I really love that you show us exactly how you process your images and I love the time you spend showing us where you are shooting, how you choose to frame a shot, and why. Thank you very much for all you do for the photography community.
Serge I want to thank you I have learned more from your videos than any school course has ever taught me I love you passion and enthusiasm it really shows in the videos. Thank you I hope one day my work can be as good as yours.
Folow the light is a good advice, thank you
I like it every time when you say "Voila".
Cool sunglasses! And - as it always is - cool stuff in your video. Thank you, Serge.
Nice job I'm really enjoying this series. I always look forward to your next video, thank you for sharing your passion with us.
Been busy last few weeks, so happy to be catching up on my Serge Videos! So helpful
I really love the way you do this series, it's been a lot of fun to watch. Seeing you experiment with different compositions with the camera recording is extremely helpful to see what you see. Keep up the great work!
Thanks for all the adverts....
Thank you for teaching me so much about the gradient filters. I had no idea they were there.
Thanks a lot Serge !! You are the awesome!!!
Très bien ! Thank you for your work!
Very informative. You have inspired me to go out mid day more often. Thanks.
Just made a bunch of photos in a middle of the day last week in Dolomites, because I wasn't able to reach some spots while the light was ideal. This will give me a good starting point because I never seriously retouched picture into B&W. Thank you. I have to admit I like your videos much more than lets say half a year ago. Maybe my personal photographical growth :D
Awesome!!! Bravo!!!
Very informative. Thank you.
thanks serge ... waiting for it
Fantastic, you have another fan
Very nice workflow.
Great stuff Serge looks beautiful :)
ND filter looks good digitally on computer screens. But if you are shooting for prints, the extra texture looks so much better on paper if done correctly without ND.
awesome. love the videos it has helped me out alot! keep up the good work
Still in Yose-Meaty I see! lol love ya Serge
That's racist jk
'jk' means 'just kidding'.
Bien dit :)
that was awesome!
Really nice!
great picture
Yoh Sa Mee Tee....Love it. :)
Awesome
thanks for this video Serge, the tip with changing the white balance for more blue was huge for me, never would have thought of that one. Do you have a video explaining how to remove the dust spots? Wondering how you got to that detailed look, is it the same as managing the focus with the alt key?
got interesting view from the video too! thx cameraman
Nice lesson.
very good video about your thinking and how you put that into practice . . . definitely worth subscribing :)
Exposure blending can help out loads. I used a variable ND filter (terrible for photos), couldn't use the full 8 stops, so stopped it back to whatever I could, took 20 pics and stacked them in Photoshop, got a cool result then.
Learned lot from you bro love your work . Love from Miami my brother ....
Wow cool water.
Thank you so much for these tutorials. I have learnt a lot from your video tutorials.
My question is, which ND filter (stops) would be ideal to use during sunrise and sunset? Because I feel ND1000 would be very strong taking lot of light and color away. I would very much appreciate an answer for this. Thank you again.
A lot of good steps outlined in the video. Play it at playback speed of .75 to be better able to keep up with the pace.
A great example of saving a picture that is not worth printing due to sharpness...but is likely to do well as a sharing photo online.
Not to mention the value of practising, even with photos that wont make the cut.
Yes absolutely agree :-)
You should try some Lee filters, big stopper + little stopper= 16 stops which is really nice, and you can go to f/8 or f/11
Hi Serge! Thanks for the video. Would using polariser in this scenario help?
cool video my friend.
Another great a video...thanks. Oly OMD, I saw in your hands?
Hi Ramelli,
First of all I Thank you so much for doing all these videos for us and I really have learnt allot form them you are doing really great job I really appreciate your effort and hard work you put in to make such a great stuff for us.
Now I want to ask you for some advise I am a nikon user and I am using Nikon D750 with (24mm, 15-30mm, 50mm most of the time) at this moment and I want to switch to Sony A7r II and you are the reason I want to go to sony as I seen some of your photos shot by Sony are Phenomenal and out of world :) so what do you think about it and if you think its a good move than what sort of lens do i need and which mm is the best for most of Landscape photography ?
Thank you again
thank you
Hi, Serge, a question...what software do you use, for editing the video? and do you have a tutorial for that exactly, part of the video on B&W with high contrast?
Just a thought, using whatever method, I would have taken a many shots to get the water just like I wanted (long exposure), many relatively high speed shots for sharpness (focus bracketing maybe) and a few more for exposure bracketing to get all the details in all the sensitive "zones" maybe even some white balance bracketing. All this to gather as much "light" as possible and combine all this in an exquisite image, maybe using luminosity mask or whatever. In other words, I wouldn't spend thousands of my hard earn money to come back home and find out I forgot the "kids", sort of speak of course. In your own words, you said you wouln't print this one because it's not sharp enough for your taste, so I hope you have one that's OK, otherwise you lost a lot of time and money. A tout ça, j'ajoute que j'ai bien aimé votre présentation, excellent. Merci!
Hi Serge - I am curious to know what model that lightweight tripod is you use for travel. Thanks!
Awesome tutorial like always! Google Nik has been made available free today. Have never used it. Can you make a tutorial on how we can use Google Nik along with LR, please?
Helllo Serge,
Can you please tell us the exact ND filter model you are using on this photo?Thanks
Hi Serge, what camera does your partner use to record you? And what gear do you use 1) as microphone, 2) to show to us in real time what you see in your camera?
Thanks
What type of photographic vest are you wearing and where can I get one like that.
Clean the sensor! :)
👍
only if you're a poseur... real photographers use film!
2018 and you still read the "real photographers use film" crap. Really funny.
Will the presets work with Lightroom 3 or must one have CC?
Hi i cant find the Ansel Adams presets on your website ?
what Filter did Sergei use on the lake?? sorry couldn't understand accent
I had to look it up too: It's actually mentioned below in the comments. It turns out to be an ND filter. Any photographer would know this, but aspiring artists might not be familiar with all type of filters available today. ;)
ND = Neutral Density
Did a bit of black n white over 20 years ago , just got into DSLR , thought it was a neutral density but when unsure wise to ask is it not?
10 Stop Neutral Density Filter
Try Tatras, Poland. :)
Bonjour Serge. Great tutorial. I've done the same kind of "Ansel Adamsification" on mountain shots looking (but failing, naturally) to capture the same kind of thrilling majesty as the master.
I've watched a few of your tutorials and see that you have set up your A7Rii pretty much the same way I have mine, except aperture & shutter speed dials are reversed (I prefer lenses with aperture rings anyway).
One thing I noticed in your tutorials using the A7Rii is that the highlight slider is turned all the way down in LightRoom. I *always* have to do this because the sky is always blown out, even if I under-expose slightly with exposure compensation in Aperture priority, or specifically underexpose in Manual. I originally thought I had a bad copy of the camera but it seems to be an issue generally, maybe the backlit sensor. I don't know if it's the camera or LightRoom that's the issue, or a combination: I don't seem to have as much problem with blown-out skies using Canon DSLRs.
What type of ND filter do you use to allow you a 20 second exposure without it getting too bright? Every time I try to do a long exposure during the day, it always gets too bright
+DeathShotHD Why not just use your exposure compensation on your camera?
+Garland Gay good idea!
BTW, it was an ND 1000 filter
+Evan Hebner thank you
so i do not understand why u did not use the mountains and the trees from the photo without filter, and the water and the clouds from the one with the filter so u can have a sharp clean image?
3:19 There was the composition
how many times do you have to introduce yourself in the video. ??
c'est le paradis là...
Just a tip, FOLLOW THE LIGHT!
Serge, le "i" français se prononce comme un "é (e accent aigu)" en anglais. Ca ferait Yosémétiii. Un autre example, le mot "bit" se prononce "bét" et non pas "biiiit". Si tu prononces "biiit" les Américains pensent que tu parles du mot "beat". De manière générale le "i" anglais se prononce comme "aï (comme dans aïeul) " ou "é (e accent aigu)" selon les mots. Les mot en "ee" se prononcent toujours comme un "i" francais". Mais les mots en "ea" se prononcent comme un "i" français ou comme un "è (e accent grave)" selon les mots. Par example, le mot beat se prononce "biiit" mais le mot bear se prononce "bère", le mot meet se prononce "miiit"...etc. Sinon, ton anglais est absolument fantastique ;-).
☺
What kind of filter? MD? Sorry, can't understand what you said.
it's ND (neutral density) filter
Add facebook sign in to website, will make sign in easier without email verification. can help you out :)
How do I get your Ansel Adam presets ? I'm on your e mail list.....
At 13 minutes the clouds right next to the Mountain look like a demonic face, just me seeing this?!?
Pros, Naver tell u were there metering.
I don’t mind sharing :-)
I think you need a faster PC...Lightroom seem to be running slow.
+WestCoastMods That's LR for you, brilliantly useful tool, painfully slow. Running a 4.5GHz overclocked quadcore with 32GB RAM and SSD's and it's still slower than molasses on a cold day. Adobe really need to sort out LR and recode the entire program. When they enabled GPU support, it hardly made any difference.
+speedmatters Not sure what your full system specs are, but you must be bottleneck somewhere.
I have an i7 4790K, 2X 960GTX GPU's on a EVGA Z97 FTW mobo with 32GB of ram. Using fast SSD's too. Lightroom seems to run fairly smooth on this setup...no lag or crashes like I would get with my older setup.
+WestCoastMods I have almost the same set up only with a single GPU. Good choice. I regularly import 1000+ images into LR 6.5 and find that after the first couple of hundred the entire program slows. Applying filters and making adjustments takes several seconds each time. All 5D3 and 1DX raw files. Very frustrating!
Yosemite with no people???
You have to wait for the right moment
Ansel didnt shoot digital but analog so go for a M6!
If he was around today he would be, why wouldnt he use the best tool avaiable.
bring back caramel!
Sir, did you have a commercial filming permit from the National Park Service for commercial filming in Yosemite National Park? If not you are breaking the law.
A small tutorial for Artists on RUclips is HARDLY commercial filming.
Was I the only one that cringed at about 3:15, when that incredible light popped on the rock face, and he kept talking and didn’t snap the picture?
It bounced off the light
20 seconds? I'm such a noob. 20 seconds at f20? Really? With a tripod of course, right?
Nice tutorial but wipe your lens next time :-)
Pourquoi you mélange the Francais and Anglaish ?
et Always tu Say que You es From Paris. lol We all knew que tu es de la ville de la Brioche man.
Mais t'es un Bon photograph quand même.
Vive la Palestine Libre.
On the trail of Ansel Adams? That'll mean you'd be using a large format field camera.
Pronounced: YO SEM IT TY
LOL at least you did not say: YOSE O MITE! We native Californians really hate that alone with Vallejo pronounced VALLEY JO
Oh, I forgot: I forgive you as I really enjoy the way you explain what you are doing and your creative approach. Keep up the splendid work.
maybe a good idea to speak french or improve your accent !!!!!
I dont like this photo at all, i think it would be better if you cropped it so that the stump was almost in the center of the picture. that big rock of a mountain ruins the framing.
I stopped watch when he said Lightroom! Photography is not Lightroom, if he said post processing would be better. Like down.
@@bogdanlupu3679 It's still old fashion Darkroom, if you studied photography you should know how Ansel got it, contrast, shadows, darker sky etc. We can compare digital post processing to old photoprocessing.
great picture
