It's good to see Serge working with Lightroom without jumping to Photoshop. His use of the "mask intersect" feature was very informative and helpful.

[@SergeRamelliPhotography]

Thank you! Yes this new feature is amazing! By the way, what is the number one thing you would like to learn on photography and retouching? I will make a video on it! :)

[@johnmurphy7953]

@@SergeRamelliPhotography Thanks for your videos over the years. The number one thing(s) I'd like to learn in retouching would be most of the Masking tools - more on the variations with using the Intersect and also the Add and Subtract - which I confuse. Another idea for a video would be on how your photography and retouching advice has grown or changed over the years. At present, as a starting point, I still use your old dictum of moving the Highlights and Shadows to -100 and +100, Clarity to +30 and Vibrance to +25, and Sharpening to 40/10/25 with Masking at 50. I then adjust the Whites and Blacks to the edge of clipping before going on with other adjustments. Thanks.

Nice video! I learned some good tips :)

[@lieslwalshphotography]

I like seeing your camera settings as you take the photos, thanks!

[@JimEmbury]

[@EK-Pilot]

Very nice.

[@richardlynam2007]

Thanks so much....such a helpful video

[@giovannifx.4945]

Great video! Could you please tell me the make of the quick release base CLAMP (to secure the L bracket to the tripod head)? I also do not feel at ease with the screw knob. Thanks

[@WILLIAMPERRELLI]

Question. Are u setting the lens to in infinity, one meter or are you using a DOF calculator? Thanks William

[@ytuberization]

I would not recommend to shoot at F22 because of diffraction.

[@MarsArseniy]

this is the favorite aperture value of all French photographers, ahaha

[@joaquintrigueros]

Beautiful. Thank you. However, be aware that Sony has always been notorious for sensor dust, apparently to this day from what I can see.

[@alanm.6096]

Question Serge: you always crop using the 16x9 ratio...what size(s) do you usually print your photos? Thank you.

[@bonnieleefowler3206]

I'd like to know what size print also.😊

[@svetlanagrobman3476]

Serge, do u do panorama on manual?

[@CarlosHernandez-kg8py]

What time of the year was these where the crowds were almost gone?

[@michaelespeland]

Never. Tourist traps will always be traps

[@frederickwillemssens1150]

I have the same lens (Sony 24-105mm, F4) , toplens for this kind of photography !

[@ziggyziggyz1756]

Just wait for dramatic sky, use glass filters and shooot...

[@Kostas_hantavas]

Seeing opening the shadows all the way and killing the highlights as some sort of a "formula" just makes me cringe… "Embrace your shadows and protect your highlights".

[@miliziametallica]

this is not photography but graphics. if you are not capable of making a city or a landscape interesting in bad weather, it is better to do nothing or change jobs.
