I explore how to use contrast tools to add depth to your wildlife photos and make feel more 3dimensional. This achieves a more realistic look. You will be surprised at the tools which control contrast in your photos. But by understanding how these tools do what they do, you can use them to your advantage. The photos I edit in this video are edited in Lightroom, but the tips apply to other photo editing software too.
