The Macbook is hidden from the camera. I came to photography through Photoshop having taught myself from books and the internet how to work most of it and deciding I needed my own photos. I dutifully read his early tutorials on how to do HDR using Photomatix and tried my own, which were never as good and looking back, pretty overcooked to start with.
I eventually became semi-pro. So when I saw the Fstoppers were going to do a set of tutorials with Elia I was stoked and waited patiently for months for them to come out. They final came out and I was initially hesitant due to the pricing and because I already knew a lot about Photoshop. Now having watched every single one it would be unfair to compare these to other training sites.
Sure they are a bit more expensive, but so it a Porsche compared to a Toyota, and with these tutes you are getting the Porsche of tutorials. The files he provides to work along with also are high quality and help the lessons stick in the memory. The video quality is amazing on a HD TV and worth watching just for the drone imagery.
Having a good grasp of Photoshop and its associated plugins, I was really happy with just how much I learnt from the videos. More importantly, I picked up a lot of tips about photography and composition generally. I can highly recommend them to anyone who wants to develop their landscape photography, no matter how experienced you might be. I have gone now and reworked my images from a recent NZ trip using the stuff I've learnt and they are so much better.
It has also inspired me to get my Wacom tablet back out and try again to master it. These really are worth every penny. The behind the scenes stuff is entertaining too, loved the bungie section. Love this tutorial, even tho I've only watched the first couple of videos I can't give them enough praise. Unlike others in this group who have tried other e learning courses this is my first. From what I've seen so far I'm blown away with the quality and depth of knowledge shared by Elia Locardi both in the field and back at the studio.
Having never really edited any of my photos and only within the last 8 months started shooting RAW, I've got lots to learn from everyone. I consider the cost of this course as a great investment in taking my photography to the next level, and given myself a buzz to get more into landscape photography.
I think this will be the first of many courses. One of the most easy to follow video tutorials. From photographing the scene to making it your art piece in post.
Excellent learning and entertaining value. I hope the next video tutorial will be released soon. I am really looking forward to it.
A little feedback, I do hope to see more workflow using luminosity mask. I think is an essential tool for landscapes and cityscapes works.
Thanks for the nice compliment Vincent. I'm very happy to hear you enjoyed the tutorials. I cover luminosity masking towards the end of Iceland and into New Zealand. Yes I do. What I meant was perhaps creating your own masks, targeted mask and how to refine the masks.
For instance, when I want to brighten my shadows, i usually want to keep the really dark area unaffected to maintain contrast. I know for certain he covers this at the Wanaka Tree and elsewhere in the tutorial. I'm not expert on illumination masks but I remember Elia specifically selecting masks for just the shadows, highlights, and then inverting both to get a mid tones only mask.
In just a few simple words: this course is awesome. Either you're a beginner or an advanced landscape photographer you will find in-depth explanations of shooting and post processing techniques which will help take your own photography to the next level. And Elia's style of teaching is amazing, not only an excellent landscape photographer but also a great teacher. This is the first series of a number of tutorials which will be released in the next few months and will cover astrophotography and cityscape photography as well.
Highly recommended! I hope this big file to download is splitted in several parts,as such a big file is difficult to download. Yes, each files is less than 2GB so you should be able to download multiple files pretty easily. If not, we do offer the USB option so you can have the entire thing delivered to your home.

Thanks 1 Can I fly in the above places? Steve Pope - July 16, By far one of the best investments I have made this year. Steve Pope - July 17, The post processing tips are superb!
Carey St. Hilaire - July 17, After taking Elia Locardi's Moments in Time face to face training in New York City and receiving a wealth of knowledge, I jumped at another learning opportunity to improve my skills. Gordon Bell - July 18, Having purchased the tutorial from Elia I can strongly recommend any photographer irrespective of experience purchasing this digital adventure. Steve Pope - July 20, One of my favorite parts of Elia's lessons is that you can stop the video and listen to a section over and over until you understand what he is doing and how you can apply the same things to your images.
Rafael Orczy - July 23, great video! Patrick Hall sheri kowalski - July 25, You def need Lightroom or capture one although I guess you could use photoshops Adobe raw editor if you had to. Anonymous sheri kowalski - September 6, [Edited] Given the limited edits he performs in LR, you could easily replicate them in Camera Raw.

I like now to purchase the second tutorial - cityscape photography, do I get a discount for the second set? Thanks, Kay. Because the reviews on this page played an important role in my decision to buy this class, I decided I need to add my voice in the hope it may help someone who may be on the fence deciding if they should buy it.
At first, I was reluctant to buy this video because of the cost. Rarely you can find someone who is a great photographer and can also teach well. Elia Locardi is exceptionally at both. I am sure many of you have watched some tutorials that promise a lot yet never delivered on its hype.
Not the case with Photographing the World with Elia Locardi. I had high expectations for this class and it greatly exceeded it.
There is no hype here, just outstanding and solid photographic education by a true master of his craft. As soon as you start to watch you sense that you are for a very exciting adventure. That this is like nothing you have watched before. You feel like you are right there with Elia. These videos go beyond tutorial and feel more like he is mentoring me. There is no fluff nor a wasted minute here just solid education. Each segment is well thought out and executed. No wasted time. Each tutorial is composed of two parts: Shooting and post processing.
Part 1: Shooting with Elia. He will explain in depth his entire thought process choosing the time of day as well as how he decides on his composition. He explains what and why he chooses to include and exclude in his composition. He covers how to choose where to stand and why. No detail is ignored by Elia. Part 2: Post-production with Elia. He goes into every single detail in how he create his images. He explains the why of his creative process as well as the tools and reasoning behind what he does.
This is extreme education. Each lesson builds on the previous lesson. What I love about the lessons is that Elia goes into great detail in his creative processes and decisions.
You will learn the why and this alone will improve your photography from night to day. If you really and truly want to learn landscape and cityscape photography and improve your photography, this is a must investment. The videos are beautifully made, a tribute to Patrick and Lee hard work. You guys did an amazing job. You can own the most expensive camera equipment in the world, but without the proper knowledge, you are just a camera owner.
A great education is an imperative to be able to take the tools we have and empower our creativity and master our craft. If you're a beginner on a budget and have a choice between this tutorial and the Gulf Photo workshop with Elia, which would you choose? Man that's a tough one. Here are some of my thoughts on it. If you are a beginner and really want to soak up a bunch of different situations and be able to go back and rewatch Elia's post processing, I would say the Tutorial is hard to beat.
If you want an incredible experience and want to come home with some photos of your own, GPP in Dubai is a once in a lifetime experience. However, with the complexity of Elia's post production, I fear that if you do not have the tutorial you will forget a lot of what is taught and potentially some of the issues he solves in Cityscapes might not present themselves during his day workshop in Dubai.
That makes sense. I'm excited about the post processing of it all so I think I'll get the course. Hopefully he's in dubai again next year and I'll have improved a bit by then to be able to get the most out of it. I bought this tutorial and tried downloading Capture One. I installed the Sony version, but it seems very buggy, and it constantly crashes.
I just finished all of landscape and cityscape tutorials. It took quite some time but was infinitely rewarding in both it's entertainment value as well as rich with advanced techniques that even a pro photographer of ten years like me could learn a lot from. I thoroughly enjoyed the on location narration not just to experience Elia's decision making process but also to witness another photographer going through some of the same dilemmas and options I often do.
As I and most photographers often work in a bit of a void it's good to virtually walk along side another working photographer. But where it shines is in the masterful planning of the shots and retouching of the well prepared exposures.
I have already changed my shooting methods to accommodate my newfound editing skills and the results have definitely raised the bar on the quality of my work in a very short time. To buy both of Elia's tutorials is not cheap but it is an investment that returns far more than it costs.
I'm staggered my the amount of time and hard work that went into the making of these well though out tutorials. So don't hesitate or keep reading any more reviews - just get it. It's not an expense it's an investment. I will finish with two warnings though. Be prepared to want to instantly become a travel photographer. Don't let you wife watch them over your shoulder.
In one scene I think it was one of the Victoria's Peak tutorial he talks about being up at 5 a. My wife was looking over my shoulder and exclaimed, "5 a. Hello Lee Morris. I do not have access anymore to the secret facebook group. I have contacted the support 10 minutes ago. Has the group been shut? Best Regards. Honestly a little disappointed with this set, there's no doubt Elia is an exceptional photographer but when only minutes of a 40 minute episode is photography, it's a little disappointing.
I also maybe should have considered the advanced cityscapes as the majority of the content wasn't special or information I haven't found on youtube before, with the exception of Luminosity blending.

Lee Morris Daniel Barragan - December 14, [Edited] Elia does have an intro lesson on the basics of his post work but if you don't know Photoshop well, you may find that he is moving fairly quickly on some lessons.
James Dewarren - December 14, Hi guys. The cityscape version interests me far more than the landscape tutorial. I do have a few questions. If so is there going to be any price promos for purchasing both? Will there be any more tutorials in the series? Regards James. There are currently no plans for a third but it could happen one day. Sebastian Sanchez - December 15, [Edited] Hi Fstoppers and Elia, First of all, I would like to congratulate you for the amazing work that you have done.
Thank you guys for your inspiring work and if you Lee and Patrick or Elia and Naomi need free accommodation in Parma Italy where I live now, my house is yours, as long as you share a bit of your knowledge with me ;- Regards!! Mark Iandolo - December 15, [Edited] Simply put, the money I spent on this tutorial along with the earlier landscape tutorial has been the best investment in my photography outside of 1. Well worth the value! Fabrizio Arata - December 16, This is the second series of video tutorials dedicated to Cityscape and astro photography and as the first episodes it doesnt disappoint at all.
Darren McNeill - December 17, These Tutorials are by far, without a doubt, the best, and only tutorials you will ever need.
