The Elusive Grand Landscape

[@THE-VVATCHER]

This is the best presentation I've seen on B and H, so far. It'd even be great if you only listened to the audio. Listen to what he says. The concepts he presented were really inspirational.

What a truly amazing presentation... one of the best I've seen. Thank you so much for all the insight and thought process behind some of those amazing photos of yours.

After watching this presentation I asked myself what I took away from it. My take away is... Mr. Peterson is a Photoshop enthusiast, and most of his photos are dark. One of the first words out of his mouth was "light". In post processing Mr. Peterson seems to have killed most of the light and lost a great deal of detail. Mr. Peterson also expresses the desire to capture "the world around it" [the subject]. Again, post processing nearly plunged that world into total darkness. If the public is relying on photos like these to decide on a trip, they will be disappointed. They will not get what they see. Personally, I try and achieve, to a certain degree what was achieved here, but, in camera. I want to capture as much as I can of what I see... what most people would see. I rarely use processing programs for anything but sorting and storage. All that being said, I appreciate the presentation and I think I know where he's coming from... bold colors in a dark atmosphere. But, that's just my opinion.

Great to listen to the Yoda of photography. A lot of deep thought beyond the technical.

"Landscape photography: it s not something you can literally do out your bedroom window ..." Moose hasn't seen what I have photographed from my bedroom window -- literally sitting on my bed. :) It's all good, though. I learn so much from these videos.

[@kauxkaux]

Moose is genius in this talk... as always! Thanks bh!

[@HeinzTerVoert]

Wonderful webminar, keep them coming

[@YuriFineart]

Great video, thanks for uploading!

[@PonteRyuurui]

this is really good stuff

[@andrewlaverghetta715]

I want a seminar about how to get great landscape photos in the mid-west and other incredibly boring places. No photos from any mountainous regions, no bodies of water bigger than a pond, just trees and flat ground. Not that I haven't done it myself, just that it seems so much easier to go to places that are beautiful anyways.

Peterson is the Real Deal

[@SkipSpitzer]

i learned a few nice things here. great to hear these presentations! thank you b&h! those added beams of light are incredibly silly. his approaches seem more formulaic than artistic.

[@blueandyyb]

Can't agree with the under-exposure method. One should do ETTR and under-expose the picture in post if necessary.

[@rydaug79]

I thought the originals were much better than the edits.

[@AdamHoggatt]

Yeah, and at 22:43 he says he invented adding light beams in Photoshop. lol

[@danijell6539]

OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK OK..... Other than that, nice video...

[@Nazareth434]

the general rule is if you want better photographs, find better subjects- I'm right snack in tree country- andm ountain- so much so that grand landscapes are blocked by trees most everywhere- I've had to learn to find subjects in deep woods which is probably just as hard a your open plains/boring areas - Try to find exciting interestign subjects- flowers o nthe plains durign storms, frost on trees, whatever-

[@tedcullen7480]

okay okay okay.... right... okay

[@bhockey25]

I believe he said "panels"....If someone is hard to listen to, its better not to watch the whole show; please feel free to upload your video for others to critique in the same manner that you so eloquently displayed! You sound a little jealous of his work, which speaks for its self.....

[@yudontsay]

Overkill of saturation, way to dark images, little detail..... sorry this was not appealing to me...

[@AgnostosGnostos]

Not an interesting lecture.

[@jamc666]

most are overkill with saturation .. :-/

[@simonjones118]

mmmmmmm OK....can't stop thinking Southpark. Had to stop watching.

[@JimiHendrix998]

A 10 minute lecture...90% of what this person says is meaningless soundbites. There is an absolute parsimony of worthwhile information.. waste of time...
