David Duchens & Enrico Fossati – Sublimate Landscapes – Online Workshop

This is the time when nature offers its magnificent palette of colours. This course will teach you techniques that will allow you to obtain results with a visual “boost” compared to the initial shot. You will be able to create different atmospheres, by playing with light, colours, modifying the sky, or even adding sun rays.

• Shooting :
  technique and advice.
• Sky replacement :
  You will learn how to crop the sky in the “classic” way, using separation masks (preparation on an alpha layer). This technique is very effective for selecting small elements. This will be the case here with the branches and foliage of trees.
• Colours:
  Colours are one of the main elements to work on.
  You will learn to use several of the most impactful settings. The modifications will sometimes be global, but most often localised. You will therefore use tools to select areas of the image.
• Atmosphere:
  As you will have noticed from the images in this course, the overall mood is almost always different from the base image. You will see how to create different moods, sometimes with global applications on the image, but more often by playing on the lights and shadows in a localized way. The creation of rays of light, the dramatization of the sky, or the creation of mist, all contribute strongly to the overall atmosphere. All these techniques will help you achieve the results you want.
• Filters :
  You will discover in this course the use of several filters from the Nik Collection suite (see below the software section). Some of them contribute to work an atmosphere in a very simple way.
