Thanks, Nigel, this was a wonderful video! I really learned a great deal from your LR tutorial, particularly your extensive use of gradient filters to adjust colors. Also, how you used the tone curve quite significantly to subtly adjust tones in the image. Your insights into visualization are very helpful. Taking the time to visual what you want in an image before you press the shutter button will certainly result in quality compositions. Also, visualizing what you want an image to look like before you begin LR processing is also significant. In the end, you created a stunningly beautiful image from an outstanding composition. Thanks for sharing all of this. Cheers, Bob

Very interesting video. It was really nice to see the different results you got. I think the major different between Matt's photo and yours is that you decided to cool down the foregroun and the water, which creates kind of a split toning in the image. Matt on the other hand kept the overall warmish tone, which I guess is a bit more natural, because you'd expect the warm tones to also be reflected in the water. But both images look really beautiful! I hope I can visit the Lake District sometime in the future, seems to be a beautiful area.

Thanks very much for that, Nigel. I have looked at every tutorial I can find (and tried and erred may times) but, interestingly, none of the footage they show (or I achieve) seems as smooth and cinematic as yours, so I wondered if I (and they) were missing something. I use Premiere Pro 2018, too - could I press you for recording format and frame rate and output video format, please? Thanks, it's much appreciated.
@redkegs797 жыл бұрын
Christopher sorry to jump in Christopher, this is also a problem I had/still have at times with mine, as Nigel said, D-cinelike is what I use now too, the reason I chipped in was to ask what shutter speed you had while filming? After watched a lot of vlogs I learned that the reasons my videos weren’t ‘smooth’ (other than ham fisted controlling) was the shutter speed, from what I’ve read (happy to be corrected if someone knows different) is that for best results the shutter speed should be double the frame rate. So if you’re shooting 4k @60fps for best results the shutter speed should be 1/120. I too have the p4p

Hello Nigel, One year later and I just had to watch this vlog again. In my opinion, this is the best image that you have ever taken out of your thousands of captures. This October 2018 I stayed at Grasmere and visited your location just to see it. I never had the conditions that you had, so, I never got an image of this location. But I shall go back later next year (hopefully) living in Northern Ireland it can be expensive getting there. But I do have a question for you? And I have often chastised myself for being lazy and (not) doing Luminosity Masks which I have never done. Do you ever use them? And should we be using them for (all) images? For as yet, I have not seen you use them. Best regards, Allan Davies.

Thanks Nigel for a lovely video in so many ways. It must have taken a good bit of planning. I lost you a bit in the complex Lightroom adjustments so I've saved it to play again. With pen and paper I'll try and analyse the main adjustments i.e. decrease highlights, increase whites, selectively sharpen areas of interest etc.etc.etc. Interesting that you liked Matt's photo more than yours. There seems to be a dichotomy between editing to express what one personally felt at the time and editing to produce the most pleasing photo. I imagine it would be all to easy to slide towards the latter under the influence of that darstedly word, 'comercial'. Thanks again for a down to earth video. Keep up the great work! P.S. With some birthday money I'm thinking of changing my Apple laptop for a desktop iMac for photo editing. Would you recommend the 27 or 21 inch? Is there a minimum spec for fast Lightroom processing?

Hey Nigel, excellent video as always, thank you! Quick question: everyone seems to recommend setting one’s monitor/tablet to slightly below 50% brightness while editing, but wouldn’t ambient room light affect where we should set that? Do you always use 5 bars in spite of the time of day, etc, or is it that your editing space has approximately the same brightness all day? Thx again, these vids have not only helped my landscapes but have helped so much as I make the transition from Affinity Photo to LR at the front end of my workflow.
