Extreme RAW Processing: Exploring Photography with Mark Wallace

[@santulama6937]

Wow!!! this is my country??? Wow. Wow Mark, you have been here in Kathmandu! Love to see that you were here. Didn't know you were here otherwise we have met. Good job Mark. Thanks Adorama.

[@Neopulse00]

Great video. For people not familiar with Lr this is a great, quick tutorial to see what it's capable of to help recover details from RAW images and using tools. Thank you

[@sjsphotog]

Another great one Mark. Wow that was pretty extreme. Just shows everyone the power of RAW + Lightroom. And no PS needed/ Great job keep it up. Envious of all your travels around the world.

[@MichaelVincentMagic]

That was a fantastic tutorial Mark. I am lot more comfortable with RAW files. Cheers 👍🏽

[@dexterwas]

Beautiful shot, Mark. I'm amazed that you were able to recover so much detail from the shadows. I can't count the number of shots I've discarded that were heavily underexposed like that!

[@jonneymendoza]

dexterwas probbaly because your camera's DR is poor. on the latest sony sensor, you can recover stuff like that

[@GiuseppePipia]

dexterwas Well it depends on how you expose your image: if you get black pixels, you get black pixels and there's no way you can recover that. I've been able to recover images like that on my 70D with no issues at all. Just being careful to not lose details in the shadows and dark areas when I expose for the highlights.

[@CanYouFlyBackwards]

This is one hell of a great tutorial, thanks for taking the time to share your skills.

[@Gracebeliever077]

Fantastic Work Mark!

[@MichaelHodge]

Great video. Thanks, Mark.

[@albertr915]

great video mark. I love this photo and the editing processing you used. this is a great looking photo.

[@ArnoldWatson]

Very nice work!

[@fotouhi]

Excellent video, Mark. I have a question unrelated to the topic: How does using a lens adapter that introduces additional distance between lens and camera sensor change the characteristics of a lens/picture? Thanks in advance,

[@brucekillough5462]

FANTASTIC!

[@Speshalyst]

Awesome Mark -TFS

[@dmt99vn]

you dont need HDR function but you do need a good camera like D750 to bring back detail in shadow

[@johnc3826]

Outstanding video Mark as always. When using the technique described here, I typically find a good deal of noise in the under-exposed portions of the image. Did you find noise in this image and did you correct it?

[@focus-house]

well done Mark..

[@devalphamale31]

Super work . loved it

[@عمارالشايب-س5ت]

thx Mark Wallace . u make things easy

[@rudiwolff1484]

Very nice Sunset in Kathmandu! IMHO a bit overdone. Well, I don't like the very candy HDR (or cross developement) look. But that's personal taste... Also you can see some odd halo effects in the hills...(?) But... Hadn't you issues with noise? If I crank up the shadows like that, there is creeping in soooo much noise! And LR noise reduction will flatten all those fine details in the foreground. Thankful for your comment.

[@phynx2006]

Mark as always your the man, great video, very informative :))

[@fernandomigliomuller]

Great job. Congratulations! But i have a question: nowaday, is this consider photography or is just an image construction?

[@mellemellor]

Fernando Muller theliteratelens.com/2012/02/17/magnum-and-the-dying-art-of-darkroom-printing/

[@Federico84]

Fernando Muller even in the film era people used to "tweak" their image in the darkroom, nowdays you can do great things, but even 30 years ago you could do a lot of corrections

[@Dhungelanil]

Thanks for being in Nepal ❤❤❤

[@michaelrcrilly]

Fantastic video. Thanks.

[@somugsundar]

very good one.

[@terbela]

Nice video thanks mark

[@YouDontTalkAboutFightClub]

I have to get LR6 now. Damn people at Apple bailed on Aperture. Straight up left me hanging! 😕

[@mralnaqbi]

Thank you for this work

[@tabett5258]

Hi please what do y recommend for entry level but u can use it even after canon t3 I or nikon d5200 or u have other choice , I really don't know what to do iam lost , I will be glad to lead me to something thanks

[@pinwheel56]

Yay!, just what I needed

[@1717jbs]

Great stuff! Thanks.

[@adhuc]

thanks for subtitles

[@polintr]

HDR seems simpler than all that Lightroom work.

[@paulwood3024]

I thought it looked great, except for the ghosting. Besides backing off clarity and shadows, is there another way to get rid of ghosting? I find this problem allot and now use HDR with my sunrise/sunset shots.

[@Bestbet]

Nice work

[@pawanthapa4940]

Nice.. is that on the way to Nagarkot?

[@M0DFATH3R]

Amazing that Lightroom is

[@sh9683]

+MBTHR33 too bad its a pay per month not a one time fee and I own it. I am enjoying my one month free trial, but after that, I will look elsewhere.

[@Althawadi105]

Hello Mark thanks for sharing your experience. I have question about lightroom 6. Why I can't adjust the black and white in graduated filter and adjustment brush?

[@MarkWallaceVideos]

Ebrahim AL-Thawadi This feature is available only in Lightroom CC 2015.1. Just make sure you have the most current version.

[@lexydame]

amazing work

[@lexydame]

need Lightroom in my life so bad :(

[@sutejotan5817]

awesome

[@MichalKovacs]

Nice video, u can do this with a leica, or a fullframe, but thats it, try to open up the shadows on a photo taken with an entry level dslr, or even a semi "pro" dslr u end up with a lot of noise.

[@bostjanbelovic3899]

photoshop or lightroom?witch is bether for raw files.nice picture ther...;-)

[@Mazde26]

I do this too all the time with my Nikon D800 ... I just dont like the halo effect i get around trees when i open up the shadows to much... I can see you get alittle of the same in this picture

[@ValdirNeto77]

Couldn't this adjustments be done with a jpg file?

[@Jing_Photography]

Why don't u upload the raw file ?

[@aaza2310]

thanks

[@LVPictures]

honestly is this processing consider photoshop/editing? you photography skill vs editing skill... or do you consider editing skill as part of photography skill. Whats the difference between post processing and editing?

[@GiuseppePipia]

Ludwig Van Pictures I don't see any difference between the two. Also photography skill and editing skill go hand in hand: if you don't know how to photograph that scenery, you'd probably get perfectly exposed terrain, but losing all the highlights in the clouds and the sun, or have perfectly exposed highlights, but pitch black terrain. In these two cases there's NO WAY you can recover anything. Then it comes the editing/post-processing: where you develop the two parts of the picture independently but being able to do a seamless image. Which can't be done if you don't expose correctly (i.e. not lose much detail neither in the shadows or highlights).

[@JP1AO]

HDR is trickery and that's not?

[@Nobody-ng4tw]

Was this picture made in Romania? I can see the Romanian flag down there..

[@DaDoctorJ]

Absolutely. Hills outside Kathmandu valley, Romania.

[@SYLVAINMERCIER]

love the beard,

[@FloridaSPHB]

Can't this also be done in CS6?

[@bytegaurav]

+FloridaSPHB it can be, there is a "Raw Camera Filter" option under filters menu

[@MrMonfabio]

I still prefer 100 ISO bacause has more dynamic range...

[@tallaganda83]

If used properly, luminosity blending will yield a far better and more natural image, one day people will realise this, then world of photography will be a better place, when photoshop masters are regarded like the master printers of yesteryear, instead of frauds, some amazing work will start coming out, things like focus blending, luminosity blending and numerous other techniques will only expand the art.

[@denyxrunner]

Do it with a Canon! :D

[@Lastman10101]

My 5DS doesn't have that much dynamic range lol. (cries inside)

[@khangahraman5891]

Josh Jones it has just use correct lens and manual settings

[@GajoRomario]

cheating ... He puts some lights in the pos-processing photo that dont even exist.kkkkkkkkkkkk

[@f1rstlol]

it looks terrible in my opinion

[@fielding68]

Rubbish. Over saturated.

[@KOT_Media_ng]

You talk too much

[@michaelheslop3767]

Thank you for the great video.
