Do this if you want to Photograph a Sunset! and How to retouch it in Lightroom Tutorial

[@yaz5365]

Serge, I’ve been shooting for 30 yrs. I started watching you on KZbin since the beginning of your Lightroom tutorial. I came back today, it’s been yrs. Thank you 🙏🏼 for everything and I’m glad you’re still here. You’re the best.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thanks Drew! Really appreciate it and it makes me very happy to have you still tuning in :-)

[@alohaleslie9407]

I'm with you, Serge. Love all those brilliant colors. Tucson and Kona have awesome sunsets as well.

[@bogdandumitrescu8987]

Nice tricks and composition. The last photo is indeed, something special. But comparing with the initial photos, the composition is changed, the angle is different and the clouds are different ! This is the true power of RAW files and great editing techniques ! Thank you, Serge for another awesome video. Now I want to go to so many places :)

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Yes that is what I love about photography is the travel!

[@karinpezo2932]

Wow...what an eye opener.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thanks! Glad you like it!

You are the BEST Serge. I will be in Clearwater in a few weeks and can't wait to shoot around there. Thanks for all your videos!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

You are welcome! Have fun! :-)

[@desertgecko4549]

Thanks, Serge! You make it look so easy! Your videos have helped me so much, not just for the techniques you teach, but for the inspiration. This video had me looking through old underexposed photos to process.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Nice! I am glad! ;-)

[@hollphotography]

Thanks! Can't wait to start using them!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Awesome!

[@prphoto]

Thank you for the new presets. I am sure I will enjoy them.

Really enjoy your Lightroom tutorials and seeing how your coloring your photos. Great stuff! Looks like I need a trip to Clear Water, Florida. Some great sunsets...

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Haha yes! The best sunsets are in Florida :-)

[@scionjan]

Amazing!! I did not know you could use the colors and adjustments so dramatically in Lightroom until I subscribed to your channel, Serge. Super thumbs 👍

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Well it is vital to know that, Im happy I could help

[@kitrudd2336]

That sunset preset is mindblowing. I’m excited to try what you demoed here on some photos I made on the lake behind our house. Finally found a composition without a boring foreground. Would love to travel more for photo ops but will do my best with Virginia sunsets...

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Kit Rudd very cool! Happy you like it!

[@lukeburnley4362]

Thank you for doing this Presets and all you do

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

You are welcome my friend :-)

[@BobG-eh5fc]

You are the best, you take a good photo and make it really pop. Thank you for your wonderful tutorials. If you are looking for topics, one suggestion would be focus stacking in landscapes.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Okay sounds great! Thanks a lot for the kind words!

[@MultiDavidellis]

Brilliant, as always.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thanks so much david !

[@mariuszrogalinski1971]

Hi, amazing photos, thank you for video ! By the way I have one question: why do you prefer aperture 7.1 in seascape photography. Is not a better 11 or even 13 to raise depth of field ?

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Well at 7.1 everything is already pretty sharp of you go above you tend to have some sensor dust which is not nice..

[@rogeraylstock3641]

Fantastic! Thanks!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thank you!

[@nitinranjan4935]

Well done mate !!! You deserve appreciation for your efforts...👍🏼

Love it great tutorial. Unfortunately I can’t install the presets after downloaded. Please show me how to do it right? Thanks

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Sorry about that let me check :-)

So helpful, thank you

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Awesome! ;-)

[@KLopez24]

Is the preset the one that comes in the welcome kit? or is there more? I can't seem to find any other sunset one besides from the welcome kit.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

That’s the one!

[@thomastuorto9929]

Another great vid serge ! Watched your other vid Why LR in 2019 before this 1,= both great vids. I too like my pics post processed a little on the saturated side. Cheers.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Nice! ;-)

[@colleenburke8180]

Hi Serge, thanks again for sharing your knowledge. I was wondering if you could do a video on the best settings for exporting images for print from Photoshop or Lightroom for print. Enjoying your academy classes and everything else you have posted.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Okay nice! Yes that is a good idea!

[@jjmnunes2]

Hello from Portugal. I love your work. I learn a lot. Many thanks for the great vídeos.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Awesome! Thanks to you for your support and feedback:-)

[@Noealz]

sunsets are one of my favorite - though I don't do them as much as I used to though

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

It is fun! :-)

[@samwilson4012]

Thanks for another great tutorial Serge - do you ever use any of the inbuilt White Balance presets eg. Daylight, Cloudy etc.?

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

I usually use presets or do it myself :-)

[@kentaufderheide8454]

Awesome Video!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thank you so much!

[@donspicer2699]

Thanks Serge

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thank you!

[@photo-markus]

Awesome composition and light...and your presets make the magic!...of course the tutorial is also very creative! Are you kidding about quitting magenta???

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Not quitting I would not say that :-)

[@photonsonpixels]

Thank you for your great tutorials Serge. I have two questions for you: 1. What tripod head do you use in these shootings? 2. You always advocate a bit of underexposure. This seems to be in contrast with recommendations to “expose to the right” in order to get cleaner shadows while still protecting the highlights. Will you please expand on your recommendation? Thanks again!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

When you underexpose you have more data in the shadows and in the highlights which could be blown out otherwise

[@photonsonpixels]

Thanks for your comments Serge. Can you kindly let me know what tripod plate you use that allows you to place your camera in a portrait orientation?

[@lupo19047]

Hey Serge! Great video. Are those sunsets like that all year? Or is there a best season to visit?

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Come in now ;-) it is worth it!

[@grmrtnz]

Serge Clearwater is in my neck of the woods. I would have love to shoot with you one of the sunsets! Also, have you publish you article about Tuscany and Val d'Orcia? I'm heading there in October and would accept any location tips you may want to share. Thanks!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Glidden Martinez nice! Well you can’t avoid the amazing Clearwater beach!

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Yes I want to do it, Im a little late but will do it this week end

[@ishootimages7855]

Hi Serge; I enjoy your videos however on this one I’m wondering why you didn’t do a long exposure to really get more colour in the sky as the sun was setting? You could have still taken a lovely under-exposed photo but get that water smooth and more colour in the sky. Just a thought; we all have our own style after all. I love your videos and Lightroom tutorials 😊

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

You are right I could of! :-)

[@ishootimages7855]

I look forward to seeing more of your tutorials and fantastic work :-)

[@Heldan]

Hi, could u edit some night photography on a city? (buildings, lights)

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Yes that is going to be one of my future video

[@MrBluesfly]

When the histogram shows you that a colour is clipped to the highlights isn't that a problem that we have to fix or is a personal preference? Greetings from Greece

[@veronicabrown6944]

Serge, can you tell me why when I adjust the black point, contrast and exposure, my photos always have all the black display as a blue mask. It even happens if I tweak one of your source files, no more than you are doing.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

I am not sure what you mean sorry

[@veronicabrown6944]

@@SergeRamelliPhotography I discovered finally that if i check the soft proofing box, that blue masking stops, but i don't recall that it's ever checked in Serge's demonstrations. I will send you a screenshot if i can figure out how to get it to you or if you can send me an email or text link.

[@MrJoeca69]

I just made a purchase, allow me a question; Lightroom presets serve for CameraRAW? Thank you

[@amajorseven]

Josep Caselles Fontanet Generally you have more options for altering and adjusting images in RAW. You can use presets on JPG as well, only with limited effect.

[@treyfoerster8759]

How come you don't use filters on the camera?

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Two reasons, 1. I love the look at the wave at .4 seconds and for that I don't need a filter and I wanted a longer exposure I would use the build in smooth reflection app that does long exposure without any color cast AMAZING, here is a video I did a while ago on the subject kzbin.info/www/bejne/p2eXc5huadeGerM

you learn nothing from pre-sets, they should be banned

Sadly just another over-manipulated and unreal-looking image. I've never seen a sunset like that before and certainly not one with such a wonky horizon.

[@NuiiChanuwat]

Fantastic idea Big Thank.
