What did you think of the 4K - an improvement or not worth it? 👍🏼

@tom.m.mancini 3 года назад

Great 👍

@joyofthemomentphotography2621 3 года назад

I watch on my mobile, so didn’t notice any difference, sorry 😳

@nblt2147 3 года назад

An improvement for sure! 4k in 2020 is a must do 😉

@2DogAle 3 года назад

Watched it on my laptop and it looked really great although I personally don't care about 4K, 1080... what ever. The content of the vlog is what I like the most here.

@alejandro_mery 3 года назад

4k might feel like too much, but 1080p doesn't look crispy even on small screens

@josiahtm866 3 года назад

Nigel: shows an image Me: Huh.. that looks nice Nigel: So as you can see this one doesn't really work Me: This photo just doesn't work does it?

@BrunoChalifour 3 года назад

I guess we are referring to the same image (see above), one I do think works! ;o) ...at least for me. It is also more difficult to take because there is no clear easy cookie-cutter recipe to fall back on-whereas object in the foreground and mountains in the background has become sickeningly common among non-creative landscape photographers (as is the colored gradient filter (pink or orange) for the sky!

@TheNikonphotog 3 года назад

So many videos are “talking heads” and ineffective educationally. Your use of explanations/concepts PLUS actual examples is quite effective. More work for you, but a great more learning for us watching. Thanks.

@MadsPeterIversen 3 года назад

So many good photos! I'm actually making a similar video for Tuesday, however, focusing on when the telephoto was the better choice over my wide-angle. Btw those Golden Gate photos were beautiful. I obviously like the zoomed in versions for the same reason you said, however, the 26mm version is actually really lovely too. The simplicity and toning makes it quite nice although the balance is a bit off :)

@NigelDanson 3 года назад

thanks Mads

@stuartbanks46 3 года назад

I would love to see you both on a trip together :)

@glennmitchell6696 3 года назад

I have shifted to using telephoto zooms for landscapes a lot. I like the telephoto compression for the details it provides. I combine them into panoramas with many shots. When I was in Bryce Canyon NP back in Feb., I ended up with breathtaking panoramas with 100-200 shots. I wanted maximum details from the snow on the hoodoos and I wanted them up close in my photos. So I shot at 100mm.

@dirt_road_dana 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this content! I feel really inspired to put more thought in to my composition as I grow in my landscape shots!

@YOJIMMIE 3 года назад

Always appreciate the detail and thought you put into every video! Alot of of effort!!!

Amazing content, Nigel. Thank you for this one as always.

@domhaughton6809 3 года назад

Another superb and really helpful video. I've learned so much watching you Nigel. Really appreciate the effort you put into this channel.

@ksnmurthy4476 2 года назад

Amazing and such a fantastic visual tutorial side by side with explanation. Thanks Nigel. 👍

@thephotoyak 2 года назад

I sometimes take my 300mm prime, on my crop body 480mm FF equivalent. You can really find some cool and unique compositions. Especially in "big" country. The other advantage of long telephoto shots is uniqueness. You're not getting the same old image that has been shot thousands of times before.

@amaan1169 2 года назад

agreed 💯

@kapilgautam7244 3 года назад

Thanks Nigel for another master class.

This is the most comprehensive lens guide I've seen on RU-vid. Great content Nigel, I love it when you lean on the educational side.

@mattjpnw 3 года назад

Really enjoyed hearing about the statistics of how many portfolio shots you got at each focal length. Great video!

@nrice3623 3 года назад

@anthonyplancherel8274 3 года назад

Fabulous video...all videos where you have explained things, be it exposure, dof, colour, composition, or this, it is always sooo much clearer than other videos/sites. Shows that your presentation of the concept is really well thought out beforehand and really well delivered! Top notch Nigel! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

@ThomasParis 3 года назад

Regarding UWA, I went on a landscape photography workshop quite a few years ago and the teacher told us if we're going to shoot with an UWA lens, we should be close enough we could touch the foreground. Not a rule, of course, but I do think it's a good way to remember UWA lenses tend to work better with very close subjects.

@BrunoChalifour 3 года назад

And the ones for which you need scale, proportions, and vertical/horizontal lines to be distorted. ;o) Let us not forget some of the shortcomings of such lenses.

@Kaisolostudio 3 года назад

It’s awesome that you’ve actively used your old 70-200 for that long 👏🏽 goals right there!

Thanks for the explanation of all the different focal lengths and their strengths. Really makes me want to try them all out, hope to get back to travelling soon when these weird times in 2020 and 2021 are finally over.

@jean-marcducommun8185 3 года назад

As far as I can see you'r the best in terms of explaining landscape photography. Excellent videos in every aspect and a real pleasure to watch because you concentrate on the content and not on your person. Thank you so much for sharing your valuable knowledge!

Fabulous video Nigel. I was just pondering what I need from a workshop that I going on next weekend in the Canadian Rockies and choice of focal length was one of them, so the timing is impeccable. Thanks again.

A very helpful video Nigel, thank you

@W4lt1nh076 3 года назад

Thanks for this vid Nigel. I really liked that you showed the same images across multiple focal lengths to get a feel for what works best. I recently invested got hold of the Canon 24-105 as a single lens to cover a lot, this vid will really, really help now :-)

Hello Nigel - first - I LOVE that you're doing 4K - please keep it up. I've recently just upgraded to a 4K color-calibrated monitor in hopes that I can better discern the subtle differences in images and video, and so I appreciate it. I also want to say that I really enjoy your content. You're a fantastic photographer and your explanation of subjects like this is fantastic. Keep it up!

@Andrewp1949 3 года назад

Many thanks again Nigel for some very helpful tips on how to concentrate on the best focal length which has inspired me to think about taking several shots of the same scene rather than just think that I have got it right at first go!

@matglenday5428 2 года назад

Brilliant explanation of different lens and the focal range, I'm now going to try use my 70-200mm more often than my 16-35mm to get more compositions when there isn't much of a foreground in the shots. Thank you for this video amongst many of the others I've been binge watching this afternoon. I seriously wish I had come across your stuff earlier!!

@waelben2000 Год назад

@calneitz3681 Год назад

Thank you Nigel for these videos . I've just recently purchased a entry grade canon and really found your explanations on the different aspects of photograghy very easy to get a basic guide to start taking my camera off the auto. and most important is the compositional aspects. I am a painter and find myself using 3+ different pictures too make my painting compositions and now being able to get my own pictures to make these paintings instead of using other artists photos is going to be great. Thank you again.

@foilpainterfantasyartist1711 3 года назад

Thanks to RU-vid, I can learn from other photographers from around the world. Thanks for another great video about different focal lengths.

@peterjulianphotos4659 3 года назад

Nigel it's always so good to see the passion you inject into your photography. Whenever I watch your video's 1) I have subject envy (but realise that I've also got great locations), 2) I'm impressesed with how you're able maintain the enthusiasm regardless of whats going on around you. PS Stocksness and the Sea Stacks always make me want to jump on a plane..... Till next time, bye for now.

@geraldclarke8868 3 года назад

Thank you ND for a thought provoking video, going to see images differently after your comments. Love the heather colour recently with your silver birches.
