Landscape Photography Weather Forecasting 

Wow! Wow! What a gorgeous sunset. Really enjoyed this video.

Great video epic sunset. 👌🏽👌🏽

EPIC!

Jackpot ! Awesome Will 🎉

Great video as always Will, look forward to seeing another video real soon. Great save on the beach btw !!!

Great watch, felt like I was there with you and Toby...thanks for some great tips on weather watching

Awesome video, inspiring !!👍

Awesome. Love all your videos.

Hi William, that was a fantstic insight into planning and all the elements coming together! Amazing light indeed, looking forward to seeing some of the final images when you post them. I agree, with you about not trying to immediately edit the RAW image files too soon. Waiting is a GOOD thing to do in the current age of instantaneous gratification. Cheers!

Awesome

Great video Mr! Learned a lot! Greetings from a Swedish youtuber! 🇸🇪

How lucky that you were there that night! (just kidding). What a sky- I need to get to NZ someday. Absolutely beautiful, and great advice too.

Really enjoy all your videos!

You're one of my biggest inspirations ! Great to see a video about planning that cake into fruition 🎉

Amazing light! I know it is a lot of effort putting together these videos. I just wanted to say they are inspirational and greatly appreciated!

What an amazing experience! No worries about seeing the final edits. It was cool just to see the scene evolve.

Ah the balance between experience and capture! As landscape photographers we can not loose sight of just the experience. Thanks for pointing this out and looking forward to experiencing your images going forward.

Thanks for sharing William, great stuff.

Thanks for taking the time to do this video Will, is was a fantastic lesson, learnt a lot and really enjoyed the scenery, pretty mind blowing. Understand it's hard for you to fit everything in, but I'm over hear massively appreciating it and learning! Thank you thank you! Lynette

Thanks, really useful, great insights on the forecast and your enthusiasm, and humility, is inspiring.

Thanks for sharing Will. Your video has inspired me to do things a little differently 😊

Windy is my go to as well - the fog overlay is awesome for morning photography if thats what I am aiming for. The low and high cloud indicators are great too. Great video as always William. John Pouw from neighbouring Invercargill :)

Gemstone beach and Monkey island? My wife was pulling our photos up of the same area, but definitely not amazing sunset shots as we were there early afternoon on a cloudy day. Was waiting for the final images but understand fully. Keep it up. Love watching and learning

Informative and inspiring - thanks for what you have the capacity to prep these vids & share. Spent time shooting in the Catlins leveraging a bunch of your shutter-drag & comp tips. Wish I had your steadiness, I get too much motion without the tripod... Looking forward to hearing about the project that's holding back the good stuff... Also - can I suggest you could do a vid shooting some of the Southland rolling countryside with the winter sunlight & long shadows. I have some nice marketable shots (long lens) from between Clinton & Balclutha as I drove through a couple of weeks back. Didn't have the time to explore... I think it would be a nice variation for your channel.

Awesome stuff Will! Like you I live and breath sunrise and sunset seascapes - so great to see how you plan your shoots and use weather apps and find locations. I could really relate to the anxiety about deciding on a final location and composition once there though - had this exact issue last Friday down at my local beach at sunrise as the colour changes fast but had the advantage of having scoped out some possible comps the evening before so I didn't have to hunt around in the dark - the dilemma of an eastern facing coastline!

Love your videos! I always learn something new. Thanks

Thank you for the excellent weather watching and forecasting tips Will. It doesn't matter that you didn't show the final images at this point as it leaves a bit of mystery left for our imagination. I like the intimate details shots too. Nice one

Great video as always and your enthusiasm is infectious. I am still looking at editing some images from last winter so I can understand the no rush thing going on. They do seem to look different a few months later when revisited. Enjoy the moment. Great to meet you at Tasman Glacier Lake a few nights ago. I just got my stars with the mountain tops starting to glow from the rising moon. Take care. Tracey

Totally appreciate you taking us on that afternoon sunset capture William, definitely nice to feel the moment when you capture that amazing colour. All com es down to planning. Really appreciate those little tips also whilst your just shooting away. Have a great time at your workshop. Thank you.

Top video Will, inspirational!

Pete’s sake open a window for Toby lol ❤

Amazing and as a wedding and portrait photographer looking to expand my horizons a little bit this was not only a joy to watch but I came away with several take aways. Thanks for sharing

So good, thankyou for taking us along & give Toby a hug for me ❤️🐕

14.24mins. Love it! That pure excitement of seeing what is unfolding before your eyes! Definitely made similar noises at times! 🤣 It's so special to be out when conditions fire up like that. What an epic experience William! Can't wait to see the final images when you get to them!

We are blessed to have you upload. Thank you! BTW, you were SO lucky to be at that beach at that time! Oh, and your photos are amazing! You myst have an amazing camera. (I get that from time to time, too). Jokes aside, love your channel and photography. Thanks so much for sharing.

Great work as always mate

Playing the forecast truly makes such a huge difference. Does one always win a roll of the dice? No... But, more often than not, thinking in such fashion pays off handsomely. The haze (or here, sometimes on wildfire smoke-haze days), sun angles and holes/breaks in clouds often make for incredible crepuscular rays to play with prior to setting up for a sunset. I chuckled while watching this, for it reminds me of myself while working out compositions and then playing out the light show. Great advice!

Beautiful images!!! Thank you for sharing 📷

16:50 your reaction is everything 🤘 Thank you as always for the advice, inspiration and entertainment 🙏🤘📸 Amazing video.

Keep rocking, Will! Always appreciate your honesty and humbleness to one who created it all.

Oh mate, that was fantastic. Love seeing your enthusiasm and feel very blessed that we get to share these moments with you. Look forward to seeing the images whenever the time is right for you.

Once I discovered the Windy app the strike rate of amazing sunrise and sunset colours went sky high. It's accuracy is what I love. That sky ! Wow 👌

I could feel the anxiety and excitement building and that was just watching the video. So good! It is my mission in life to get better at reading the forecast after your shared advice. What a fantastic sunset and well worth the drive down there. Thanks Will

Soul stirring stuff mate, what a stunning location you live in! How do you manage to get sharp shots though handheld like that? And you use burst mode right? Do you ever use a tripod?

Your one of my favs that I watch in photography. Thank you for taking the time to make videos.

Mate that sky! That website and app looks a good one. Haven't come across it before.

Your ending words highlight one of the reasons I’ve added some film back into my workflow. I am able to go out to shoot for the joy of it, the joy of experiencing special moments without the added pressure to produce results immediately.

Totally agree with your thoughts on not editing and sharing the images straight away. Its the journey that you take to get them in the first place is what I enjoy watching. Lots of great advice and inspiration in this video. Don't put pressure on yourself, just do it when it feels right. You should be at 130k + subscribers considering the content you are putting out.

Absolutely loved this! I don't mind not seeing the processed image, William, as what you have shared here has always been the best part, overwhelmingly the best part for me. Been subscribed forever, always like, always let the ads run... hoping it helps. Love you, man.

Enlightening and inspiring, as always. Thanks Will! ✌️

Thank you for another great video. I like your thoughts on enjoying the moment and making the best of it. I'm a retired hobbyist but landscape, wildlife and bird photography is exciting to me.

Wow!! Next time you see that coming give me a shout and I'll be down... in about ten years! LOL Beautiful conditions!!

Appreciate the time and effort that you put into making these videos for us. I'll be putting Windy into use. Fantastic light and working the scene.

Gorgeous sunset! I usually don’t look at photos upon arriving home. I hook my monitor up to the HDMI port on the camera and will cull the non-keepers right away. Question: I know the light changes sometimes more quickly than others , but do you find it tends to change quicker on sunrises than sunsets?

Thanks for all the great content Will. Hoping you can help me with a few questions which came to mind watching this. 1) Why do u elect to not use a tripod when shooting a scene like this at 1/10 @ 50mm ? 2) what was your ISO thru out the shoot 3) with such a high dynamic range in the scene do you alway shoot single frames and why not brackets ? Cheers mate

👍👍

Hahaha that video is great! I actually successfully predicted my second sunset last night with windy, but then I got overexcited with a drone and scrapped my big cam plans … kinda messed it up, normally I’d be kicking myself but just had such fun that I don’t even care! The photos look amazing! (I really want to know the secret project haha 😇😇😇 Hope the RU-vid continues, good to come along for the adventures 🙂

Thanks for the vid mate appreciate the insight and the output to put these out there, great inspiration and tips. Just wondering if you use the premium version of Windy? I was considering getting it due to the refresh rate and possibly availability of another forecast model but the free version is pretty amazing in its own right too.

Congratulations on the video and your beautiful work, how many millimeters did you use to take these photos? I'm thinking about buying a 100 x 400 for this type of photo.

Will, do you ever feel the need to use a tripod ?

The only comment I have is fantastic
