Stonehenge Sunset Photoshoot [Mike Browne Photo Biker 4] 

Another great road trip. Riding along through the English countryside is a bonus of these videos. Thank you for taking us along.

Itchy Browne! You’re an inspiration sir!

Oh thank you so much Mike, this trip showed the magical autumn colours and Stonehenge was awesome.

Just the bike ride alone was worth watching. But my god, such great tips, inspiration. Thanks Mike. Appreciate it.

This is by far my favorite of your series!

Loving this series, Mike. I’m too chicken to ride a bike on the road, so this allows me to do it vicariously. Cheers. South Wiltshire and North Dorset are beautiful.

Super video Mike. I was there eight years ago, and you bring me good memories. That bridge was super, great photo. 👌👌

Yep!!! Another stunner Mike, great stuff and thank you

I love seeing this video Mike. I really liked the video. Thanks! 🍎

Thank you. I enjoy these out-of -the-box photography videos and have been going on rides with you while on my bike trainer at home during these cold days in NYC. Thank you for sharing the "realness" of photography.

Mike, these videos of you going about on your bike are so relaxing. Keep them coming 👌

What a beautiful part of the country to live, and what inspirational videos these are. Thanks Mike. Stay Safe and Well.

Another brilliant video, I am really enjoying you riding your motorbike through the English countryside . As always very entertaining and instructive, thanks for taking us along for the ride.

Thanks another great video , I would have stopped at just about every old building you passed and never got to the stones . Love the in touch feeling the bike brings to your videos .

Enjoyed the ride today Mike - thank you! Lots of hidden gems out there and 'working the shot' as you demonstrate brings out the best. Awesome, thank you!!

Marvellous video Mike…great being on the bike with you!

Lovely to go along for the ride, looks like quite a bit of colour around in UK still. Such a pretty scene with the bridge👏

Once again, thank you Mike for a great video.

Another good video Mike and we certainly do have some lovely countryside to admire and photograph. Bike, burger and belting shots - what more can you ask for :-)

Love the bike stuff Mike, bikes n photography! All you got to do now is a bit of fishing and that will be all of my favourite things in life covered!

Hey Mike, even though motorbikes are boring . . . These videos are terrific! Keep them coming!

I've watched and learnt from your videos and inspired instruction for years. What you began with the PLD helped me a lot. These set of 'roadtrip' videos is you at your true best. Outstanding.

Hi Mike, really am loving this series of videos with you on your motorbike. Great and easy to understand instructions regarding composition and settings. Thank you.

Thanks! from the high desert, Utah, USA. Cheers!

Great video Mike, loving these to bits.

Tack!

Wonderful series of photo biker. I liked it too much. Keep it up sir 👍 Wonderful…

Love the bridge shot Mike, very well done and a great tip, thanks for sharing.

Great series Mike and great combination motorcycling and camera. Fellow motorcyclist here. Great work altogether

Love these motorbike and photography videos! You may have found a neat niche not commonly seen on RU-vid! Bravo! Being an American motorcycle rider myself, it looks a lot safer riding in the UK than here where it’s congested and nobody obeys the rules of the road.

I like the video's Mike! Being a motorcyclist and photographer myself there's a lot to be seen and learned...

Thanks again, great video!

Another lovely ride out with you. I first visited Stonehenge as a teenager with a friend who lived in Salisbury, and back then we simply parked his car by the side of the road and climbed all over the stones 😀 This series is reminding me of what a lovely part of the world we have here. It's easy to become jealous of the RU-vidrs who live oop north and have mountains but it's just as wonderful here, albeit somewhat flatter. Thanks.

💯% smashing video Mike.. can't get enough of them. Beautiful shots again.. What a beauuutiful country side! And it was really fun to see you talking to your helmet:)) Gem.

Keep the photo Biker vids coming big boy

wow.great!

Thank you for the nostalgic ride, on a great bike, through some lovely country roads. It's been 3 decades since my last bike and 5 decades since I left County Antrim, NI. I have got into photography, but still lots to learn. love the way you teach and will be checking out more of your video's. Cheers from Ron, Adelaide, Australia.

enjoying these videos very much the countryside your riding looks a great deal like the back roads my son has taken me down in pennsylvania when we visit. some of the roads there are scary but i love it anyway, lol

Ah England ❤Another inspirational ride that makes up for not being able to fly over and see it all in person. I appreciate you showing how to work with the darkening light in the sunset shots, its a struggle that I need lots more practice to get right. Looking forward to the next journey!

Mike - I really am enjoying this series of videos on your motorcycle-- Great choice of music and as always entertaining and instructive-- Keep it up and have a great holiday season

Thank you Mike for taking us along on your adventures. I love getting in the car with my 4 legged copilot and roaming back roads. As my friends say I'm prone to wondering. My Mom use to say I had one foot in the road because I was always out and about exploring. Because of you I am now creating and not taking pictures . Your videos and online courses have helped me be more creative and understand how to fight with my settings 😄 to capture the image I want. Stay safe on your adventures and hope you have a wonderful holiday season.

Hi Mike! Love this video and pleased you shared it with all of us. I can highly recommend your Masterclass in Photography! Even though I am only in week 2, it has been extremely detailed and informative. You have definitely assisted me in putting all my bits and pieces (of minimal knowledge in photography) together to bring me to a more confident point in taking photographs.

Thanks for the lovely video, Mike. I really miss driving on the wrong side of the street ;-). But all joking aside :). I love driving along the back roads through the small villages and towns. Especially in England there are so many beautiful little towns where you can find great photo motifs and also in the countryside you always have fantastic places, like the little bridge you found. I hope I can be in England again sometime, when this pandemic is over and we mainland Europeans are still allowed to travel to England. Have a great time and take care!

Another nice ride out Mike, you live in a very beautiful place there. I did visit Lymington about four years ago and got some rubbish shots, but keep promising to go back. The shot of the bridge reminded me of one I took a couple of years ago in Crayford Kent. Nice to know we have some similar taste in our shots! 😊

Verily, I say unto ye, a biker who doth not check the defilement of his lens, is like unto the man who, knowingly finding a green well, drinketh thereof. Rubbish in, rubbish out! ;-) Another great video. Don't forget to have the odd free ride!

yet another brilliant video, loved it, superb journey, wonderful scenery, great photographic tips, thank you so much for taking the time in creating such wonderful work

Another great video Mike, I do love this series. Also good to see you do your own maintenance on the bike fork seals can be a pain. I wholeheartedly recommend your channel to anyone who is learning photography particularly your earlier stuff you're a natural teacher. 👍

We did road trip from London to Stonehenge and then to bath. It was the best road trip of my life.

Another great video, loving the way you're showing off the English countryside in all it's glory. It's a bit further afield, but Lulworth Cove and Durdle Door would be an amazing addition to this series

Gotta luv a TBird

Hi Mike, I’ve lived in this area most of my life, so great to see you exploring. There’s a nice walk that takes you near Stonehenge from Larkhill and there’s also Woodhenge that’s a lot less spectacular, but still worth a visit if you want to tick off the “henges”. Also the wall you drove past at 17:29 happens to be the boundary of Sting’s house. It’s also the wall where I wrote off my first car! Keep well, maybe see you around here again sometime.

When I heard Salisbury, as a Cathedral fan, I was looking out for that majestic 404ft spire of such a beautiful cathedral. Would love to see you visit there sometime too.

Awesome again Mike off out tomorrow (12-12-21) on the triumphs with the wife and camera 👍

Great video Mike. Did you not consider bracketing for Stonehenge? Would have solved the dynamic range problem.

Brill series Mike ,keep it going ,ive noticed of late on youtube a lot of bullshit photography videos doing the rounds were the norm is to kill the photos with lightroom pre sets ,i love your approach and the way you more or less nail the beauty of the photo without the use of over excessive editing Merry Christmas Mike

Thanks!

Love seeing the English countryside and to live within driving distance of Stonehenge, wow. The closest thing I live to here in southwest Wisconsin in the USA is the mighty Mississippi River which is one of my favorite things to ride along. It is a 30 minute ride from me. I am 5 hours south of the Great Lakes also.

So I'm sat watching this and not far in I think that looks familiar, it's New Milton isn't it? I had discerened that you lived in the New Forest area from other videos. My late parents retired to New Milton, Bowland Rise off Caird Avenue and I visited numerous times. Small world innit? 😊😉

(Alan) I like these videos Mike, it's something different. They've changed the roads around since we last went to Stonehenge. I think you now have to park and get a bus (?) I suppose with the picture, you could have exposed for the stones and then used the graduated filter in LR to bring the sky down ?. Although I don't expect you wanted to complicate things ?

Thanks for the ride Mike. I’d forgotten how much more view you get on a motor bike than in a car. It’s a pity that the wide angle lens of the GoPro makes you look like you’re going faster than tootling through the lovely countryside.

Terrific video Mike combining my favourite hobbies of photography and motorcycling! Just a point, if you didn’t have a tripod handy why didn’t you place the camera on the fencepost and take 2 exposures, one for the sky and another for the foreground/stones and combine them in post?

Beautiful tree branches at 1:24 by Old Mill Car Park. :)

Thanks

Another super video and no shoops to worry about! Thanks Mike. BTW, why didn't you bracket the exposure for the Stonehenge shots and merge in post, or is that sort of thing not in the scope of this series?

Forgot spare battery, bug on camera lens for some of the ride, waxing philosophical with mic off . . . love the little finds when we go off somewhere we haven't been before.

Another great outing enjoyed it Mike would like to see the edited images did you shoot in RAW or JPEG

What? No Abbey? Downton..Abbey? Get it? #GROAN! Well, somebody had to say it! It might as well have been me!

what triumph are you riding? i used to ride a bonnie america but didnt really like it over 60mph im now back on a suzuki gsxr too powerful for me but nice bike. how old/young are you also Mike (asking for a friend)

That engine makes sweet mechanical music.

Hi motorcycling and photography really do go well together don't they? I pack my camera and go into North Yorkshire on my Firefly electric motorcycle (youtube my review) and its so much easier to park up to get a shot than being in a car. nice photos by the way!

At the little bridge was there a way to lose the more modern gate on the end?

I thoroughly enjoy all your videos. One question, how long does it take to edit your videos? I’m imagining it taking hours for say one of your biker ones.

Another approach to tackling difficult lighting conditions like at the bridge is to switch from a 14-bit image to a 32-bit image. Bracketing two or three stops under and two stops over and creating a proper photorealistic HDR image in Photoshop will produce an absolute superior capture compared to a single raw image. Shooting 32-bit images is so superior in color palette and dynamic range it's a no-brainer. The trick is to remember when you enter Photoshop it defaults 8-bit you have to change it to 32-bit mode and then blend your bracketed images with auto HDR by selecting the option Tone in Adobe camera raw. Then when you export you can export it as a TIF a JPEG or whatever you need. Avoid editing in Lightroom because Lightroom is only 16 bit. That's only two bits more than a single raw photo has.

Motor cycling , beautiful countryside, photography and a burger. Doesn’t get much better than this. Another motivational video. My gears packed and off up to the Peak District , thanks again . 👍

Wouldn't you have gotten better results with a gradient ND filter for the henge?

Hey Mike, So completely unrelated to photography, but if you could have anybody's music on your channel without worrying about copyright who would you choose?

It would be nice if you check your video lens for clarity as you are on the road picking up stuff

I'm a biker but have yet to really get to grips with doing photography from the bike - my enjoyment of riding takes over from the need to take shots. Ho hum... Something you never mention is the benefits of shooting in RAW, then using supposedly hidden data to draw out more detail in the shadows. Early shots of stonehenge where you wanted to have some detail in the stones but the sky was too bright, could've been helped with careful post-editing. You may have already covered all this, but I am relatively new to your channel (attracted by the bike inclusion).

Talking while driving (or riding) is not against the law, but it doesn't mean its a good thing. While talking you are distracted from driving, there's no question about it. Just like crossing roads with phone in hands. Today 90% of deadly car accidents happen because at least one of the two parties were distracted one way or another. Its not because we're allowed to do it that we should.

I like these kinds of videos. I have a comment, though...currently the ratio of riding:photography is about 80%:20%... is it possible to make it more like 50%:50% ...? thanks , anyway.

Watch yesterday the ancient aliens episode and it was over stonehenge.

22:39 - with a ticket you get to be 3-4 meters closer and that is it ? Think you choose wisely staying on the public part :-)

It's very stressful wathcing you drive on the wrong side of the road mate, having a hard time to enjoy the video :)

Your roads look very narrow

Sorry but this was boring, get back to 'photography' videos. 25 minutes of bike riding and 5 minutes of actual photography!

It's the first time I've seen the donation system. I didn't know prostitution was back in force! There's something very uncomfortable about it, like tipping a prostitute in a club or a go-go dancer. People are so gullible. "I like your video so I'm tipping you". Gosh money is ruling some people. Awful! I imagine it's only Americans or older generations though as its not a modern mentality!

Thanks!
