I shot some landscapes of this cool old dam in Hidalgo, Mexico. Mexico has a massive plateau stretching hundreds of miles across the middle of the country. This plateau has been witness to civilizations coming and going since before Rome was an empire, and all those people left things behind. Some of it, like this dam, is still in use. The location and subject were amazing, but the light was tough. I did get an image out of it, and this video is all about doing that.
Enjoy!

A little while back, I published a video for you all about a landscape I made in the jungles of central Mexico.
This week, I have the in-depth making of video that pays special attention to how I edited it. I used my own Seim Effects tools, like Lumist and Alchemist, as well as classic burn and dodge techniques, and I prepared this mini-workshop for you all!
Enjoy!

So, we get a lot of questions about why the latest versions of Lightroom our graying out presets. In short, it’s a quirk of LR and Adobe should make an option to turn it off, but it is only visual. Everything still works fine. Watch the video for details.

So what’s the secret to making digital film looks and great color and tone in presets? That’s something I’ve spent a lot of time with and today I’m going to share some tips for making better edits whether you’re making your own presets or using tools like Filmist or Natural HDR to make it easy, then tweaking them to your taste.
But today we are looking at the Classic Negative profile, a digital version of Sueropia 200 that’s popular on Fuji cameras. I made this so we can use it on any camera.
The Classic Negative look we talked about in today’s video is available for free.
You can Download the free pack on the filmist page.
It now inludes Classic Neg and 8 other film profiles.

December in Tamasopo is not like any winter we’d imagine. But it’s truly magical. These lush jungles of east-central Mexico are safe and easy to access but little known.
I made this video as I shot here, not knowing what I would get and today we’ll talk about the techniques I use to make the light come alive and do beautiful places like this justice.
So here’s a before/after of my favorite image I processed with the new Natural HDR 3 Presets for LR, PS and C1 to bring out the dynamic range without losing the richness of beauty of the shadows. Whether you use NHDR or not, remember that dynamic range is about the mix of light and show. Now about mid-tones. I’ll try to do a video on this soon.
