Brilliant! Thanks Charlie! This was made a little while ago and lightroom has lots of new masking features now so I'd say have a play around with them too! Happy shooting and editing.

Thanks so much for the lovely comment. I'm glad you stumbled across the video! Wishing You Happy (fog free 🤣) hiking 🥾

Thank you so much, really glad you enjoyed it!

Thanks very much Chris!! Really glad you enjoyed it and found it useful :) thanks for taking time to leave a comment

@@PeterSladenPhotography I tried out some of these techniques on a woodland waterfall I took back in the summer and it turned out fantastic. I was already using the Orton effect but was painting on a mask to select where it is applied. I had not previously considered luminosity. Affinity photo 2 allows a curves adjustment on a luminosity mask, and this achieved the same result as the TK add in. Finally what really made a difference was using the HSL and a mask to add some blue into the waterfall and add some yellow into the greens as you demonstrated. My Canon 7DMKii has a tendency to overdo the green. I think there will be some fog Sunday, so looking forward to trying out some shots. I've actually avoided fog previously as I'm only 3 years into photography and still on that learning curve.

Hey Chris, so glad to hear all this! Great you went back to some old pictures too, to have a play around with the editing! Hope you managed to get out in the fog it can help make for amazing atmospheric photos! Happy shooting!

Thanks so much for commenting Adrian and great to hear from you! Hope you're doing well. It sounds great, foggy conditions are the best when they happen. Yes I think balance may be key, some compositions you need to be really picky with and others it's sometimes better to just go with it. Thanks again and have a great day.

Thank you for commenting! It is beautiful this time of the year. Hoping to go out and photograph the bluebells again very soon :)

Thanks Russ! Yes everything is looking a bit lifeless now in the woods! Filmed this one a little while back :) did manage to get out in the snow too which was nice!

Hey Ed, thanks so much for the comment that's very kind of you to check in! I'm all good thank you, life went very, very busy around summer and so I'd struggled to make videos during that time. Funnily enough I was just out this morning with amazing foggy conditions and made a little video which I hope to have up soon. I hope you're well too and have managed to get out and about to do some photography. Thanks so much again

Thanks so much for the kind words, it was an amazing location!

Hey Russ, thanks for the comment and subscribing, that's a really great point about the greens becoming too dominant. I do really love the slightly cooler more desaturated greens in the film too. Have a great day!

Thanks again for commenting! Yes I'm a bit undecided between which I prefer, definitely the tones of the film are very nice. Ektar is lovely. Do you post your images online anywhere it would be great to check them out some time?

@@PeterSladenPhotography Yeah I have a few on flickr (links in profile) - mostly digital though. I'm still at the experimentation stage with film really!

Thanks for commenting, yes that really caught my eye too!

Thanks so much Marine glad you found it helpful! Have a great day!

Thanks Kamila, I think you've put it into words very well, I was struggling to describe the different looks and feels of the film myself! I'm definitely going to keep taking the film camera out with me :)

Hey Adrian, thanks as always for the thoughtful comment, I was amazed when I arrived at the location, it's very far from my home so had to make the most of exploring it. It was one of the most unspoilt and wild woodlands I've seen here. Definitely agree with the film they do have a quality to them that's had to put into words. Loved your recent image of the two trees by the water! Have a great day

@@PeterSladenPhotographyI’m very envious of those woodlands. But I do try to make the most of our unique forests and woodlands here too. Thanks for compliment on the gum trees, I think you would enjoy seeing how big they really are!

Hey Conch! Thanks so much for checking the video out, especially appreciate that knowing you aren't really into photography! Really glad that came across in the video, this one was really fun to make because the location was so incredible felt like an enchanted/ prehistoric wood. It was brilliant. Thank you again!!!

Hey Axel, thanks as always for the thoughtful comment. That's a great point about the look/feel of the crop sensor. I mainly just have my film camera for fun and travel but thought it would be nice to try with my woodland photos, definitely going to take it it with me more, went out with it a couple more times after this. Yes, this location was breathtaking, it's very far from where I live, the woodland near me isn't quite as enchanted and ancient looking, it was amazing to explore for a couple of days. Yes, I'm still always trying to get too much in the images sometimes but thought that area was beautiful. I'm undecided which I prefer between the film and digital, I like them both for different reasons. Thanks again and look forward to seeing more of your images on IG.

Thanks so much for commenting again, and really glad you liked the video, it was a fun one to make, a really amazing morning/afternoon of shooting. Definitely agree with film still having a place, also love the colours of that film. I'm going to carry on taking the film camera out and about with me I think :) thanks again!

Thanks again for commenting :) yes the look does have something special to it, definitely think it works with the foggy woodland too. Agree with the primes forcing you to be more creative! Have a great day!

Thanks so much for commenting, Yes there is definitely something great about the look of film that's hard to put into words. Have a good day!

Thanks Kamila!! It was worth the wait, I'll definitely go back to the location again one day!

Thanks so much for the kind words, I've recently been back to this spot and managed to get a few more photos, it's completely transformed in Spring :) have a great day

Hahaha thank you, it's a great one XD

Hey Axel, thanks! yes I think it was the same date we just had one day of sudden snow, it didn't last very long. Yes I think I'm happiest with that image I think the others are ones to come back too with different conditions. Hope you're well :)

Thanks very much for the comment, yes I thought it was a great subject. I actually think I'll have to revisit it again in the future as I think there is still more potential for other shots or even better conditions. Wow, yes that sounds like a great combination for a photo and worth the wait. The fact that one of the trees has gone now makes it seem more special. Thanks again and have a great day!

Thanks Justin! I was just back there a few days ago and it's completely transformed now it's Spring. I should have a video from there soon :) have a great day

Thanks so much Dan, really glad you found the video useful!

Thanks for the comment! This is in Kent, UK there are several bluebell woods but Kings Wood usually has the most bluebells :) have a great weekend!

@@PeterSladenPhotography Thank you Peter! You too!

Hey Abbie, thanks so much for the kind words really glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful. Yes! There was actually about 30 or more deer that went past, I didn't actually notice until I went through the footage when I was home though! Just working on a new video now :) have a great day/ evening

Thanks so much Ed! You were one of the first subscribers so really appreciate the continued support! Hope you got some useful tips out the video :)

Thanks again Adrian for taking time to comment! Glad you enjoyed the video, have a great day!

@@PeterSladenPhotography It was actually handy to see your approach as I need to edit these images from last week with Silver Birches as that is not my natural environment.

Thanks so much Axel really glad you liked the Video. Yes it can be a great effect for different situations. Glad there was something new (the TK panel) in the video for you to check out too. Happy shooting!

Hey Lance, thanks so much for the comment, really glad you liked the video and great to hear you're getting into woodland photography! I've planned a new video with some additional editing tips which I hope to put together soon, have a great weekend and happy shooting in the woods!

Hey Lance, just recently released a new updated editing workflow which may be helpful for you, have a great day!

Thanks again for the lovely comment! This is over in Kent :) the colours were amazing last year!

Thanks so much for commenting, I'm definitely leaning more towards more realistic/naturalistic editing nowadays. That's a really good tip and great for getting a perspective on things! Thanks again and have a great day!

Thanks for the comment! Yes love using pro mist filters in video work and in photos too depending on the situation. I hadn't noticed that myself that sounds really interesting! I'll have to have a look back through and keep an eye out. Thanks again for the comment and have a great day!

Thanks so much again James for all the kind words and support! Really glad you're enjoying the videos, watched your woodland one too recently, looks like a great spot!

Hi Axel, Thanks so much for such a thoughtful comment and the kind words. Completely agree with what you have said, sometimes you just need to know when to take a break and completely switch off, it can seem counter intuitive and there is often a lot of pressure to just keep going/shooting but I think have a break is hugely beneficial. I'm hoping for a lovely, snowy day too! I've also found just looking for a new area to explore and not putting any pressure on yourself to take great images or even any images and just treat it as a scouting, exploration trip can be really helpful for regaining your inspiration. Thanks again and hope you have a great break!

Thanks Allan, yes one other person recommended these too they look very good! I've saved them to a wishlist I think I'll drop some hints for my Birthday XD thanks again!

Hey Allan, thanks so much for the comment, I've started a plan for an updated editing video, my first ever video was a woodland editing video, however there are some new lightroom features since then, I'll try and cover an updated editing work flow in the new video hopefully soon! Have a great day!

@@PeterSladenPhotography Thank you, Peter, that is very kind of you...

@@allandavies1187 Hey Allan, I've just released a video with an updated editing workflow which should hopefully help you out with your post processing, have a great day!

Thanks so much Kenny, that area of woodland looked amazing in the fog, very atmospheric. Thanks for taking time to comment!

Thanks Max! Really appreciate the comment and glad you liked the video!

Hey Ed, thanks so much for the continued support, I think you were one of the first people to follow this channel so hugely appreciate that! Really glad you liked the mood and edits, Happy new year!

Thanks so much, it was a great couple of mornings of shooting

Thanks so much for the kind comment! Really glad you enjoyed the shots in the video :)
