***** No i'll intent meant, you offer great tips and theory in all your videos and it is very much appreciated. It's just this great 5 minute tip is contained inside an almost 17 minute long video. A little brevity would be welcome, for me at least.
I am very glad I came across this. I've been doing photography for years but have only been using an iPhone. After similar feedback, I decided to upgrade to a DSLR (EOS 5D Mark IV) which is very new territory for me. I have the eye for it but everything you're discussing are things I'm trying to learn. Especially before my move to Sweden in March. I view this as an investment rather than an expense
Jeremy Permenter One does not simply upgrade from an iPhone to a $3500 Canon 5d Mark IV. That's an insane transition. Good luck. A tip: If you can afford that body, all I can say is buy quality glass. Look into canons L glass range. With a body that expensive don't buy cheap glass. Invest in quality glass. Cheers and have fun shooting!
GTAX Crew Shenanigans yeah, I know it's a crazy transition but I have my reasons. I'm getting the $4600 kit that comes with the 24-105 mm lens and take it from there.
Same, I have been doing photography for 2 years with my LG G3. Tomorrow Im going to buy a Nikon D5000. And welcome to Sweden! Do you mind if I ask what city you are moving to?
Astro-photographers have been doing this technique for quite a while. Usually using 20+ images. Works pretty darn well. Also good to mimic a long exposure/ND filter for stuff such as waterfalls.
I have been inspired by Serge Ramelli for the last five years now and I have learned photography skills and editing from his great tutorial videos. I was very lucky having had the chance to meet Serge Ramelli in Dubai in early January 2020. Hope to meet him again in the Future :).Bonjour Madame et Monsieur :)
oh boy, you just confirmed a theory I had about stacking for noise reduction. My theory was, if it works for astrophotography. why wouldn't it work for this? Thanks, and keep up with the tutorials...
Awesome Serge, love your podcasts please keep it going!! I love shooting at night and get tired of carrying a heavy tripod around. In Manhattan you cant use a tripod unless you have a special permit ectectect. So this is a great alternative.
Holy crap this was a great video man! :) I'm a fan of you. The Landscape Masterclass part looked extremely interesting. Cheers from a photographer from Finland! :)
I have a Sony compact camera that has a low light mode where it takes several shots and integrates them together - it works very well. This looks to be very similar. Great idea.
You are the best photography teacher in the web ! thanks a lot for all your powerful free tutorials ! you teach a lot of great secrets for free :) I've just purchased your new course too Its amazing ! :)
thanks for the tutorial. I'm wondering if you can achieve similar results using g HDR mode? pretty much the same concept in averaging pixel values to remove noise and you can adjust the dynamic range steps to be smaller if you want to blend similar exposures.
Astronomers have learned this same technique to correct atmospheric disturbance in star photography. I think planetary probes also use this to get photos at a much higher quality than the spacecraft cameras should be capable of. Thanks for this!
I know this trick and yes, in some ways better not to use tripod, it has its own advantages. Also, with night shots, so easy to get blown highlights and this is also a way to deal with that - underexpose somewhat, correct exposure, have multiple shots to lower noise - a practical and creative way to get something that looks pretty good.
Brilliant! I love night time photography for the wonderful atmosphere and the lush colors, but noise is a perennial problem. This is a wonderful help! Cheers, mate! John
Yep Jimmy McIntyre did a video of this. You can also use blend if to target where the noise reduction gets applied. Check out the awesome videos by Blake Rudis. Still, thank you Serge for sharing this. That Venice shot was awesome.
This (stacking) is basic for astrophotographers (and moon). We shoot dozens or hundreds of images and stack them, usually with PIPP, AutoStackert and Registax (all free). Total exposure time sometimes can be many hours for DSO's (Deep Sky Objects (star clusters, nebulae, galaxies).
Hi Serge. You are really getting me interested in being more serious about photography. I've just bought your Lightroom CC training course and once I've mastered that I'll be moving onto more of you courses. Can I ask you a quick question please? I currently have a Canon EOS 1200D, but I'm hoping to upgrade to a Sony A7r2. I use a sigma 18-35mm f1.8 dc hsm art lens, which I use with my 1200D. Unfortunately the 1200D is not a full frame camera like the Sony, do you know if my Sigma lens will work with the Sony? Its a fantastic lens, not to mention quite expensive, and I'd hate to see it go to waste. Thanks for your time Serge.
Hi, I just bought my first camera. I was really taken in by your landscape master class and I want to buy or subscribe to to it to learn more. However, I am a beginner so I need to walk before I can fly. Do you have any recommendations on a beginners course? I need to learn the ins and outs of my camera and what everything means. I have a GH5, what lens would you recommend for getting the kind of pictures that you were demonstrating in this video and that you quickly showed in your landscape masterclass? what lens would be good for general travel pictures? Finally, how much would I need to know about photoshop and lightroom before taking that masterclass? Thank you
Thank you for your tutorial, Serge. Is it possible to merge one of these stacked images into an HDR? When automate HDR asks to open files, I only see one. Is there a way to again seperate the layers so I can do an HDR AND an Auto-alignment? Can you have the best of both worlds?
Serge, great technique, thank you for sharing. Ihave a question for you, I see that when you open the files as layers in photoshop, the file becomes up to 1.2 gigas in size. What do you do in order to keep file sizes small? do you just print or export to a jpg and erase the TIFF file? thank you
Hi Serge, i noticed that you reduce the noise in one of the 5 pictures in Lightroom before to merge them in Photoshop. Should we have to do the same? Or can we merge all picture in Photoshop and "then" use Lightroom to reduce the noise? Thanks
Thank you, Serge, but at 3:30 this particular zoom lens (FE 16-35mm f4 ZA OSS) is f4 all the way, so the highest aperture is 4 and not 5.6. Anyway, thank you for the video and the tips, they are always great.
Nice trick for all Canon and Nikon fans - for users of Sony-Cams f.e. from the 77, 99 and 7 series this is done in the camera in so called "Mult-RM" mode - and is works as well as described here ... ;)
That's a nice trick. Thank you for sharing. The lense you are using is 15-35F4 so you could go down to 4 instead of 5.6, but I guess you wanted a sharper image.
Super ! je cherche cette méthode depuis un moment , et je viens de la decouvrir pour les astrophoto ! excellent de savoir que ca marche aussi ailleurs ! merciiii !!!
Hi Serge, Really Love ur videos and planning to purchase your course for Landscaping, but my question is for the HDR part can I use photomatix or do I need to use the same program ? Thank you in Advance.
OK have a question. 3min53 you are on about a photo taken at f5.6 cos that was the lowest you could go but in the EXIF data at the top it shows a 16-35mm f4 lens @ 35mm or am I missing something
Cool tip thanks! Now, again I'm not selling anything, you'd get a clean picture SOOTC shooting at 3200 iso with a Fuji camera instead 😉 Thanks for sharing and good luck with your master class!
That's a pretty well known techniques in computational photography. What you do here by hand is what every Google Pixel phone does when you shoot with the HDR+ enabled: burst of (maybe under exposed) photos and then combine them. Everything requires less then 2s thanks to the dedicated HW image processor... I'm just wondering why big camera manufacturers do not support these techniques in their firmware. :-/ However, nice video and thanks for sharing.
Layers -> Convert to Smart Object. Then Layers -> Smart Objects -> Stack Mode -> Medium. Got it thanks!
You left out auto-aligning the layers before converting to SO, unless there's there a way to do that inside a SO.
"Median" and not medium.

Thank you. Love Serge's videos but they are loaded with fluff content.
sorry serge, just remembering how it used to be 4 years ago ;) merci mon ami

I agree Serge... the long blobs of light do capture your eyes. The final shot looks magnificent. Very awesome work ...

Yung Dakki I will be moving to Gothenburg. I am definitely looking forward to it
Interesting trick Serge. I'll practice it, thank you!

7:38 et voilà, we got a noiseless photo. Thanks for the cool trick. :)
Awesome Serge, love your podcasts please keep it going!! I love shooting at night and get tired of carrying a heavy tripod around.
In Manhattan you cant use a tripod unless you have a special permit ectectect. So this is a great alternative.
This is brilliant. I haven't seen anyone else come up with this technique. Thank you!
love that you offer the raw files. Thank you!
Brilliant. This is the same technique I use for star stacking astro shots and that's a great idea to use for this other use case!
The Best! Thanks Serge!
LOVE the new set
Holy crap this was a great video man! :) I'm a fan of you. The Landscape Masterclass part looked extremely interesting. Cheers from a photographer from Finland! :)
Thanks Serge ! great trick, I'll try it for sure.
Holy mackerel - you have a *lot* to offer, Serge. Astonishing.
I hate carrying a tripod on my trips, so I've been doing handheld shots with obvious amounts of noise. This trick is freaking awesome!
I have a Sony compact camera that has a low light mode where it takes several shots and integrates them together - it works very well. This looks to be very similar. Great idea.
Thanks Serge. I tried one to make. And it works!
SERGE, THATS REALY AMAZING!!!!!!!!
Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot, Mr. Ramelli. I can't wait to try this.
you are sooo good it bad, I think am gonna use half my vacation studying your work
awesome Serge !!!
Thank you very much for this tricky helpful editoring!
Thanks Serge!

you rocks!
Nicely done!
Awesome thanks!
Wow, I did not know this trick before - Thanks as always, Serge!!
Okay awesome! ;-) thanks a lot
Brilliant!
Thanks! Great video!!
wow, just thanks!. I'm an amatheur photographer with an EOS 1200d and this trick is awesome, it will be so helpfully in my nightscapes.

Thank you for telling about Blake Rudis. I just saw some of his vids.. His vids are really informative :)

That was really good
Wow that's awesome dude 😄
that's a great thing to know. Thank you
great technique, thanks!
That's a very clever technique thanks!
Sensational hint!
Like the training. Will watch for sales.
Hi Serge
Thanks for the great video!!
What is the difference when just taking a shot with a longer shutter speed?
Tripod?
awesome!
why is a 4 min video 16 mins long???
Because he's french ;) they talk way too much and they like wasting other people time
Seriously. Rambling videos like this are awful. Just get to the fucking point.
okay, i have to say, thiw video is amazing! thank you very much!
merci pour l'astuce, je vais tester ça!
Serge, great technique, thank you for sharing. Ihave a question for you, I see that when you open the files as layers in photoshop, the file becomes up to 1.2 gigas in size. What do you do in order to keep file sizes small? do you just print or export to a jpg and erase the TIFF file? thank you
tres magnifique!

Great Tut Serge.
soo beautiful photograhs :) I really really love Your Style :) .. and I love magenta too :)
I am happy to watch your videos tutorial and tips/tricks in youtube. I wish to get more learning from you, Sir ... Thanks for all your nice videos...

Great tips here. Thank you :-)
Thank you my teacher
great stuff. cant wait for night to try this out. +1 sub
good one
hi
im used canon 80d dslr camera
how to shoot night photography ?
i have used 18-135 lens.
which light room soft ware you have used ?
Hi serge I was wondering for the landscape master class course. How long will it be on discount
Yes, Serge, it works. Makes for a large file size, it seems.
Nice trick for all Canon and Nikon fans - for users of Sony-Cams f.e. from the 77, 99 and 7 series this is done in the camera in so called "Mult-RM" mode - and is works as well as described here ... ;)

Awesome technique Serge! Do you know, is there an equivalent that can be done with Luminar?
What do you think about the Lightroom HDR merge? I was wondering if it's better to us grad ND filters vs hdr
Super ! je cherche cette méthode depuis un moment , et je viens de la decouvrir pour les astrophoto ! excellent de savoir que ca marche aussi ailleurs ! merciiii !!!

However, nice video and thanks for sharing.
I love this trick. Can you do this using Adobe Photoshop Elements 14?
Great job FPS France
Jimmy McIntyre explained this a while ago. Nice trick. BTW, the FE 16-35 f4 aperture is constant.
