Curious: On average, how many photo centric trips do you go on each year?

It's embarrassing to admit how much I learned from this video. Thank you so much.

Thanks Mark. It's a crazy world and it's so refreshing to find a channel dedicated to quality, useful content.

Love this video & the step by step flow but not at a snails pace. Keep up the great work Mark your videos continue to just get better.

Never a bad tutorial from you Mark on any subject. I wish you were my next door neighbour, but then you would have to move house because of the bloke next door asking all questions and then wanting more. I’d be a pain in the butt. Great to be privileged enough to follow your ideas. Thank you heaps. Neville J.

I don't specifically go on photo centric trips per se. But looking back, I realize that I bring extra gear (extra lenses, tripod, ND filters, remote) depending on the location. And for the most part, that's when I go to places that are rich in nature and landscape. That's how I found out about your channel. As a novice, I was looking for resources online about landscape photography, and from you I learned a lot of tips about on-site composition, split toning, range masks among other things. I also like how you try to keep the images as natural looking as possible. Your channel is by far my favorite photography source. Keep up the good work and I'm already looking forward to the next video!

I love that you started this video with how you select photos to edit and that you whittled it down to under 100 from almost 1,000! I’m super new at Lightroom and you touched on things I haven’t experimented with yet, so that was extremely helpful. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Brilliant tip at the end to combine the two waterfall images to eliminate leaf shake.

As a total amateur who wants to get more into photography, I am so grateful for all the tutorials you are putting out on so many different subjects. I enjoy your style of teaching and you are so easy to listen to. Thanks for all the hard work you are putting into your videos !!

Love your channel, man. Almost every time I see one of your vids I revisit something something I haven't been super happy with and positively improve it. Keep them coming!

Have to bookmark this Tutorial: sooo much to unpack for us Lightroom newbies. Just the selection tip alone is a life saver. I had over 500 pix from my Banff trip and I was overwhelmed at the thought of pouring through then. Not now!! Thanks, Mark!

Mark, I feel like I learn more from you than any other photographer / instructor on the internet. Your teaching style of explaining how you learned the various techniques is really enlightening and easy for me to remember and practice in my own photography. I really like the fact that you don't have a slick, 3 minute intro with a lot of splash and wasted time. My free time is short and I really appreciate your video format however don't ever worry about taking too much length on your videos. They are packed with great information. I thank you sincerely for your obvious, continuing efforts to keep sharing your experiences and expertise! Thanks again!

Mark you are the man! Found your movies and love your knowledge passing and attitude. Way of providing your wisdom is also very plesent to watch, hear and I will definately use some of your tips regarding photography and editing. If happen to come to iceland give me a shout I am on the spot :)

Great video Mark. Your description of each step is super helpful. Dave

Mark: your teachings are solid as steel. Thanks for sharing so much!

Hi Mark It's been a while since I've started following you and I just wanted to thank you for the efforts you're putting in, sharing your experience and knowledge with the rest of us. I guess what I truly appreciate about you and your videos in particular, is the sincerity that have in your words. This, by far, is the most humble photography channel I'm following and to be honest, the most relatable one. You're an amazing photographer which I have a lot of respect for, but you explain things in such a way that beginners or introverts like me would also relate to. No fancy words, just the essence! Can't express myself well enough I guess :D Wishing you all the bests and I look forward watching your next vid. Regards, Ali// Oslo, Norway

Thank you for your video, Mark. I am going to use your simple workflow for my photos. I look forward to the next video.

Your videos have been really helping me with my landscape photography. Thanks!

Many thanks, Mark. Some comments, if I may. 1. It's refreshing to see AND hear it admitted that those who are way more experienced and knowledgeable than I sometimes overlook things in comp, ie the lighthouse images. Ah, how often I've seen that "error" when at home, and too late. 2. The work-flow and suggestions in LR, is really great and very helpful; not cropping in LR initially - great to know. And lastly 3. It pays to back over less recent posts. Do carry on !!

I just came back from a week in Maine with 856 images. Your screening process alone makes this video worth it. Thanks!

Thanks, Mark, love your work and the time you give.

Thanks for the 2 shot waterfall/leaves tip!!! Also, I and many say it often but THANK YOU for sharing your expertise. You are one of my favorite photographers.

awesome video, Mark! love the last Lightroom/photoshop tip!

Mark, I have learned so much from your videos. Thanks for sharing your editing techniques. I learn so much from your explanations. Besides you give me ideas for the kind of scenes to go looking for. This gets my juices flowing.

I get away on one “big” trip per year (4 or so days) and maybe 8-10 day trips. The joys of family life! It’s always good seeing other people’s workflow, I’ve picked up so many little tips that have helped my own evolve 👍

Super helpful ! Thanks for sharing your knowledge - appreciated

You should really check out «set default» in LR. Because you always enable lens correction, add a bit of contrast, reduce highlight and invrease shadow. Make those changes (just small changes. -30 highlight, + 30 shadow) and the hit set default. Then next rime you import your pictures they all get the usual changes. By doing so you saves time and sometimes you notice an imange that you normally just scrolled by.

Brilliant explained the merging of 2 pics in photoshop. Thanks Mark.

Another great video Mark. Thanks for sharing. I really need to make some time to spend on some photo trips.

I like the way you speak directly to the subject

Great video my friend. Really enjoyed this one. Love that waterfall photo. See you next week Mark!

Mark I love ❤️ this video on editing your images. I would like to see more just like this one . I have learned much from this editing process and look forward to seeing more . Great 👍 job , well done 👍 indeed 👌

One of my favorite videos of yours. I like watching the process that different photographers use in post processing. Water falls are some of my favorite scenes, the two exposures and combining is a must add for me!

Thanks once again for the clear and thorough content. Actually commented on how you edited that last foto for instagram, so it is great to see you actually include it this video!

Mark, brilliant tip on the waterfall! I’ll be in NC this Fall to shoot waterfalls and this will really come in handy for me! Thank you!

I love all your videos helping people like me in getting our photography to our next level. One information which may add value would be say which lens you used which will help us determining what lens to be picked up for that scene. Thanks a lot. You are doing amazing job. 🙏🏻👍

Sometimes it's like I look and hear myself, almost scary. Coming home with hundreds of photo's, at first looking all the same. Ending up with 3-4 pictures really worth the trip.

Very very helpful, Mark, both on selection process and editing process. That woodland autumn waterfalls shot was my favourite - loved the composition. Did a lot of pausing and note taking cheat sheet style from this video to use in my Luminar program. In fact, of all the videos I subscribe to, yours have the most cheat sheet notes in my reference file. “Keep doin’ what you’re doin’ so I’ll keep gettin’ what I’m gettin’!😃

Excellent video! I’ve been struggling with just what this video covers and found then content very helpful. Thank you Mark! 😊

You are such a great teacher. Really like your easy going, calm demeanor. Love your photos. Dude - love the t-shirts! I'm new to the channel and every video I've seen so far I say to myself - I need that t-shirt. Thanks for such a great channel!

OMG, thank you for this video! It's good to see that someone that is taking so amazing photos, is taking also a lot of photos that are not that great! It's giving courage for beginners.

Your Landscape images from Portland are lovely. Thanks for sharing your workflow and image selection process.

WOW! This was the most helpful video I have watched lately! I was in Oregon at the same time and I need to do slight edits to make my 5 favorite just perfect. Its the first time I shot RAW and loaded into LR. thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!! I was just wildly sliding everything. I am going to start over and follow your workflow, maybe even try combining one or two in PS. Oregon is absolutely the most spectacular destination!

I find your channel and photography very helpful. This video like other videos on your channel are very useful! thank you for sharing your lessons they are very engaging you present them so well with so much humility :)

Great video Mark! Gives good insight in your workflow and some tips to apply to my own! Keep up the good work!

Another great lesson, thank you!

Great video Mark! Was awesome getting to see how you go through your own process!

Very useful education piece for LR! thank you.

Haven't been using the split toning but after this video I'm gonna give it a try. Excellent video. Thanks.

Mark, Many thanks for the many hours of tutorials. You have truly encouraged me, excited me and improve my photography in all aspects. Keep up the good work thank you.

Loving your channel. Best lightroom/landscape/personality KZfaq viewing. Please keep it up...

Great video. Loved your pictures!

No need to respond Mark, I just wanted you to know I love this start to finish run through. It was really nice. Also fall colors and waterfall tips. I found this really useful to think about how I do my own work.

Hey mark. Thanks for the video, I always enjoy your stuff.

Well done Mark!

Love watching you brother. Don’t know how anyone didn’t like this video! So many perfect people taking pictures I guess!

Keep up the good work. I enjoy watching you make the image and then editing. I learn from both.

Thanks Mark, I liked your tip on split toning highlights. That was a new one for me.

I really appreciate your adjustment tour in LR, I can follow very well. Always a wow on your photo results. Thank you for such detail and great tips.

I want to thank you so much for this video, as it helped me a lot instantly> I came recently from a trip where I had tons of photos, and I was getting frustrated since I was not able to get the right color and tones when editing, now I had a very satisfying results right after watching this, so thank you

Thanks for the great tips Mark.....

Great Video as always Mark. Love the technique for shortlisting photos. I always spend ages adoring a file just to realise there is a better one particularly on sea scapes with water movement so identifying the key variable is a great tip. Thanks.

This is a great tutorial. Thanks so much for taking the time to do it. You have definitely become one of my favorites to follow.

Thank you, you're a great teacher.

Loved the bird detail!

There is much good info here. Thanks for sharing!

Amazing. Thank you for another outstanding video.

The best Lightroom tutorial

Mark, here’s my theory: 5% for good equipment, 15% to luck (weather, right place/time etc) and 80% to daily practice and listening to others teach.

Great tip on using Split Tones

That was a very informative video. Thanks Keep them coming !!

Great tutorial. I learned lots from you especially combining 2 images to avoid blur on the leaves in photo of waterfall. I had not thought of that. Good tip. Also you are the first person to explain to me for "texture and clarity" well, and the difference (texture for the micro detail areas).

Thank you for the overview. Appreciate it !

Good job Mark. Was waiting for you to talk about the particular challenges of instructing and trying to take pics at the same time. That evening shot with the sea stacks...I seem to remember you were helping one of us participants when you realized that your camera was about to be swept into the sea. Nice recovery, though!!

Great video Mark and especially enjoy the split toning hint, just tried it on one of my images and what an improvement! Many thanks.

It is great to have non-gear-centered content to help us improve in this art. Thanks

Late to the plate, who me yes. I also don't spend much time on rating my photos. Needless to say I either like it or I don't. Then decide good or I love it. I delete so many photos. Then again I shoot alot when I'm out. Really wildlife is my thing, mostly Birds. Wildlife doesn't always cooperate. Which is why I have subscribed to you. Expanding my horizon of opportunities. Thankfully I have found your channel. Man, your photos are, awesome.

Thank you for this great video. I will try this with the next waterfall I photograph.

I'm such a fan of your work!! Great tips :)

Thanks for the tips !

Love the Vid. Finally now i know how to edit my landscapes wouthout overdoing things.

some beautiful pics sir!

You are the Bob Ross of photography

Great to see that you didn't agonise when adjusting the HSL, esp in the w/fall shots. Get it, get in and get done. Yeah. Good idea on the 4 & 5 * only selection process

Change the Color Profile from Adobe Color to Camera Neutral (Or Adobe Neutral). That will give you a flatter file to start from (and usually recover what may show as blown highlights/crushed blacks), and then you can add back more contrast (without further clipping highlights/blacks).

Great information Mark. Could you do a video on how you backup your photos. External hard drive, online service. And what file do you backup that saves all your edits?

Thank you very much Mark. You're correct that the steps between taking the photos and choosing which ones to edit isn't covered much so I appreciate you sharing your workflow. I still am a bit curious about certain things. First, do you then just delete the 900 photos that you took that you didn't like? As a bit of a hoarder and sentimentalist, it is hard for me to delete a photo unless it is obviously bad such as out of focus or having no obvious potential. Second, I know that deleting our bad photos makes us better photographers but I'm not sure what the point is of taking a bunch of bad photos. Should we take more time before we click the shutter so we get more keepers or is photography a bit like whittling where you have to cut away a bunch of bad photos to get to the good ones? When I think of how you're working in the field, I wonder if, as you keep working a scene that maybe you could mark the photo that you think is best and use that as a first edit. It would be interesting to then open the marked photos and see if they give you what you were looking for. Excellent video and I really enjoy learning from you.

So good and so helpful 👍 thank you

Thanks for a great video. 🙏

Havent even watched yet but already gave it a thumbs up! Cant wait for my lunch break lol

Thank you for your videos. I have two note cards next to my computer, a list of your lightroom short cuts and your edit flow. I wish the light house would have worked. Keep up the good work.

Thanks again, Mark! Enjoyed this a lot. I learned about the Split Toning here so that was really helpful, and also the Calibration. I spend way too much time. In fact I’m still editing my images. I cull through all of them with successive stars and am intrigued by your simple system. I just might try that for my remaining images!

great video. Thank you!

I love that waterfall image edit, I have used that technique and it make such a difference to the final outcome. Cheers

This was an awesome video thanks so much!

Really enjoying your channel after coming across it recently.

Good stuff, I'm sharing with my photography group Mid Wisconsin Photography Group!

Thanks for the video, awesome work. I need to travel. All of you techniques are similar to what I do. One you blend I see that the images aren't aligned but I know with this example only the water was blended so that worked. I find, unless I accidentally move the camera, which I try not to do when you enable profile correction sometimes it doesn't line up correctly. Usually I align images then stack then blend. Great videos and progress.

Great video, Mark! I’m learning Lightroom, very slowly, at the moment and got some great tips from you here. I know I have a tendency to over edit, trying to reign it in a little. Thanks for the great info 👍🏻

you are one of my favorite Utuber. 1 you are very honest and help others to excel their skills. 2 i like your t shirts. where did you get those from.
