Het beeld is prachtig geworden Christian love it dank je wel
What a great tutorial, also thank you for sharing the files so we can follow 🙏
The one nitpick I frequently hear in image reviews is over exposed areas on the border of an image can distract or pull the viewers eye away. On the right side of the horizon there is a small rectangular shape that looks blown out. That small distraction could cropped out. Your masking works very well to create a dramatic image.
Thanks for the comment! You're totally right, that overexposed area is a bit ugly, I messed the the HDR exposure on location because I had to be quick as the clouds where moving FAST. I didnt want to crop it because then I would have to take away a part from the left as well to keep the path centered and thus I would also loose some area around the cloud. It would make the image "too tight" if that makes sense
Nice demonstration of the key tools and techniques. With similar images, I often also use the tone curve in the sky mask as an additional way to strengthen contrast. So many ways to skin a cat!
Another except video. Thank you.
The image is trully dramatic. Awesome! No one has ever experienced such a dramatic scene in reality. It's almost as if it was a bit overcooked.
I've seen some really dramatic skies where I live. Believe me this image is not overdone.
Your edits are always amazing, great!
Amazing as always. But for my taste, the sky is too colourful. But that's my personal opinion and taste. Thank you so much for the tutorial.
Thanks for commenting! Thats ok, I do love vibrant skies like this but I know not everyone is a fan these intense colors!
Awesome. This image would also be great as a B&W.
Magnificent job... I have some pictures of blue seas with darkened skies - I shall try your edits here on those. Thanks a lot, Mads!
Christian, Today’s Lightroom masks are the most effective way to achieve the layering of the thick clouds. The field and the sky are more contrast to each other than ever.
You have mead a brilliant illustration of it. What you have created is so helpful to me when I am out in the field to take a photo for the landscape.
I am very grateful! Thank you so much!
Thank you so much, very happy to hear that!
Thanks for the tutorial. After watching several of your videos over the last few months, I'm finally able to make some real positive changes to my edits. Very helpful.
Thats great to hear, thank you so much!
Immer wieder krass was du in 10 Minuten raus haust 👌🔥
Danke dir!
Fabulous transformation and excellent tutorial. Many thanks for sharing your skills and creativity with us, you are inspiring my photographic improvement and processing skills, and my enjoyment of photography. I'm deeply grateful to you 👌
Thank you so much!
Great… more “before/after” during process could be more clearer but great video!!!!!
Thanks Chris- do you always use the 1/3 focus guideline to get maximum depth?
Thanks for the comment! I usually just eyeball the focus, most of the times it works good haha. I only worry about focus with things in the NEAR Foreground, then I usually do focus stacking!
I do not recall seeing dramatic, stormy skies with so much aqua/blue tint. To me, that renders the sky somewhat unnatural. Also, you made some seemingly very minor adjustments, such as changing the aqua and blue saturation by +2 and +3. Is the change really noticeable? How will it look on a print?
Great video! I was wondering if you could create a tutorial on how to edit like visualsbypreet. He has such a cool style! Thank you
Ohhh his photos do look suuuuuper good, thanks for the suggestion, I will see if I can recreate this style!
As usual, great video.
However, I have one request: could you hide the filmstrip at the bottom of the LR during processing? It takes up a lot of space and we, the viewers, don't need it for anything. Thanks to this, the photo itself will have a larger area. This matters when you watch it on your phone and not just on TV.
I watched it on my phone and have zero issues with it. Did you watch it in portrait mode? You can zoom in landscape if necessary
Thanks for the comment! I will try to hide it for future videos, I just often forget about the film strip :-)
Beautiful edit! Can you can do all of these edits in ACR instead of LR?
Yes!
@@miketschappat6402 Thanks Mike!
Why bring down the radius to zero in sharpening and detail to 100% and when would you not apply this ?
I do this for all my images because it gets me the best sharpening results. Bringing the radius down tells lightroom to only sharpen 0,5 pixels around edges (minimum radius) so we get very fine sharpening this way!
Nice but for my taste the sky is a bit overdone.
Sorry, but tone of the sky is not as per my taste.
…. Want to try that again, but in English?
