I use this simple trick when trying to find the best composition with a wide angle lens. I am back in the stunning Lake District and also get some conditions I really didn't expect.

@NigelDanson 4 года назад

Around ensuring that you look through screen and move around before placing tripod...

@rakneuro 4 года назад

I agree. I guess Nigel needs to smack me in the head and say, “I am about to tell you a simple trick that will improve your wide-angle landscapes.“ And then he needs to say, “remember, that was a simple trick that will improve your images.“ Thank you, Nigel.

One thing you forgot to point out in your safety talk, you're wearing a bright coloured jacket. I see so many people hiking in dark blues and greens that I worry that they would be hard to spot if they needed rescue.

lol, pajama comment cracked me up. Didn't expect that. Love your stuff Nigel. Just noticing this is three years old and just seeing it for the first time. I'm under a year into my photographic journey. My fave post of yours is you sending your images to other experienced photographers for feedback.

@NASA-AU. 4 года назад

I rarely comment on videos but felt I had to after seeing this, my first one of yours. Many of your philosophies (eg foreground interest, composing techniques) are exactly how I look at things. Also the sheer enjoyment of photographing landscapes- being amongst nature, appreciating it and taking it home in beautiful memories- yes there's nothing like it. Great work mate and your own appreciation comes across well- subbed. BTW, Im in Western Australia.

@Centauri27 3 года назад

I was attracted by your headline of "one simple trick" for amazing wide angle photos. After spending 16 minutes on your video, I'm still trying to figure out what that trick was? Was this video mis-titled or something?

3 года назад

I'm slowly going through my "watch later" list and it makes me realize how many landscape photographers use clickbaity titles that are barely discussed in the video. I'm glad I looked at the comment section after a few minutes of watching because I could still not figure out the title of the video. At least now I won't have to go through yet another vlog about tripod, filters, and f-stops...

@Centauri27 3 года назад

@ Many RU-vid videos have "click baity" titles, but this is one of the most egregious examples. I should've done what you did--read the comments while watching, instead of wasting 16 whole minutes on it.

@Wrecksy 3 года назад

@@Centauri27 If you're watching solely for one magic trick that will make you a better photographer, then you're doing it wrong. Nigel's videos are full of good information. There's no silver bullet trick to make you better.

@Centauri27 3 года назад

@@Wrecksy Nope, not looking for a silver bullet. I watch many photographers across different channels for ideas. Video titles are important to catch your attention. This particular one teased, but did not deliver. If you read the other comments, I'm not the only one who felt this way. However I don't doubt that Nigel's videos have good information!

Hi Nigel, I realize it's almost two years since you produced this video on wide angle lens photography. I really appreciate your efforts and information. You have lots of terrific points and examples.

I'll watch this at least one more time. Thanks again. 😎 ⭐ 👌 😍

@CraigBoehman 4 года назад

Great presentation Nigel! Well done. I love seeing the places you go and how you go about your process. I continue to watch you even though I'm not a landscape shooter. The only feedback I could possibly give is on the music - which for me, takes me right out of it. I think I'd rather listen to your ambient on your camera, especially of the gushing stream. Anyway, that's a minor thing although I admit that music is likely needed for a lot of videos and it's never easy selecting the right jam (plus it's time consuming, most of all!). Glad to see your corner of the world open too. Here in Mumbai, there are still restrictions due to pandemic. Take care and best wishes for your next outing.
