I really should be focusing on packing for my flight to Germany in a few hours but I got the bug to edit and share an image from Antelope Canyon (Lower). I originally hadn’t envisioned going with a black and white treatment but when I saw this preview pop up as I hovered across my list of Lightroom presets, it instantly made sense. How many of you do a quick hover across your presets to get a quick jolt of direction and inspiration?
Yesterday, I downloaded my copy of Trey Ratcliff‘s new, crazy-in-depth HDR tutorial and was glad to see that he follows a similar process in his editing routine. I have the video downloaded on my laptop and plan on watching it in more depth on my flight to Hamburg via Paris. Trey was nice enough to send me a gratis copy to check out and from what I’ve already seen, I am certain that it is a freaking awesome update to his prior HDR technique tutorials. You can check out the insane 40-minute preview and grab a copy here.

+Brian Matiash I like the BW version since the color version(s) are everywhere this really stands out!
This is wonderful in monochrome!
nice
Yeah man that's awesome!!! Mono treatment here is perfect and love the diffused glow off in the distance. That S curve in the foreground is wicked.
I also like to check what different presets will do:) This is gorgeous! Wonderful treatment! Enjoy your flight!!
also me 2
Great Work!
Nice. It seems most slot canyon photos are shown in color, or pure black/white, it's nice to see one that takes more of a split-toned approach.
I always look at presets first for inspiration and then tweak from there.
Beautiful Brian!
Thank you so much, +Michael Frye, et al.!
Yeah I'm a hoverer
Thanks +Brian Matiash — man you're really gonna like the videos I think! You can jump towards the end if you wanna see the mega hardcore stuff too! :)
I watched the preview and it just makes you want to learn more. I may have to belly up and buy it
Man, this looks great in mono. I love seeing the different version of the same locations from the three of you.
+Brian Matiash, thanks for the inspiration! I'm very new to the HDR scene, but have reviewed many HDR pubs, but a straight forward tutorial would be nice! I'm hoping +Trey Ratcliffhas the solution for detailed info whole making it easy to view everywhere I travel so I have no excuse for not maximizing the post processing part of my brain! Thanks for sharing.
+Brian Matiash Great Shot & Thanks 4 Sharing it on G+ :)))
