There is nothing else to say: you are a reference for landscape photography. Thank you for share your routine. 😊

@ginoandereggen3031 4 года назад

A few days ago I went on a hike with my girl and found a beautiful waterfall in the woods, I really paid attention to all the things I learned from watching Nigels videos and managed to get an Image I would have never thought I'd be able go get! Having found this channel when starting photography a couple of months ago is without any doubts the most valuable source of education, thank you Nigel for always sharing your experiences! You're the best teacher by far !

@desgardner7169 4 года назад

One video a week is fine by me, they are aways enjoyable, thank you for putting them on here!

@williammcginnis4151 4 года назад

When I watch your videos I feel like you are having a one-on-one conversation with me. I felt that I t was nice of you to mention your father and your memories of hikes with him. Love your work and your approach to sharing with us all.

@alexandresilvaphotography2278 4 года назад

I started shooting less than a year ago and what inspired me was to start looking on the internet for someone who motivated me. I started following someone named Nigel Danson. It inspired me so much that today I don't miss any of your publications. And again today you proved it. Congratulations on the professionalism and motivation for someone like me. You are the best.

@glttheriault 4 года назад

That is very useful to see how you scout a place and show the possible composition. Especially when you explain how the composition could work when the light hits those mountains. On another note, amazing to see those rock fences. We don't have that in Canada! Thanks for sharing and hope to see more of your scouting videos!

@celinemorisset5533 4 года назад

Awesome Nigel! Thank you so much for taking us along. Always such good learning.

@allandavies1187 4 года назад

Hello Nigel, I have learned many tips from others these past 30 years . But really enjoyed this tutorial, seeing your passion, listening to your inspiring talk. It just wants me to get some weight of myself, get fitter and just get out and enjoy myself like you obviously do ...

@SteveP_2426 4 года назад

I agree with you about the Wayfarer's breakfasts Nigel. Had 2 on a long weekend on Dartmoor just recently...YUM!! :-) I agree that quality of videos is more important than quantity but they don't need to be so high production it ties you up editing for ages.I think we all pick up so many tips as it is.

@iZogAdventure 4 года назад

Thank you Nigel. Totally agree having a camper helps with the early mornings. Also gives you a place to chill when the weather turns.

@rebeccamoore4177 4 года назад

@williamtrentel5222 4 года назад

Glad your scout went better than mine today. My chosen trail was closed due to nesting eagles. Options B, C, D provided nothing but a couple nice walks in the woods. Watching your vlog tonight is motivating me to get out there at 4:00 a.m. again soon.

@simeonmarkfernandes1423 4 года назад

The detail and simplicity in that image is beautiful. The color variations with the greens is so pleasing to the eye. Agree with u on the balance of the shot as well. The slight sunlight on the hill towards the right, plays a huge role in the flow of the image too. Loved the shot!

@petracunningham4457 4 года назад

Really informative video, thank you, so helpful to listen to your thoughts as you assess a landscape’s potential. Agree it can be really difficult to get up so early in the summer

@haroldmassey5966 4 года назад

I really love the wall and how how it just goes on and on. I like your tip about using the iPhone to look at potential compositions before getting all the gear out and then thinking I don’t like this and have to pack it all up again. Thanks Nigel

@philipsmith1465 4 года назад

Nice one really enjoyed the wall photo at the end. I got taken up there on a Landscape course some time ago and its a spot I really love.

That two trees shot (video) was amazing. It looked like the background is painted and you are standing on a artificial stage.

Well, glad to hear that I'm not the only one who is sometimes a bit late in the mornings... :-) Great image though! I hope this covid thing is over next year so it won't interfere with my travel plans to the Lake District. This is such an amazing place!

@SimonTraffordphotographer 4 года назад

Hi Nigel, recently discovered your channel and have subsequently spent many lock down hours catching up with your back catalogue and enjoying your relaxed, calm, thoughtful style. Just read your About Me and get it! After many years in the corporate rat race I am moving into full time photography over the next 6 months, having been part time for 12 years. Keep up the good work and hopefully I'll get onboard with one of your workshops in the near future.

@PatchesCody 4 года назад

Nigel, awesome video again, as usual. I have a Smartphone group on FB that I highlight your Sunday videos on because you almost always mention using your phone as part of your overall exercise in producing your location photos, but the main reason I do is because you are so inspirational and it's a real joy to share a bit of your photography experiences with my 800+ group members whom I'm always trying to inspire. Stay well during the pandemic. Smartphone Photography World on FB is my group. See you next Sunday.

@leonflack5673 4 года назад

I just love the way you put your videos together; even the ones you say are rushed, for what it's worth I think they are all great. Which were the two focusing points you chose for your final stacked image and did you just use single point focus on the 1st point then move it on the screen to the 2nd focus point and shoot ? What did you use to help you choose these two points, PhotoPills ?

@mrLebesgueintegral 4 года назад

As someone who struggles with landscape photography, and always feels underwhelmed by the images I capture, observing the process you go through is very useful. Thanks.

@christophersaul4532 4 года назад

Wonderful images as always Nigel. Have you got a new lens? I thought your 24-70 was the f4

@flick6291 4 года назад

Due to corona I havent had the possibility to do as much landscape photography because I live in the city. Im not very good at street photography, however, I use some of the rules you suggest and it has improved my street photography so much (especially in regards to light and leading lines)

@rodschweiger4195 4 года назад

Always love your videos. It wouldn't be Sunday morning without my dose of Nigel. One question: did I hear you say "handheld pano"? I thought a panorama required a tripod. Please explain.

@schmidt28117 4 года назад

Wonderful video and scenes. It was also very nice to see and hear about your parents, I did many hikes in the New England (US) mountains with my grandfather. Still treasured memories. I know you mentioned it a while back, can you repeat the name of the group or singer in the music you use? I would love to find some of their music. Chuck

NIGEL IS OUR RIGEL (VERY BRIGHT STAR IN NTHE BIG SKY )

@xpalladin 4 года назад

Loved the mistake in printing. It turned out amazing. When scouting this shot you showed what the sky looked like when stopped down. Was the sky "stopped down" when you focus stacked and you lightened the foreground or visa versa?

@pavelperina7629 3 года назад

It makes me wonder ... is there a photo from 10:48 using bottom right corner in some way? It seems it has some potential for telephoto lens. Trees against the sky, trees against the hill in the background with sky, some plant perhaps. I really like country side of British highlands.

@crowtheri 4 года назад

I think the plant in bloom is Erica Carnea, Nigel? Have you stopped the IG #ND2020 review now? Shame about the midweek vids but we look forward to your on-location shoots. Made a comment on IG re the photo - leading lines and light draws the eye down the valley - intriguing as to what lies ahead - great shot! :)

@JROwensPhotos 4 года назад

After seeing a lot of what's probably the same heather on Win Hill in the Peak District last weekend, I'm fairly sure it's bell heather, Erica cinerea, but we seem to be thinking along the same lines. ETA: Ah, I just saw what's probably the carnea, later in the video, 7:42. Definitely not cinerea. I was talking about the bits at 3:24 & 3:35, not so clearly pictured, and guessing they'd be the same in the Lake District, perhaps.

@rendyraksatama08 4 года назад

@karlthefirst8690 4 года назад

I love and appreciate Nigel’s videos so much that I haven’t had the heart to say anything. Glad someone else spoke up though. I REALLY hope no one on here knows the poor girl whose music this is. Apologies in advance if so, but man, it really does distract from the great content.
