Video Tutorial: HDR Landscape with Lightroom

by Victor Augusteo on July 24, 2009

Couple of days ago I posted several photos from Lake Mackintosh, Tasmania and received quite a number of good feedback from my friends and the online community. Numerous people asked me on how to post process the photo. So here I am, presenting to you, my FIRST video tutorial.

What do you need?

You just need to have lightroom 2.0 upwards and the “PH in the city” preset.
I totally forgot where I downloaded it and couldn’t find it at Google. So here it is.

Why does this picture look interesting?

I, for one, believes interestingness depends on the eyes of beholder. But in this photo you can find several composition techniques.

  1. Rule of third. Actually three of them. The wood, the mountain, and the skyline (1/3 of the frame)
  2. Symmetry. Reflection of the mountain and sky creates this effect.
  3. Frame. From using vignettes.
  4. Foreground and Background interest. Landscape has to consist of background AND foreground to be interesting. in this case, the wood and pebbles as foreground, the mountain as midground, and the sky as background.
  5. The serene feeling of the perfect still lake :)

I hope you benefit from my teaching, and please leave a comment :)
