Love how you and Gavin work together. From finding the location, the thought behind the shot, the comp and the entire process was spot on. I also learned about the creative process (cheating), haha. Hope to see 2nd edition. One thing I think weโd all like to see, the funny out takes, that Iโm sure you have plenty of. Maybe have Gavin put them together and make make available to those of us who purchased.

Very informative. It is very nice to have the files to follow with and/or do your own edits to them. I found your PSD files very helpful-especially when I saw what you edited and how you edited the areas. I was able to apply some techniques to my photo editing.

I’d buy edition 2 in a heartbeat. That said, I’d suggest U2 skip the one location team shoot. I enjoyed hearing U2 discuss setting up the images, but we ended up with 5 examples of ‘kind-of’ the same general landscapes with ‘kind-of’ same general fall weather. Post was informative but I think with a wider variety of landscapes would enhance the educational aspects. Edition 2 could be images from your respective collection of raw files…let’s see deserts, seascapes, urban, etc. I do think U2 are on to a unique approach to trading and I encourage further refinement. I mentioned elsewhere…why not a Rudis-MattK Ps-LR shootout?

I think you had to much pre hype. When I watched the course, I was lost because it felt like I had already watched it because of watching the pre video. When I watched the course it felt like I had already seen most of it. It was Good, but I would have like to see more HOW to do the edits more instead of showing what the edits were. Does that make sense? I really enjoy the 2 of you together and I love the banter. I have not watched the deleted scenes yet.

It’s fun, and I’m a reviewer for ฦstoppers. But I think someone with less experience will be put off because you casually mention techniques that many buyers will know nothing of. This set presupposes someone is an advanced Photoshop/Lightroom user. I thought your evolution toward good composition was very valuable, and I enjoyed seeing the locations, but I think a purchaser should be warned about needed skill levels.

I have purchased 7 of Blake’s courses. This one is different. To understand why, I need to say a few words about learning styles. I am a visual learner. Most of the previous courses include a great deal of background material in a lecture format with examples. Each building on previous steps. The Great Shots course knits everything together as a visual process helping you to understand both the why and how changes being made in a clear and natural way for a visual learner. To be clear, I already have a reasonably deep understanding of Photoshop. I use blending modes, masks, blend if tools, layers on virtually every image I process. So I already have a good understanding of the value of local adjustments. The Make Great Shots course pulls all the pieces together in a tight package making it far easier for me to review later with I have a need for a specific technique review. This is a very significant difference making this course far more valuable for me.

The course is a masterful union between two good friends that go out and appreciate the beauty of nature in a series of mini adventures that were transformed into a collective set of on-location and editing ideas that can be adapted to make all images be great. I love the underlying theme of making the most of what youโve got while creating fun and memorable times to enjoy mutual interests – itโs a priceless lesson that can be applied anywhere. I am looking forward to the follow up event that involves us putting the lessons into practice. I highly recommend it to anyone wondering whatโs itโs all about.

Getting a closer look at their workflowโespecially how they layer thingsโwas incredibly helpful. It gave me a much better understanding of how to approach one of my projects. I also appreciated the small tricks they used to enhance a single view; those details made a big difference.
Without a doubt I got a lot out this unique course. So Iโd definitely recommend Make Great (or Greater) Shots.

I am from the same part of the world as Gavin although I am in his parents age bracket and don’t part with my money lightly. I have been following Gavin for some time admiring his skills and thinking behind his photography. I have also been using Lightroom as Photoshop was too bewildering to venture in. I was drawn in by the ‘why’ a particular path was chosen followed by how you do it. I have found it a very steep learning curve and have to watch and re-watch the videos to follow how you do it.
I am at the age where I find myself at a door and wonder was I coming in or going out. This course has just what I need to guide me into improving my dull uninspiring photography, hopefully while I know why I have got a camera in my hand in the first place.
Thank you Gavin and Rudi

Would it be possible to make subtitles available for the courses? Recent purchase of a course by Sean Bragshaw came with subtitle files that can be displayed when playing video through, free, VLC app. Currently I have to use Chrome’s auto subtitling which can be a bit hit and miss. I am hearing impaired and having subtitles makes it much easier to follow course.

I have only recently started using Lightroom and Photoshop for my photo editing, having previously been put off by others saying how hard Photoshop was to learn, which indeed it is.
I am part way through Blakes ‘Learn Photoshop in 30 days’ course and have learned so much and am certain that without the course I would never have got to a competent level and just fumbled around with the basic editing functions.
I added the ‘Make Great Shots” course as I was interested to see the start to finish image capture and post processing Blake uses. Due to time constraints of watching and practicing with the daily instruction in ‘Learn Photoshop’, I have only watched the first part of ‘Make Great Shots’ however so far it has lived up to my expectations.
It is presented in a light hearted way but demonstrates Blakes methodology in analysing an image and then building it using the functionality being taught in the 30 day learn Photoshop course. In ‘Making Great Shots’ he not only explains the why but the how in each step of creating the finished image.
It complements the course I am taking but I know it would be of benefit to many seasoned Photoshop users, who may not be using the editing functionality to its fullest. Having spent some of my career in logisitics software sales and coaching, I have seen time and again that users get to a the level of competence necessary to accomplish a task and then stop trying to learn more and subsequent software releases are never explored.
I would therefore recommend ‘Make Great Shots’ to any photoshop users wishing to improve their photo editing,
I am positive they will learn something new and be inspired to re edit some of their previous images, as I am.
