I am passionate about landscape photography and would love the opportunity to take you with me on my quest to capture the awesome world in which we live. I have been a full-time professional documentary photographer/filmmaker for the last 12 years and have loved every minute. Feel free to leave a comment if you have any questions. 👍
Great advice Ian 👍 you say turn screen brightness down for printing. Do you leave it there also for web viewing? Do you edit for web with screen brightness up and then turn down and edit adjust for print? Thanks Nick
I love long exposure with water scenes. That effect just gives a very distinct look to an image that it's kinda haunting in black and white. I love the shots you got, mate and I hope all the best. <3
I really enjoy to scout as much as taking pictures. The little surprises we get to find is always exciting, and sometimes the big bag only gets in the way. This weekend for example I decided to go and do some scouting on a local woodland 10-15m drive from my home. Instead of the X-H2, I took my X-E4 with the 35mm 1.4 and the 16-80. Funny enough I got some pictures of some trees and abstracts I really like. At least instagram worth :) Didn't took the main camera bag and tripod, and it was really enjoyable. Now I have some spots to go back too and had a bit of fun. Cheers.,
Hi Ian Am I missing something. You mentioned the BBF will hold focus while you shoot. Especially on moving subjects. But if the subject is moving wouldn't it not be in focus if the original focus is locked in. Just a little confused.
I love the concept of #3 but it feels just a wee-bit off in the composition. Thankfully, you've also got #2, which is gorgeous (but then again, so are all your photos, haha)
Useful tips, Ian, and #3 is my favorite! I love the dark shelter juxtaposed with the vibrant pastel sunset. Simple but beautiful and holds my eye. To me, it has elements of both landscape and street photography. The way you've married those elements makes it one of the most captivating images I've seen in some time.
Hi Ian, Good video as usual! My favorite is definitely #3. Very original, the subject stands out, and the balance between the front and side windows is remarkable!
Ian, I love the lighthouse shots (the nearest is 240+ miles from here!)... I'll go with the window frame; striking and unique. Maybe part of a 3 shot display on the wall or book?
Enjoyed the video as usual Ian. Certainly a great location for many times of the year. Great image's as usual. The one that i liked the most which caught my eye straight away was number 3. Great shot. Catch you on the next one mate.
I enjoyed the video as usual Ian. It was nice to see you out trying something different,not that i am not enjoying your landscape video's. Like you i do mostly landscape, but i enjoy taking image's of old ruins and woodland. Great image's as usual mate. Look forward to seeing more of this. Catch you on the next one.
If I were to be limited to one lens, I assume id be limiting myself either because I want to travel light or because I want to creatively limit myself to one focal length in which case id probably take a 50mm 1.8 prime. But I usually take 3 lenses. 17-35mm f2.8-4 Tamron, Nikkor 60mm f2.8d micro, and Nikkor 180mm f2.8 prime. None of them are particularly heavy or bulky and it pretty much covers the entire range of what I want to shoot. I like to have a telephoto so I can pick out subjects. This can make it so much easier to get some good shots when everything seems to be working against you. Also its a great wildlife lens as long as you can get close enough. I could take any standard lens but I bring a macro, because macro lenses are sharp, plus when I'm out in nature you never know what interesting flowers or bugs etc you might come across. And the 17-35 zoom just to shoot at 17, can be a challenge, definitely need an interesting foreground element when this wide, but can get those classic wide landscape shots. Its also a pretty decent Astro lens for a 2.8 Sometimes I wish I had brought with me my 300mm prime or my 200-500mm, but its a lot of extra weight to lug around on a hike. I do also have the Nikkor 24-120 f4 zoom with VR, and if I genuinely was taking one lens, it would probably be this.
Thanks Ian for an interesting video with great tips & comments....I agree that the correct lens is used for landscape photography...I find it confusing sometimes & usually only take two lenses out with me... great location.. cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
@@MrMojo271 doing that can expose noise and banding in the shadows, however doing too much ettr can create halos in parts that are pure whites. It's kind of situational dependant
Exposing to the right comes from analog days, it's the opposite for digital. Film retain a lot of information when exposed at high levels of brightness. IN contrast, digital retains shadow information very well but clips easily. If you want to capture all the details, it's best to shoot a lil darker to capture the brightest areas and then adjust in post processing.
#2 is my favorite. The tip on waiting 20 minutes or so after the sun drops below the horizon is perfect !! I have watched so many people pack up their gear and leave shortly after the sun sets, only to have the sky explode with colour that 20 minutes later.
