It’s sort of a reverse magic trick: now you don’t see it—now you do.

Experts estimate that over one trillion photographs are taken each year. Only a tiny fraction of them rise to the level of greatness and far fewer merit being called “iconic.” To capture an extraordinary photograph all the necessary elements have to come together—at least for an instant—and the photographer has to be in just the right place to record it.

Landscape photographers walk a fine line when heading into the great outdoors, when it comes choosing the gear to pack. On the one hand, it’s important to be prepared for whatever you encounter. Conversely, it’s nice to minimize your load, especially if you plan a long hike.

The before and after images you see here from young Russian digital artist Max Asabin show that he definitely pushes the envelope when it comes to the digital darkroom.

And just in case you’re watching this “tutorial” with the volume turned down and you are seriously lacking in common sense, what you see below is meant to be humor.

British landscape pro Chris Sale recently broke a promise he made to himself by agreeing to edit another photographer’s Raw image. And even though Sale knows his way around Lightroom, let’s just say the project didn’t go according to plan.
