LOCATIONZ : landscape lessons on location & post-processing

About this course:

This masterclass has been created for the Intermediate-level photographer who wants to improve their Landscape Photos.
Each location shoot has been deconstructed into 4 topics:

  1. Chasing The Light: planning, scouting, light quality, and dozens of tips specific to scenic photography.
  2. Composition: how to frame your shots, using techniques to create balanced and interesting images.
  3. Camera Settings: aperture, shutter speed, I.S.O., how and where to focus, plus the use of filters and accessories.
  4. Computer Workflow: how to develop and enhance a digital negative (RAW) file. From basic exposure tweaks, to complex Luminosity Masking.

What will I learn?

  • By the end of this course, you will understand how to plan and implement your location shoots.
  • You will become more confident in using industry-standard software to edit and enhance your RAW photos.

Features:

  • 10 lessons on location (in the field) - from a qualified teacher
  • 10 post-processing lessons in Adobe Camera Raw & Photoshop - from an experienced pro photo editor
  • RAW files from the location shoots, so you can follow along with the tutorials
  • Transcripts of all Photoshop tutorials. Download & print them off for reference
  • 12 x Behind The Scenes movies showing the photographer's road-trips across New Zealand

Bonuses:

  • 30-day, 100% money-back guarantee on all Udemy courses
  • Preview some of the content - try before you buy!
  • Manually download all the videos and RAW files to your computer - if you are going to be "off the radar."

What you need:

  • Owning a decent DSLR camera would certainly be helpful.
  • Having a copy of Adobe Photoshop loaded onto your PC (or Mac) is vital if you wanna follow the post-processing tutorials, which form the bulk of the course content. You will need enough disk space to download Ray's RAW image files, and sufficient RAM to run Photoshop.
  • Adobe Camera Raw is the app bundled with Photoshop, and is a cut-down version of Lightroom. This is free, and part of Adobe's Creative Cloud Photography plan subscription. (Older, stand-alone versions of Photoshop also include Camera Raw, though this must be up-to-date).

What students are saying: 

  • Pawel Czerwinski: "A great course! I definitely recommend it. It covers topics like setting up your DSLR right for the scene, composition and such.
    The workflow is quite demanding but it gives really impressive results (for example section 9 on Hooker Lake; amazing!)"
  • Peter George: "The composition lessons helped me understand why some of my photos work and others don't, and helped me be more deliberate in my composition."
