RE: Mount Assiniboine from Nub Peak
Great composition and exposure, a world class photography. Well done! I just get back from a trip in mountains in my country, but they are not so breathtaking as this view...
Thanks. It is a special part of the world around Mt Assiniboine.
Yeah It's bit far for me to get there, but maybe somewhere close to my country, like Austria, should have something closer to the one that you have been. Do you postprocess your images? Is it Lightroom only or Photoshop + Lightroom?
I use Lightroom mostly but occasionally use photoshop. Lots of beautiful places in the European alps.
Occasionally Photoshop? Wow, you must be great at Lightroom then, a great processing there! Again, well done :)
Most shots like this one just take some working in Lightroom and don't need a lot done to them. Lightroom is quite powerful once you are used to using it. I only really use photoshop for luminosity masking if I have a complex shot where the dynamic range is out and I need to recover the highlights (on a waterfall in the sun for example or layering a sun star from some brackets of the sun). I also use smart object in photoshop a little for noise reduction.
Yea I believe I use a bit more Photoshop because of a genre I'm working mostly (Portrait). Skin correction are pretty much super hard to tackle anywhere else. I also use smart object, but more for a shape correction or... adding noise :) Nowadays this "analogue" feel works quite ok for portraits, but I believe not that much in landscape (yet can't tell exactly as I'm not an expert in that field).
However instead of Lightroom (which personally I don't like that much) I use Capture One. It was pretty annoying to switch at very beginning, but nowadays I love how it help me with what I want to achieve. Yet I believe main features like awesome Tethering is not that useful for landscape photography. Have you tried it already? (It's on 30day trial, but it's bit more expensive than Lightroom in general).
I have not tried Capture One; the workflow in Lightroom has worked well for me and what I need so I have not looked around much. Tethering perhaps is not so practical for me as I shoot out in the field. I used to shoot slide film for many years so I was reluctantly brought into editing and like to have more of a minimalist editing style where possible. Obviously things like astrophotography require a lot more post work than daytime shots.
Last thing, I don't want to take too much of your time - do you use any presets in Lightroom or do things on your own? Do you use HSL sliders or not at all? Just wondering :) Thank you for answers!
I don't think I have ever edited for skin tone ;-) . I could probably learn a few things there but I don't shoot a lot of portraits although I am hoping to post more.
