Really great to see how you approach each photo. I think my favourite bit though was when you thought Cliff Sun was the name of the guy who sent it in. Admittedly he was supposed to put his name in the file name, but even so - brilliant 😂👍

Cliff Sun actually posted in the comments here, it's one of the ones that has been "hearted" by Nigel. Just a coincidence that his photo also had a cliff and the sun :)

And that’s the beauty of photography highlighted in your video. We all have our own personal perspective, so it’s interesting when someone else crops a shot and makes a new shot from an existing one. Not saying it’s better or worse, as that’s always an individual’s taste, but I love that it can be just so different. 👍🏼

Nigel - thank you so much for editing my submission (Tom Poundall here 😊). I picked this photo as I thought it would enable you to play with the quality of Nikon's raw files (which is excellent to say the least). Photo was taken after a long day of hiking and without a tripod for context. Now that I am back in the UK, I hope our paths meet in the future 😎🙌

@davehemprich-bennett9336 2 жыл бұрын

That was helpful, thanks. I tend to put 99% of my effort into the shot and 1% into the edit… and while that’s the correct way around at least, it’s useful to get tips on the latter. An area I’d love to hear more about in future tutorials is colours and colour theory/balance. I suspect lots of us spend our editing time focussing on exposure and details, while forgetting to do anything much about the colours other than tweaking the saturation slider!

Great video as always. Thinking about the ones you cropped a lot, totally agree with what you did but noticed you had the crop tool open (not using aspect ratio) and wondered if that would affect the ability to print the images, that is, 7x5, 18x12 etc. I always struggle with apsect ratios and printing. Be good to have your view. Thanks Chris.

Wow it was great to see you edit my Neist point image! I didn't know about the warp correction in Photoshop and definitely struggled with the wonky lighthouse after straightening the horizon (lightroom distortion correction is a bit limited). I think it might have something to do with the lens profile correction thats pulling the image back into the centre (to counteract the barrel distortion of the Tamron 17-28mm).
