Excellent! Glad I asked the question. Lots of great advice and examples. Love the drone shot!! Now to practice....

@NigelDanson 4 года назад

Thanks Andy!

@MadsPeterIversen 4 года назад

This is such a valuable video for anyone who wanna add that extra spice to their photos! Thanks for the kind words, Nigel and I'm looking so much forward to Antarctica!

@NigelDanson 4 года назад

Such an epic image! Thanks Mads

@mikskinner6431 4 года назад

That shot of the lillies - just phenomenal. And perfect.

@christheswiss390 4 года назад

I love your ideas, your attention to detail, your concise explanations and understandable pronunciation, your voice, the general tone as well as your photographic knowledge and your well structured and comprehensive reviews. I'm sure your a great instructor. Now if I can only scrape that cash for Antarctica together...

@LouisPrudhomme 4 года назад

10:45 What an absolute beauty of a shot... 🙌🙌🙌

@mrsusan893 4 года назад

Also I think being highly skilled in post processing in addition to all of the points you made really separates the pack. I've seen countless photos that have all the key ingredients such as amazing light and composition at stunning locations with top notch cameras, but it's the post processing that falls short.

@MightyMushroomMax 4 года назад

You are absolutely right. Exspeacislly the photo of Faroer Island from Mads is a timeblended image out of 8 seperate images. You do not do this after A LOT of post processing exercise.

@stephenreed7769 4 года назад

Nigel, how about 'It really doesn''t get better than this'? I'm pretty sure you've said that in videos 👍😊

@GunnarDresler 4 года назад

I guess it is good to build your composition for the time you have when the scene does not really pop, the extra bit "greatness" is often up to being at the right place in the right time (when we talk about light or let's say animals swimming by) ^^

@lindasmith2471 4 года назад

Thank you for another great video. I can’t agree with you any more that “if you like the photo matters the most”. Learning a lot from you. I am expecting your videos every Sundays.

@christopherdean5323 4 года назад

That drone pic isn’t great, it’s epic! The trip to Antartica is on my bucket list.

@proach3 4 года назад

This is one of your best vlogs yet! Thank you. Love Mark Littlejohn’s work and Mads is a photo genius! You keep great company

@bradleyzimmerman4184 4 года назад

When that image transforms from just another pictures into extraordinary photograph that evokes emotion out of the viewer, it is a very special moment indeed. That moment in time when it all comes together so perfectly is what we photographers live for. When it has happened for me , so many times I pause and look around. Sadly, I am usually all alone viewing something magnificent and feel sorry for everybody who can't share in the experience. That is what photographers do so others can see through your eyes, see your vision of the world and how beautiful and magnificent this planet really is. When you go to Antarctica, keep a look out for aliens and their crafts. How phenomenal would a gorgeous landscape photo be if an alien spacecraft were in it? Definitely a portfolio booster to say the least! ;)

@richardbyrne8061 4 года назад

Love that Nigel. Always get me excited to head out with the camera!

@antonoat 4 года назад

"It rarely gets better than this" or "It can't get better than this" Apparently James is happy to hire himself out to appear in peoples photographs, for a modest fee, lol. Great video Nigel, I'm glad you appreciate simplicity in an image, not everyone gets it! I do think you and James Popsys are a great combination, note to self, lottery tickets.

@adstoop7885 4 года назад

And again Nigel a great explanation regarding the explanation about the photos. Certainly there were pictures with a large WOW factor.

@Kamuigod2001 4 года назад

I love how you say "photos"

@janm2473 4 года назад

So beautiful...... the photographs you used to illustrate.... What a lucky group of people who will go with you, James and Mads. Thank you, Nigel, for giving us followers so much to think about.

@roberthennessey128 4 года назад

That is a wow picture, fantastic ...the lighthouse, mountains,color, depth....awesome Nigel! Your printer is amazing!

@melissafaria5386 Год назад

Have my first landscape client request this weekend and these tips will be so helpful...now I will know what to look for!

@stevejarvis186 4 года назад

It looks as though an incredible locaction is one of the most importent elements that you need. Brilliant, brilliant photographs. Thhanks for sharing.

@geoffscott5066 4 года назад

what a stunning pano image Nigel. Definitely an image to display proudly on your wall. Congats!

@adamturner7040 4 года назад

Wow some fantastic images there Nigel, another great video, now feeling inspired on this stormy day in the UK.

@TheMoodyPhotographer 4 года назад

Dear James, I can give tripod lessons 😌😄 The photo @5:30 changed in amazing way, the last 1 with the swan is fantastic.

@SimonGodfrey 4 года назад

Another great video Nigel and lots to be thoughtful about. I'm looking forward to your video on split toning as I feel there's a lot in post-processing that is sometimes required for a great image.

@RickBebbington 4 года назад

Some amazing advice in this as ever, great work Nigel. That print looks awesome.

Such a great explanations and great samples to show intangibles things !👌

@Glasshousebc 4 года назад

Really enjoyed this, Nigel. Thank you Steve.

@Petesmotoadventure 4 года назад

Step one, go outside. 2 practice. Step 3 don’t get discouraged that you aren’t getting epic Nigel photos. Step 4 continue your journey. It takes time and practice. I have found I take far fewer pictures now than in the past as my skills develop. Nigels master class is very helpful.

@wildwisdomjourneys7221 4 года назад

Fabulous intro, Nigel! Thanks for all the beautiful visual distinctions of photos going from good to great. Really helpful given that I’m closer to the novice end of the photography spectrum. Kudos on your Antartica workshop, Sylvia

@andyjsmith1981 4 года назад

Another absolutely brilliant video, I am new to photography and your videos have helped me so much! Thanks Nigel and keep them coming!

@benjaminarellanogaete711 3 года назад

so much quality put into this video

@gabewebyt 4 года назад

Love this one, one of my favorite videos of yours. I've been thinking a bit about this recently with some images that I can't decide if I love or just really like (tip: if you're not sure that you love it, you probably only really like it), and I think you've hit the nail on the head.

@stevechilvers1322 4 года назад

Another great video Nigel. Many helpful tips on how to elevate your photography. Keep up the good work.

@wendynewing8834 4 года назад

This is so inspirational and informative. Thank you so much to you and all the photographers featured. What an amazing print at the end! I had no idea you could make an 8 shot pano stitch from a drone. That technique could be a whole video on its own.

@DennisNazarenko 4 года назад

Really appreciated your insight on this. Thanks.

@dfinlay587 4 года назад

Thanks Nigel! I sometimes feel like I am trying to get from meh to "OK, I won't delete the raw file". ;-) Good to Great... great video.

@burrdaddy 4 года назад

Wonderful video, Nigel. I think it's great that you gave a shoutout to Morten's Ellesmere Island series - it is remarkable. People, go see it. Morten, like Nigel, is very positive and passionate about his work.

@ahmedawad563 4 года назад

Great video Nigel, and that pano looks superb in print 👏👏

@jamesgerboc 4 года назад

Excellent topic Nigel! I think emotion is what makes an image great. I dont 'believe great" is definable in words. It just appeals to something inside you that you cant explain. There are great images that lack one, or possibly even all, of your four characteristics. But they transcend the normal, the traditional, the usual and tug at your soul in a way that makes you want to stare, but is based on a style that is timeless.

@phillipP8848 4 года назад

This video is verging on great. Well done.

@ianbarnes1406 4 года назад

I've just decided to get back into photography after a few years of not doing much and I've been binge-watching photography videos on YT lately. I came across you a couple of weeks ago and have watched a ton of your videos. These have led me to watch a number of other YT channels, most of which are informative and entertaining, but I have to say that your best images, the ones you invariably show at the end of your blog, just have a certain 'something' that the photos from these other channels don't.

@noreenoshea2883 4 года назад

Some amazing shots there! Thanks.

@brianharradine8130 4 года назад

I done a trip to Antarctica a few years back with Aurora, such a surreal feeling when you get there you'll love it

Antarctica trip sounds amazing....just need to save up!

@tylercollinsphoto 4 года назад

Great video as always Nigel! I was in Iceland same time, the weather was exceptionally good, 6 days of blue skies, aurora 4 nights out of 7 - just a brilliant week for my group! I did manage to push my last battery to the last day haha!

@mwoodwa2 4 года назад

Very cool print this week! It looks stunning! Also very jealous of the Antarctic trip, been on my bucket list forever. Looking forward to seeing some photos from it! You should come out my way for a trip one day, PEI or Newfoundland. You can even stop in for some Yorkshire tea and Hendersons relish.

@bigbrownmab189 4 года назад

The glow of light in that photo you printed is amazing!!

@NigelDanson 4 года назад

Yeah - it seems to make it look 3D

@MarkSiegemund 4 года назад

Great Great motivation Nigel!

@overlandphotography 4 года назад

Great vid Nigel.... thanks mate

@martincutrone5816 4 года назад

Great video! Clearly illustrated the differences between good and great. I agree that the photographer must think his photo is great, first. When he or she feels that way it colors how we approach editing and presenting the image. Between this video, and your video on editing with a painterly approach, you've presented wonderful techniques. You've made my work better in the last month!

@kevindickinson3600 4 года назад

Great video Nigel! I think to get some of the tones, mood, and emotion to create a great photo- it comes down to this...you've got to have a processing style that is unique or you process each specific photo to enhance the mood that is there....so much comes down to post processing when trying to go from good to great. This is an excellent topic and a very important one for those that can't seem to get over the hump. Everyone must eventually come to the understanding that if photography is an art form...then your photos must have mood, emotion, and style...which in a lot of cases is all set up with effective post processing. You've got to live with a photo for awhile and understand it, to determine what it needs. And this is what artists do when creating a piece.

@RM831BC4E4 2 года назад

Another outstanding Vlog Nigel :-)

@rudolfharris2378 4 года назад

River Brathay, family favourite walking to Elterwater from Skelwith Bridge. My son loves to run it. So many great spots to get some nice shots along there. Loved yours.

@Matt__just_a_guy 3 года назад

@paololarocca7684 4 года назад

such an inspiring video, thanks!

@timscott8124 4 года назад

Great stuff Nigel, agree with your use of Verity's image as an example of a great image, it blew me away when I saw it on twitter!!

@richlovin2173 3 года назад

Your image from the drone is outstanding.

@garypentecost833 4 года назад

That print 😯🙌🏻

@bradzaruba9686 4 года назад

Great video Nigel and for pure emotion take the time to watch Morton Hilmer's effort to capture the image of the wolf.

@helenagustavsson5633 4 года назад

Thanks! So good!

@robertstephens1868 4 года назад

Thanks, Nigel. I found your presentation quite captivating.

@NigelDanson 4 года назад

Thanks Robert - appreciate that

@CookedLight 4 года назад

Superb. I think you said the thing that elevates to great, but without noticing...it is “unique”. You have captured a moment in time that is not likely to happen again - where all the good elements come together in one fleeting event, and you were there to record it for history. I’m off to by a lottery ticket so I can go on the Antarctica voyage 👍🏻

@hibaazem5559 4 года назад

@takaharu 4 года назад

Really good tips - thank you! Personal preference definitely makes a notable difference. I personally preferred Nigel's photo to Mads' (sp? Mass?) as I felt that the sunlight over-powered the picture. The trip to Antarctica is pretty appealing too, particularly as my wife's a big fan of penguins as well.

@JeromeLaignel 4 года назад

very nice video and indeed great photos! Took my camera right away after watching it and went out to shoot 🤗

@1spitfirepilot 4 года назад

That was great. Still working on promoting some images from good to great....one day!

@ellyelzinga01 4 года назад

So basically we need to make sure that we always have a swan in our photobag so that we can add it to a scene to make it extra special? 😂 No honestly, great video once again! Also love the wolf photo from Morten Hilmer, I've seen the video last week and it was so special.. And the print you've got there is amazing! Wish I could go to the Antarctica workshop, but sadly I cannot afford it.. If you see arctic foxes there, please take a picture of them for me, they are so cute.. 😍 I bet it will be an amazing trip!
