I really liked this video and I suspect that more exposure to your editing style would improve my photography. Consider doing more like this. Thank you.
Thanks a lot Nigel. I hope you feel better. I like this type of video, you show us your way of seeing a photo. I’ll spend more time on my computer without doing anything only imaging what You ’ll do if you were near me...it’ll be a good game...thanks and have a good day.
Loved how the images were transformed with just a few changes. Particularly important is the need for simplicity and removing distractions. Your comments were very informative.
And that’s the beauty of photography highlighted in your video. We all have our own personal perspective, so it’s interesting when someone else crops a shot and makes a new shot from an existing one. Not saying it’s better or worse, as that’s always an individual’s taste, but I love that it can be just so different. 👍🏼
Nigel - thank you so much for editing my submission (Tom Poundall here 😊). I picked this photo as I thought it would enable you to play with the quality of Nikon's raw files (which is excellent to say the least). Photo was taken after a long day of hiking and without a tripod for context. Now that I am back in the UK, I hope our paths meet in the future 😎🙌
Some really fine images from some accomplished photographers. I learned from your editing and reasoning, Nigel, making this another useful video for me. Thank you for making and posting it.
Hi Nigel! I am a big fan of your work and these tips are so helpful, one of the best LR tips I have seen in a RU-vid videos in recent times! Thanks for sharing.
Really great to see how you approach each photo. I think my favourite bit though was when you thought Cliff Sun was the name of the guy who sent it in. Admittedly he was supposed to put his name in the file name, but even so - brilliant 😂👍
Cliff Sun actually posted in the comments here, it's one of the ones that has been "hearted" by Nigel. Just a coincidence that his photo also had a cliff and the sun :)
After looking at the placing and commended images for the competition, I certainly don't envy the task of picking the winner, some absolutely phenomenal images.
Brilliant video and learned a lot on the thought process. It really shows that once composition is nailed, there isn’t a lot that needs to be done from an editing standpoint.
Highly debatable, haha. Especially when you are doing exposure blending or image averaging.. along with a lot of different local adjustments! People like to add their own creative touch :3
That was a really helpful episode. Good to concentrate in some pictures on the crop, in others on the exposure and sometimes „I couldn’t resist“ 😄 Due to fact that there are some photos left you could do a volume 2?
Haha! Love how you cropped out one of the most iconic rocks in Norway and just «shot» the fjord! 😅 It shows you that we should always keep our minds open for other ideas.
Love this. Learn so much. Even when I disagree on the edit, which as you say is often personal taste, it teaches me so much about making those choices. Thanks
Thank you! I learned a lot of different tips pertaining to Lightroom cropping and adjustments. Great photos. Truly, Linda - CREIGHTON Photography Montana
Fantastic video! I enjoyed seeing how you edited other people's photos. Also...way to go with making a 29 minute video fly by! I thought I was halfway through only to see I had like 3 minutes left! 😀
That was helpful, thanks. I tend to put 99% of my effort into the shot and 1% into the edit… and while that’s the correct way around at least, it’s useful to get tips on the latter. An area I’d love to hear more about in future tutorials is colours and colour theory/balance. I suspect lots of us spend our editing time focussing on exposure and details, while forgetting to do anything much about the colours other than tweaking the saturation slider!
Really enjoy these tuts. I'm not a massive landscape photographer but when I do do landscape I need to pay more attention to some of the subtle edits you make in this video. Great work 👍
Learned some great tips. I never thought of saturating colors separately. So much more control than sat slider. I saturate one or two but never bring the entire saturation panel up together. Light bulb.
I am wondering if "Cliff Sun" was a misnomer inspired by the photo itself. Great video, I always think there's nothing left to learn in Lightroom and every time there is!
Great video! I enjoyed the combination of critique and demonstration of editing techniques. I learned a lot, and it was enjoyable to see your thought process. Working on other’s photos gives it a nice twist. I agree with some other commenters that a volume 2 may be in order.
This video made me realize how much more I can do with my lightroom subscription fml I can do sooo much more with my photos! Thank you! Loved this video 🤩 I do have a question... does lightroom desktop has more features than lightroom mobile and lightroom online?
Enjoyed the edits that you did with viewer's images and would like to see additional videos like this. The cropping suggestions and positioning of the camera were very helpfu.
Amazing video, as always. I love how you teach so naturally and it is so great to learn from you here. Thank you so much, Nigel! Love from Brazil ❤️ (btw how's your injury? Are you making progress or fully healed?)
Nigel, an idea for a future video. Could you walk us through how you created one of your most used presets and then explain how you determine which images that this particular preset is applicable for?
Hi Nigel, a quick question on crop ratios. I always feel I should maintain a regular print ratio/crop size whereas you just go off piste and irregular. Would love your input. PS: sorry about the skiing reference ;)
Great video as always. Thinking about the ones you cropped a lot, totally agree with what you did but noticed you had the crop tool open (not using aspect ratio) and wondered if that would affect the ability to print the images, that is, 7x5, 18x12 etc. I always struggle with apsect ratios and printing. Be good to have your view. Thanks Chris.
15:22 that's an incredible shot, and fantastic edit!! Side note: have you seen editing tutorials from starting with BW and then Slowly adding color? It's pretty cool!! Should try it out
Could you do a video to see which phone makes the best prints? I would suggest that the pixel 6 pro, the iPhone 13 and the Samsung 22 ultra are the main contenders? Thanks 👍🏻
I notice when you crop you don’t keep an aspect ratio but rather “free-form crop”. Be curious to see your process someday for preparing an image for printing to fit a standard paper size for example. Great tips on this video thanks!
