I don't like to take too many shots of the same scene, but as lighting changes other opportunities present themselves. On this evening shoot at Blea Tarn I continue to see new opportunities as the sun sets and hopefully end the day with the best image.

Wow, great images Steve. The square crop worked a treat. The sheer beauty in those hills is stunning. Always a pleasure watching you work and the photographs you create.

Thanks Simon.

really nice shots there steve

@stuartbaines2843 Год назад

Quiet a challenge to Not repeat the Well worn Blea tarn trope 👍😂

@erichstocker8358 Год назад

I think the square crop did fit that image very nicely.

@SteveONions Год назад

It did work well Erich.

@raybeaumont7670 Год назад

Cheers Steve. I'm always happy to see a few shots including the Langdales. The last shot was my favourite but I'd be happy with any of 'em. My proper walking days are over so I'm relying on you to bring these scenes to my armchair. Please keep 'em coming!

@SteveONions Год назад

Glad you liked it Ray. Thankfully the drive round the valley road wasn’t full of people who didn’t know what to do with such narrow tracks, I’ve been caught out too many times with city drivers 😊

@MichaelZieschang Год назад

The scene on 1:07 is pretty nice with the pine tree on the right in the foreground balanced with the reflection of the little pine tree in the background, maybe a square crop.

@SteveONions Год назад

Thanks Michael 🙂

@azfactor7875 Год назад

I would be hard pressed not to feel rushed by the changing light conditions and wind up with substandard and unremarkable shots. You did a great job of quickly sizing up and judging the potential light as well as composition and getting the most out of what was available.

@SteveONions Год назад

Thanks Bob. It helped that I’ve been there a few times before and know what works.

@lensman5762 Год назад

Loved every single photograph, Steve. Magical scenery expertly captured. Noticed how quietly, you kept the D810 secret. I bought one last month to brother the D800. Brilliant camera.

@SteveONions Год назад

They are a bit of a bargain now aren’t they 🙂

@lensman5762 Год назад

@@SteveONions They are indeed. It's all this migration to the X system. I was looking for a D850, but for what I do, couldn't justify the price.

@izzyleicanut9190 Год назад

Lovely shots, organic quality . Ever thought of doing an overnighter on the hills in order to get some early sunrise shots ?

@SteveONions Год назад

I like the idea but don’t have the camping equipment 🙁

@RichB-js8ct Год назад

Very nice Steve 👍

@oldfilmguy9413 Год назад

Many beautiful shots, and I did like the close-crop mountain shot - thought it had great texture and depth. The final shot was indeed perhaps the best, wonderful colors and lines. Cheers!

@SteveONions Год назад

Thanks Robert. I didn’t expect them to come out so well but I could have done with more foliage on that last tree to give greater impact.

@danncorbit3623 Год назад

Wonderful images, and the last one was magical

Loved the images and the light at this time of day. Was suprised to see you whip out a full frame dslr this time! Cheating on your m4/3 and 35mm film cameras....

@SteveONions Год назад

Thanks Milo. I’ve got far too many cameras and they all want to get a run out now and again 😊

@robertmcglinchey3347 Год назад

Wonderful instructional video, Steve. The subject resulted in several very good photographs and one was the very best.

@SteveONions Год назад

Thanks Robert. I wasn’t convinced about the last one at the time but I do prefer it now.

@sophietucker1255 Год назад

I totally understand about those cliche shots but many times I take them anyway. Digital is nice for that but I will use a shot on film too. I know that making images for YT is a little different but I photograph mostly for my own enjoyment. That being said though it is hard to expect people to like your work of you aren’t liking your work. Please yourself first and the rest will follow, at least I hope so

@SteveONions Год назад

Thanks Sophie. Cliches work because they are often the best way of representing a scene. It is possible to avoid them but sometimes it results in a weaker image so I’d rather have both.

@Phil_f8andbethere Год назад

Some absolute corkers there Steve - good to see you shooting colour digital for a change, but I bet you were quietly wishing you could co-shoot with the Bronica and XP2 at the same time?🤣

@SteveONions Год назад

Actually I was missing the Bronica, and even colour film would have worked better methinks.

@toine1915 Год назад

Hi Steve. Another very good video, friend. I'm really only looking for your explanation of composition because I can't find that anywhere else. What I notice is that you finish faster with a composition in color than one in black and white. And being a B&W photographer I get this. Beautiful photos you have taken are really beautiful to look at. But B&W is something else for me, I have a completely different feeling about it than about color. Also nice that you use the square format. You show that this is not just for B&W. Thank you for the work you put into it as I know these videos have a lot of time and work in them. Antoine.

@SteveONions Год назад

I’m somewhat quicker with 35mm film/digital, more careful with medium format. I’ve a mind to revisit colour in 120.

@toine1915 Год назад

@@SteveONions Please don't leave b&w, my friend.

@Luudite Год назад

Is that the new Ulanzi tripod? One twist to extend or collapse all leg sections? I quite fancy one myself

@SteveONions Год назад

It’s an old Velbon 665 aluminium model sadly, cheap but effective.

@marcp.1752 Год назад

Sad to see here, you're shooting more digital than ever onto this channel before....Steve. I do prefer film. Film is like magic - photons to photos, not pixels to RAW files...have a fine weekend !

Thanks Marc, I like to shoot with different cameras from time to time but I don’t see digital replacing my film setup.

@@SteveONions I think it's already here :(. Like many things that can be created by machine and computer it will only make the hand crafted, made by man (or woman) version more desirable and valuable.
