Tell us about your most recommended tutorials 2023

I have to say that every.single.one. of Daniel Kordan's tutorials is a massive disappointment. He's such a destructive post-processor.

A tutorial I thought was excellent is Eric Bennett's new "Mindset" series. It's not a tutorial, per se, but an audio companion that you're meant to listen to when you're driving out to your shoots. He's a little wooden in his delivery but delivers some great food for thought in a digestible format.

 

Totally agree with you regarding Daniel Kordan's tuts.

I really enjoyed "Simplify" by Alex Noriega https://p-v.club/threads/alex-noriega-simplify.48002/

(Landscape genre here)

 

@petersan I liked that one, too (landscape genre, here, too). And it seems that my ability to quote reply has disappeared, so apologies for the mention instead.

 

Have to agree - Daniel Kordan's tutorials are the worst. They have such a low production value, bad sound, numerous mistakes, etc. and his destructive workflow is really bad. The Lightroom "Masterclass" is a total joke, you basically don't learn anything useful if you know your way around the software already. I loved Elia's tutorials when he started to work with Fstoppers a couple of years ago but from the fourth tutorial he did with them, the PTW series went downhill and it's not worth wasting time on them anymore, imo.

 

I like the thread. was a good idea to share feedback because then despite having provided some Daniel Kordan's courses I can save a lot of time and skip those ;-). I liked Benjamin Hardman, really unassuming professional. Especially to get in Lightroom a common look and feel was super helpful and understanding how he is doing slection / composition. Not too long the tutorial but I found it good. Will post it probably in Feb when I am back from travels.

 

Sounds great, this has been requested for quite a while here and apparently, it now also includes a video about Lightroom 2023 and the AI features as well.

 

If you want to learn Lightroom-
Ben Willmore - Adobe Lightroom Classic CC: The Complete Guide (24 hrs)

Then to learn Lightroom file management and backups-
Jared Platt - Advanced Adobe Lightroom 5 Workflow (15 hrs)

I was exhausted after watching these classes due to information overload.

 

Yeah I really like Benjamin's minimalistic landscape images and his post processing.....that sounds really interesting.

For landscape B&W images I loved the Vulturelabs tutorial you posted....the workflow was pretty different from anything I had seen before and definitely worth a watch.

 

The Magnum series have all been quite good with very good production levels

 

Ha yes, forgot the Vulturelabs (there are even a whole bunch more), so yes! These I found useful as well. Too often I don't have the patience to do those "extended" editings.
David duChemin I also forgot for me those instructors talking a bit of their philosophy I also very much like to understand the way they think/approach their subject(s).

 

@mr.c will you post the other Vulturelabs tutorials when you return from travel?
