Thanks for sharing that really helpful tip on cooling down the background to create depth!

[@StephenBridgett]

Beautiful images Adam. Thanks for sharing

[@brianmckeever5280]

Excellent! Congratulations on the new home!

[@MichaelShainblum]

So good man, I love that 2nd composition!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks, Michael!

[@Myles995]

Love the look of the new book! Great video too!

[@jimtrull683]

I really like how you show the difference between the raw unedited image compared to the finished image. It really shows the impact of the simplicity of your edits.

[@arunasrimkus1922]

Came here from the following week's video seeing that somehow I missed this one. I got goosebumps when you displayed that second desert image. Such great depth in it, I cannot believe it!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@jeffhobson5885]

This was so very helpful thank you Adam!

[@martinoberstein8431]

Great editing, Adam, thank you very much for showing these very different and very impactful ways of creating depth!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My pleasure!

[@blivieriphoto]

Great tips Adam. It's one thing to "know" that light vs dark, warm vs cool, smooth vs textured, saturated vs hazy creates contrast and depth, but it's great to see it done in real life applications, like this. Kind of an "ah ha" moment. Thanks for the video!! Hope you're able to get out shooting again soon.

[@michaelj.1121]

Excellent explanation and absolutely great advice - thanks for sharing

Great video Sir Adam Gibbs. You have that British knack of keeping everything Simple. ✔️

I try

[@robertmccullough2981]

Thank you Adam sorry I missed this first time. good information

[@marydean9900]

Thanks for the really great explanation Adam. I appreciated how you showed different examples of the warm vs the cool background in the dunes.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

My pleasure!

[@cmichaelhaugh8517]

Very helpful! I had not considered using temperature as a depth-creating tool before. Will have to try it.

[@lennartphotography]

Thanks for the tip Adam, great photographs. 🙏😀

I’m always impressed not only by your great skill in both the field and office, but by your ability to teach those skills. Your channel is always a delight to watch Adam.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I appreciate that!

[@hilleviupmanis8687]

Thank you!

You bet!

[@ulrichpflug2644]

Thanks for the explanations. Tested it an it works great.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Great to hear!

[@DavesRvRepair]

Excellent tutorial ! Good luck with your book and with the moving.

[@swissheartydogs]

True Revelation, both literally & figuratively. Thank so much, Adam. Eager to implement it… and to enjoy Land & Light, soon.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

good to hear, thanks!

[@NandishA]

These were solid tips Adam . Thoroughly enjoyed and learnt .

[@trishf29]

A very interesting video, Adam. You’ve taught me a great deal here, especially in using the black and white sliders instead of the contrast. I have used the masks but not quite in the way you did here. So very enlightening, thanks Adam!🇦🇺

[@jennifercrouse]

Wow! I am so glad I watched this. When I first watch your editing videos, I stop and try to imagine what you will do. Well, you got me again! The final image was so much more impactful than the original. The simple dunes really emphasize how much the editing process creates the results you want. Hell, even I might be able to do this! 😊

[@JohnPaul-ii]

Thanks Adam, most effective editing. Stay safe 🇦🇺

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks 👍

[@J5388T]

Excellent video thanks Adam.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Very welcome

[@martinfredriksson1544]

Very good tips. Simple and useful. I used your tips to re-edit some old photos and it was great to see the results. You just gave me more tools to enjoy my hobby more. Thanks!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Great to hear!

[@thomasphillips5850]

Great video , Adam. Very informative as usual . You make it look so easy, thanks as usual.

[@QuietLightPhoto]

Thanks 👍

[@alanatwood7995]

I've been painting drywalling plumbing etc for several months. Glad to see I'm not the only one! I have been learning to use the masks in LR and these videos reinforce what Im learning. Love these Gobi shots. Great job as well. I can tell you've been painting😂

[@LarsKiel]

[@stephaneclaveau9736]

That 200-500 is a great lens for the price, beautiful shots and edits Adam !!

[@QuietLightPhoto]

It really is!

[@markcampbell9082]

Thank you Adam. My default has been to go to the Contrast slider but I can see the additional control and subtlety you can get by approaching contrast with the other tools. Great video 😊!

[@ciprianpopica]

Good luck moving and with the book. Meanwhile... thank you for another great and useful video. I need to check the newsletter. Not sure if I subscribed or not as I also changed email addresses lately 😁

[@georgefrench1907]

Very helpful, Adam, especially for those of use who primarily shoot RAW, which is generally low in contrast. 👍

[@AliasJimWirth]

Hey Adam, excellent tips here. This is really helpful for me even right now. I was working on a photo earlier today with these types of issues and having little success. I will try this. I like how much improvement there can be to the look of a photo with only these little changes. From flat to quite nice. Many thanks. Good luck with the house prep.

[@thanko1]

Very cool, Adam. Headed for Death Valley again in November. Will be able to apply some of this.

[@cbftoan01]

This is extremely helpful. I don't have Photoshop or Lightroom, but I'll see if I can do it on my own software.

[@Speedbird447]

For a moment, when I was looking away hearing it,, I thought it was Sean Bagshaw😂

[@p1pepper]

Dune images are amazing . Not an editing question but a capture question - at f8 and telephoto , did you focus stack ? Seems you would need to ?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

No focus stacking. The foreground in the second shot is blurry but adds to the effect imo

[@romiemiller7876]

I really want a pair of D850 bodies. I have two D800s now. One has the 14-24 mm f2.8, and the other has the 24-120 mm f4. Between the two I have continuous coverage from 14 mm to 120..

[@DennisBater]

Is this book as good as Gavin Hardcastle's book, "Chasing Awe"?

[@QuietLightPhoto]

I can’t believe that’s even a question? Ten times better!

[@DennisBater]

I will take one if you deliver it to my door in Parksville! Only kidding, I am good for one.@@QuietLightPhoto
