Thank you so much Gary, I came across your RUclips by accident but so pleased I did. Extremely helpful even more so as I’m getting bored with my photography at the moment, and I’m definitely interested in Fine Art Photography. Got to learn those shortcuts - brilliant. I have subscribed and will now go to your website. Thank you. Kim
Hi Gary, Thanks for this video. I have a definition of fine art photography,and it is this: If you see a photograph and you just have to buy it to hang it on your wall because it creates an impact in your soul and you know you will enjoy it everytime your eyes fall on it then you have found something which causes the viewer to linger and take the time to comprehend it, it then, is fine art.
Hi Gary, I'm a hugh fan of b&w imagery but in this case it's colour all the way for me. Both look fantastic. Great end result. Thanks a million for sharing.
Two things have blown me away regarding this video. 1. The quality, info and craftsmanship/artmanship (not a word I know but I just claimed it) of producing the end product. Truly amazing! 2. Why there are so many not likes? What is there not to like. It's a great class. Nice job Gary. I'm a fan.
Been doing this for twenty five years and still love it when someone inspires me. Great video, nicely put together and I personally love the image. Thanks for posting Gary.
FINALLY a channel from an experienced guy who does realistic videos that isnt too much click bait ( I would love to see how to sell your images. What channels you put them on etc, and how you price them. You mentioned you put them on your website, but how do you get people over there?) No fancy pansy guys with over enthusiastic "WHATS UP GUYS!!!" bunch of nonsense.
@@GaryGough that's nice of you. I subscribed! I recently got myself a Sony a7iii and a lens for cheapo. I used to have an old nikon d60, and I have to say it's way more fun now. The images I get is just amazing compared to the old nikon. So much information from the full frame. Still have tons of practice I need, but I would love to able to sell a lucky shot if I make one. Even it's a dollar or 10 I don't mind. But the feeling that someone would pay something for my photos would be amazing :) Keep up the high quality videos. So far I like them a lot.
Gary you are the first person who has been able to describe 'fine art photography' and I think you summed it up perfectly. I have only just discovered you and I am already a fan.
Gary, I concur with your definition and others that have commented provide some good nuances to the definition of Fine Art. Thanks for sharing your creativity and insight from the camera through post-processing. I appreciate it.
Hello Gary, Thank you so much for gently share your process and sensibility with us. I am a Brazilian guy who is now coming to your channel. I will subscribe to your channel and learn more from you. When I improve my English I hope to attend a workshop there in Scotland. Problably in 2023. Thanks again.
Just found this and tutorial and loved it... yes beautiful image and would class this as fine art. Simple and effective.. Ive not used Raw before have always used lightroom....will give this a go. inspired thank you
Thank you Gary for sharing your process. I enjoy watching videos like this as its both about a beautiful piece of fine art, and it demonstrates the process of achieving it. I’m with you on your definition of fine art, it’s all about a vision for an image and what a photographer can do to achieve the vision! Thank you for producing great videos and sharing them as you do. Cheers!
Loved that Gary. I picked up a few pointers on using Ps which I'll try in the near future. My preference was for the version of the main picture where there was the blue in the sky. Much the same as I liked the colour version of the wreck at Lytham. You might want to have a go at the riverside wrecks at Fleetwood. Quickest way to find them is to make for ASDA roundabout and across the other side of the road is a MacDonalds burger joint. Walk down that road keeping McD's to your right towards some new build housing on the other side of some lock gates. On the other side of the new builds is the river bank. The nearest wreck is just to the left hidden by a dune. The other wrecks are a couple of hundred yards to the right. Be sure to wear stout wellies or boots, its very slippy most of the time. Fortunately I had my Olympus Pro gear when I went face down in the mud. The camera washed up nicely, my jeans didn't. Enjoy! 😉
Thoroughly enjoyed the video. I also like your definition of art. I’ve just read your blurb - I thought it was the Fylde coast and I was right. I lived in Blackpool for 30yrs, left in 2013, so they must have located Mary’s Shell after I left or thereabouts. Great piece of sculpture and great image created of it.
Very very informative Gary, I was hooked! Lovely images and very natural flow tutorial, thank you! Loved both images but the colour one was incredible.
Hi Gary Ranjo is here I really love your art photo it is great, thanks for all the amazing videos I’m learning quite a lot from you, photoshop is my weakest point. Thanks
All I can say is that your tutorials- "follow along"; is really wonderful. Thanks so much. I just had to subscribe in order to support you and help me. Cheers.
Stunning, always look forward to your videos Gary, In my opinion if an image looks good call it whatever you want, art, landscape portrait. As always Gary fantastic work, thank you for sharing.
Well done Gary, loved the vid, as you say" everybody's interpretation of a photo is different and that's what makes it art" i really liked the black and white version of the photo and I'm looking forward to more vids.
Excellent video as always Gary. Loved the B&W but definitely prefer the colour on this occasion, however the real beauty is those bricks in your office, I really hope you use them as a back drop.
Wonderful tutorial. This is my first view of your tutorials. It was very helpful. It can be so easy to overdo edits in post-processing. This photo looks great in B&W or the blue color. Love the smooth sea. Very nice. Can't wait to see more. Thank you!
This is what I call Fine Art Photography, a great example and quite minimalist which I love. I just found and enjoyed your video about the pilgrims walk, which led me to this one. I really appreciate the insights into your processing method too. But I can’t resist pointing out something that drives me crazy these days; so many people misquoting that old proverb about the pudding. Correct saying is: “The proof of the pudding is in the eating”. 😊
Great video. It reinforced much of what I already knew but the use of the marquee to move one part of the image to another as an alternative to cloning and healing is a revelation as well as the transform tool used at the bottom edge instead of cropping out unwanted distractions and thus allowing you to maintain the chosen dimensions of the image is a revelation. Thank you for an informative lesson.
Best explanation of photography as art that I've heard. Only ever sold a few prints but get what you're saying. The downside is that it looks like I'll have to bite the bullet and learn Ps instead of relying on Lr. Already on my Mac but have tried to ignore it until now!
Thanks for the photoshop tip on copying one side of the horizon and flipping it and putting it on the other side. Will come in handy on occasion. I just subscribed as well.
brilliant gary, thanks for demonstrating that process with us, I've learnt something new and going to put that into practice myself as I am a lightroom user, I feel relieved that I thought I was the only one suffering from spots and marks all over the image after taking 10 stop images
I think that thanks to this video I have finally found my way into photography. Thank you very much. You already have a new follower My best regards from Tenerife.
Gary, It is always good to learn some new ways on how to process an image. Thanks, John
You're welcome John 👍🏻👍🏻

Even at my age I can learn something new everyday, Thanks Gary.
You're welcome Charles. I think we're all learning, aren't we? 😁😁 👍👍
I firmly believe that there is little point to life if we aren't still learning and experiencing. Life would seem unbearable without it.
So true 👍👍
Great tutorial and fantastic image (the colour one for me). Thanks Gary!
Cheers Barry 👍👍

Great video, Gary, thanks. "Tickle the sliders"....(in ACR), terrific description and quite apt.
Great video. It reinforced much of what I already knew but the use of the marquee to move one part of the image to another as an alternative to cloning and healing is a revelation as well as the transform tool used at the bottom edge instead of cropping out unwanted distractions and thus allowing you to maintain the chosen dimensions of the image is a revelation.

It's not so much the 10-stopper, it was the F22 that shows the marks on the sensor. Cheers Jim 👍👍
I really enjoyed your video. I've been going through some of my past images, and now I have a better idea of what to do with them. Thank you.
I think that thanks to this video I have finally found my way into photography. Thank you very much.
