This Week on The Grid: Wildlife & Landscape Blind Photo Critiques

This week on The Grid, Scott Kelby and Erik Kuna welcomed wildlife and landscape photographer Richard Bernabe for a special Wildlife & Landscape Blind Photo Critique episode.

From bald eagles and wolves to waterfalls, autumn scenes, and dramatic landscapes, the critiques offered plenty of opportunities to talk about what can be improved both in-camera and later in Lightroom. Scott, Erik, and Richard covered white balance, cropping, distracting backgrounds, harsh highlights, shutter speed, and using light to help separate wildlife from its surroundings.

The editing discussions also showed how relatively small adjustments can make a big difference. Pulling back bright areas, cleaning up distractions, warming or cooling white balance, and making a tighter crop can all help direct attention where you want it.

Richard also shared an important reminder for landscape and wildlife photographers: sometimes the best editing decision starts before you ever open Lightroom. Knowing when the light isn’t working, when to change your position, and when to simply wait can make all the difference.

Watch the replay below and pick up some great ideas for your next wildlife or landscape edit.
