Great video thank you. The final sunset was wonderful!

[@sclogse1]

Morning from foggy San Francisco...this kind of work is all about detail and light. The light on the foreground rocks makes this shot for me. Looking forward to rewatching on my desktop...

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 👍👍

I've seen this done before, but my gut feel is by a really light tripod and just use it in the filter. I don't want to be spending time stacking images in an editing program trying to get it. Perfect I just don't understand why people make something harder than it needs to be a simple travel tripod Mitch Sara mini really good light tripods now tripods don't need to be heavy. I do Long Exposure is on a very light tripod that weighs less than a kilo. Because it has spikes in. It goes into the ground and it does not move but is very light to carry, and then I have a simple ND filter.... I just don't feel we need to do this technique when there's easier ways of doing it. Get the novelty and challenge factor of doing it like this by all means, but I don't think it's particularly a great way to shoot a Long Exposure having to stack all those images and spend a lot of time over the computer and unless you've got a fast computer it's going to take awhile. I don't normally so much negative stuff about your channel and I'm not saying anything negative about you or whatever, but I don't feel this is a great way to do a Longer exposures- jetties personally just might take. Love your videos

The tripod is not the important variable. The merit of taking 15 properly exposed shots and layering them in PS is that you have more choices for focus detail and smoothing than you have with only one long exposure using a neutral density filter.

[@nevvanclarke9225]

@@NotSoFast100 and will take you an half an hour for one pic Sorry I'm a very very experienced landscape photographer and selling prints too Single images using hyper focus method is way smarter and effective use if time. And no loss of image quality Modern cameras at f8 f9 are excellent And i use quality filters that have no distortion or colour cast (Nisi) Sorry we shall politely agree to disagree on this one Oh I teach photography too and I would not teach this method as the margin for error is high.. Just my opinion though

[@dougheizenrader2280]

Fantastic technique Ian!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 👍

Amazing sunset photo

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 👍

Love your joy about the last photograph. Beautiful!

I absolutely love your videos Ian. Cheers from across the big pond.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much

[@kzr83]

Great video, Ian. GLORIOUS final shot! 👏🏻

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 🙏🙏👍

[@pentax-paul.]

Thanks for sharing this. It's a good skill to have in the back pocket 👍

[@ian_worth]

it sure is 👍

[@dan.allen.digital]

That same technique works to reduce noise in the shadows allowing you to expose to protect the highlights and recover detail in the shadows without doing a traditional HDR bracket. Nice video Ian

[@allenhendricks8892]

Love the teaching

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 👍

[@randyschwager2515]

Excellent video! I have to try this! Thanks for taking me along!

[@C4ManMike]

Love ur stuff mate

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy

[@seanpowless]

What a breathtaking photo, great work. Thanks for the amazing content.

[@garyquintrell4878]

Great tips thankyou

[@opalyankaBG]

Nice idea. I think I've used basically the same technique (take multiple photos and stack them) to get rid of noise.

[@ian_worth]

That's awesome 👍

[@davidselby8115]

Great vid! How do you overcome movement by the birds on the rock?

[@KODOPhoto]

Great tip! Thanks, Ian!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for watching, Kevin, much appreciated 👍👍

[@debadri]

Another great video!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks so much 👍👍

[@larbueno]

Simply great information and your passionate love of it all makes for a truly beautiful video. Your shots are stunning. I stumbled upon your channel via the 100 ISO video. Subbing NOW!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy, much appreciated 👍

[@paullavin5449]

Thank you for the tips and the entertaining video. I know that you would not mention it but it must be a source of great frustration to you that less than 1/4 of people watching, find time to hit the thumbs up button!! Come on people reward the effort.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks for the support Paul, much appreciated 👍👍

[@MariNate1016]

Cool to see another X-H2 user here! Love my little workhorse

[@pauledwards499]

Great idea, works well and it's also great for waterfalls. That rock looks like a teddy bear's face!

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Paul, yes ive tested it on waterfalls too and it works well as long as there's no moving trees/leaves etc...

[@therealbonj]

Is the final sunset shot HDR and if so how many stops difference is it, and did you do it using the camera’s HDR mode or in Lightroom? If not HDR what point did you set exposure on?

[@ian_worth]

No hdr, just one shot. The light was nicely diffused allowing me to retain highlight and shadow detail from one raw file

[@Eugene-Braack]

Interesting... going to try this out. Goodbye filters....? Nice shot, at the end.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks buddy 👍👍

Hi Ian, I would have wanted to see the effect of applying Stack Mode Mean to the ever moving birds on the stack. I could imagine Stack Mode Median would have done a better job with the birds. It would probably also have smoothened the sea stack less than Mean - which one could like or not like. Probably you could have created a Mean and a Median TIFF, layer them again and paint in what suits best area by area. Stack Mode Median is also a great tool if you get lot of noise from high ISO at very low light conditions. Because rarely bright noise pixels are at the exact same position between one shot and the other, Median will completely remove the bright noise pixels while Mean will blend them in to some extend, lowering the contrast of the resulting image.

[@jerryrichards8172]

Dose photoshop come inside lightroom?

[@philipknapp6945]

I couldn’t help but notice how the large rock in the center of your composition showed strong resemblance to Chewbacca :-) seriously great video awesome information. Thanks.

[@JHurrenPhotography]

lol

[@ian_worth]

Nice one buddy 🤣👍

[@EricBier]

With multiple exposures the amount of blur can be adjusted in fine detail by including/excluding shots. This works better than using filters to extend the exposure since you end up with only one level of blur with the filtered shot. Thank you for this excellent video!

[@Fessoid]

Processing of 1 image is superfast and without PS. Multiple images requeres: more disk space, more time to process, more time to pick 'right' images from the set of.

[@mikebartow9415]

You can use this burst mode for hand held bracketing too.

[@ian_worth]

Thanks Mike 👍👍👍

[@johnbrinkman3998]

Great tip, when you set the custom white balance did you guess or did you use a card or something?

[@lphilpot01]

Love that sunset! What a beautiful shot of a beautiful location. Great video and I want to try to adapt the stacking technique to Affinity Photo if I can.

[@ian_worth]

Awesome, let me know how you get on 👍

[@lphilpot01]

@@ian_worth actually I don't think I need to test as much as I initially suspected. The image stack function in AP includes alignment and stacking operators (mean, median, etc.). So it's just a matter of (shooting the images as usual then) creating a new image stack, enabling rotation / alignment and setting the operator to mean AFAICT. At least that worked for me on some test images I already had laying around.

[@Ed.Focuss]

Nice on Ian

[@ian_worth]

Thank you 👍👍

[@1q21q21q21]

Thanks for opening my eyes to how photos can be layered! If all I have for digital post-processing is an iPad (M1 chip), will mobile versions of Photoshop and LightRoom do the same?

[@AlainLafleche1]

great video !! i will have a look on my x-t4 if i can set 5 frames per seconds :-)

[@ian_worth]

It doesn't matter if you shoot at a higher fps, you can just select the images you want in lightroom, and bin the rest, always better to have more photos to choose from👍

[@AlainLafleche1]

@@ian_worth thanks Ian 🙂

[@richardhooton-zt6qh]

I really ,liked this idea so tried to complete it myself. I got stuck when I tried to "edit as layers in photoshop" The option to open in photoshop remained grey so I couldn't select it. Anyone of you hel[ful people got any ideas what I need to do? Thanks.
