A couple of weeks ago, I wanted to film a tutorial on photographing the Milky
Way – but as you may have seen, that didn’t quite work out. Our video series
took a further hiatus when I lost my voice the following week, but we’re back
again! Since I still sound like a potato, I went through the Photography Life Make Every Hour
archives for the following case study – from composition to post-processing – of
two Grand Tetons photos from our Landscape Tutorial.

Excellent video – very helpful. I usually don’t have the patience to watch videos of this length
but this one held my attention. I love it when the photographer takes you on site, shows how
to compose the best photo and goes through in-depth post-processing.

the Snake River to your left.

Helpful points Spencer. You invested some time producing this video! Recently I have been
shooting similar land and seascapes with a bit out of focus capture then reducing LR clarity
and dehaze and muting the colors – looks like a Monet, ha. Anyway just having some fun with
something different.

Thank you, Ralph, I’m happy you liked it! There are plenty of clever ways to use
Lightroom and other software beyond the “expected” uses – it’s all about imparting the
right emotion.
