Great tutorial, simple and to the point. Great locations, lovely calm delivery of advice - great voice. Thank you

@onions1183 6 месяцев назад

This bloke is 'top notch'. A very mellow, sensible explanation. Thank you indeed😊.

Amazing tutorial!!! Given fact that this video is almost a decade old..its still perfectly relevant to the current cameras.

@phillip4400 9 лет назад

the best long exposure teaching video on the web! By far

@CornishMotorcycleDiaries 8 лет назад

I'm inspired because as a Cornish Photographer myself I would not tend to go out under those (all too common) grey and misty conditions, but I can see that it is still possible to deliver stunning images even then..

@scotie690 10 лет назад

Your videos are so evocative! Thanks for sharing and inspiring our craft, no matter if you're a professional or the most humble amateur. Long exposures simple changed the way I see the landscapes and help so much to give a dreamy "mood" to it.

@JDPhotography7 9 лет назад

Excellent video showing the differences between the Big and Little Stopper as well as the techniques to use them in order to get the proper exposure.

@britainthroughmylens 8 лет назад

I'm just embarking on this type of photography. This was a great video with some very useful advice, particularly the point about covering the viewfinder - had no idea about that one and you've probably saved me a lot of wasted time and frustration! For anyone who is unaware, there are a number of Apps for iPhone/iPad which will do the revised exposure calculations for you, some of which include a timer for your manual Bulb setting use. They're free or very low cost. Many thanks for a quality and informative video.

I have just purchased the Big Stopper and this video is perfect as a learning tool. Many thanks

@garym3407 Год назад

Great tutorial! I have been thinking about getting a big stopper for a while now and after watching your video I am impressed and I think it's a must have addition to my camera bag and I can't wait to get out onto the sea front in Blackpool where I live to practice using your techniques. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your work it is much appreciated.

@pauldavis4471 10 лет назад

Awesome and so simple. love the dramatic effect created not only with the big stoppers but the time you did the shoots. overcast dark and sinister looking. love that part of England and this video has given me the drive to go back down and do something similar many thanks brilliant

@johngunning2123 5 лет назад

Brilliant! Talk about inspirational!

@geraberl 10 лет назад

Great vid, but neglected to mention that when shooting LE, best to shoot in mirror-up mode to offset any potential camera vibration when releasing the shutter. Also taking the camera strap off is advisable to stop it flapping around the camera in the wind causing potential vibration too

@Janet_Airlines802 6 лет назад

Back button focus will help with not running into problems with the focus searching after putting big stopper on.

@ratt57 3 года назад

Absolutely beautiful photos. What is the advantage to buying these square filters as opposed to just buying them as a regular round filters?

@vandedn 10 лет назад

very interesting video. A lot of tips for beginners like me.

@prashantnz 4 года назад

Thank you.

@CurvedSlightly 7 лет назад

Awesome photography, so simple yet very effective. I actually preferred the shot of the shore using the little stopper, just a little texture helps. Is there much use of the little stopper? Apart from using in windy conditions?

@pchanhk 9 лет назад

@nightbreakerromanov5683 7 лет назад

@stevepegleg 8 лет назад

just watched your vid, it was simple and easy to understand, do u most edit to B&W cos it gives more drama. your photos are outstanding. i am trying to learn to use ND filters and love your teaching thank you very much

@fredpruitt3479 10 лет назад

Very informative, thanks.

@danielbodurian9612 8 лет назад

I like to focus 1/3 of the way in at F11. I also shut my Optical Stabilization off while on the tripod. A great app for this timing is called ND timer.

@quintoflyer 9 лет назад

amazing difference with the filters

@charlywedl5544 Год назад

What value do I actually use as a guide when I use a SW #8 yellow, for example, how do I know how many longer stops I have to expose with this filter?

@telemaq76 9 лет назад

@otchacallit 9 лет назад

if you use live view with the big stopper on you can still focus and frame your shot.

@martinhainsworth8202 10 лет назад

OK I've asked loads of pro photographers this and no-one can answer so hopefully you can! Why do you never see people using your 'bellows hood'. It's accepted practice that most people will not shoot without a lens hood on so why just use a filter holder? I've got one and use it all the time. It's not that expensive in the grand scheme of things and gives great control over light and lens flare. Top system btw, looking forward to using my little and big stopper in the Highlands of Scotland in a few weeks :)

Thanks for the excellent tutorial.i have both little and big stopper but did'nt know i need grads also.what is the best grads for starting out in landscape?

@angel300400 10 лет назад

Thank you for the great video tutorial. I purchased Big & little Stopper, Foundation Kit, and Graduate ND filter set. Can't wait to try them this Summer. I was wondering if you can share the locations where this video was taken place, especially, at 7:40 ? Thanks!!

@ratephi 10 лет назад

very nice video and amazing location! where was this shot? guess it's Scotland?

@aiquelindo 9 лет назад

the filters do not "increase the shutter speed". It's the other way around, they make the exposure longer by slowing down the shutter speed, in other words they decrease the shutter speed. I don't know why so many photographers make this mistake but I have heard it before many times.

@SAI12345able 9 лет назад

great vid I learned a lot thank you

@Perk.Eo.1 8 лет назад

what kind of tripod can you recommend for taking minutes long exposures on the beach with a bit of wind?

@vincentjerarddelarosa1778 8 лет назад

a very sturdy tripod and a ballhead is the best.

@spookysandwich1355 9 лет назад

hi there could you tell me what F number your using for these shots? thanks stunning photos btw

@DaiBach99 10 лет назад

Great video, could you tell us which intervalometer Jonathan used here?

@williamconnell6541 3 года назад

I have both these filters, my suggestion is to save your money on the six stop because of the strong blue colour cast even with PS/ LR 2021 it is very hard to remove and doesn't always work.The 10 stop is ok.

@marouaneokba6339 8 лет назад

helpful,l great work.... I love it

@davejones4740 9 лет назад

To check how many stops of light this really stops could I: Set the iso to say 2000 meter the scene with out filter in place. Next place filter into holder, this should now give me a new exposure reading. Is this correct.

@Martyn0001 2 года назад

There was a gap at the top of your 10 stop filter!

@thanosmanolis7783 5 лет назад

@jeremyrundle5686 9 лет назад

MOST interesting thank you

@CristiNeagu 8 лет назад

Most camera straps these days have a little plastic or rubber tab that's meant to cover the viewfinder.

@fidelcastro537 7 лет назад

My question is, why does it not working at my side? I'm using a Hasselblad 500 CM (Digiback) an a 3.5/65mm lens. Mesured without Big stopper with ISO 50 anf f8 a time of 1/500. With the big stopper I take 2 seconds. But my pictures is ...... DARK! What could be the reason?

@annapeace369 6 лет назад

Thanks!!

@ehmaho 7 лет назад

I follow these steps exactly with my Big stopper but my pictures are always 2 or more stops overexposed any idea why?

@yudontsay 9 лет назад

when you use the metering in camera you allso say "its saying about a 1/60th" right? does it actually show this? or do you know so by looking at the histogram?

@politicalminds 7 лет назад

Hi Jonathan, I use a Pentax K-30 and could quite figure out how to set the time when you said you set the time at 15 seconds. Any suggestions?

@Mihajlo98 10 лет назад

Can anyone tell me where was this photographed?

@2007zodiac 9 лет назад

What make was your camera bag/model?. Many thanks. Great video

@noiseguys53 9 лет назад

Hi Jonathan, really enjoyed the your video using the Big and Little stoppers, it was very inspiring, which has helped me with the waterfall imagesI have been shooting. When you use the grad filter with the big stopper (From the Lands end video), do you need to add additional exposure time? I understand Lee filters provides the exposure chart, but that is only based on the initial exposure time without the filter. Just wondering how you factor the time with the two filters in parallel. Your thoughts would be appreciated

@jamesfromberg 10 лет назад

I was wondering what lens you were using at the 10 min mark on the video

@allandavies1187 10 лет назад

Hi Jonathan I failed to catch aperture size you used.

@binoyaudio88 10 лет назад

what mode should I use when I use ND filters? Manual mode or Aperture priority?

@sickhcivc 9 лет назад

Will there be any vinetting using a tamron 24 - 70mm (82mm thread) on canon 6d?

@atyl1972 10 лет назад

Also what did you expose for, the sea, wall or sky?

@davidpaul9365 5 лет назад

Instead of covering the vieu finder could you just lift the internal mirror ?

@alrawandi8402 5 лет назад

I'm sorry, not meaning to be a troll or anything, but doesn't Photoshop offer this already and much more? With higher resolutions, 4k upscaling, better picture quality etc etc for a fraction of the effort and cost?

@freshanything6629 7 лет назад

Hi thanks for a great tutorial! I also have a Lee Big Stopper and the little chart that comes with it, my question is if you put in a Grad filter say a 3 stop ND Grad,, would I be best to meter with the ND Grad in then add the calculation for the Big Stopper on top of that metering?

@ehmaho 7 лет назад

Yes
