This comprehensive 60-minute drone photography masterclass focuses on the technical nuances of editing a complex cityscape. Editing aerial images from a location like Ronda, Spain, requires specific attention to perspective correction and dynamic range management. We move beyond simple presets, focusing on a pro-level workflow that utilizes frequency separation for texture cleanup and dodge and burn techniques to sculpt the light across the Puente Nuevo.
Whether you are an aspiring pro or a fine-art enthusiast, this tutorial covers the "why" behind every slider. We explore how to handle color casts often found in long exposures and how to integrate light trails seamlessly into your blue hour compositions. By the end of this session, you will understand how to bridge the gap between a raw drone capture and a gallery-ready artwork.
