Thanks to Miles and the folks at B&H for providing this excellent and informative workshop. Miles is an inspirational photographer, and we appreciate him sharing his knowledge with the community. One small tip for the B&H people filming the session, is to always show his laptop screen while he is doing the actual post-processing segments so we can all see what he is doing. This has happened on a couple of B&H workshop videos I have seen lately.
I really like the concept of the workshop. Having a great photographer sharing his tips, and showing his post processing techniques is probably the best way to spared the knowledge to the community. It would be nice to see similar workshops covering other fields of photography (wildlife, macro, portrait etc.), again presented by an expert photographer sharing his knowledge and showing actual post processing technique.
@nikhilsrl We've been doing our best to subtitle the audience questions in order to enhance the experience of viewers like you. In this video, certain questions remained inaudible even to our technical director and editor, so we were unable to generate subtitles. In the not-too-distant future we will be upgrading the Event Space, and the audibility of audience questions is high on our list of technical challenges to address. Thanks for watching.
@Ray Warren Thank you for watching the B&H Photo TH-cam Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.
@chirsd666 Thank you for watching the B&H Photo TH-cam Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.
1:13:00 , a guy asks for a tool that shows the focal point. There is actually a tool that does that in Capture One Pro 7, it creates a "mask" that shows which areas are in focus in an image and it's a great tool to evaluate which photo keep in a bunch of pictures. I think that program has a far better sharpening of the details compared to Camera Raw. The only downside is that it doesn't fit into the workflow as well as CRaw/Bridge and so it's slow when you have lots of images to process, but it can be great for single images processing like the one in the video ;)
@mrbakerstreet221b Thank you for watching the B&H Photo TH-cam Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative. We look forward to greeting you should you come and visit.
The Photoshop demonstration showed me how much more I can get out of my pictures. I didn't realize it could do so much using Raw instead of jpg. Thanks.
Extremely helpful in gaining some insight to the thinking and work flow of an outstanding landscape photographer, a big thank you Miles, top notch presentation.
@meeshasworld Thank you for watching the B&H Photo TH-cam Channel and for your participation. We are very pleased that you derive value from and find our presentations useful and informative.
Great Presenters and great topics so excited to visit B&H for the first time, hope they invite Architecture or Interior Photographers somebody who blows your mind away with their T/S lenses and share their experiences. thanks B&H!!!
you are providing so much great content, I'm seriously thinking about traveling from germany to usa solely for buying equipment at B&H in appreciation of your videos haha ;) thanks
i love i those videos when somebody talks about important stuff there is no questions.. but when it comes to nikon vs canon or 'what lens did You use' sudennly everybody has hexylion dumm questions. very informative btw:)
At 22:45 - I always thought that shooting into the sun (including the sun in the frame or not) means a back lit scene not a front lit. Correct me if I'm wrong;) Nice presentation anyway!
B and H Shooting into the sun is and always has been backlight. The subject is the landscape and the sun is behind the landscape, therefore the subject is backlit. That's basic photography and your presenter is wrong.
The presenter is wrong. Lighting refers to the SUBJECT. Not the position of the photographer. You point your camera at the subject. The sun is shining in the direction of the SUBJECT. The subject is therefore front lit. When the sun is BEHIND the SUBJECT (i.e the subject is the landscape) it is being lit from behind and is therefore BACKLIT. (Caps for emphasis) Basic photography. See here: www.kodak.com/ek/US/en/Home_Main/Tips_Projects_Exchange/Learn/Photo_Tips_Techniques/Advanced_Techniques/Direction_of_light.htm
Seth T Well, that's what makes him backlit as a photographer but not the scene in front of him which in my opinion is front lit (and probably the most unpleasant for the eye)...I think the presenter is wrong and someone should clarify that.
Yes indeed. My apologies. I goofed during the presentation and switched back lit and front lit scenes. Didn't figure it out until after the presentation was public. My apologies.
I am about to purchase my first wide-angle lens mainly for this purpose (Tokina 12-24 f4). Would the locked aperture be too much of a drawback or could I compensate by manually focusing etc?
qwertyguy12345 I apologize in advance if I've not understood your question correctly. The widest aperture on the lens is F4, but it has a standard aperture ranging going all the way down to F22 in fact. I'm not sure what you would need to be compensating for. - Yossi
Excellent idea - we have a couple already. Try "Enchanted Earth: A Study of Nature Up Close and Personal" at youtube{dot}com/watch?v=9ChZK2MZj1s, or "Get Up Close and Personal with Rick Sammon" at youtube{dot}com/watch?v=LYGs9BZbg40. Thanks for watching.
Excellent lecture for beginners to maybe intermediate for the photography BUT gets very advanced when he shifts to photoshop. Also WAY too many questions and interruptions.
This is very sad. Layering and all that is not photography its computer technology.. If your a real photographer Photoshop can be like cheating. If you cant do it with your camera and lens its not photography. If its done on a computer its computer technology...Looks like photography is a becoming a lost trade.
I did not mean to imply it's not art...it is very much so...it's also cool stuff...but if there were photoshop a hundred years ago we would have never heard of Ansel Adams...I truly believe that if he were here today he would neither need it or uses it for anything other than what you can do in a darkroom...It is acceptable for minor adjustments and still be photography...but whatever it is, it's is art...
Disagree entirely, a feeble argument. Ansel Adams was obsessed with technical perfection. Photoshop enables greater levels of control than the darkroom process. Lifts the whole art form of photography to new levels and possibilities.
Charles Nemec Ansel Adams spent hours (if not whole day) in the darkroom just post processing a single image with lots of techniques (dodge and burning among them, really advanced for the time), so you literally couldn't choose a worse example of a "real photographer". Personally what I think is that until you start to add/remove big elements from the picture or cropping it in a way that completely changes it's nature it's still landscape, otehrwise it's another type of art and there is nothing wrong with it, unless you claim and/or sell it like it was a normal photo!
Sad? What's sad about it? Why must all photography be pigeonholed into what Charles Nemec says is "appropriate"? If you read my website bio page you will see that in no way, shape, or form to I pretend my images are somehow documentary. They are fine art, and I prefer a whimsical, painterly style. I enjoy time in photoshop as much as I enjoy time shooting. For me its fun to experiment and create. Luckily I don't make images to satisfy you. I make them to satisfy me.

I've been taking heat for a comment made, just for the record I appreciate very much the art you create..my hats off to you.
Great presentation here. The level of detail and useful information is impressive. The fact that it's available for free via TH-cam is awesome.
Amazing video, I highly recommend that any landscape photographer watch this. Thanks to Miles and B&H for posting these great video lectures.

Brilliant Miles. Thank you very much. Can't wait to get out and try what you have taught me.

Fantastic presentation. I really appreciate the walk through of your processing. I learned a ton.

Your lecture was one of the best I've seen. You really crammed a lot of great info in that thing. I really love the images by the way.
Great Presenters and great topics so excited to visit B&H for the first time, hope they invite Architecture or Interior Photographers somebody who blows your mind away with their T/S lenses and share their experiences. thanks B&H!!!

Most welcome. Thank you all for watching.
Great knowledge Sharing session..
The sharing of post processing steps was really amazing..
Thanks You Miles and B&H..
i love i those videos when somebody talks about important stuff there is no questions.. but when it comes to nikon vs canon or 'what lens did You use' sudennly everybody has hexylion dumm questions. very informative btw:)

When the direction of the light is coming from behind the subject, it would be backlit. *Christina* askbh@bandh.com

brilliant video,.. Miles Morgan is excellent,. thanks
Awesome lecture! It would be so great if you guys could do a lecture on macro photography! :)
@Paul Mo Great catch Paul Mo! I realized that I had goofed and put them backwards when I reviewed the video. Whoops!!!!! Sorry about the confusion
I am about to purchase my first wide-angle lens mainly for this purpose (Tokina 12-24 f4). Would the locked aperture be too much of a drawback or could I compensate by manually focusing etc?

Yo BH, when a presenter is working, please keep his/her screen on so we know what they do ;) Thanks for the video :)
The questions from audience is not audible. Previous videos you guys used to show the question text on top of the video. Why not in this one?
Nice insights
Excellent idea - we have a couple already. Try "Enchanted Earth: A Study of Nature Up Close and Personal" at youtube{dot}com/watch?v=9ChZK2MZj1s, or "Get Up Close and Personal with Rick Sammon" at youtube{dot}com/watch?v=LYGs9BZbg40. Thanks for watching.

fantastic
ty
"Spectacular"
:P
This is a lecture, not a conversation.. Keep it shut, Gertrude!
don't carry bear spray where there are only black bear. learn about the environments you are shooting in.
This is very sad. Layering and all that is not photography its computer technology.. If your a real photographer Photoshop can be like cheating. If you cant do it with your camera and lens its not photography. If its done on a computer its computer technology...Looks like photography is a becoming a lost trade.
Ansel Adams would be using photoshop, without a doubt. You should not devalue art solely because of the process. Go crawl under a rock.
I did not mean to imply it's not art...it is very much so...it's also cool stuff...but if there were photoshop a hundred years ago we would have never heard of Ansel Adams...I truly believe that if he were here today he would neither need it or uses it for anything other than what you can do in a darkroom...It is acceptable for minor adjustments and still be photography...but whatever it is, it's is art...
