From Start to Finish post processing tutorial
March 26, 2013 | Category: Postprocessing, Tutorials, photography | 11 Comments
My start to finish tutorial video, which I recorded and edited over the last couple of weeks, is finally ready. It was a lot of work but worth it. The tutorial is intended for the intermediate to advanced Photoshop user and will cover all the steps I undertook to create the photo Bloody Causeway. To follow along you should be familiar with adjustment layers, masks and basic filters in Photoshop. I also use LR 4 for the preprocessing. If you don’t have LR and only use Camera Raw that should be ok. Many of the settings are the exact same in both programs and the most part of the tutorial I’ll be using Photoshop anyway.
For details about what I cover in the tutorial you can watch the intro video which is available on youtube
Included in the tutorial is also a short discussion about how I captured the photo, which includes use of Filters and also Fokus stacking. So besides post processing techniques you’ll also get an idea how I work in the field.
If you are interested what others think about the tutorial you might want to read Olaf Bathkes thoughts about the tutorial here. Olaf is a very experienced landscape photographer who knows his trade.
The complete tutorial is roughly 2,5 hours long and can be purchased for 17,50 USD (13Euro). This is a link to an automatic delivery system I’ve set up to make the purchase more comfortable for you. After you pay, you’ll get a temporary download link to the tutorial.
You can contact me through the the contact sheet on my homepage in case anything goes wrong with payment or download. No Paypal? Also no problem, the shop also supports credit cards. If nothing works for you just contact me and we’ll find another way.
Please mind that it might take some days to answer if I’m traveling. If not I usually answer my emails within a day.
regards,
Michael

New Video Tutorials – Quick Tips
March 24, 2013 | Category: Tutorials, Uncategorized | 1 Comment
I started a new series of video Tutorials on my youtube page called Quick Tips. I want to share the first two videos here on my blog too. I recorded them this weekend as I was processing some photos I had taken on the Seychelles last year.
Soft Vignette
Image transformations
If you are interested in my complete workflow for processing photos and not only in such short tips, my Start2Finish video tutorial might be interesting for you. More than 2 hours of video where I show you how I processed one of my Giants Causeway photos.

Articles about my travels
February 6, 2013 | Category: Links | 2 Comments
On Kwerfeldein I have written a couple of articles about my travels. I thought it’s a good idea to share all the direct links here. The articles are in german but they are accompanied by many photos and google translate also does a good job if you’re interested in the details.
 Corsica
|
 Northern Ireland and Donegal
|
 Seychelles
|
 Wales
|
 German Alps
|
 Scotland

I hope you like the selection. I’ll update it from time to time as I write new articles on Kwerfeldein.
cheers,
Michael

In the field – shooting Landscapes
September 20, 2012 | Category: equipment | Leave a Comment
Since some weeks I own one of those smartphones. My old one stopped working after 4 years and I’m already starting to like the new features of my phone as, for example, filming videos in decent quality. 2 Weeks ago I used it to capture a little video where I show my setup when taking landscape photos. I think besides the camera the most important equipment for me are a sturdy tripod and pan head + my lee Filters. Check it out.
Unfortunately I havn’t had time to process the photo I take in the video yet. But it will finally end up on my flickr stream.
