Edit Landscape Photos in Adobe Lightroom

I had way too many requests that I couldn't ignore last week when I showed you my photos from Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas Nevada. So for all you that requested it...here you go!

First, as always, we need to start with a good histogram and well exposed image. The first photo has very little contrast but a very good starting point. There is plenty of data to work with, especially from a RAW file, it just needed to be moved around.

The second I thought was a complete goner. Unfortunately it was overexposed, skies almost gone with cloud cover and a histogram pushed way to far to the right. Check out the video to see how I created both of these images...enjoy!

Digital Photography Lightroom Editing Tips




Uploaded by on Nov 16, 2010
http://froknowsphoto.com/digital-photography-lightroom-editing-tips/

Here we are again editing another user submitted RAW file, remember that neither Greg nor I took this picture and it was submitted by a reader of the web site.

This weeks image was captured with the Nikon D3000 and Nikon 55-300 VR Lens. It is a great capture of a blade of grass with water on it. I was really surprised to see how sharp the focus was on the blade of grass and water.

When I was editing it I took the approach of making it pop as much as possible but making it seem a little darker. If you remember the movie Honey I Shrunk the Kids a lot of the movie is filmed in the grass and it just seemed darker when you were on that level. That is why my image looks darker, i figured if your on the level of the grass its probably in the shade and should take on a darker quality.

Greg decided to try to very different edits this week, one a little warmer and the other a little colder. This excursive week in and week out shows you different ways that images can be edited, Always remember that photography does not stop when you press the shutter button, it continues into your post processing.

If you would like to submit a RAW file for us to edit please e mail FroKnowsPhoto@gmail.com

Before and after images at - http://www.facebook.com/slrlounge

Welcome to Episode 5 of our Weekly Lightroom Edit. I must apologize in advance that this episode is a bit late. I am still out galavanting through China. But, I will catch us up with 2 episodes one of these weeks, so don't worry.

I have this shot out here that was taken at a farm in a rural area in Canton. Awesomely enough, the farmer is actually smoking while farming. You know, puff and pluck, puff and pluck. Anyway, when looking at this image, it reminds me of a 1960-1970 era photograph that I might have seen in Time magazine or National Geographic. So, we are going to create that look and effect in Lightroom.

Hope you all enjoy!
