This week’s Episode: Golden Hour Dronage

I like to get my images as close to done as possible while in the field. It saves me many hours later sitting on the computer trying to polish a turd, and this week's edit is no different, even though it was taken with my drone. I always expose for the highlights so I can bring up the shadows later in post.

This location screams for a drone shot, so I picked this one for this week's editing walk-through. I also discuss a mistake I made while composing the shot, so you don't have to when you are getting your shots.

You can watch the transformation exclusively on Patreon, and you can also download the raw file to edit. I’d love for you to join me!
