[@baepel]

best photography resource on the internet - thanks for the dedication and great quality

[@BH-xg8pe]

Like the effect of the vignette and the leaves.

[@smepable]

That flyaway techniques at the end are gold!

[@hermanlopez2945]

Thank you for all the tricks and workflow

[@1adphotographyau943]

I tried to do the floating leaf photos so many times and only now I learnt about taking separate photos and layering/blending them into photoshop. Thank you so much for this!

[@eyeammjh]

Great video. Brilliant tip on cloning "in" the fly aways. Thanks

[@randyfox5317]

Pye. Dude! I always struggled with 'flyaways' before (for just the reasons you stated). What a great shortcut to 'disconnect' them. Thanks!

[@seektheburd]

Great tutorial!

[@polopi87]

You are worthy of my subscription.

[@yanncadic9581]

I learned a lot ! Thanks for all those technics and sharing Pye.

[@slrlounge]

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

[@LiviuLungu]

Great tutorial, brilliant result. You can actually see the contents of a layer with a black mask by reducing the density of the mask in the property panel. I find that quicker than duplicating the layer, and I just raise the density back up once I'm done.

[@VilsonMac-iz8cn]

Amazing. Good work!

[@wroodhumeid7625]

Im in love with your tutorials .. you are down to earth and relateable ... You make us beginners not intimtated by the technicality of the craft

[@JustZG]

cant believe i never thought about the cut off fly away technique, thanks for the awesome work as always!

[@tristanwilhelm9600]

Interesting technique with the FlyAway hairs

[@slrlounge]

Thanks for watching!

[@sandraamato6004]

Love that. I also find it helpful when you point out the command key.....love that better than drilling down a menu. Thanks Pye.

[@vnagireddi]

Beautiful as always

[@damianbereza6901]

[@kelef666]

Excellent video! And just in time for Xmas to do those magic shots :)

[@slrlounge]

Can't wait to see you try it!

[@thats_mr_b_]

My guy Pye, man I’m still working on getting it right in camera first but just looking at this gives excitement and dreading learning light room like that. I mean it’s a job all in it’s own and I want photography to be my second job. Sure if I make money and do very well I would love for that to be all I do. Either way can’t wait to get there

[@y0utube5uxx]

Nice trick with leaves. Once I tried to do everything in one shot and it was a failure. The kid came out great but the leaves looked terrible. Thank you for this great tutorial.

[@davidcolephoto]

Really great stuff with excellent teaching as always. Thank you for sharing this.

[@slrlounge]

Thank you!

[@sandraamato6004]

Oh boy Pye, you’ve out done yourself again. The picture looks awesome and the post production tutorial is so helpful. This is all new for me as I am just picking up my camera again. Love the editing👏🏼👏🏼👍🏻💖 Thanks for sharing.

[@balukblah963]

Thankyou, Sir, am learning a lot from your Tutorials..!!

[@maralphoenix1874]

that was amazing, thank you😍

[@richmatlock2396]

Pye, awesome job. So informative thank you.

[@slrlounge]

Thanks for watching!

[@edinaimagery2377]

I don't know how you don't have more views lol. Every video you release I learn something new and useful and I've been following for about 3 years now lol. Thank you for the time and effort you put in to making these videos. So simple and informative. I do have a question, can you make a video on how to set images for Instagram and or Facebook. I run into the issue sometimes where my images don't look as sharp as when I was editing them or the originals. Thank you Pye! 😁👍

[@slrlounge]

Appreciate the love Edina! Here is a quick reference guide for social image sizing: www.slrlounge.com/the-best-lightroom-export-settings-for-print-quick-reference/

[@edinaimagery2377]

@@slrlounge thank you!!! 😭🙏

[@JamesBoyer-plus]

Thank you for sharing so generously, Pye. I can hardly wait to try this!

[@DeepakVerma-ol2oe]

Amazing

[@MrBena18]

Fantastic tutorial. Thanks a lot!!!

[@DeanFryphotography]

when shooting the images do you focus on the model and then switch to manual focus?

[@slrlounge]

Definitely helps so that the camera won't accidentally track a falling leaf instead.

[@rle7622]

Thanks! You're awesome!

[@fakhriddindavurov]

Could you tell name of program which you use

[@fernandoopoka8269]

You are asowme!

[@ShootPicture]

if u use one preset after another, here visual flow preset, then radial filter preset, won't one overwrite the changes made by the former?

[@DiviPhotos]

great video

[@i-primeproductions1517]

I couldn't figure out the "painting" of the eyes. What tool was that?

[@robilikovszki3325]

Hi. I would really appreciate some help. I got stuck where you adjust the strength of the radial burn. I have a mac: opt+click+drag. It just doesn’t work for me. I press option and click and when I try to drag, it drags the whole filter. It doesn’t adjust the strength. How to fix this? If someone knows please let me know. I will try to find out in the meantime. Thanks

[@adios012]

I usually use a white mask -> paint out everything I want -> then invert the mask :)

[@ryzenbiel4145]

where i will send my editing to this photo ...?

[@MH-ql9dl]

Thank you for this inspiring video. But I'm still don't get it how can you make a beautiful light behind that girl? 6:19

[@prabhukaran404]

Super... nice

[@MunchyToy]

A fine tutorial. Unfortunately, Open as layers in Photoshop is a function only available in Classic. As far as I can tell, it can't be done in Lightroom CC.

[@vinhsanity]

Lol fall was 3 months ago in Minnesota 🥶

I have the same problem with my Sigma lens in Lightroom. Very annoying.

[@RayValdezPhotography]

I do stuff liek this when i do confetti in photoshoots at my studio.

[@slrlounge]

Awesome!

[@mediaflmcreation]

I don't know why masking is such a PITA only for me damn ... ok can someone explain this without the jump arounds? After you mask one, what's the next step to get the other leaves to come in without double stepping with duplicates and such?

[@BigBadBossMcCoss]

Great tutorial. Next time do it as Bob Ross...

[@MRGARTITE]

one video is enough to subscribe to your channel boss

[@lajospalkovics7200]

Great tutorial, helps a lot . Thanks!!!
