    Simon, I am a stubborn old man, I don't listen to anybody. I love taking pictures of birds so I watched a few of your videos. I have been spending my time watching all of your videos. I have learned something from every one of them. I like your style of presentation. It's right to the point, relevant, and professional. Until this video, I was barely using a fraction of what the program had to offer. I look forward to following your work.

    This is exceptionally helpful: Your methodical progression through the editing stages, and attention to detail (how to limit a radial mask just to the perch, enrich the brown tones, bring varieties of light to the background) is unlike anything I’ve seen elsewhere from more high-profile TH-camrs - and very welcome. Thank you many times over, and I look forward to what you do next.

    Really can't thank you enough for these tips and many others you've offered in previous videos. Very good, honest help, and well presented. Well done.

    This is the most detailed video of using lightroom to edit bird photos that I have seen. It is really great. It not only explains the skills of using lightroom, but more importantly, it is a processing idea.Thank you for your videos!

    All of the tips are helpful! As a newer photographer all of the learning that is involved can be overwhelming. Thank you for your videos!

    I've watched several other Lightroom tutorials and have done some rudimentary processing as I'm just beginning in photography. This video was easily the most helpful. The keyboard and mouse shortcuts were especially helpful. Your style of teaching resonates perfectly with me so I'm really thankful I've found this channel. Thank you for the awesome content and taking your time to help so much.

    I love your videos! You explain things nice and clearly and at a speed that I can keep up with which is much appreciated. I don't use Lightroom but I am sure I can use some of these tips in the programme that I do use. I already do use the rule of thirds at least!

  • @yvonnerichard6099
    @yvonnerichard6099 ปีที่แล้ว +21

    Excellent tips. The magenta correction is particularly useful I think. Didn't occur to me to use the temp slider - I usually adjust the tint, or use a local brush with a mix of green and desaturating, but the results are not always what I want. This is simple and it does work, at least on brown! Thanks Simon!

  • @MattTrevett
    @MattTrevett ปีที่แล้ว +2

    The last tip about compression on Facebook is quite helpful. Thank you for throwing that into the video.

    @romy4593 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    That was amazing Simon! I was so happy to watch this! I take very clear pics of birds for the most part....I just needed to know what is necessary when a shot does not get me what I want! I have learned so much from your videos!!! Also I can go into shots that needed editing I didn't know how to do!! So glad I subscribed to your channel!!!

    it's so interesting seeing other photographers edit their photos and how that plays into their styles and tastes! I would have edited in a different way to you and probably would have come out with a very different final image. Thanks for sharing your process!

  • @FrankH-sz1ln
    @FrankH-sz1ln ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Excellent, thank you. The inverted subject is a God send for blurring the background just a little, and the file size for Instagram will definitely help too. Thanks again.

I've been taking bird photos since 2020 and it's a whole journey, I improve each time I go out and this tricks have pointed out mistakes I was doing or things I needed to do and I wasn't doing.

    Simon: thank you VERY much for this comprehensive and exhaustive explanation on how you proceed to edit bird photos. I use LR a lot and this is the first time I see tools that I didn't know what their use was. I will keep this tutorial in my favorites because I need to see it more than once to fully understand your approach.

    @odysseusreturns9133 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    This is very helpful as I am still getting my head round to my recently acquired Lightroom 5. What a brilliant tool, even if the masking features are somewhat more basic than those mentioned here, a lot of this advice is relevant.

  • @deanpratley125
    @deanpratley125 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Thank you very much for taking time in creating all these wonderful and enlightening videos. I’m applying all your tips and tricks and it helped me a lot. I’m a beginner into birds photography and I have come to know that apart from the gear and the photography techniques, it is equally important to be knowledgeable in post processing techniques to make the birds picture look awesome. I would really appreciate it if you could kindly show your complete workflow of post processing of birds photography in Lightroom CC (from importing to exporting). It would really help all the beginners like myself. Thank you!
