Watch Serge Ramelli Use Photoshop to Turn a Boring Scene of the Eiffel Tower into a Masterpiece (VIDEO)

Serge Ramelli is a French photographer based in Paris where photo opportunities abound. Even in the City of Lights, however, weather and lighting conditions often fail to cooperate, and in this video Ramelli demonstrates how Photoshop can help you create a masterpiece out of a couple less-than-perfect shots.

As you’ll see in the video below, Ramelli created his money shot by first shooting two long exposures and making perspective adjustments before merging the Raw files. Then he added basic enhancements to shadows, highlights, clarity and color. After a few tweaks with Photoshop’s Free Transform tool, Ramelli finished the job by adding some clouds.

So the next time you’re out shooting and conditions aren't quite right, pop off a couple exposures and try this technique yourself.

You can find more videos from Ramelli on his YouTube channel, and don’t miss the earlier tutorial we shared with Ramelli’s Lightroom secrets for dramatic black-and-white photographs.
