Blind Photo Critiques with Scott Kelby | The Grid Ep 697

It’s another Blind Photo Critiques episode of The Grid, with Scott Kelby working through a wide variety of viewer-submitted images, including creative portraits, travel photography, automotive details, street scenes, wildlife, macro, underwater, and astrophotography. He demonstrates practical editing techniques in Lightroom, Camera Raw, and Photoshop, including People masking, simulated long exposures, Generative Expand, and a few experiments with Generative Fill that don’t quite go as planned. He also shares updates on upcoming workshops, his new iPhone photography book, and next year’s travel photography workshop plans, while Erik Kuna joins the conversation from the live chat.
