Fstoppers – Photographing The World – Landscape Photography and Post-Processing | 9.18 GB

Fstoppers has teamed up with Elia Locardi to produce Photographing The World: Landscape Photography & Post-processing. With 15 lessons and more than 12 hours of video content, this tutorial will take you from the on-location capture all the way through Elias post-processing techniques in the studio.

To produce a truly unique landscape tutorial unlike any other, we traveled to both Iceland and New Zealand so we could teach lessons in two completely different climates and seasons. From waterfalls and ice caves in Iceland to lakes and ocean sides in New Zealand, Photographing the World has something for everyone interested in landscape photography.

Whats included in the Digital Download:

-12+ Hours of Video Content (1080p, 23.9fps, H.264 mpg4, over 25GB of material)

-15 On Location and Studio Post-processing Lessons

-Full RAW files and companion software catalogs so you can follow along (Lightroom, PSD, and CaptureONE)

-8 Behind the Scenes episodes of our experiences traveling and filming this incredible project

-Private Elia Facebook Group access for extended education and photo sharing

For these video tutorials, our goal is for you to be able to jump right in and create world class images from day one. So instead of teaching just the basic buttons, sliders and software, we are going to be working on the actual files we captured together in the field. As we go along, the complexity will ramp up, and new tools and techniques will be added in each lesson as you follow along. By the end of this tutorial you will know how to use Elias workflow to produce stunning landscape images of your own.

When building the lessons for this tutorial, it was important for us to teach not only the technical aspects of landscape photography but also the creative and subjective artistry that makes this genre so popular. With this in mind, each lesson contains new challenges and new solutions to help you become better equipped when out in the field.

Bonus Fstoppers Behind the Scenes

As an extra bonus, Lee and Patrick have edited 8 short behind the scenes episode of their travels with Elia and Naomi Locardi. These videos act as a personal diary through both Iceland and New Zealand, giving you an intimate look into how each lesson was filmed and produced. Living life out of a suitcase while carrying 100s of pounds of camera gear isnt always the most glamorous lifestyle but it does makes for some great entertainment.
