great editing...I usually start by converting to BW using either a red, blue or green filter and blending those together first..

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Great choice 😊 must try that . Thanks for watching ☺️

[@hughand54]

Enjoyed you excellent video and instructions.However,i have only elements and is an old one.What do you suggest for a more up to date photo processing one?.

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Thanks for watching the video 😊There are many editing software to choose from. I suggest you search for one on KZbin. DXO is a good one but it comes with a one time fee.😊

[@TheEmb29]

Very good tutoriel 😊👍

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Thanks so much 😊

[@pesthlm]

Nice video and information Richard! Thanks! For my part, I use Silver Efex 3.0 in the NIK Collection, which gives many opportunities to mix the "boring" photo with. Using the blend mode "Luminosity" also reproduces the colors from the photo. There is an incredible amount to be able to experiment with. I really agree that a boring photo can be transformed into something extra ordinary :-)

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Thanks for the comment. I have silver Efex 3.0 also and sometimes use it. Thanks for watching 😊

Yes in Malta. Thanks for the comment and for watching the video 😊

[@joelwexler]

My pictures have changed since I've watched your videos. My histograms look like yours, leaning left (as do I). It's a whole new style. Could you do all that dodging using the brush and intersecting with a luminance range? For fun, I removed the bridge from your pic using the remove tool. Perfect, like it wasn't there.

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Hey there 🤗 thanks for the lovely comment and happy you enjoyed the video ☺️ yes you can use brush also 😊

Thanks for sharing. It was very interesting. Although I must add, the final result style looks fake because it would never look like that in reality.

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Thanks for your opinion 😊

[@Nico.75]

Why not using a luminance mask instead of so many radial gradients?

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Hi there, Yes i do use luminance mask also but not all the time. Thanks for the comment 😊

[@Nico.75]

@RichardBrockwell-hr1so Very nice final image indeed using that kind of dodge&burn!

Thanks so much 😊

[@hareontherun]

Hello Richard, great work, but: you have already converted your photo to black and white when you show it to the viewer at minute 1:09, but not in Camera Raw, as the profile is still set to ‘Colour’. How and where did you convert it to black and white and was there any editing before camera raw?

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Hi there, yes it was converted to black and white in Photoshop. I have other videos explaining the full process from colour to black and white and then to fine art ☺️. Thanks for noticing and thank you for watching ☺️

[@GavinTaylor01]

So you are a photoshop whizz. I am a photographer.

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

No Photoshop whizz, just editing like all photographers do as we shoot in RAW, and raw files need to be edited 😊 Thanks for the comment 😊

[@hekkebeeb]

Hi Richard...what ND filters are you using including the filter holder?

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Hi there, I'm currently trying out newly purchased K&F magnetic filters ☺️ I also have BENRO filter holder and glass square ND 10 and ND 6 stops ☺️

[@cristibaluta]

The only technique is to take a picture in a good light in the first place, i cannot unsee those unnatural burns. It will help if the landscape is interesting as well

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Thanks for your opinion and for the comment 😊

He’s just showing us his workflow and I very much appreciate his artistry, and his patient teaching skills. Please direct us to your far superior instructional videos with your much better photographs.

@@MrBassflute Thanks for replying to a comment 😊 Much appreciated.

[@alternacja]

Good luck with always getting good light. If you shoot film you will do dodging and burning in a darkroom, digital is no different. But it helps if you know what you’re doing 😄

@@alternacja thanks for the well explained comment 😊

[@JackBlack444]

So actually its all fake! I Always prefer the real shot, because thats the real one. But hey anyway an awesome video. It all depends on someones taste.

[@RichardBrockwell-hr1so]

Thanks for the comment 😊Please bear in mind that photographers shoot in RAW files and you must edit the image in editing software or the image will turn out with no detail and be flat. Thanks for watching and your opinion 😊

[@JackBlack444]

@@RichardBrockwell-hr1so I know that i shoot myself! But do i really think it looks so real, uh no, look at hollywood, its all fake. I just dont like fake thats why i setup my camera in jpeg so it comes close to what is see, but hey its all preference, you do you i do it my way! Thanks. Oke in some situations you gotta shoot raw because of the light conditions, but otherwise no.
