Book Crafting the Landscape Photograph with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop

Download or read book Crafting the Landscape Photograph with Lightroom Classic and Photoshop written by Ben Willmore and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2023-06-21 with total page 475 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:

Realize the full potential of your photography and produce breathtaking landscape images using Lightroom Classic and Photoshop!

You can follow all the tried-and-true rules of great landscape photography—shooting in great light, making sure to have a clear subject in the scene, and maximizing sharpness throughout the image—and yet your photos can still somehow fall flat. Compared to others’ work you see online or in print, there just seems to be something missing: your images are a bit bland, while others’ work is often inspiring, lively, and beautiful. What gives?

The difference can often be found in the photographer’s post-processing techniques in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop that they use to help direct the viewer’s eye and make their images come alive. This kind of post-processing is not about “fixing mistakes” but is an essential part of the successful landscape photographer's contemporary workflow. Photographer and author Ben Willmore has spent over 30 years refining his own images and workflow, written more than a dozen books, and led photo workshops around the world. All in all, he has taught more than 100,000 photographers in person, so he knows the questions, concerns, and frustrations that landscape photographers have.

In this book, you’ll learn how to use Lightroom Classic and Photoshop in order to transform your captures into something you can truly be proud of. From shooting techniques that help you capture the most robust RAW file at the highest quality possible to developing your images in Lightroom Classic and Photoshop, Ben covers global and local adjustments, masking, selections, layers, color, luminance, sharpness, multi-image composites, focus stacking, and much more.

Topics include:

    • Idealized color and color grading
    • Detail and sharpness
    • Separation and depth
    • Establishing balance
    • Creating compelling contrast
    • Leading the eye
    • Dodging and burning
    • Black and white
    • Eliminating artifacts and distractions
    • Adding emotion
    • Producing a coherent body of work
    • Panoramas and HDR

Ben teaches you not only about “learning the tools” but about applying these tools to your work in such a way that you can direct the viewer’s eye through your photograph via the use of contrast, brightness, color, tone, framing, and detail. By learning how to use and apply these techniques to your own work in an intentional, expressive way, you’ll be equipped to elevate your work and finally make the kinds of landscape photographs you’ve always wanted to make.

Book The Art  Science  and Craft of Great Landscape Photography  2nd Edition

Download or read book The Art Science and Craft of Great Landscape Photography 2nd Edition written by Glenn Randall and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2020-04-07 with total page 543 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:

The Art, Science, and Craft of Great Landscape Photography, 2nd Edition teaches photographers how to convert their visual peak experiences—moments of extraordinary natural beauty that evoke a sense of wonder and awe—into stunning images that elicit the same awestruck emotion in their viewers. Author Glenn Randall is an experienced wilderness photographer, and whether you want to venture into the mountains for once-in-a-lifetime shots of raw nature, or simply hone your landscape photography skills from the safety of your back deck, Randall explains the art, science and craft behind creating stunning landscape photographs.

This fully updated edition of the best-selling first edition includes nearly all new imagery throughout the book, as well as a new first chapter, "Photographic Essentials," to help beginners to landscape photography get up to speed quickly. Additionally, this second edition takes into account how Randall's techniques have changed and evolved since the first edition published—from photographic practices to how he uses smart phones and apps as important and powerful tools for landscape photography.

After discussing photographic essentials, Randall focuses on the art of landscape photography. He describes his three-step process for composing a photograph and shows how good composition is an organic process that begins with rules but ultimately transcends them. Randall then explores the science behind successful landscape photographs, which requires understanding key concepts from geography, optics, vision, and psychology. These concepts include:

    • How the position of the sun at sunrise and sunset varies throughout the year. This will help you plan when and where to shoot.
    • Using optics to predict where rainbows will appear, how polarizers will interact with reflections, and where to find spectacular light.
    • How to use topographic maps and computerized mapping tools to help you find promising shooting locations in the wilderness.
    • Calculating exposures, achieving correct exposure in high-contrast lighting situations, and the best digital darkroom techniques.

With some practice and by applying the techniques that Randall teaches you, you will soon be ready to master the finer nuances of creating magnificent landscape photographs.

Book Scott Kelby s Lightroom 7 Point System

Download or read book Scott Kelby s Lightroom 7 Point System written by Scott Kelby and published by Rocky Nook, Inc.. This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 491 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt:

Learn Scott Kelby’s 7-Point System for developing photos to perfection in Adobe Lightroom!

Imagine how awesome it would be if you opened up an image in Lightroom, even a really messed up one, and you knew exactly what to do first, what to do next, and every step along the way to take that image from flat to fabulous. Well, that is precisely what this book is all about. You’re learning a system—the same one taught in colleges and universities around the world—that was crafted by world-renowned Lightroom expert Scott Kelby, the world’s #1 best-selling Lightroom book author.

This is a new way of working and thinking about editing your images that will change the way you work in Lightroom forever, so you’ll spend less time fixing your photos and more time finishing them, and doing the fun, creative things that make Lightroom the amazing tool that it is.

Scott narrowed things down to just the seven major editing moves we need to master to enhance our images like a pro, so we’re not learning Lightroom tools we’re probably never going to need. Then, and perhaps most importantly, he determined exactly when and in which order to apply these seven techniques that make up this proven, time-tested “Lightroom 7-Point System.”

But, the magic of this book isn’t just listing the seven techniques and how they work. It’s how they’re used together, and it’s the learning process you go through that makes this book so unique. This isn’t a “read about it” book. This is a hands-on “you do it” book. You start each lesson with the RAW photo, right out of the camera (you can download Scott’s images, so you can follow right along). Then, you’re going to apply the 7-Point System in a very specific way, and you’re going to do it over and over again, and again, and again, on a range of various photos, with different challenges and situations, until these seven points are absolutely second nature to you. You’re going to do the full edit each time—from beginning to end—with nothing left out. Once you learn this system, there won’t be an image on your screen that you won’t be able to enhance, fix, edit, and finish like a pro!

As you move through the book, you’ll be amazed at how well this system works across such a wide range of photos, from landscapes to portraits, from architectural to sports photography, from wedding photos to everything in between. The book is 21 short lessons (including two bonus lessons where you work with Lightroom and Photoshop together), and if you spend just 10 minutes a day doing that day’s lesson, in three weeks, there won’t be a photo you won’t be able to beat! You’ll know what to do first, what to do next, and in exactly which order to take a dull, lifeless image and make it one you’d proudly hang on your wall. Best of all, you’ll learn more than just the 7-Point System along the way, as you’ll have to tackle whatever each image throws at you, so you’re going to discover extra techniques, shortcuts, and workarounds that will help you in every aspect of your editing.

This is the book you’ve been waiting for—the industry has been waiting for—and once you learn this system and start applying it yourself, you’ll be the next one to say, “You can’t beat the system!”

Book The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers

Download or read book The Adobe Photoshop Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers written by Scott Kelby and published by Pearson Education. This book was released on 2007-04-03 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Free Lightroom 1.1 update available. Simply visit peachpit.com/register to gain instant access. Scott Kelby, author of the world's #1 bestselling Photoshop book, The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, brings his same award-winning, step-by-step, plain-English style, look and feel to The Lightroom Book for Digital Photographers. This groundbreaking new book doesn't just show you "which sliders do what" (every Lightroom book does that). This book takes you beyond that to reveal the secrets of the new digital photography workflow, and he does it using three simple, yet brilliant techniques that make this just an incredible learning tool: #1) Throughout the book Scott shares his own personal settings and studio tested techniques he's developed using Lightroom for his own photography workflow since well before Adobe released even the first Beta version. He knows what really works, what doesn't, and he tells you flat out which tools to use, which to avoid, and why. #2) The entire book is laid out in a real workflow order with everything step-by-step, so you can jump right in using Lightroom like a pro from the very start and sidestep a lot of productivity killing road blocks and time-wasting frustrations that might have tripped you up along the way. #3) But what really sets this book apart from the rest, are the last two bonus chapters. This is where Scott visually answers his #1 "most-asked" Lightroom question, which is: "Exactly what order am I supposed to do things in, and where does Photoshop fit in?" Scott teaches this in a manner we've never seen before in any book, by really showing every step of the entire process, from the initial shoot to the final prints. Both chapters start with an on-location photo shoot, including full details on the equipment, camera settings, and even the lighting techniques. You'll see it all as he takes the photos from each shoot (with you following right along using the very same images) all the way through the entire workflow process, to the final output of the 16x20" prints for the client. Plus, because he incorporates Adobe Photoshop seamlessly right into this workflow, you'll also learn some of his latest Photoshop techniques for portrait and landscape photography, which takes this book to a whole new level. It's the first, and only book to bring the whole process together in such a clear, concise, and visual way. Best all, it's taught in Scott's trademark plain-English style that has won him legions of Photoshop fans around the world, and made him the #1 bestselling author of all computer books across all Computing and Internet categories since 2004. If you're one of those people who learns best by actually doing the projects yourself; who learns best without all the complicated technical explanations and confusing jargon, and if you really want to start using Lightroom today to unlock the productivity secrets of "The new digital photography workflow,"----there is no faster, more "straight-to-the-point" or more fun way to learn than this groundbreaking new book, and you are absolutely going to love it!
