  4. I loved the video. The singing??? (keep the day job). It was helpful to see an Urban image along with a Nature image. Did you know if you hold the shift key the linear gradient stays horizontal?

  5. God doesn’t make mistakes. Film and camera manufacturers are not God and therefore photoshop and Lightroom are needed to correct the tonal ranges that extremely expensive camera, lens and film manufacturers cannot correct.

  6. Your work reminds me so much of Thomas Kinkade, often referred to as the "Master of Light". You are indeed a master in your own unique style of painting light with a digital brush. Thanks for your generous gift of teaching those of us aspiring to be artists.

  7. A good explanation of the tools in Lightroom but when dodging and burning, you still have to work in the direction of the light source as in the second photo that you were editing, where the sun is on the lower horizon which would of made from the viewers side of the island and mounds dark with maybe the tops with light halo and sides bathed in light. Just know that if you want a realistic interpretation and that is what we are talking about, then light direction has to be taken into account. Just one other thing , what was that on top of the roof of the building which looked like blown out pixels in the first photo? I am sorry if I seem to be picky but that is just me, I do like to critique when it comes to photography, sorry.

  8. An easier way to handle the gradient filter with the sky is to first select the sky, and then use the intersect function to add the gradient or whatever other tool. That will limit the tool to just the sky. So instead of going small and then big, do the opposite. Same results but it's a bit easier. Love your overall look. I learned most of my post processing from your videos. Thank you so much.
