It really shows you how awesome a good ND filter is: way quicker, less chances of problems with alligning layers and during blending and less chromatic aberration because you don't have to shoot at f22.. Both B&W and color are awesome.
I also thought this at the end of the video but its a fascinating process to watch and now I apricate the filter even more.
Also immediate results with ND filter
Diffraction and other image issues about shooting at f22 aint that much of a problem when you blend so many images together. You aint looking for sharpness.
I still own NDs so I aint cheering for any team here. But that was the point.
Love the way that you describe both!! Helps me understand the process even better. The way that you teach photography makes me feel that I am there with you (although probably a little warmer from the comfort of my home.) Your videos are so inspiring!!
Tycker mest om den med färger! Sedan måste jag passa på att tacka för alla dessa fantastiska videos du gör, så lärorika och inspirerande! Tack!!
Hi Mads. Once again a very instructive tutorial. Your enthusiasm for what you do is inspirational. Thank you for the time and effort you put into these videos.
Welcome back, it's good to see you enjoying all 'photography outside' thing.
Black and white my favorite. Thank you Mads. Learn something new every day 🙏🏻
Thank you for this tip😃. I didn't know it but I will definitely use it.
Just phenomenal! The b&w turned out exceptionally. Well done!!!
Love using median stacking - it's also useful for getting rid of transients in a series of shots (like people walking passed a building or vehicles in a road) - btw I preferred the b&w - very moody!
You made it sound easy well done. I did this many years ago its very cool to see it finished
The horizontal black and white picture is absolutely stunning. Great work mads 👌
Thank you for sharing this technique. My favourite of the three images is the colour version.
Mads, thank you! Great tip. And very awesome picture!
Very cool and ingenious process. I liked them all.
Awesome tip and thanks for the detailed explanation start to finish. I like the black and white, landscape orientation.
The B&W is my favourite. Thanks for the editing tips.
Thank you so much for this! I often find myself in situations where I wish I had an ND filter and neglected to bring one, or I don’t have one for the lens I’m using. I also like your method of compositing in sharp elements taken at a larger aperture, to avoid the effects of diffraction. I will definitely be using this technique in the future. Well done!
Thank you Mads! Great and informative video. I like the B&W best.
Hi Peter, Thanks a lot for this great tutorial. Very useful for me! God bless you and keep photographing great scenes!
What a timing with this video!
Just last week I went out and forgot my filters. But I put down my camera on a tripod in a couple of compositions to try to catch some nice waves, and shot in bursts.
I didn't get spectacular waves that way -- my camera wasn't low enough. But I did get several series of images that are perfect practice for this techniques.
Playing with different stacking methods I get some nice different effects, such as ghostly mists around some of the rocks in the water.
Thanks!
Absolutely love your videos, btw my preference was the first shot in colour, super sharp and smooth, very nice.
the vertical black and white image is gorgeous
Great work my friend !! Really liked the foreground stones in the image ..
Absolutely gorgeous, well done!
Thanks for the video. My fav is the B&W landscape image.
Fantastic video as always Mads! I gotta go with the Black and White landscape mode shot, but I love all three shots. Actually learned a bunch, had no idea you could stack exposures like this to completely smooth out water. Keep up the great work!
Thanks a lot, you are very welcome and I will for sure :)
Perfect workaround when I forget the filters or just dont have one for the particular lens in use!
I loved the first black & white the best, but I also liked the color one. Really interesting video, thanks.
Fantastic pictures 👏🏾
Love all the photos, but the black and white to me are absolutely stunning.
All are so beautiful. If I had to choose a favorite edit, I think it would be your vertical B+W. I would have been tempted to lighten the water, at first. But, I agree with the darker contrast, and stand corrected! Thank you, so much!
Thanks for the explanation, the B&W is my favorite...
Learnt some new PS techniques. I liked the BW image. Thanks
I love the black and white image the best. Great job Mads as always.
Thanks a lot, David! :)
Great video. Thanks for sharing your process.
Gorgeous end result - I prefer the b&w. Thank you for all the work it took to make the image!
You are very welcome and thanks, Louise :)
Excellent Mads thank you..
I liked the black and white. I was at the beach today with this very problem thanks for the tip.
I loved the black and white ones they were just amazing🖤👌
Remember seeing this method in one of Tony Northrup's video... It's amazing, I used to go around shooting long Exposure photos on my phone because didn't have a professional setup before
Useful tips using your tripod in the sea, thanks!
What a great video! Thanks for such a detailed explanation how to do the long exposure without the filters. I will also play around with it more into a daytime ☺️ curious what I’ll get 😋
Black and white for sure. Thanks for the video. Very helpful.
Very useful information and explanation. Thank you. Difficult for me to decide which image I like best, but I do like them.
Great, i forgot that one! thanks for remember this.
Interesting technique, thank you for sharing.
Hi Mads, each of the pictures have his own charme. But for me, the black and white composition looks more beautiful. Thanks for the video.
Cool technique! Thanks for sharing. Preferred the black and white as it fit the scene a little more. Plus the leading line of the beach worked well.
An excellent tutorial Mads and have used this approach even when using filters as opposed to one really long exposure. Loved the black and white images at the end. I was gutted to have missed the masterclass as my schedule meant I was travelling on the first session but I hope it was a successful and enjoyable event fo those who attended
Thanks a lot, Jim! I also prefer the B&W photos. Maybe you'll have the time to catch it next time ;)
I really love the bw photos, great work
Thanks, a very nice trick to solve when forgetting to bring the filters! Used to stacking and masking to compensate for the dynamic range of my camera which is not really the best
I love the black and white👌
Love the video and the multiple exposures stacking.
I prefer the black & white photo but honestly the cropped version when you are zooming out (the square size) @ 12:40 it's my absolute favorite ;) .
Thank you Mads ! You're my main inspiration and motivation in landscape photography !!!
Love the Masterclass but due to family circumstances I could not attend the second day live. :( , hope to see it afterwards.
Great tutorial
I loved the black and white image, it reminded me to look back on a recent image I took in the blue hour. I'm going to try the black and white to see how it turns out. Stay safe
Good stuff! Surely will stack all the files in 3/4 divided stacks from now on. Thanks for sharing the idea!
You're welcome :)
Amazing tip! Thanks for sharing.
Awesome tip, I'll definitely try this soon!
I also have a tip - if you don't care about having a BW long exposure photo, you can use a welding glass as a makeshift filter. I had some pretty good results when I tried that.
I love the black and white compositions most.
They‘re all so nice but the b&w is my favorit too. So cool to learn how to take a l.e. without a nd. Thanks.
I'm a sucker for black and white, they were my fav!
tnanks for this interesting trick
Nice technique. Good job.
Wooo woo wooo amazing I have not got a ND filter yet and wanna take some long exposure tomorrow this is amazing thankyou so much for sharing brilliant the colour one is my favourite really really nicely done brilliant amazing image and thanks so much for that info
I leaned a lot Mads! I think I will haul my big filters with me....But I appreciated learning how to blur the water without them! Loved the B/w best!
Thanks for the info.
OMG, STACKING is the answer. I have been looking for certain functions and ideas for years now and never figured it out until just now. Thank you so much for this video. Keep up the good work!!!
You are so very welcome, Eric! :)
I loved the video. Great tips. And I actually liked the horizontal B&W. I felt it gave the image more character. Love your channel. Have been a subscriber for about a year. Always great tips and advice. Thanks for doing this.
Thanks a lot, Matt, and thanks for your thoughts and for continuing to follow the channel :)
Hey Mads, many thanks for this one! I am this "always forgets his filters dude" and wish I had known this before! 🙃 it is also useful for my 14 mm which isn't capable of being combined with filters. Thank you again!
Love the mono 👍
Thank you! The technique works perfectly in Photopea. I've actually thought about this for a while now and had no idea it was such a good idea that the industry had already integrated it into popular software. I'm still new to pro photography.
Mads, I've liked most the vertical, coloured photo, with two stones in the foreground and the horizontal B&W.
Great video - and good rock-skimming skills too! I bought the A7Rii instead of A7Riii so I can do this in-camera. I use it all the time.
Thanks for inspiration.
The color composition with the rocks as foreground elements looks very nice. Would like to see the steps you go through during your post processing in terms of color adjustments and so on.
I have a few editing videos on my TH-cam, you can start with those :)
Thank you for this. I have avoided using lenses that don't filter well, (like your Sony 12-24). With this awesome technique I can now use my bulbous wide primes for long exposure work! You're a genius!
Hehe thanks a lot, but I did learn this tip from someone else ;)
Used the stacking multiple images technique for a while. I started doing it because I can't afford to be buying filters. I actually posted a little video on my Instagram about it about a month or so ago. Definitely handy when you are not carrying filters around with you
Yes, exactly, some people can't afford filters and this is a great alternative.
That's a video which I needed to watch a couple of weeks earlier before I bought quite expensive ND1000 filter :D It's really great! :) ...and I like both color and B&W version the same, they are both excellent!
Horizontal B&W shot is great.
I liked them both - the colour shot has beauty, while the black and white has `mood`.
A good tutorial and some beautiful images. I have played around with this technique myself (although I do prefer using an ND filter). The tip about extending the bottom tripod legs sections is a good one but you have to be careful as these thinner legs are also less stable than the thicker upper leg sections. I tend to use a small extension of the bottom legs and then some of the middle section (depending on conditions). I also like to check the alignment of the images before stacking as, even when being very careful, there can sometimes be a tiny shift in the camera position. Auto-Align layers normally saves this. Thanks for sharing
I also thought about the thin legs as they are not as stable.
Wow, I've never thought this could also work to create long exposures when there's too much light and you don't have an ND filter! Only though it's useful to remove people from shots. Much appreciated, learned a very useful skill as a landscape/nature photographer today!
Great video, makes me happy though that I have neutral density filters. I agree with the black and white photo, very nice.
There is a shortcut. If you use file-->scripts-->statistics, you get a dialog box that prompts you to load your images, select your statistic (e.g. median) from a list and then Photoshop produces the same results as in the video. If you tick off the box "align layers", you can overcome any issues with your tripod shifting. You'll have to crop the image a little bit afterwards.
Very true, but I guess you'll still need to take your processing power into consideration?
@@MadsPeterIversen Yes, it works exactly the same way as in your video - just an easier way to launch the process. It requires a computer with a good graphics card, at least 32 GB of memory and a decent CPU.
Thanks for sharing...............
I just found your channel and I can’t believe I hadn’t seen it before! All your videos are so detailed but simple to understand for newbies and interesting enough for novices!
The amount of detail you go to in the description box etc is super helpful as well. Loving your videos and will be looking into your courses and ebooks when I get paid!
Thank you very much for the kind words, Rhaea! I hope you'll enjoy the other videos too ☺️
B&W is the best i think. ..thx
The color shot was the best IMO
Class photos Peter I like the color one but both are excellent photos
I liked both but the black and white was my favourite. I think the ND filter makes life easier but this is a great technique to know
Great thanks
Like BW boat. Thanks for video. Very informative.
I like the minimalist black and white.
Another excellent video Mads. When I think that you can’t come up with something new, you surprise us all again. I would never have even thought of this method of creating a long exposure. Difficult decision between the mono images, but definitely the Landscape version for me. I thought it would be the Portrait due to the tall mast, but not this time.
Thanks a lot, Gordon. It was a technique I learned years ago from another photographer, I just usually have my filters with me ;)
Nice technique
Hi Mads, great tutorial but the b&w certainly works for me
Thank you for the video. You showed me something new, thank you. BTW I liked the B&W image better, but both are very nice photographs
If you take multiple exposures of a building (for example) and it has lots of people in, use that median technique too, it does a decent job
Yes exactly, I once used it to remove a lot of tourists in the St Mark's Square :)
I once used hi ND filter at the middle of a day, about 30s exposure. All moving people dissapeared
Thanks Mads. A very instructive tutorial. Does your shooting process work with intense daylight ? Meaning the shutter speed for each single shot will be "fast".
