In this episode we are going to look at vertoramas (they are the same as panoramas but vertical rather than horizontal):
1. I will explain to you why you need to shoot this way when shooting tall buildings.
2. We will retouch them first in Lightroom with my classic workflow.
3. Sync that retouch on all photos and send them over to 'merge to panorama' option in Photoshop.
4. We are going to correct all our geometric distortions from the merging.
5. Finally, we will double process the result for our final touches. Voila!
Grazie Serge, another great opportunity for teaching your creativity... Ciao
Serge!! I love hearing about your A7R and seeing the incredible NO NOISE in your photos. Unbelievable. Thanks for all of your hard work on these videos, I look forward to them every week. My favorites so far have been on Architecture, Hotels, and Pricing. More on all of those please! Also, I'm interested in shooting muscle cars and motorcycles. You should do a tutorial on shooting a car at sunset using a polarizing filter turned in different directions and multiple exposures to get rid of all the reflections.
Gotta say, I am envious of your home town. I'm in a town in Kansas that doesn't have many old buildings anymore, not a lot of anything tall, all the new construction is squat beige brick boxes and cookie cutter homes, and there are electric lines *everywhere* because for some reason nobody wants to go to the effort to bury them (you'd think in a place that can get some nasty, line killing ice storms in the winter and thunderstorms in summer, it would be a no-brainer thing to do to prevent power outages). I guess it challenges my creativity to get a good shot, but it sure does wear you down to find ways to make an ugly cityscape look good - I'd like to make a good cityscape look better for a change! ... I can't afford to move to Paris, San Francisco, or New York, so I guess I'll keep at it here and keep admiring the photos you take there. :D
Use your skill to show the ugliness of your city. Its harder and more challenging. That way you might wake up some people in power and get things changed.
WEll, at least you can go out and use your camera. Here in Brazil, if I go out with my camera in most places, someone will put a gun at my head and steal it! haha
Stephan Eilert Why not buy a gun with next 'Lens' budget instead. lol Happy shooting eh ;-)
Bethany, I understand where you're coming from. Short of traveling someplace interesting, do more detail/close up/ photography or candid shots with your friends. Get a different lens like the LensBaby Composer. You will notice that most of what Serge shoots/edits is full field focus cityscapes. Understand however, there is a lot of creativity in short depth images. Open wide. The beauty is in the blur.
Merci Serge, encore un tuto plus qu'utile!
Je serais ravie de voir TON opinion et tes techniques pour nettoyer un capteur.
Quels outils, comment faire, etc... Je n'ai pas encore trouvé mon bonheur sur internet ;)
A bientôt, encore merci!
You have an unparalleled style of presentation !
Congrats Sergi, your tutorials are amazing! I enjoy everything.
Great shot + great PS/Lr-tutorial + great effort of showing everything = new subscriber !
The tutorials are brilliant. Perhaps a project you may consider Serge is shooting in snow and, as we're seriously thinking about heading off to the Northern Lights early next year, some info on shooting that. Thanks in advance.
Definitely one of the best tutorail I've seen, thank you!!!
Very very great work I learned a lot of lessons from your tutorials
Thanks very much
super épisode, comme d'habitude.
Hey Serge,
Great video as usual, how about for the next tutorial you talk us through the Brenizer method?
J
Thanks one more time for teaching us new things..
Cool tricks Serge. Love the tutorial. Many thanks for sharing with us. :)
awsome as usual, congratulations for the great video!
Your videos and courses are great. I need help with retouching photos of friends and family and events.
Serge, as always, another great tutorial!
How about one on final preparation, for print.
Ansel Adams made the point that everything is in service of the print.
It makes sense to have a tutorial on this because without that knowledge. all the rest
of the work done is for nothing if you don't know the best way to do it (like me).
Very good tutorial, thx👍
Thankful for teaching , i think u made me better in LR and CS6 :) U said many episodes back, that u dont do macro anymore. But is there still material to make tutorial ? ...or what u think about "magic lantern" ? a7r has sort of same focus area showing stuff . Some ideas i could come up with :)
Hi Serge, I have a question, whats the purpose to duplicate the layer you are working on it in photoshop because I can se you dont use that duplicated layer? im an amateur in PS sorry. Regards from México.
Awesome free tutorials. An idea on tutorial might be how you print and frame your work. What pixel size is needed for whet print and such. Just the showing of ones work
Thanks again for those tutorials. How about some levitation photos of people with some action and motion blur?
Serge,
Do you have any plans to do a tutorial on "Forest Glow". Since, its going to be Fall pretty soon, would like to see your take on glow, fog, mist and the ethereal look deep inside the forest. As always, your videos are great, love your energy and always learn some cool tricks even if it is a simple one. Thanks again.
You are a very skilled man, love your vids!! :)
Thanks Again Serge! You are terrific! How about some classes if possible on Macro Photography please...
You should do a video on how to get a glow in a forest or whatever for the fall.
Excellent tutorial. Thank you!
Serge, I've got a technical issue, the option "Merge to the panorama in photoshop" is just missing in my lightroom. I've got Lightroom 5 and photoshop CC on MAC. I've googled it but I failed. Can you help? Thx :)
Hi, Serge!
So there was a hot-air ballon show in my city this weekend. I had a tough time shooting the balloons. It was @5am (very dark, they look like Chinese lanterns).
I pretty much dropped my f-stop, balloons moved so I had my camera on a tripod for lower shutter speed (2sec- 1/50sec), so lastly, all I had to play with was my ISO which was a little too high for my taste.
Images had a lot of noise or were under exposed. What would you have done different?
Thanks, Serge! Can you please make a tutorial about bokehrama portrait technique? It could be awesome.
Sorry bloggers I meant mirrored cameras.
Nice tutorial like every time. +1 for you! I like!
Hi Serge,
at first let me thank you for your great tutorials. They are always so interesting.
Now I got a Little question: Did you made also a tutorial about noise correction?
In this video here, you talked about a formula betweeen noise correction and sharpening (...15%+85%=100%)
Why didn´t you made a Color-noise correction?
In a Video not Long ago You made also a "100%"-summary but with luminance- and color-noise. (60% luminance 40% color-noise)
A Video about that chapter would be very interesting.
Greetings
Ralf
Hey Serge, will you be at Photokina in Cologne this year?
Great stuff Serge as usual. Sadly some of us do not have photoshop CC. Any chance of doning something using Lightroom and Photoshop Elements to give us the benefit of your advice. Particularly with regard to image distortion as I have found this to be not too easy to sort out on muttiple image panos on churches and as you say taller buildings. Cheers :-)
Cool stuff thanks!
Please stop going on about how good this camera is, not all of us can afford these top end cameras.
He works hard, gives you FREE advice, FREE tutorials, and even FREE images and you get upset because of a camera he uses? He got the camera on his own so why shouldn't he go on about it? If he makes a paid channel, charges for tutorials and charges for his images, and YOU actually PAY for something, maybe, then MAYBE you have an ounce of a reason to complain. Until then it wouldn't hurt to be quiet and thankful for what you receive for FREE.
honestly. what's wrong with people?
Hey! If you have issues stop watching. Simple as that.
lol he owns it so he can make a whole video on how sweet it is if he wants. You are the one who is jealous and upset about it. He isn't even bragging just telling everyone how good it is in case they are looking for a great camera.
It was Nice that he told us how to take the shot using different camera. I found it informative. He says the Sony does a good job, however if you dont have it, you have to aim for proper exposure that suits your camera, not that you HAVE to buy an expansive camera.
Sound is not up to your regular quality?
Hi,
Do you know off another tool or workflow to replace the adaptive wide angle filter? ... For the ppl. That don't have cs6 ext or higher. Or, like me, for ppl that cannot use it because the graphic card isn't working for PS.
I tried DxO Viewpoint 2, but it did not work that good. Sure it corrected stuff but also made problems in other areas.
This of cause might be do to the source material I tried with or my skills (just downloaded the trail version yesterday).
Still I would be very interested to learn what you recommendation is for ppl that can't use the adaptive wide angle filter. (For correction of verticals, panorama shot at an angle or even multi row panorama (shot without nodal point head))
Thanks
Hi Serge, You always recommend to underexpose. This is different what I have been told before. Isn't it easier to darken an image in post processing as this will reduce noise in the darker parts of the image?
I suppose he underexpose to get the details in the sky without bracketing and a tripod
With the Sony A7r he used, much like the Canon 5D and other 'full-frame' sensor cameras, a remarkable amount of detail can be pulled out of the shadows. Conversely, you cannot pull recover much out of blown highlights. The downside of underexposure is visible noise, more of a problem on cameras with smaller sensors. But again, you have A LOT of latitude with the shadows. He does typically bracket his photos. But with a handheld shot, it's a longer workflow, requiring alignment of layers in photoshop, masking, etc. Serge does have many tut's on that workflow. I typically bracket everything, handheld or tripod. With a big memory card, even shooting RAW, you can take a lot of pics. If you're bracketing a timelapse sequence, well... you might run out.
Even with cheaper DSLRs it is still better to underexpose a little if there are bright lights. You can't get back a blown out sky. If you shoot on ISO 100 or 200, you will be abled to brighten the dark spots up a lot, before there is to much noise. Shoot RAW and disable the cameras internal noise reduction, lightroom will probably have a better correction than your DSLR and since it's RAW you will have a lot to work with. You might also try multiple exposures and see which gets the best results, or merge them if you used a tripod.
Nice tutorial like always!
We also know the Sony 7R is the most awesome camera ever make but please get over it! Is start to get boring and annoying
Thanks
Amazing!
I cant afford the A7r but Im happy he can, & that he shares tips with us. If you cant afford it save up, dont complain. You can take great photos with any dslr & some point & shoots too. Use what you got & get better. Now go back to your pirated version of LR & practice :)
what I can see on the free tutorials is that spend a lot of time waffling and is not much of a work flow jumping back and forth have a look at Blue Lighting Tv. Regards. Ed
best of the best
Hi Serge, may i recommend you, as a Theme for a tutorial namely "Digital blending with luminosity masks". It would be very interesting and exciting.
With best regards
when I do panoramas I always get lines in between the photos when I merge them.. Is there a way to avoid that or get rid of it?
Did you do lens correction in lightroom? If you did, have you set your current lens in the profile settings? You might also check vignette removal in the Photoshop panorama module. If all doesn't help, it might be your photos, that just don't match. Have you taken them on manual mode with the same settings? Did you use a tripod, or handheld it as steady as possible? Is your Photo sharp enough, does it have features that allow alligning? Do the pictures overlap enough (around a third) ?
lights_on
I use a tripod, manual mode, i shoot with a lot of over lap.. the only thing that really doesn't work is anything really far away and skys or water. the water I get why you'd have lines but not on clear skys. I've done panoramas so they work but only on stuff that is pretty close
I guess photoshop doesn't get enough details in the sky to merge it properly and many zoom lenses show heavy vignetting with higher focal lenghts which may result into lines.
One more question: Do you edit the photos in lightroom before merging?
lights_on i do edit in light room before I merge the pics in photoshop ..
Maybe part of it is that I'm using old pentax film lenses or could it maybe that the edge of my sensor has distortion and I need to crop the sides first? anyways I think I'm going to try that
It might be good if you just do basic editing (lens profile correction) try not to change anything else. Then import into photoshop, merge and edit in lightroom afterwards. If this doesn't help, maybe you can remove the lines with photoshop or lightroom, especially if they are in the sky, where there aren't as many details.
The lens is possibly not supportet by adobe profile correction. Cropping might help, but there might still be distortion.
you should have left it in photoshop because everything you did in lightroom afterwards ruined the image
I would be much more inclined to purchase you products if they were available on CD or DVDs. The reason is because when my hard drive gives up the ghost if I have your episodes on CDs, then I have not lost them. Please, Sil vous Plait!
Could you do one on how to take a good moon shot?
This was shot in Paris, yet bus stop makings on the road are in English.
How to Shoot, Merge and Edit Vertoramas with panorama together
also can you do Real HDR with other softwares and not Lightroom
places do some wedding photo editor
Hi Serge...I believe you are using a new microphone or not? Your sound is not so good as before. It's a bit too low.
Editing Portraits in lightroom plz :)
Bonjour. Malgré les éloges un peu rébarbatives concernant le 7R, je suis d'accord sur le point du 5D II. Je ne connaît pas la valeur du MIII, mais je sais que je me suis fait avoir avec le MII. Canon s'est bien moqué du monde avec ce dernier. Comme vous dites, impossible de se faire vraiment plaisir sans être obligé de surveiller l'expo pour minimiser les sous-ex'. Certes, le MII est un peu dépassé maintenant, mais à l'époque, Canon s'est foutu du monde sur la prétendue qualité des images en basse lumière ou ISO élevés...J'en ai un, je loue encore aujourd'hui la qualité du capteur, mais pas pour le bruit. Rien que ça, je regrette d'avoir dépensé plus de 2 000 € à l'époque...
I'm in agreement great tutorial but non mirrorless cameras are still great just like film is still great and they're not going anywhere. Sony just created a new toy for people to play with for awhile. This camera is cool but it just another type of PlayStation. There will be a new model next season just wait for it.
