This ebook (A Photographer’s Guide to Luminosity Masks) is a great resource for understanding how luminosity masks are created and how to effectively use them as part of the post processing workflow. I had previously used luminosity masks occasionally, but was unsure of when and how they could benefit an image. This book provides great explanations as well as examples that demonstrate the benefits.

Not only a very helpful guide for beginners and more experienced photographers, but also an extremely well written and illustrated book for everyone who’s looking for inspiration on a high standard. You will want to take photos from the first page and might change the way you shoot from scratch.

Having recently returned from a photography workshop tour of the Lofoten Islands with Chris Hoiberg of www.capturelandscapes.com, I can highly recommend joining one of Chris’s photography tours to be inspired and deepen your photography skills. Not only will the tours be undertaken in beautiful landscapes but Chris will work with you individually to guide you with achieving next level images. Being with Chris reminded me how much I need to learn and has really inspired me to tackle my photographic limitations. During the tour, we also looked at post processing skills with Chris which can be hard to grasp but he manages to simplify it. A memorable trip.

I have just returned from Spain where I joined the “Between Lava and Stars” phototrip to Tenerife hosted by Christian Hoiberg and Giulio Cobianchi. Fantastic!! I’ve been on other photography workshops where I’ve come away feeling like I haven’t learnt anything, not so with Christian and Giulio. This was my first time doing astrophotography and the guys were patient and knowledgeable – they didn’t do it for me, but coached me in scouting for the best compositions, camera set-up, focusing in the dark, both foreground and for the stars, and the all important processing workflow. We had a great group, shot lots of varied subjects (not just the milky way), had fun, and I’ve come away from the trip with not just great images but with a solid foundation of knowledge I can build on. Thank you, Christian and Giulio. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend any of their tours that interest you and I’m keen to explore more of them myself!
