Hey James! I just wanted to let you know that I've been a huge fan of yours for about a year, and throughout that year I have went through and watched every one of your videos. Starting with the most recent, and all the way to the beginning. You've made massive improvements as a photographer in those 5 years, and your sense of humor hasn't been lost either. Although I can't say that I've been with you since the beginning, it sure does feel like it. I love your videos and I can't wait for the next one. Cheers mate!
Completely agree. 👍🏻
LOVED seeing the edit process.
I really liked the way you explained each of your decisions in this video, it helps a lot for someone like me that is relatively new to digital photography (I've shot with film for years, but recently have almost completely given it up due to being priced out)
Thank you so much for your videos. Really helps me to calm down, kinda therapeutic. Im always happy to see another video of you
Good description of vibrance!
holy moly. i've been battling a specific problem editing bright sunlight on foliage making it look like crap.. and you mention clarity.. this feels like the answer!
I reduce clarity for any woodland image and often grassy images as well. It’s just too eye catching and reducing it lends itself to a dreamier, softer look.
I really enjoy your way of sharing the idea of photo editing, which inspires me a lot on how to manage the details in shadow.
Beautiful photo, James. Always enjoy your vids.
Thanks!
☘ Ireland is the Emerald isle, thus the green. 😜 Carry on! 👍🥂
Beautiful image! TY for going through the edit.
Watched this before editing the shots I took today; beer in hand. Cheers for the great guide James!
Gorgeous footage james
Once again, BANGER footage
I used to be crazy about lens corrections but these days I don't really do it much. I found that I was removing the vignette with corrections and then adding them back in with the tool (it does depend on the image though), and for lens corrections - I found the main place where they are used is wide-angle lenses.... but actually, I found that images "feel more inclusive" when you leave the corrections off (it helps the viewer feel like they are there). I definitely feel the same about greens... biggest thing I learned from your editing videos in the past.
Same. Remove the vignette and then add it back in at the end. The only time I obsessively check it now is m, like you say, wide angle shots. Usually where it’s making buildings or telegraph pole etc. bend unnaturally.
I love the new preset pack. It’s the best
Great video, informative and simple explanations ....keep at the good work 👍
Brilliant video, James It's really interesting to see your editing process and how you create your awesome images.
Thanks for great explanation of the difference between vibrance and saturation. I need to go back to re-do all my edits!!!!!
Hi James, I really enjoy your videos. I am not a big fan of introducing man made objects into scenes but you make it work. Great job on editing.
Great video James. Although your style and mine are vastly different I really enjoy watching. For example, you like manmade objects in your photos while I will do anything possible to remove them. However, when you were talking about clarity you really helped me with an edit I'm working on. I had applied a touch of clarity but I stopped the video and looked at my edit and realized it looked much better with a little removed rather than added. Thanks.
Thank you for going through this and going through what you are thinking and why.
another interesting video James!
I aspire to be as good as you at spotting an image.
Great video and images as always James... You've been such a source of Inspiration for me since I picked the Camera back up in 2021 and decided to learn how to use the thing properly - Your presets too, have been a really helpful starting point for a lot of my images, when editing... Never knew about that masking option though when sharpening, thanks for that 👍👍
Kerry is so beautiful. My next road trip will have to be kerry
As someone who has travelled the world often to "go find a country lane" or "back street alley" in remote places around the likes of New Zealand, Australia ( where I live ), most of Asia, EU, UK and America, it was hilarious to enjoy this week's vlog focused on just a single country dirt ( well gravel or metal as American's call it ) road and be thoroughly engrossed in every tiny minute detail including your edit walk through - felt like I was literally standing there / now of course it's on my "bucket list of places I would love to go to but probably will never have the time to do so" ;-) 10 points to Gryffindor, and warmest regards from Sydney.. ( come visit some time, would love to take a week out and do nothing but VIP tour you around our humble little home of Sydney )..
I'm American and I've never heard of a metal road
@@HamazingKayliee - metal, as in rough rock, gravel.. sadly your nation's been horribly impacted by the refusal to speak english and use the metric system..
@@Dez_Blanchfield You literally said in your comment that Americans call it metal. We don't.
@@HamazingKayliee - yea, you do ;-)
@@HamazingKayliee - also, adding "literally" to a sentence as you did, is both redundant, and very "American", you merely need to phrase it thus - "you just said" or even simpler "you said".. adding "literally" is both redundant, and horribly Merikan.. please stop.. just speak normal english..
Wow! I learned a lot more about editing landscapes in Lightroom than I thought I would. Thanks you, James!
James, can you share your Export settings as well and how those are affected by the end use of the image?
Super helpful. Please do more of these. Thanks.
Great behind the image look. Fantastic edit!
Stupid question, how do you strip the greens out and replace with yellow.
You can change the hue/saturation of individual colors in most photo editors, basically you only change the hue/saturation for greens
Not a stupid question at all ❤
He shows it at 8:40 - Move the hue slider a bit then desaturate green and over saturate the yellow
This video was genuinely helpful getting to see how you edit your photos... and for delaying my "need" for a Leica just a little bit :)
Thanks for the edit process James, interesting about the saturation and luminance sliders, I'll be checking those out next time I'm editing a pic with some bright colours. I think I need to be buying your presets too, I do have an email about them from you.
Thank you for this video. They are so heartwarming and help me out so much!
Thanks so much for a description of the preset! I can try to approximate it in darktable. Would pay for darktable presets btw
I'll move to Europe by the end of the year, but I still couldn't decide where.
Of course I want a great place to live, but I also enjoy landscape photographing on weekends.
Which country would be a good choice, and why?
If you don’t mind paying a lot of taxes, Germany could be a nice place.
If you don’t and have a job in tech, maybe Switzerland is an option
Germany: lots of interesting places and places to shoot. Very easy to reach and hike, often not photographed thoroughly. The South is awesome for that. You also have neat towns and a lot of interesting architecture. The alps are somewhat in reach
Switzerland: really small places, but huge towns. Really interesting landscapes and somewhat easy to reach. You also live very close to the alps and, we’ll let’s not ignore it: Pay is really good, rent and living costs are high tho
I strongly recommend a round trip to figure out your favorite before moving
@@krassertyp69 thanks a lot for the suggestions, I'll do a trip in a couple of months to check the grounds!
Great video as always James! A massive fan of your editing style so this was a great addition to the channel! Always look forward to seeing a notification for a new video from you!
im going to totally steal that green/yellow saturation trick
Enjoyed this. 2 comments/questions: 1) The sky seemed irrelevant? 2) Are you wearing vivobarefoot hiking boots...? They really look like them. If so, what is your take? Bestest.
Thanks for sharing your editing process, James, very insightful! Didn't know about the sharpening masking (alt key on windows). However much I love your editing style, these edits looked awful on a similar photo of mine. I wonder if it's due to the fact that I shoot on Olympus 🤔
Wooow where is this exactly?? So beautiful!
New to camera world, what was the slider editing software you used in the video?
Is that near Portmagee?
I miss you shooting on your Lumix cameras
I'm feeling soo the same way about greens. I do love nature with all those green tones, but... i find it ugly on most Pictures. Normally don't like those "Vivid" Landscapes with greens (and other Colors) trying to murder ones eyes. Thats why i'm loving those Classic Chrome or Nostaglic Negativ Sims in Fuji Camras. Thy just tweak those greens to a more eyefriendly tone.
Love that video title. And also the lesson to be learned there. Thanks for turning this into a really helpful little editing tutorial! =)
Hey James, back to when you used to shoot in 4/3rds, what was your favorite focal length?
I would never use Squarespace because I’m like George Costanza that way. I would also not use presets, evidenced by this photo. However I like your videos and take on photography.
When it comes on choosing between Leica or Sony, the answer is clear -Hasselblad. 😁👍
Been waiting for an edit walkthrough from you on your current looK!
How do you record audio for both gopro and main camera at the same time?
Mir gefällt das Sony Foto besser. Die Farben sind eine Spur ausgewogener. Insgesamt bietet die Sony Kamera ein wesentlich besseres Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis.
Hi James, great video as always and so nice to get a small peek into how you work with your photos in post processing. Have you chosen the white work space deliberately? and do you usse it for all images?
i don't use leica digital cameras for several reasons, but POINTLESS is to compare a m11 body with a third party lens with another camera system and say then this is a leica to xxx comparison.
#3:21 minutes in, I like the Leica.
Literally looks the same. 🤣🤣🤣
Nice. Thanks. toronto canada
This place looks insane.
pylon tee hee. Me likey the Leica image.
Personal choice I know, but I hate the pole in the opening photo, it seems way too dominant, seems better when it is nearer the edge of the photo and acting as a frame. But hey, you have quarter of a million subs and get paid, I don't.
Irish midges or migrating Welsh midges, that got lost??
Why'd you change the title of the vid? Hehe
I wonder if we will miss these observation skills when Google photos takes a smartphone snapshot of any location and produces a portfolio of professional standard images using AI as trained by every landscape photograph scraped from the Web.
You're right about Leica vs Sony, totally irrelevant in the real world and our near future.
It is not pointless ! Sony are a LOT cheaper than Leica, so you can save a LOT of money or get more gear !
“You can’t be a real landscape photographer, you weren’t using a tripod.”
Does it surprise anyone that James was attacked by Midges?
-green +yellow is part of Canon's color science
40 mil? I'm shocked.
Pointless!
Your review that is.
Comparing Voigtlander and Sony lenses on 2 different sensors.
Other than the body, what does Leica have to do with it?
In the film days, a 21mm Voigtlander was compared with a 21mm Leica on the same body with the same film and development.
People buy preset packs? Lol 🤦♂️
You completely messed up with the video title
Well it just another generic japan vs german. As logical consumer im always taking japan, german made is just overprice for most people.
Might be due to the fact that Leica has Sony sensor inside it 😂
we really are phoning this one in this time. I remember when he had a little more content to his content. but i guess everyone has an off day.
Тратить на это свою жизнь - безумие! Абсолютно пустая затея, кому нужны эти изображения?
Spending your life riding around on bicycles is insane, 🤣 what crazy people ride bikes just for pleasure, its tool for getting places 😂
Oh I'm so sorry you don't even ride bicycles, you ride disgusting motorcycles that tear up the landscape and make it crap for the rest of us.😂
