Just started using Lightroom and wondered if anyone could offer some tips / wisdom on how to make the most of it.
I've been trying to make a preset that can achieve the look in pic related but I don't really know where to begin.

Can anyone give me a hand?
Thanks in advance

You will never make a preset like that. It's shot on film.

It's not senpai, it's shot on a Canon 5DS.

I just wanted to know more about editing, not shooting.

if you were lazy, somewhat desat everything but blue / orange and reduce luminance in blue, but that will look like shit.

most of what makes this picture is the time of day, available light and location.

why is there always a thread like this when I come to this board

the crushed blacks meme has been around for years and people still haven't learnt how to use tone curves in lightroom

just pirate some vsco presets if you're that desperate for this bland overused aesthetic

basically:

never touch the clarity slider unless at the most -5 in some areas with a brush to draw attention away for whatever reason. +clarity, not even once. get rid of it, it is the retard slider. be super careful with shit like saturation. possible learn some color curves, learn about VSCO and how to start on that look. never use presets unless you have literally no time. if repairing shadows, make sure to compensate with some darks (the dark slider in the curves section) or learn to use curves, never bring a load of detail into the shadows because it looks shit and will delude you. same with highlights, better to have blown out highlights than disgusting greys and a flat image. coloring is the most difficult part and takes years to learn properly, just start out careful with it. don't touch luminance sliders at first because you will always think +luminance looks good but if you were to slide it up then rotate the image 90 for times stand up and slap yourself sit back down and you wil realize it looks shit. they are some tips, nothing really to do with that image.

Clarity looks like shit, basically. It just adds super gross halos to everything and is never a proper substitute for real, well-done sharpening.

Clarity is the casual filter in post processing.

I don't think the look of the picture has anything to do with lightroom. Take a plane to Bodo (flights from Oslo and also Stockholm as of last year), take a ferry to Moskenes, drive or hike to Reine, wait until the sun sets. If you go in deep winter, no waiting necessary since it doesn't rise at all.

Learning post generally involves more than a "filter" is his objection.
I'd argue that learning to photograph involves more than learning post though.

I'm not disparaging the importance of it, I'm recognizing the distance between two acts.
My jpeg shooting process involves post. It's simply done in camera. I'm sure your photos are much better than mine. :^)

this photos look is not reared to post processing technique. It is light and hour. If this board spent half as much time considering these things as post and filters, we'd probably have more photo threads.

jfc you're hating for the sake of hating. She didn't even imply that, and she's right—knowing when to take this photograph is more important than knowing how to fuck with split toning for a similar palette, but she already covered that in her response.

To OP, no preset is going to turn a photo that isn't shot during dawn or dusk into that. Consider sitting in the same spot to make the same photo throughout an entire day, and observe how the time of day affects the light, the colours, the subjects, etc..

Also, it helps to be in such a remote and unadulterated landscape.

My tip for you, OP.

Play around with the shit.
Personally i like to use after effects along with Koji Colors(totally bought it), Magic Bullet Film(bought that one too), Magic Bullet Colorista, Curves, Sharpen and Camera Lens Blur.

Fun plugins to fuck around with, especially Koji Color and Magic Bullet Film since they have tons of camera and film stock options so you can tinker with em for a week straight and still find new combos.

Here is the absolute most useful thing I learned after running Lightroom for a few years. Hold Alt and grab the blacks slider. You will now see if any area of the picture is at absolute black. Adjust blacks so just a tiny area is at absolute black. Bam. Instant quality improvement.
