Some of the world's most popular and spectacular locations are unsurprisingly very popular as tourists flock in droves, whether it's Rome's Colosseum, the Eiffel tower in Paris or the Great Pyramids of Giza in Egypt.
Even busy cities like Edinburgh, or seaside beach towns, are often full of people and tourists going about their day. As a photographer you may be able to perfectly wait for a time when there's a gap and you're able to take a shot without any people. However for many locations this just isn't possible due to the high footfall. Another option would be to beat the crowds and arrive early but this restricts you to the type of available lighting you'll get at those more unsociable hours.
So, in this project, we look at two different ways you can work around this issue for cleaner scenic shots - one in-camera and another method using Photoshop. Let's get to it...
TECHNIQUE 1 STACK & STITCH
01 SET UP ON A TRIPOD
You’ll be taking multiple images of the same scene and stitching together the best parts in software. To make the stitching process as simple as possible, it’s best to set up on a tripod and lock off the focus and settings for consistent results.
