Hey Serge. It's been about a year since I stopped by your channel and it was so good to hear your enthusiasm and excitement again. It was you who really switched me on to Lightroom and I really appreciate you sharing you skills and knowledge so freely. Merci beaucoup Monsieur :)
When I see your videos, I always think what a nice and friendly photographer and person you are! Nice work, I'm learning more and more from your videos :) Greetings from Germany :)
I would really appreciate if you could make a video on how you prepare for a trip to some unknown place. How you pick and find the place. I mean.. How do you choose a location? How do you find those places where to go? I see millions of mesmerizing places on 500px but most of the time I have no clue where it is
Thats a great idea! Sometimes I clicking myself through 500px and see how people set a composition and shot that picture. Even though I visited that place a thousand times, I would have never come to that idea. How could u train that and how to improve in such things?
Once again Another amazing video that’s informative and helpful. You are the man Serge. Thank you so much. If I had the money to travel I would follow you to your speeches!
Allô Serge, C'est Jessica de Montréal, Québec! I am very thankful for your work and your channel. I learned a lot from you. Have you visited Montréal? What do you do with all the pictures that you take? Do you delete the rejected ones? Storage is expensive. What do you suggest? Merci beaucoup. À très bientôt! Bonne Année
Maybe it's not natural, but natural look of bad weather is plain ugly... just like bad weather. :) This tutorial is awesome! You just made me realize, that during bad, ugly weather I can still go outside and shoot some photos. Thanks a lot! :)
Love your enthusiasm! Im wondering why I only have three white balance options under my basic panel.. First being custom, auto, as shot. How do get daylight, tungsten, cloudy, ect. I am using lightoom 5.
one way that you can use in LR, is to set your location for your photographs on the world map, it then becomes part of the information tagged into the photographs data. then people can look up the different places and possibly go to the locations and try out your teaching techniques for them selves Serge. its at the end of the Metadata files. if you were going to do a workshop, people could look up the proposed shoot before hand, if you had some photographs already, and get a feel for the place you are thinking of taking them. hope this helps
Hello, just pass to say that your tutorials are amazing , big difference in my photos since I follow you in UA-cam ! Big thanks for you for sharing ! Can I ask what tripod you use in this video , seems to be very light and stable ? Thank you once again !
Just a short Tipp, if u want to compare the pictures Press Y, then can see bevor and after. Nice Video thanks a lot, gonna play a bit with what I have learned on my hikingtrip photos!
Hey I'm new too the channel love your videos I wanted to start landscape photography I first want to start off by saying what kind of camera do you have and lens
do you use slow shutter speeds to change the way the water looks and skies? im trying to learn how to get that painted look on the water and sky like i keep seeing. wasnt sure if it was edited like that or partially due to a long shutter
Serge, as usual, excellent ! I do have a question for you though. I do a lot of hiking in the Australian outback. I carry a backpack with the usual lenses and other photo gear as well. I tend to have my dslr already fitted to my tripod and have it slung over my shoulder as I walk ( usually on uneven and rough tracks). I have slipped and fallen now on four occasions and have damaged my tripod and camera. I don't like the idea of packing up my camera in my backpack and tripod away each time i leave an area as there could be another photo opportunity around the bend. So, my question to you is ...... "do you have any suggestions on how to carry your gear without having to pack it away each time and still keep safe ? " ( or am i just resigned to falling over on a regular basis ! ) Thanks mate, I'd appreciate any advice you may have.
I like the end results, and learned a lot, but I can't help but feel like it's under-exposed (the first picture), my hand were itching to add brightness cuz the house was pretty much lost to me
I see you're using a Peak Design backpack, is it a review sample? Are you going to review it in one of your videos? I'm having mine shipped somewhere December so I'd really like to know what you think of it
Are the MP important for you? At 6:14" You should start taking care more your histogram. The 20" photo is not burn out. If you would know about how many information (pixels at the end) are loosing by moving the histogram to the left...
Thank you for sharing this, nice to see you sorting through your not-so-good images. Not seen that before. I bet every photographer has lots of these, they just don't show them! Your editing explanation is a bit fast for me. Do your training tutorials have some accompanying ebook? I'd have to keep stopping/starting the video to keep up with each step
As I was with Serge on this trip to Lauterbrunnen, I can answer for him: Serge used a Sony a7R 2. You can see here the gear he uses: photoserge.com/my-gear
To see your before, without having to go to your history. Just hit your backslash key \(above "Enter/Return" button) then just hit it again to back to your adjustments. Might save you some time.
As a photographer, can you just take pictures without all the editing? I ask this because I'm more a fan of keeping the picture as it naturally looks instead of editing it to make it look better and add stuff to it
I don't think so: nowdays everyone take pictures with their phones and there are so many pictures around that people got used to the normality too much, so that to stand up from all this pictures, you must edit them to catch the attention; you can find on the internet hundreds of pictures of the same beautiful place, so you have to do something to make your picture different from the other 100. I have yet to know a photographer that doesn't do something to his pictures, even though it depends on what you do (for example, if you work in a bar/club where they hire a photographer to take pictures of clients to then post them on facebook, you just add a bit of contrast, a bit of vibrance, you add the logo, and with copy&paste you're done). When photography was invented, it took the place of drawing art (which became more abstract) because it was better to represent the reality, and it became a new artform; now that everyone takes hundreds of (shitty) pictures with their phones, "real" photographers could became a new kind of artists who use photography to represent reality and nature, but in a different way that our eyes can't normally see. Anyway the discussion about the "naturality of pictures" is not so obvious: do our eyes really see in the exact same way from person to person? What is the "real look" of something? is using a flash or a polarizer considered "pre-shot editing" or are they ok? what about using different lenses than 35mm (which is our FOV)? and what about shutter speed and aperture (depth of field)?
Excellent answer! I too sometimes wonder about editing pictures and making them different from what you're seeing, but then I remember that the days where photography was used just to capture a moment are long gone. Photography now a days is much more of an art form.
Yes, just shoot JPEG and you will have a finished image based on the specifications of the engineers who designed your camera. You can probably select among a number of presets (Bright, Saturated, etc.), but ... uh oh! How "natural" are they? That is a really philosophical conundrum, but it doesn't require LR or PS. Cheers!
you're in the wrong place for that, serge will show you how to make an eye-catching image. if you really want to learn more subtle editing, maybe try Joshua Cripps.
Totally agree with you, just looking at the photographs he has taken they are only average, nothing special, not even in composition, this is the same for all of his work. All I can say is he fakes the images. To me this is not real photography and as of yet I have not seen a real photograph from Serge.
I know right, you're not a real photographer unless you use a medium format camera from the 30's. And no dodging or burning in the dark room. (Sarcasm) Where do we draw the line? No manipulation at all? if so Ansel Adams wasn't doing photography either. Also digital art in my opinion wouldn't involve a camera in the first place.
You're the BEST Lightroom teacher on UA-cam. My photography is better just from learning from you!
Hey Serge. It's been about a year since I stopped by your channel and it was so good to hear your enthusiasm and excitement again. It was you who really switched me on to Lightroom and I really appreciate you sharing you skills and knowledge so freely. Merci beaucoup Monsieur :)

Hey I'm new too the channel love your videos I wanted to start landscape photography I first want to start off by saying what kind of camera do you have and lens
Which ND Filter did you use to get long shutter on a daylight?
Thank you Sarge.
what set up are you shooting with if you dont mind me asking.
Thank you. I live in the UK, so this is great :-)
What camera and lense did you use for this video?
Very helpful, Thank You!!
do you use slow shutter speeds to change the way the water looks and skies? im trying to learn how to get that painted look on the water and sky like i keep seeing. wasnt sure if it was edited like that or partially due to a long shutter
EnVision i think its due the long shutter speed

Jim Demetriou have a look at peak design capture
With what camera didyou make this picture?
I like the end results, and learned a lot, but I can't help but feel like it's under-exposed (the first picture), my hand were itching to add brightness cuz the house was pretty much lost to me
Amazing tutorial! Tq sir!
I see you're using a Peak Design backpack, is it a review sample? Are you going to review it in one of your videos? I'm having mine shipped somewhere December so I'd really like to know what you think of it
Serge, you recently said you had a new favorite lens for the a7r ii. Is it the 70-300 G f4-5.6? I didn't see it on your Gear page w affiliate links
Hi Serge, could you please do a tutorial on how to achieve an Andrew Kearns type of look? That would be awesome! Thank you.
Switzerland paradise on earth
Yes! Ideal for photographers such a beautiful place
the best ever .. thank you
trop bien merci !!!
Are the MP important for you? At 6:14" You should start taking care more your histogram. The 20" photo is not burn out. If you would know about how many information (pixels at the end) are loosing by moving the histogram to the left...
AWESOME!!!

Your editing explanation is a bit fast for me. Do your training tutorials have some accompanying ebook? I'd have to keep stopping/starting the video to keep up with each step
Stephen, after you watch several of his videos, you'll see that he does pretty much the same editing on all of his photos. You'll get the hang of it.
What are your plans for visiting Geneva ? I was driving through today, some nice clouds hanging around !
So no plans for Geneve ?
Serge,I like your jacket. What brand is it?

look at photo hobbyists that use their phones or GOPRO...
you're in the wrong place for that, serge will show you how to make an eye-catching image. if you really want to learn more subtle editing, maybe try Joshua Cripps.
dommage que ce soit seulement en anglais !!!!
lol so hard to teach urself to edit while at work :/ im getting it tho... next step is new professional camera :D
This isn't photography, it's digital art.
Totally agree with you, just looking at the photographs he has taken they are only average, nothing special, not even in composition, this is the same for all of his work.
