Thank you Nigel, I’ve followed your tutorials for 3 years or so. I’m a 75 year old Aussie Bloke and learn virtually day by day. I have wonderful assistance from a few SPECIAL PEOPLE. I will keep on keeping on. Thank you.

Hello Nigel Danson! Thank you for showing me a nice video! I really enjoyed it! Thank you for sharing! Have a nice day!

Great tutorial Nigel. Really made me think. I love portrait mode and i need to remember what you said here. Thanks.

@victaylor-amateurphotograp9171 2 года назад

Thanks so much Nigel. As always your videos get me thinking about my photography. That has to be a good thing. Also, just when are Mads and you coming to Australia? 😀

@peterebel7899 2 года назад

Decent tips for the challenging end of the focal range spectrum :-)

@anthonyplancherel8274 2 года назад

Great tips as always. Beautiful images too!

@CourtneyVictoria 2 года назад

Funnily enough when I first purchased my wide angle lens I barely used it because I didn't know how to compose well with it. Now it's always in my bag. Great video and points, a stunning location to show examples too.

@TheJoshuaPeg 2 года назад

Really good points as usual Nigel. I feel like good Wide-angle photos are a good indicator of someone's skill/experience, because it's such a difficult lens to create simple, pleasing images with. Hope Antarctica has treated you well (it certainly looks like it has!) 😁

@charlesdavis6371 2 года назад

Granted, you do find some amazing spots to shoot - but there's so much more. The way you can take in an entire scene, and find the beauty, the sweet spot - it's a talent very few have. I'd love to be shooting your "mistakes". But really? Your "mistakes" are "happy little accidents" (Bob Ross quote). I truly admire that you look to your own work, and critique that. You don't take other people's work and say "they should have done this or that". You are a true giant in your profession, and I cherish the knowledge you share with us. Thank you for another great video tutorial.

@traceybartlam5940 2 года назад

Really interesting points, thank you

@SueFerreira75 2 года назад

Thank you so much for the extensive thought and work you put into your videos. I know how much time this takes, adding in the drone shots, setting up the camera and walking in and out of shots, especially if you are on your own, plus the time thinking about the shots themselves. Great tips too about wide angle shots.

@davidfrost3770 2 года назад

Thanks for this video Nigel, some really usfull info i have picked up from it. Liked the printed shot. Envious of your Antarctica trip, went there on ship a few years ago visiting places like South Georgia Sandwich islands, Falklands and on to Antarctica itself. Looking forwards to your shots. Good luck with the ships internet, we had limited availability and quite costly.

@alexanderlintott4286 2 года назад

Love these so much, you have established yourself perfectly as a high quality RU-vidr and photographer.

@itchin4adventure688 2 года назад

Great video Nigel. I love where you get in the image and show how far the mountains appear and I love love the photo you printed at the end. Safe travels to you and the crew! Can’t wait to see the videos!

@ministryhelpsuk54 2 года назад

@MicroFourNerds 2 года назад

What a beautiful place and conditions!! Wonderful tips. I love a wide angle lens myself and often find myself doing a lot of these mistake

@Type_Run 2 года назад

Great vid that print at the end is absolutely stunning

@GrizDrummer25 2 года назад

Great video and absolutely brilliant final print! Contrast is spot-on, and everything balances perfectly, like you said. I tend to struggle with all of these aspects when using my 20mm, so I always appreciate the tips. I think my biggest are no "star" and wrong focus point. Then definitely not quite getting the framing right.

@stevenl.passalacqua3953 2 года назад

I really loved this video. I use a Lumix bridge camera and my widest angle is 24mm. But I can easly make a wider angle shot using the pano composite mode that I learnd from my favorite youtuber Nigel Danson 🙂🙂

@VlogPhotography 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this Nigel. I find wide angle creates so much foreground it can be difficult to eliminate and isolate my landscape so this has been really helpful. Loved the images captured. Thanks for sharing.

@SteveZodiac777 2 года назад

Great video - enjoyable & informative. Enjoy Antarctica!

@urselfandtom 2 года назад

Who's your camera person, Nigel?

@Kayahdog 2 года назад

Wonderful points and well illustrated as usual. Loved so many images in this vlog...well done. Question on the shot with the tufts of grass along the creek, do you find that you need to focus stack using wide angle more often to retain the sharpness? I believe that image was taken at f9 if I recall, but I often come home with a solid composition (I think) then I’m disappointed looking at the detail particularly in the immediate foreground. Any helpful hints? Thank you for your continued high quality vlogs!

@afsincelik 2 года назад

Fantasic to see you again :)

@edgar224 2 года назад

Great channel 👍 I would like to make a question, if I may. I have a 15-35mm and I am wondering if I should sell it and buy a 12-24mm instead. Do you use less than. 16mm, a lot? Thanks and keep the good work

@andymacdougall4221 Месяц назад

Love the video, LOVE the music (do you know the artist?). I'm shooting gfx50s + 23mmf4 in New Zealand's South Island (I'm from UK), similar to Glencoe in a lot of ways!

@MrBennyrick77 2 года назад

Love this video, I hope everyone else gets how key it is!. Question, why did you go f2.8? why not just shoot it all wide f8 and above? Was it because of light?. Bumping iso to 500 would not affect your image negatively if you needed it. I assume your using hyperfocal distance when you used f2.8?. Love everything yo do, it is like spot on, where so many other youtuber's specially for landscapes just waffle with general stuff that is like me making Italian pasta, or an Italian restaurant making it!. (Your the Italian restaurant to everyone else's home made bad dry pasta!)

@St.Olson_Photography 2 года назад

Finally the first one to view!!! Haha glad to be hear Nigel!

@St.Olson_Photography 2 года назад

Glad to see your enjoying the Antarctica trip on instagram too!

@alangauld6079 2 года назад

The biggest mistake people make with wide angles is using too wide an angle, so all you see is the foreground. But I agree that an L-bracket (and a levelling base) are essential game changers for a tripod!

@paulfowler3416 2 года назад

Interesting, I preferred the portrait version of the 2 shots at 7.50ish

@tonyburkhart888 2 года назад

I am second to none as a fan of your videos, but can I ask a question? You acknowledge where you get your music, but could you say who the artist is on this video and perhaps the name of the selection(s) used?

@Danny_Roman. 2 года назад

Thanks Nigel , great tips again. Nigel will you ever do a video all about your settings within the camera ?? Be good to see how yours is set up ect... ( Nigel , I visited your gear list and done an approximate quote to get all your gear lol...) £89.000 can I have a loan please. Lol wow that's some gear. I'm putting the lotto on

@billthompson4345 2 года назад

Nigel, who was the recording artist in your video? Music was incredible! Great choice. Do you secure one time use rights? If so what are the costs?

@matthewlemin5077 2 года назад

@neilbell2335 2 года назад

I loved this tutorial, as you would say - epic. Great tips for wide angle use. Glencoe looked just magical.

@RBztudio 2 года назад

Great video nigel.. Love your photography, so inspiring 📸❤, but I noticed you did shoot most on 2.8 aperture even having a close foreground.. hv you done any focus stacked????

@danielcampos8021 2 года назад

Love the content! One thing that I still struggle is with focus, I’d love to see you show where you focused on your pic examples. Sometimes I don’t know if you had to focus-stack the photos.

@amaitra 2 года назад

So many epic ... not a single "it does not get better than this"!

@MickHoward 2 года назад

LOL you have been watching too many videos from that Danish photographer ..using the word epic a bit too much!! Superb photography as always

Shockingly bad music. Turned me right off.

@ChrrZ 2 года назад

you really leveled up your videos with this absolutely beautiful music! thanks so much again for this very informative and inspiring video Nigel. would you be so kind and let me know the artist and songs you have used for this video?

@martharetallick204 2 года назад

Using my 14-24 has made me very aware of the edges of my photos. That has been very helpful.

@DS-ke8pq 2 года назад

Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! 13.45!!!! You did what????? So all along you’d been in “Valley” Coe had you? Two months of landscape photography in Lincolnshire for that faux pas, and a grovelling letter of apology to Queen Nicola.

@hurleygreen927 11 месяцев назад

Appreciate the wideangle shooting tips! I'm playing with a 12-24mm DX lens on a classic Nikon DX3400, and along with a 18-55mm kit lens, am loving the wide angle perpectives! Thanks again...

@virgincars 2 года назад

Thank you Nigel, really enjoyed this. Print looked incredible, do you have a printing service/company you would recommend?

@user-oz7cx3uf3q 2 года назад

Just for your knowledge on analytics. I could not connect with you music. I was dreading hearing it. Probably everyone else loves it.

@carlreid4161 2 года назад

Some invaluable tips there Nigel. Quick question for you what’s your etiquette regarding other photographers straying into your shot?

@lan9410 2 года назад

Hi Nigel, I understood your tip was with wide-angle lens, camera points down, will make the the mountain (far background) a bit bigger than camera leveled or points up a bit? Thanks

@GuidoVanDeWater 2 года назад

Great video i always struggle with wide angle ahots. Some great inages also. But in the end all I remember is... antartica omg when is that stuff getting online 🤣

@johnclarke1319 4 месяца назад

Excellent views nigel ( but more dead trees and dead grass + woolly hats) can't you get sponsored to do a show on Holiday shots, in warmer climes? Perhaps Volcanoes of Java, Rainforest on Sumatra etc. Everyone is shooting dead grass and icy cold scenes. it is getting boring.

@jonmorgan-parker4209 Год назад

Hi Nigel, hope your back isn’t giving you too much pain? Thank you for your innovating videos🙏 A huge fan!

@buyaport 2 года назад

Wide angle landscape shots? Most of the time rubbish. Makes your GREAT mountains look like mole hills. And the foreground is most of the time just generic, like rocks, grassland or sand. Makes for generic shots, not catching the specific location. So never even think of using a wide angle lens for landscape! (Use it for cityscapes, if you don't have an eye for details.)

@mr.t5610 2 года назад

Nigel, planning to do any video only about the process of printing that you go about !? Nooo Nigel, you should defenetly exluded the small rock in the right down corner, it's just such a distraction 😫!!

@scottweaverphotovideo 2 года назад

I've figured out why so many of the photo advice RU-vid guys offer constantly uses the word 'mistake': It improves your algorithm in hopes of getting more views. Why do I care? Because art creation.and vision are not cut and dried absolutes that can be defined, or even tried to be defined. You used 'mistake' about 25 times in this vid. Offering advice to other photographers is great, but causing them to think there is a defined right or wrong is... a mistake.

@earlteigrob9211 Месяц назад

Very good explanation!!! I live an ultrawide when I am right too close to the background (on purpose) and can find a compelling foreground object that may actually start just inches away from from the front of the lens. Keeping mess out of the foreground is also so important. I also find that there are times when shooting at an angle instead of level can add a lot of interest and creativity to the shot.

@jamesdunn7526 2 года назад

Hi Nigel. Are you able to recommend somewhere to have my photos printed?

@henningsvrd696 2 года назад

Thanks for sharing these good tips and ofcorse all the videos you make. I have a question, I have been looking for å tripod awhile, and I saw yours in this video. Good hight and good movement of the legs. What kind of tripod du you use here? Thank you ever so much.

@JROwensPhotos 2 года назад

When the other photographer shows up and is getting in your shot, just remember you're in the Highlands, so go with the Highlander rule: There Can Be Only One. You know what to do. ;)

@valrion.photography 2 года назад

13:55, headless chicken mode : ON 😁 Amazing conditions you got there Nigel! Very interesting tips, even though I don't have wide lens for now, 24mm at the lowest. But still, all you say also works somehow in my case 😊 I'm following your insta stories in Antarctica and I'm very much looking forward to seeing the videos you've prepared!

Is it just me or are you following Thomas Heaton's music now?

@chrisjames1924 2 года назад

I was out in the Shropshire Hills with my XT3 yesterday and I took a very similar shot to the one at 10:55, with the grass and stream. The Nikon files look great but the Fuji files turn everything to a blurry mush. I had the 16 f1.4 at f11 with a much faster shutter speed and low ISO. Fuji isn't that great at handling landscapes with busy details such as trees, shrubbery and grasses.

@QingyuLin 2 года назад

The most significant mistake of using a wide-angle lens is taking too many pictures because it makes people vomit. 😄

@peaceuponpeace1 2 года назад

You are mistaken you who said Photography isn’t art !

@tw9535 2 года назад

I have TONS of respect for anyone who can find truly interesting compositions with that wide of a wide angle. It is very, very hard to do. Often one has to trick themselves into believing that a foreground element is far more interesting than what it _actually_ is. (Of course this is coming from a portrait guy that lives life between 70-105).

@journeytoaphotograph 2 года назад

😁😁😅 Very guilty of this! In the field, take one sunset, add a large foreground rock, boom job done. Then in post, heavily apply the belief filter 🤣

@tw9535 2 года назад

@@journeytoaphotograph Ha!! Yeah, I think geologists might be the only people who appreciate rocks more than photographers. And even that is only sometimes. But I apply that foreground belief filter myself, of course. As a portrait guy I have a collection of pictures of blurry bushes, tree limbs and leaves that could make a Home & Garden catalog. Followed by sometimes running that belief filter through some frequency separation, too .

@kennethgnielsen 2 года назад

I'm missing the points. It would have been so nice to see a list in the above comments to 'list' the points being made. I do get that you need to explore the best vantage point to 'frame' the most interesting viewpoint.

This was an enjoyable video. Really liked it.

@krisztiankovacs88 2 года назад

Wow amazing locations, can someone help me where are these?

@andrewfuller62 2 года назад

Nice one Nigel. The use of foreground material is one which is so, so important in w/a photography, especially when in portrait format. Also, the notion of getting very close to larger background elements if you wish to still use the wide end is very important. Otherwise, I believe you have to have some decent sky formation to balance the foreground.

@desgardner7169 2 года назад

Foreground interest is important on any picture, the problem I have is trying to accept all the distortion that wide-angle lenses produce in landscape pictures, quite often the finished result is unreal! Thanks for the tips and video.....
