Outdoor Photography How To

We’re going to start this one with a question on a rather controversial topic: What’s your opinion on using Photoshop to replace a boring sky in landscape photos?

Noise reduction is a hot topic these days and we frequently bring you Photoshop and Lightroom tutorials that demonstrate various methods for addressing the problem. This tutorial from Adorama TV takes a totally different tact by exploring the actual relevance of noise reduction tools when shooting with a modern mirrorless camera or DLSR.

Landscape photographer Mark Denney is someone who is really enjoying Adobe's recent update to Lightroom. In fact, he likes one feature so much, he just made a video calling it the best new set of editing tools in Lightroom for developing landscape photos.

Most photographers are gear freaks who chase the latest and greatest imaging innovations, and new cameras tend to be near the top of everyone's list. Maybe you finally want to make the switch from a DSLR to a mirrorless model, or perhaps you want a full-frame camera with more resolution.

This eye-opening tutorial falls into the category of "don't believe everything you've been told." The discussion involves several common myths regarding ISO that need to be debunked if you want to achieve optimum image quality in nature scene, landscape photos, and other images captured in the field.

As an avid photographer, paying close attention to Shutterbug’s articles and tutorials, you’ve become pretty confident about using a camera to achieve sharp, properly exposed images. Congratulations: You’re halfway there.
