  • Explore the techniques of painters and how to apply this to photography

Hard Sun

Run-time: 2 Hours
Released - February 2017

In this start-to-finish video I go in-depth on my entire process beginning with my thoughts and techniques in the field using wide angle techniques to capture a wider field of view than possible in one image, using different focal lengths to correct the diminished mountains, and discussion of the composition. 

RAW development in Lightroom done in sections to give unique adjustments to the sky, mud cracks, and mountains.

Advanced Photoshop techniques covering focus stacking, orton effect, light bleed, glow, creating mood with color adjustments, burning and dodging using luminosity masks to retain contrast, focal length blending, atmospheric effects, warping using puppet warp, and blending exposures using the color range tool.

Finally, I show how to finish off the image with specialized sharpening for web viewing, and dive into sharpening for print, resizing to create large prints, and soft proofing for printing.

Note: RAW files are included to experiment on your own

I have purchased several tutorials from David Kingham, and other photographers, but Hard Sun is by far one of the most informative tutorials I have watched. I often consider a good tutorial one that starts from the very beginning to all the way through the end. David does a great job at explaining why he does certain things, very easy to follow his steps, and the editing of the video is very well done. It would be hard to ask for much more for those who are serious about learning.
