Add monochromatic contrast

Sean McCormack uses Lightroom to save your landscape shots

- 

As a landscape photographer, you're always chasing the light.

You check weather sites, such as Windy.com or ClearOutside.com. You look at Photo Ephemeris or PhotoPills to check sun, moon and star locations, and you make a plan. You get there in plenty of time and set up, ready for the shot. You scope the area and find a composition you like - basically, you've done as much as you can. But, despite the perfectly calm loch, the sun doesn't materialise.

All that travel and effort seem to have been lost. Despite this, you know the only way to get those keepers is to keep going out. Still, just because you didn't get the shot you envisioned doesn't mean you got nothing. The art of landscape photography has two parts. First, the process of getting the shot and then the post-process of making the shot. That's where Lightroom Classic comes in.
