How to Shoot and Edit a DIFFICULT photo

Patience was required to shoot and edit this photo from Wastwater in the lake district. In the video, I show you how I shot and edited a bracketed exposure and managed to capture some lovely reflections of this stunning backdrop. The photo was fairly difficult to capture, trying to pull the elements together and find a composition that fitted well with reflections, trees and mountains.
I hope you enjoy this landscape photography vlog and also pick up a few editing tips that you can use in your own photos.

[@simeonbriggs]

Never seen it that still! Shame your shoot got cut short. Great that your not afraid to validate the use of HDR. 👍

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Simeon, It was a lovely spot for sure. Hdr is just another tool why not use it 👍

Thanks so much

[@ian_worth]

no worries 👍

[@antonoat]

Great video Ian, I wonder how many times you have been to this location before, I imagine going there on spec and having perfect conditions is a gamble, the life of a landscape photographer. lol. Cheers.

[@ian_worth]

Cheers buddy, this was the first time I had ever been to wastwater, so got really lucky. Thanks for watching👍

[@avs4365]

Thanks & brilliant insight will (eventually) get to terms with those pesky PS shortcut keys....

[@ian_worth]

Thanks, buddy, it takes time, there's so many to remember 👍

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

Nice edit Ian, nice to see an image from beginning to end. The good thing is it doesn't look like a typical hdr looks very natural as well. What lens was that by any chance the 18-55mm or the 20-24mm

[@ian_worth]

Thanks, Jim, yeah I think there is definitely a place for hdr if it's used in moderation. yeah the 18-55mm, it did a steller job 👍,

[@oldgrumpyjim5003]

@@ian_worth I got one second hand in new condition and its surprised me! I've also got the 16-55mm and Ive been using both when out and about but there is not much difference that I can see. The 18-55mm is not the typical kit lens but I think thats just fuji for you. I was going to get the 10-24mm as I needed something just a wee bit wider but got the Samyang 12mm instead for the few times I would need it for the my buildings and the like. Im also back using Adobe as well after trying everything else just can't do without it for cataloging.

[@UlreyProductionsfilm]

And a quick question what is the actual dynamic range from your X-T3

[@carmas54]

You need to get your hands on the Fuji 200f2

[@ian_worth]

would be nice 😃👍

[@carmas54]

ian worth I rented it for 2 two days and shot it everywhere I have taken images before and I was amazed to see how clear sharp and beautiful the shots were

[@filouxe5861]

Naughty boy... (photoshoping stuff away...)

[@ian_worth]

haha, yes a bit naughty, but at least I'm honest about it. I think on another day I would have been able to get that shot if the water was 6"higher. Thanks for watching. 👍😃

[@UlreyProductionsfilm]

is this shot in eterna

[@ian_worth]

yeah Eterna with shadows and highlights turned down to -2 then my wonderland lut applied .
