A photographer asked me a few weeks ago how did I get good at the photography I shoot. I told him that I still don't consider myself as a good photographer and that I am still learning. I feel like there is always something new to learn. It's good to see guys, at your stage and influence, in the game still sharing that they've learnt something new. This type of video resonates with me. I don't think tutorials are dead. I don't think tutorials will ever die. Love this video. As always, keep up the good work. Much appreciated.

Have any of you noticed that Peter is featuring other creators more often? What a fantastic way to support others and build community!

Iceland is so surreal that it's easy to go trigger happy and take thousands of photos anywhere you look. Everyone focuses on the waterfalls and jeez that is not even the prettiest thing. There is SO much more! Love that country.

Oh, a video where Pete collaborated with a genius creator to create a tutorial editing content from Iceland? A classic Peter McKinnon recipe we all love and appreciate.

[DomChrisOwens]

At least 85-90% of the time I spend on editing is mask edits, esspeically for photos that require major light correction, or that would benefit from seperation between key focus areas.

I'll say this, Ben is 100% correct, once you begin to look at light differently while editing you'll never look at photography and editing the same way again!

Omg! Ben’s all black setup just blew my mind and gave me literal chills.

[AlanaWatersPiper]

I've been working in Photoshop & Lightroom for YEARS professionally and I still learn new things from your videos. Always a joy! (Also, I want to snuggle that cute little fox!)

[danigonzalez]

love the newer Jeep but I do LOVE how the OLD Defender goes everywhere. That is a beast and a piece of engineering.

That Iceland was the first trip abroad I ever took… backpacked through the country for 18 days and it is an incredible place. Both of you helped bring back memories, thanks as always Pete

[gracebranding]

[rvfamilylife]

It's like he took the name Lightroom to a whole new level. Amazing way to reshape the lighting on that mountain.

[BenjaminHardman]

Happy birthday dude!! Cheers to endless masking 😄

[thorstenhahn]

Thanks Peter to draw the attention to Benjamin. How great are these lightroom adjustments. AWESOME! Really appreciate.

[GertKracht]

Those dark dunes are magic! It's like watching our Dutch coastline with a thin layer of coffee grind on top.

[MagicallyMusical]

You're amazing! Happy birthday Peter McKinnon! Glad you enjoyed Iceland! 😊

[Luis.Freitas.Photography]

You are by far the one person that inspired me the most to pursue my love for photography. Been following you for years and your work is always inspiring and motivating.

Keep it up, Pete!

[NHUkraine]

Holy crap! The lighting on Ben in his instructional part of this video is awesome too.

[Jake.Sherlock]

these are techniques I have been using since I started learning photoshop…in 1997. Benjamin has totally mastered it. 100% do all the same with my current photography.

[RGMGFitness]

Been so waiting for this! Thanks for delivering Peter. Great reminder how 'LIGHTING' is *EVERYTHING!!* My wife's been shooting wedding's and it's all about the lighting..just makes sense that the same holds true with landscape photography as well....thanks for the reminder!
