    Without question one of my favourite types of videos. From out in the filed to the finished article with all of the steps. I am always intrigued to know how photographers go about processing their images. I learned a few things that will help inspire my photography. What's even better is showing how great images can be had no matter what the weather conditions throw at you. This video goes straight into my photography playlist as I learned something, thanks Adam!

    Thanks Adam you are a whiz on the computer. I'm 55 and can still walk and climb those hills you just have to stay fit eat right and be blessed with good health! I hope to see you still hiking up and down those hills at 65.

    when you're out walking alone there's no shame being defeated by a trail, I'd rather walk an extra 2 miles than risk scrabbling up wet scree. awesome images, thanks Adam 👍

    I love shooting in bad weather. I actually often prefer flat light, fog, haze, misty rain. Your message in the intro is spot on. In my own photography, my goal is education and inspiration regarding the outdoors and natural world. I feel if I can convince one person to go for a hike, experience the outdoors, I have accomplished something. I like the videos where you take an image and then process it. My tastes are a bit different but watching and hearing your mindset as you process really helps me better understand how to shape mood into an image. Very nice video Adam.

    • @Firstmanphotography

  • @timscanlanphotography

    Hi Adam. You've delivered a really important message at the beginning of your video. Encouraging folks to become interested in our environment is more important than ever. Enjoyed seeing your editing process - never fails to impress. Love the finished image ! On a personal note, a couple of years ago, me and the better half sat in that exact spot after walking from Goredale Scar to Malham Tarn and were lucky enough to be able to watch the Peregrines as we ate our sarnies. An unforgettable memory. Thanks for taking us with you on this outing. P.S. You delivered another really important message at the end of the video as well !!!

  • @geoffdickinson5903
    @geoffdickinson5903 6 лет назад

    Excellent video. I know that part of Yorkshire really well and those weather conditions are very familiar. I have often found myself uninspired and not bothered going out thinking my images are just going to end up rather flat and boring. I think that’s partly due to my lack of knowledge of how to use Lightroom’s image processing tools so your demo has helped me a lot. Thanks a lot for inspiring me. Your channel is brilliant. Keep it up.

    I really like the dramatic processing employed here. One thing I notice you didn't do with the graduated filter was to use the Range Mask tool to restrict your adjustments just to the sky, thereby preventing them bleeding into the distant landscape below.

  • @oneeyedphotographer
    @oneeyedphotographer 6 лет назад

    I would like to see you do that in Capture One 12.
    There's a video on the Capture One channel about split tone/dual tone in Capture One 11, I think it will get the effect you're after.
    Radial grads are in, they can be asymmetric. So can regular gradients.
    You can erase gradients, that has been in for a long time. It's about equivalent to your brushing in exposure adjustment to undo the soft gradient on the hilltops.

    Damn shame Canons dynamic range isn't progressing like other brands, especially when landscapes are your bread & butter. Nikon & Sony & Pentax & even Fuji have surpassed with ease. I went from Canon to selling all & now deciding upon next brand which in conjunction with my observations & array of choice is difficult to find a new brand to settle on. Loved the Canon lenses but thought bodies short changed me somewhat for the £€$
