    A photographer asked me a few weeks ago how did I get good at the photography I shoot. I told him that I still don't consider myself as a good photographer and that I am still learning. I feel like there is always something new to learn. It's good to see guys, at your stage and influence, in the game still sharing that they've learnt something new. This type of video resonates with me. I don't think tutorials are dead. I don't think tutorials will ever die. Love this video. As always, keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

    Iceland is so surreal that it's easy to go trigger happy and take thousands of photos anywhere you look. Everyone focuses on the waterfalls and jeez that is not even the prettiest thing. There is SO much more! Love that country.

    At least 85-90% of the time I spend on editing is mask edits, esspeically for photos that require major light correction, or that would benefit from seperation between key focus areas.
    I'll say this, Ben is 100% correct, once you begin to look at light differently while editing you'll never look at photography and editing the same way again!

    Oh, a video where Pete collaborated with a genius creator to create a tutorial editing content from Iceland? A classic Peter McKinnon recipe we all love and appreciate.

    Been so waiting for this! Thanks for delivering Peter. Great reminder how 'LIGHTING' is *EVERYTHING!!* My wife's been shooting wedding's and it's all about the lighting..just makes sense that the same holds true with landscape photography as well....thanks for the reminder!

    This is amazing man. Like we already know what how to do some masking in lightroom but this isn't the first thing you intend to do when you edit your photos, reshaping light!. Simply amazing. Thank you Benjamin and Peter. Looking forward on that full iceland video

    @ness1180 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I took his course on wildist and it was a huge eye opener for me. I’m a hobbyist, i don’t do landscape in Iceland but his tips were still so so applicable to photography in general. Manipulating the light was my favorite takeaway

    I've been doing it since the pandemic. In the lockdown I couldn’t go anywhere so processed a bunch of old photographs. It came naturally to me when I was stuck with a lot of flat images. It's a great way to liven up a dull photo.

    Peter! Great video, great place, and happy birthday! One thing I’d to see from your workflow is how you deal with thousands of photos in Lightroom with the cloud. Like how do you do your backup and deal with all of the cloud stuff and then preserve all of them? Or do you just pay for cloud storage or do you just use Lightroom classic? I’ve hit my storage limit and I’m sure others have too and I think that this is often overlooked with photography videos. I haven’t found a good one for the newest version of Lightroom. Just and idea that I think would help out! Keep up the bangers!

    @michaelrankine2801 ปีที่แล้ว

    Depending on the image/client I've been doing most of my retouching in lightroom lately, much the same way as Ben.
    In the past I felt like light shaping with multiple masks would just not play nicely with Lightroom and my computers performance and was only achievable in PS. I do my grading in LR then open it in PS and go wild. And I still do that, but with the latest improvements to lightroom, without impacting the performance of my macbook as much it's been awesome to use LR as a one stop shop.
    More people need to know about it, so thanks for sharing Peter and Ben!
