Nature Photography How To

Last week we featured a tutorial explaining how photographers of all skill levels can shoot impressive wildlife photos with whatever cameras they own. Today we're moving on to the next step in the process with a straightforward lesson on enhancing these great images in Lightroom.

Ask a bunch of experienced photographers to name their favorite season for shooting landscapes, and what do you get? Typically the emphatic responsive will be a resounding "autumn" or "fall." Most of the time even the best colorful warm-toned images can be improved a bit during the editing process, and that's what you'll learn how to do below.

If you're unfamiliar with Lightroom's Intersect tool you're in for a treat because the tutorial below from the PHOLG Photography YouTube channel explains how to use it to easily create "insanely complex" masks. And that means photos with accurate exposures, beautiful natural colors, and much more.

This is a great time of year for landscape photography, whether you want to capture the remnants of summer, the unfolding warm colors of autumn, beautiful Golden Hour images, or awe-inspiring sunsets. Last week we featured an unfamiliar Photoshop Curves trick for enhancing these types of images, and today's tutorial from the Park Cameras YouTube channel is all about getting it done in the camera.

Most outdoor photographers know that using a Curves adjustment in Photoshop or Lightroom is one of the best ways to add contrast and boost the tonality in an image to make it more compelling. But there's a unique trick for using Curves in Photoshop, and it works wonders with one simple adjustment.

Today's Photoshop tutorial addresses a very common problem that many of us encounter when shooting landscapes, environmental portraits, and other photographs outdoors. It occurs when your camera is pointed up or down, rather than flat to the horizon.

Let's say you capture a nice image, and you want to bring out a bit more detail during the editing process. It doesn't matter whether the photo is a portrait, macro shot, a landscape scene, or something else. What's your strategy?
