Don’t think 2 people should win a toturial. Maybe 1 should and a random photo could get a tutorial as well. If you have the best photo out of all those, you don’t really need the tutorial
Eskil Øvrebø the second tutorial winner is random....so yes, a random person wins a tutorial as well as the highest rated.
The tutorial they pick might be something out of their forte that they want to explore into, maybe?
It's a reward...like a prize. So photo contests should reward the worst photos not the best? If you haven't caught on, their "reward" or "prize" is really just a marketing tool for FStoppers on these videos to get more people aware of the tutorials.
I loved the image of mountain with lenticular cloud, probably image no.4, but Elia didn't !
It would be interesting if this same image is processed by Elia from RAW and we see it coming to best potential, as for me it can be a 5* if processed properly and some empty sky from the top is trimmed.FS Please do it.
Is that a Benro?
Yeah, it's our favorite tripod. We did a shoot out video where we explain why it was the best tripod for the money. We traveled with Elia for weeks using 4 super expensive tripods and the Benro was our favorite by the end of the trip.
Guys will you pass from Greece on this "tutorial"?? You left Meteora for a long time (Elia knows that place very well!)
Alexios Pappas we were going to include Greece this time around but wound up with too many lessons to include Greece in 4. We might have something very different planned for Greece so stay tuned
@13:57 Rom, the Vacuous Spider
Guys, I bet your tutorials are really good if you give these pictures so low ratings. Looking forward for more.
Roman Fierce I agree. I am new to this channel but with critiques like these their tutorials and work must be stellar.
I hope you come to the north eastern states of India for photographing the blue hills & it is name after it "The blue hill of Northeast India..
I thought that Venice photo was a straight 5
the 9th photo (I think) one after ht alone island in the midst of all the white... looks like 2 photos merged together.... that horizon is WAY too straight.
8:00 is a 5
Some of these photos were better than the reviewer's photos
good
Listen Guys i think first shot it might be a composite. some parts of the shot are longer exposure then others. like the water bubles in the center of the shot are to white and creamy showing to much motionblur like milk but the water in buttom of the shot is short exposure showing bubles.
also the water droping from the big rock is long exposure like 3 4seconds cuz it formed white milky lines. and we all know long exposure waterfalls look like that.
but the splash behind the rock is like 50/1 sec or something like that. enough to almost stop motion
so to much for that rating for that.
IT FAKE. i can do that in my aquarium
I watched as much as I could. This may be thee most pretentious video on TH-cam right now.
i agree!
I thought all of these photos were great tbh
Lol, the winners get tutorials? That's kind of counter intuitive :p
BTS videos of PW IV, please
You know it :)
That 1st photo does not have the whale's eyes in focus.
he clearly had the nice piece of lava.
You need to work on your focus. 1 star lol. 5 stars for the rest of the content
You have a nice piece of lava haha
I'm going to critique the video ... You missed your focus!
