My LONG EXPOSURE PHOTOGRAPHY Technique for Water | Landscape Photography Journals E12 

FREE PHOTO EDITING VIDEO SERIES SIGNUP - www.davemorrowphotography.com/free-video-series Thanks in advance for any comments. Headed out on a trip, will check when I get home. Enjoy the week everyone, Dave

Ummm, I clicked on this video to see your long exposure, which i got. But.. to my surprise, you did one of THE best walk throughs of how you compose this kind of a shot. Let me tell you, that is not easy to do in a way that teaches a useable technique, but you did it. I find the techical aspects of photography (like long exposures) to be fairly easy. But what eludes me, what is the hardest to learn for me, is composition. I've watched hours and hours of composition this and thats. And i learned more about composition and tricks from a small section of your long exposure video, than i have in the others combined! Makes me wonder what other gems exist buried in your videos like this. I really like your style. Similar education and career backgrounds, and how we both stride to have efficient processes that become muscle memory freeing us for other more important tasks (like composition) is likely the reason. But I'm really thankful for the time you've taken to not only film all this, but to methodically break things down and share the knowledge to help us gain skills and build our own repeatable process that leads to taking better photographs. Thank you so much. Have a greay day!

Dave, it is SO nice to get tips from someone who walks the walk...... and makes me SEE again. I have no issue trying to emulate someone who does the footwork to show me ways I can up my game. Thanks for sharing your knowledge AND the great scenery!!!

You really know your D810 to its limits. A lot to learn just watching your videos. Great job.

I just love your passion for photography and your landscape - and really appreciate all the information and tips that your provide. Thanks so much for sharing.

Another great video. Can't thank you enough. It beats reading.

Thanks Dave. Your photography and techniques are excellent and truly awesome. Even after 50+ years of photography I can still learn ~ especially from such a good teacher, thanks for sharing. Cheers Paul.

I like even more the serenity that you exude by placing yourself within the very long exposures, days long, of your landscapes. This is an understated mission that resonates with me; and I think brings life these videos. I enjoyed our hike.

Thanks for sharing not only your adventures but also your techniques.

Superb videos Dave!Have helped me so much.

I enjoy your adventures and learn something from each one. Thanks Dave!

Enjoy your but it's way above my level learnt alot..thank you.

Your approach, consistency and passion are unmatched....I'm really enjoying watching you're videos!

very nice my friend. such a lovely place. i want to go there now!!! nice video. keep it up!

Thank you for being so generous with sharing your knowledge; I use your camera flow all the time now and it really frees me up to think about the composition more.

Such a beautiful location and you didn´t see and feel it´s magic. I wished i was there.

Thanks Dave for all the tips you share. I have a ways to go with my shooting/editing. I look at it as a new day and just keep going forward.

Love this one too! So much to see and learn- thanks for sharing your knowledge and your adventures!

Thank you for being so generous with sharing your knowledge with us Dave

Thanks Dave. As always very useful information. Laid up here after a foot op and can't wait to get out in the bush again, and to try some of the techniques you have taught here. Keep well, keep safe.

Thanks, Dave! You are an artist who uses a camera very creatively to manifest your vision. Kudos!

Just found your RU-vid channel/tutorials - great stuff young man. I'm getting composition ok but working on improving my settings BEFORE I get into Lightroom ( at which I'm a newbie ) - anyways, thank you for the considerable time & effort you go to to bring the enjoyment of being "out there".

Awesome!

Love the explanations and the way that you easely point exactly what we need to look with your finger! 👍🏻

Enjoying the detail you go through in each of your videos. Thanks.

Thanks for all your hard work making these videos. And thanks for sharing your wealth of knowledge. Wish you all the best!

Great vlog, really interesting looking forward to next weeks, totally changed my way of taking photos since i signed up, cant belive i never used back button focus before

Another excellent vlog. Love your method of teaching and I have learnt so much. You have a very blessed life which I think many of us can only dream of doing, never give up and never forget your talent and your amazing gifts. Now I'm off to my office job :-(

Best tutorials hands down, keep recommending this channel to fellow photographers.

Mr. Morrow i love your photos so much!Actually,you remind me of oldschool photographers!You could easily be part of the National Geographic!Wish you the best and continue what you do best!!!

Υou have the talent to teach my friend. thanks.

Another great video. Looking forward to part two of this video.

I really liked that first composition with the series of rocks leading out, when you were moving the camera up and down.

Greeat video, Dave!! It's exciting how many details you have to consider and you explain so clearly. So it would be great to have a Question/answer style video to take more advantage of your experience. Thanks and keep doing this good job.

Thanks for another great video Dave. Again, from this video, I have learnt some new tips and techniques to incorporate into my shoots.

Man, your stuff is so awesome!!! I'm learning so much from your creative process, skills, planning and overall life approach!! Massive kudos & thanks for what are you doing. That's so good!! 🙌. And l'm not even trying to describe beauty of the nature, your mind & photo tools are 'conveying' to us! That's pure, stunning beauty!! Thank you so much & keep up the excellent work!👏

Can't wait for more, I have learned so much in a short time with your videos. Keep up the good work.

Interesting idea. I never thought to take multiple photos of moving water to blend together later.

Another interesting vlog. I will have to try the multi-shutter speed technique next time. Thanks Dave.

very good videos, thanks

Really good vid mate. It’s a great technique if you have the time to experiment. I get stuck using my “go to” shutter speeds if I don’t have time to slow down and experiment. Which is a shame. Less rushing needed 😊👍🏻

Hi Dave, I just came across some of your RU-vid tutorials by accident but have to say I'm very impressed with your knowledge & skill with regards to landscape photography. I have signed in to your web page and am really learning a lot from you. I'm not really a landscape photographer myself however by just watching what you do makes me feel that I might have a go sometime soon by following all your good tips. Keep up the excellent work that you do. Regards Jim.

Thank you.

very good Info. looks like a overcast day ............

I am so happy I found your youtube channel and website. I am a big fan already. Thanks for all the good job!!

Wow! Some pretty advanced stuff here!

You are doing some Great work and I appreciate it very much!

Another great video, thanks for the tips on long exposure photos

Thank! Dave. I always remember at RU-vid.😍😍👌 Dave.

Brilliant. Thank you Dave.

Really good information, thank you for sharing!

Great Vlog, Dave.

Glad I found your channel. Very inspiring 👍👍

Brilliant as usual. Thanks

Great video again Dave. Thanks

Dave, your commitment to great landscape photography is inspiring :)

great instructional - thanks.

Cool video very nice

Love your videos, man. Curious to see how you blend areas of the water together and keep continuity between the currents 🌊

Hey Dave super vlog and so enlightening. I love water and living in Scotland there are numerous opportunities for river shots. I have some great shots but feel they just lack something and on watching your video these shots came to mind and i now realise what i should have been doing. I have also recently started using your hyperfocal focusing technique and i now shoot with confidence knowing tack sharp images from front to back is guaranteed. Thanks for the inspiration mate and keep up the good work.

Fantastic information and detail and presentation as usual. keep em coming Dave

Hi! very interesting video (as usually) showing the way to come back home with the best shots, making the post processing much easier. I long for the next ones! Thanks a lot for sharing with us, my hat down for that!

thanks for the video and PDFs.

Another great video Dave. Wish I had seen this before my trip to the Smoky Mountains last year. Now I've got to find some moving streams here in the flatlands of Florida so I can try this.

Great video. Thanks for sharing your technique, it has certainly made me think about my own technique and what I need to do to improve my photography 👍👍👍👍

I am beginning to gather my backpacking gear for my own backwoods adventures here in Idaho. Dave, I couldn't help noticing the sign at the beginning of the video talking about the 4-legged critters to watch out for. What do you take along with you to help in the event you cross paths with a bear or other animal?

I've learned a lot from these videos. Thanks!!

Great channel, instantly subbed.

Great technique thanks for sharing

Great video Dave! Very informative as always! Could you make in the future a video with your technique in Astrophotography and suggest your light panels (if you use). Keep inspiring us!!

Very good info, well done Dave

Awesome video, will share Channel and website with our club!

Hi Dave, I really enjoy watching your videos and find them very insightful. Keep up the great work! Cheers, Robert

Wonderful information!!!

Another good one Dave and perfect timing. I was just planning a day trip to shoot some falls, i'm going to give this a try! thx

I enjoy your composition techniques Dave, straight forward, relatively easy to understand as you visually show and explain it with care... The (STR) technique using the histogram, but avoiding the "blinkies" is of tremendous value knowing in advance what you will be doing in post processing to bring the highlights back down and the beauty of this technique is the shadow areas are better illuminated before going into post. I have only managed to catch your most recent videos and my thinking is you don't use much in the way of CPL's, graduated filters, super stoppers, etc? Thanks much for sharing your experiences on the trail with & without the camera... Bill Farr, aka, Bill on the Hill... :-)

Tuesday night is now a must see night, as you are like the photographer's sen-sei. So much to learn but learning so much from following your videos each week. Went out last week along my local river for the purpose of trying to nail the sharp image using back button focus. Guess I will be back out trying out the techniques youve shared in this week's video. Do you find you need to make manual focus adjustments a lot after using the the back focus technique or is it certain conditions require it more than others. As always Dave....great learning from you

Please share where this was shot... place is stunning !

Super teaching Vlog, I love the way you describe the process of taking the image, I use Nikon so the camera setting is similar to mine , I have an older camera D300s but its a good camera for my needs, keep them coming...martin ( in the UK )

Top video Dave, just subscribed !

Hi Dave, I find your videos so helpful and informative.They are well paced and the structure BB is excellent. I only joined the channel a few weeks ago. Just signed up for newsletter. Thanks for producing all this content for a newbie to landscape photography.👍. Mike

Thanks, so much Dave...

Have you had trouble with blending exposures after changing apertures between shots? The 14-24 is supposedly prone to focus shift when you change aperture.

I Love the look of your country, stunning ....

love all your video, Dave...what kind of ND filter are you using and what's your recommandation?

Beautiful....great stuff, Dave...if only there was a parking lot next to that stream...I mean...I have a D810 and a 14-24...ugh...I need to become a bon vivant...Ken Kesey with the Nikon Trilogy

Excellent tutorial videos What is the reason to use the Aperture mode for the shots instead of the Normal mode? ... Thanks for sharing your videos and knowledge

You are the best photography instructor on you tube. Keep up the good work.

Fantastic info. I'm subscribing.

Love your work and videos. Its an amazing journey you are on and to share all is this is so appreciative. I was just wondering if you use filters much for your long expposure water?

Couldn't help noticing the sign at the beginning of the video talking about the 4-legged critters to watch out for. What do you take along with you to help in the event you cross paths with a bear or other animal?

Man this reminds me the Salomon River upstate NY . great stuff but I wouldn't stay overnight like this due to my biggest fear... The bears just freaking me out

Hi Dave. Thank you so much for all these tutorials, they're greatly appreciated. I have a question regarding the hyperfocal distance. Why would you need to focus in different areas if the hyperfocal is correct and the image is sharp from the 1st shot? Thank you.

Hi Dave just found you on RU-vid. Watched a few vids so far and thought they were great. I wanted to see how you blended the shots from the river video I just watched, where can I view it please. Best Wishes, Gary aged 72 from Wales in the UK. Love waterfalls and use the Nikon D810.

Hey Dave.. great video again! Are u ever using nd filters?

Where in Washington was this shot? The forests and rivers of the Pacific Northwest are amazing.

Dave, Thanks for showing the photo :) so satisfying, Can't wait to see your edit, I may have missed it but I didn't hear where you camped?

What is composition? What do you mean by that?

Thanks

Another great video. Will you make, or have you made a video on why you shoot in Aperture priority a lot, rather than Manual?
