Edit Landscape Photos in Adobe Lightroom

http://cazillo.com/articles/37-photography/117-creating-blue-skies-in-adobe-l...

I had way too many requests that I couldn't ignore last week when I showed you my photos from Red Rock Canyon outside of Las Vegas Nevada. So for all you that requested it...here you go!

First, as always, we need to start with a good histogram and well exposed image. The first photo has very little contrast but a very good starting point. There is plenty of data to work with, especially from a RAW file, it just needed to be moved around.

The second I thought was a complete goner. Unfortunately it was overexposed, skies almost gone with cloud cover and a histogram pushed way to far to the right. Check out the video to see how I created both of these images...enjoy!

I have no idea what happened between you n Jared... But I obviously heard of you through FroKnowsPhoto... I must say tho, I have always preferred your stuff, I feel like you "know photo's" whereas Jared is a freestyler...

Only just realised you have your own channel! So good stuff!

@dukoduli color profile choice doesn't matter when you shoot RAW. I prefer to leave it on sRGB so my filenames are dsc_0000.nef instead of _dsc0000.nef.

@felipe200794 Its all a matter of taste. I prefer color for that image.
