Long gone are the days when you looked at black and white photos in creaky photo albums or boxes of discolored Polaroids in order to remember the recorded moments. Today pretty much anyone can edit the photos they have taken as works of art - with Lightroom, Photoshop, Affinity Photo, Aurora HDR, Luminar, Photolemur and dozens of other programs. If you want to professionalize the photo editing as well as the planning of the pictures, for example to take your vacation photos to a new level, I have a video and DVD tip for you: tutorials and the DVD “Artworks from vacation photos 5” by Pavel Kaplun .

Conclusion
I came across Pavel Kaplun's videos and DVDs while looking for a Lightroom tutorial for landscape photography. I was immediately amazed by his funny but knowledgeable way of explaining. Above all, with the DVDs designed for special photos and techniques - like works of art from the holiday photos 5 - you learn how to plan photos better before they are taken and, above all, how to creatively edit them.
Personally, I am busy taking photos, but then there is usually a lack of post-processing and I only use Photolemur for image enhancement. However, you can get a lot more out of the photos if you use Lightroom CC. And how it works, Pavel explains on the DVD using practical examples from his photo trips. A really recommendable concept if you want to take your own "travel photography" to a new level;)
