Creativity, inspiration, and real life stories from the everyday life of a pro landscape photographer.

In this episode of the Beyond the Lens Video Podcast, I review a couple of products I really like and use regularly. The GuraGear Kiboko 22L+ backpack, which is my go to bag for most of my outings, and some quick release adapters from Xume which really simplify the whole hassle of adding and removing circular filters on your lenses. Check out the in-depth reviews and field tests in the video – thanks for watching!

A week after I recorded this episode, GuraGear sent me a letter stating that they were recalling some Kiboko 22L’s due to some quality issues with the stitching of the shoulder straps. Although I had never noticed any problems, my bag was affected and they sent me a brand new replacement bag free of charge. A big thank you to GuraGear for great service and support!

Video Podcast #8 – Creative Workflow in Lightroom 4

by RR Jr on March 22, 2012

I’m happy to announce that after a long hiatus, the Beyond the Lens Video Podcast is back! It’s been a while since the last episode (almost a year) but I’ve got a bunch of new episodes scheduled for the coming months, so plenty of content coming soon. Lots of developments happening behind the scenes, and you’ll see those over the course of the next few episodes. I’ll have some very rare gear reviews, some interviews with inspiring photographers, and of course some “in the field” footage as I explore the landscape near and far.

In this episode, enjoy a Lightroom 4 tutorial where I process one of my latest images, and talk in-depth about the changes and  improvements to the develop module. I’m excited to be doing the podcast again, so please let me know what you think, and of course I’m always open to ideas and suggestions for improving future episodes and tutorials and making them more useful for you. Thanks for watching!

On this episode of the video podcast, I take you through another creative workflow in Lightroom 3 using a black and white image from my recent trip to Nova Scotia. I filmed the intro in my studio in Beacon NY, and I’m working on a future episode that will focus on a tour of the studio, gear and equipment, and how I use it all on a day to day basis as a landscape photography – coming soon …
