In this video, rather than going out and shooting the sweeping mountain scenery of Slovenia, I head down the Sava River and try some simple landscape photography. I pick out some simple scenes of the trees beside the river and show you once again the benefits of using a telephoto lens for getting close to your subject. I also show you how you can use the white balance as a warm up filter.

I photograph the scene, then take you into Adobe Camera RAW & Photoshop and show you how I edit the photos, deal with a mistake I made when shooting and also how I use the colour mixer to bring out the colour and light on the tree trunks. Then, I show you how I put the photos up for sale on Fine Art America and Smugmug.
