Amazing! Thanks to Phil, Sam and Will for their superior efforts in making this course. The hours spent in the field, early mornings to capture the sunrises, late afternoons/evenings for sunsets, the whole scenario; you guys are so dedicated to your work and profession it's a pleasure to have you all share your skills, knowledge and finest expertise in field of photography. Thank you once again.
By Jurvian on 6/21/2021
Great course, I like it very much how Phil, Sam and Will explain how to do it and I like the one which the three of you edit the same photo. It is great to see each of you how you are editing your photo. This is a great course, I recommend for you whom want to learn more about photography especially Landscape Photography. Thank you Phil, Sam and Will, you guys are amazing.
By Stefanie Köppler on 5/24/2021
I just loved this course. The idea to have three coaches or instructors instead of just one is great - they all have different ideas about what a great photo is, there is never only one way to take a real good photo. You want details in the background? Great, use this setting. Oh, you want the background blurred? Fine, use that setting. I was in a photo-club, we discussed our photos and people started to say things like: don't you know that you use this or that f stop for landscape? No, sorry, I didn't know that and I have different ideas about what MY photos should look like... In this course, that's just fine and that's what I love about it.

There is a lot of useful information in this course. I particularly liked the lesson where all three fellows edited the same photo. It shows that there is more than one way to edit. I also appreciate that PhotoShop and Lightroom were used. The information on creating panoramas is something I will use. I live in the Southwest of the US so the photos were very much like what I take. The information on equipment in the added lessons is good. There was some audio problems in that. It went to mono sound in one. Another had low volume. I can see myself coming back to review the lessons in the future.
By Amy Vaughan on 8/13/2020
The demonstrations part was most helpful. It's helpful to hear them talk through the composition and settings at each landscape. I would've liked to have some variety in the landscapes. A desert setting would be very different from mountains or ocean/beach settings. I understand the need to show us how to edit our photos but it seemed a little over kill. I really liked having all three of them edit the same photo and talk through how they chose to edit the photo and what they would do differently.
By Michael Benson on 3/16/2020
This is the second course on Landscape photography from UDEMY that I have taken. I thought this was a good intro course. The most interesting session was the editing of the same photograph by the 3 presenters. One used PS and the other two used LR. Very different approaches and certainly pointed out the difference in artistic interpretation. One comment, panorama's can also be taken with the camera in a vertical orientation to gather in more height to the seen.
By Víctor M. Pérez on 5/21/2019
Nice course, very interesting showing different perspectives from the 3 instructors. I'm missing a summary at the end of the lessons with the main key points. Though Lightroom might be the de facto standard, it would be nice to explore other editing software like Digital Photo Professional (for Canon Users), or Darktable or RawTherapee (Free and multiplatform).
By John Seed on 12/5/2018
A good course covering the basics in an easy to understand way. Phil, Sam and Will are passionate about their subject without being overbearing. I particularly liked the editing section, as I have very little experience of Lightroom/Photoshop. The lesson where they all edited the same photo was very interesting, especially their respective end results.
By Daniela on 5/1/2018
Siento que no he aprendido tecnicas, ni tips de que lentes usar para poder tomar fotos de paisaje, en lo personas siento que es un docuemental de 3 amigos que van de camping mas que un curso de fotografia.
By David J Marcovitz on 7/9/2017
The image edit sessions are great to watch, seeing how others that know what they are doing edit their photos helps. I would like to have seen more in the field shooting techniques throughout the first of the class videos. I still learned a great amount of information from this course and would recommend it for other beginners interested in the Landscape Arena. Anxiously awaiting the second half of the course.
