Mastering dynamic range is the holy grail of landscape photography. This video is a comprehensive guide on how to handle extreme lighting conditions, such as shooting into the sun, by using advanced exposure blending techniques. Instead of relying on automated HDR software which can look fake, we use the Blend If tool in Photoshop to merge images for a natural, high-fidelity result. We tackle the biggest challenges photographers face: preventing blown highlights and eliminating digital noise in the shadows. By the end of this workflow, you will have the confidence to photograph any high-contrast scene, knowing you can recover every pixel of information. We also cover color grading and fine art finishing touches to make your images stand out with a professional polish.
