The peaks of Tre Cime in the Dolomites are among my favourite places in the world.
In this video I look at my thoughts and considerations in the field, and in the second part of the video go over my Lightroom editing process for one of the images I captured there

These capture to processing videos are so helpful, thanks for giving us another quality one 👍 Good to be reminded that there is no substitute for getting the shot right in the field. And good also to see again your minimal (but so effective) approach to editing ... will certainly try practicing your 'think about where I want the image to go' approach, it makes a lot of sense.

Awesome video Andy, I find these workflow videos incredibly useful! And it really is an amazing location... the hike up there isn't that bad when you consider the rewards. Well worth the effort!

Hi Paul, glad you enjoy the videos...I want to try to do a couple from each trip, and next year there'll be a fair amount of travelling, so it should be fun. You're right, the hike up there isn't that bad, but for most people on the workshops the first time we get to the top of the saddle (at the base of the peaks, you'll remember) it often requires quite a bit of encouragement to make the the final bit of the climb up to the top where the views the best :-)

@davidligon6088 Год назад

Your videos, and your work are excellent. You bracketed exposure for the sky to create an HDR. I also noticed you had edited the darker bracket before the HDR blending. What was the bracketing offset and what was your objective with editing the darker image?

@AndyMumford Год назад

Thanks so much. My bracketing range is usually 2 stops below and 2 stops above, but I think in this case it was just one. I did this over a year ago and can't remember my thinking now, but I often tinker around with images first to see what I can do with them and only blend if I really have to

@nikkorojo 2 года назад

Could you please make a video on how you set up your export settings of your images when working from Lightroom and Photoshop? Thank you very much!

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment Nikko. I'm not sure there's really enough there to make a video from. My LR export settings are pretty standard. 300dpi and TIFF if it's a print, 72dpi and jpg for a web image. In PS it's the same, save at a quality of 10. Sharpening is done in PS and really depends on the image, and whether it will be a print or a web image

@CorDa 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing this process, Andy! Super insightful and helpful. I find your images to be the most detailed of any Fuji x photographer I follow, regardless of lens or camera, and I was wondering if bracketing your images is something you do often as part of your work flow. The level of detail you manage to acquire in your images is incredible. Blown away by your work constantly.

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the comment, I'm really glad you enjoyed the video. As fo red detail in my images...I'm not sure really...I don't think it's because of bracketing (I don' t bracket in many of my images). It's just careful use of Clarity, Texture, and then sharpening the image when I resize it for the web

@CorDa 2 года назад

@@AndyMumford I've struggled with the export process in the past, exporting from Lightroom for the web (Instagram/Facebook). Their algorithms seem to squash and muddy most of my images so I've tried different resolutions when exporting and trying different workflows for exporting - exporting to desktop, then to Google drive, then to the web in hopes of retaining image quality, with varying degrees of success.

@yannote8302 2 года назад

Very nice video Andy, as always the complete edition from previsualization/scouting the scenes to capturing and editing the image it's very interesting and so much knowledge can be learn from your experience in the field. I seen you're using new combination for this trip S-X10, Laowa 9mm & 16-55 do you find any lacking/difficulties in composition without the 10-15mm range? Another thing are there any major/minor functionality or features loss/miss compared to X-T3/4 besides the weather sealed from your practical experience using the S-X10 ?. TIA

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Thanks so much for the comment. For this trip I took the 16-55 as I wanted to test it out, but I knew I'd need an ultra wide for some shots, so I took the Laowa with me. I didn't want to take the 10-24mm as 3 zooms adds a lot of weight and we were doing a lot of long walks at altitude. As for the XS10, I don't find any real loss of features with it compared to the XT4 (I use both side by side). The controls are different, and it's less intuitive to use, but I don't feel it misses anything.

@my2004rt 2 года назад

Excellent video.. question I still have is about preparing the image for printing. Perhaps you can show a little bit about your print workflow.

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

@michaelgoulding4425 2 года назад

amazing place and video. i was wondering. what made you go for the camera's that you did and not go for the GFX series ?

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Thanks so much. The GFX is a lovely system, but it's heavy and it's limited in terms of focal range. I hike a lot, I carry a drone and a couple of bodies, and I like to have a focal range that covers ultra wide and wide, and then telephoto zoom, and to take the GFX would make a huge increase in the amount of weight in my pack. It's a very subjective and personal thing, but for me the kind of image quality that the GFX gives is more than what I actually need. A 26mp camera is plenty for 60cm prints, and enough for me really.

@alexanderchaker 2 года назад

How could you get that focus over all the range? Didn't use focus bracketing? I also noticed the RAF files in Lightroom show the aperture as f1.0.

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

The depth of field at 9mm around f8 is very very big on an APS-C camera. The focal field starts around 80cm infront of the camera and extends to infinity, so there's no need to focus stack...only when you have something really close to the lens like a flower or something. The reason the aperture is showing as f1.0 is because the lens I was using (Laowa 9mm f2.8) is a completely manual lens and has no electronics in it. It basically doesn't communicate with the camera what it is or what the settings are in the way a Fuji lens does. To use it, you have to configure the camera to "Shoot with no lens", which is basically what the camera things it's doing, and so defaults to f1.0

@fernanddurler5822 2 года назад

Hi Andy..i have an old sony 7r2, it just does not excite me and doesn’t fit my hand well! It was gifted to me with batteries and in good shape but sadly I’m not driven to use it as i also find the system too computerised and massive files causing me to have to buy costly editing software and hardware and I’m basically poor, but desperately want to get into my photography again! I love the look of fuji and have visited the camera exchange in Guildford several; times to feel the fuji X system- love the look so far the xt2 felt more solid than the newer light weight bodies. I’m seriously looking at the value proposition posted on utube on for the XH1? Any advise i would greatly appreciate to get into the system - I favour a good viewfinder, larger/deeper grip which the xt2,3 and four still seem too shallow to hold with confidence? Perhaps a third party grip is available…? So what would you recommend for travel/landscape fuji on a budget.i would like to print up to A2. As an ex Pentax lover this is a huge shift…i love the look of the K1, and KP- seriously rugged for all terrain with excellent image quality right? I’m setting my sites on Portugal and hopes join you Ona shoot soon! Best regards Fernand

@AndyMumford 2 года назад

Thanks for the comment Fernand. It's really hard to say, I never really liked the XH1...I found it to big, didn't really like the controls (it doesn't really feel like a Fuji camera) and it has absolutely terrible battery life. Personally, on a budget I'd suggest getting the XT3, and then adding a extended grip. I believe Fuji make one, and you can certainly find plenty of third party ones that come with an L-bracket. The viewfinder is better than the XH1 (it's a newer generation) and is just a really solid all round camera

@@AndyMumford cool, thanks, and how difficult is to comeback after sunset from those beaches? Is there any public transport back to Lisbon I won’t be renting car. Great channel Andy by the way your photos are stunning

@@transikk It's not problem to come back after sunset...you just need a torch. From Ursa to the car park it's 15 minutes up the cliff and then 10 minutes to the car park. Louriçal is 15 minutes straight up to the cliff to the car park, and Adraga is a simple walk across the beach. There is a bus that goes from Cabo da Roca to Cascais, then you can catch the train to Lisbon
