Most of the tutorials we share from image-editing expert Anthony Morganti explain Photoshop and Lightroom techniques for enhancing your photos. Consider this one more of an important maintenance task to keep Lightroom running smoothly and avoid losing track of your hard-earned images.
One of the most important skills in the early development of all photographers is knowing how to interpret the light falling on a scene, and then choosing the camera settings that will result in a perfectly exposure photo. With a bit of knowledge and practice, this quickly becomes second nature—enabling you concentrate on other key variables that make up a great image.
Canon USA produces a series of “EOL Challenges” for its YouTube channel that follow Canon Explorers of Light into the field to shoot images on a theme. This episode stars two EOL photographers we’ve recently featured in Outdoor Photographer, and we thought it would be fun to share this video so you could virtually meet them.
Babnik’s “Interpreting The Landscape” is one of our favorite landscape photography stories of 2021, in which she describes how her background in art history has been formative to her style.
Wildlife photographers with an interest in bears will love Glatzer’s guide to the “Bears Of Katmai National Park” as he provides location, technical and creative advice for photographic success in Alaska.
Back to the video below, Babnik is in the Dolomites of Italy shooting for an epic image of the mountain peaks illuminated by sunset light, while Glatzer is traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway in the U.S. in search of a stunning sunrise. Both photographers talk about their lens choices for the scene and the techniques they used to adapt to the situation.
Both Babnik and Glatzer came away with awesome images, but we give the “win” to Glatzer. As the saying goes, luck favors the prepared—and it paid off for him. See if you agree.
Today’s Photo Of The Day is “Winter Up High Fall In The Valley” by Kevin Cass. Location: Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming.
“The first snowfall in the Tetons is always exciting and gives great contrast throughout the valley,” says Cass.
