Hello fellow Photographers. I'm a landscape photographer based in southern Germany near Lake Constance (Bodensee) shooting landscapes since 2009. I've set my goal to become one of the best landscape photographers of Germany while still doing it just as a hobby. On my way to achieve this goal, I'll be publishing new videos showing you the whole post processing workflow through Lightroom, Photoshop and other helpful tools. Besides that I'm also doing timelapse videos.

Hallo liebe Fotografen. Ich bin Landschaftsfotograf aus Baden-Württemberg, Deutschland nahe des Bodensees und fotografiere Landschaft seit 2009. Ich habe mir als Ziel gesetzt, einer der besten Landschaftsfotografen Deutschlands zu werden, ohne aus meinem Hobby ein Beruf zu machen. Auf diesem Kanal zeige ich euch Videos über die Nachbearbeitung meiner Bilder mit Hilfe von Lightroom, Photoshop und anderer hilfreicher Software. Neben den Tutorials werde ich ab und an auch mal ein Zeitraffer-Video veröffentlichen.
Out of curiousity, why did you take the image at 3,200ISO and f14 at 1/20 sec? Surely you could have achieved a higher quality image using 100ISO, f4 and 1/8 sec. Sharpness, contrast, colour saturation and noise/grain would all have been better. The nearest object is well into infinity so aperture shouldn't have needed to be in the diffraction range and the water doesn't have perfect reflections so speed needn't have been so high.
Thank you for sharing the workflow using the colour balance tools Christian. Is there a way we can focus our colour balance adjustments to a portion of a photo? I tried using a mask in Camera Raw but didn't have the colour tools available, Did I miss something or are they just not there? Or is there a way within Photoshop to limit the area when using an adjustment layer? Thanks so much
This video is ever so helpful. In the last week or so I have gone out early several mornings to photograph the sunrise. Wish I had known this technique prior as several photos have so many flares they are almost unusable. Although the last part of the video where you create several layers to create a more realistic center of the sun can be used right now on my images. All the best.
I have edited photos in a similar style and loved the effect of giving the shadows a colorcast into the blue/green. It looks like black and white with more punch.
A really good video, Christian! As usual. I learned a lot from following you. Speaking of which, some time ago you had a time blending video. Is there any way you could do another one? What I'd like to learn is how to blend a long exposure with a sharp image. For example, if you want to smooth water but have a boat (or people walking along the shore) in sharp focus? I hope I'm not unreasonable. Thanks!
Great job 👍 The way you use Photoshop at the end to strighten the image is amazing 👍 I didn’t use CTRL + T that way until now, I will do it now.Thanks for sharing
I do like watching these videos and am learning lots. As someone who doesn't use Photoshop very much, it would be great to see more, including detailed instructions on how to switch between the two.
