Techniques to Save a Poor Landscape Photo

Of course, we all try to get out photos are close to right as possible in camera, but none of us are perfect, and mistakes will happen. So, if you really miss the mark, what can you do to save an image you really want to use? This excellent video tutorial will show you some helpful tips and techniques for rescuing that shot. 

Coming to you from Mark Denney, this fantastic video tutorial will show you some ways to save a severely underexposed landscape image. Of course, you should aim to get things right in camera, and if you find yourself doing this too often, you should take some time to work on your technique. On the other hand, mistakes will happen, and sometimes, we do not have the luxury of returning to a location of recreating the conditions that were there. Thankfully, modern camera sensors and post-processing software afford us a relatively high degree of latitude, and with that latitude, we can rescue many photos. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Denney.

If you have to go through that much edit you'd really need to master you photography skills in the first place.
