The Oncoming Storm // Lightning Storm Photography 

That means a lot! It’s pretty liberating from my perspective to just let the video be about the place rather than about me. It’s also a bit easier on myself deprecating personality as well. I enjoy the challenge of trying to tell a decent story in a limited amount of time sometimes I succeed but sometimes it works out. Thank you so much for the kind words

Hi Nick 😊. I not only full heartedly agree with the comment here, but I find it so interesting that you’re also self deprecating, especially coming from someone as obviously talented as you.

@@monaburch9163 I certainly struggle with my own feelings of self doubt and criticism.. I am willing to be there are a lot of creative people that struggle with the same things.. I might be a bit more transparent with my self doubt than some on RU-vid

@@NickPage Ok, I'm thirding those comments, if that's a thing :) I've been really enjoying your videos, from the on location to the tutorials, so thanks for all of the effort that I know you have to put into making them. You've also developed a style that's definitely your own, and is very professionally done. On the self-doubt thing? I believe that a large part of that is that when we create something, we are intimately aware of everything it took to get to the end result. We see all of the the choices that we made and know why we made them, or were forced into making them. The things we're not so happy with are glaring out at us, magnified beyond their actual place in the overall image. We see the entire history of that image when we look a it. Other people only see the actual end-result. In a way I'm kind of jealous of that, given that I just want to create great images. I think that you have to put your work away for a good length of time to be able to see it with fresh eyes, and to just see the image. And who's going to do that?

Glad you enjoyed it!

Really appreciate that Jane! That’s certainly the goal for these videos I find that the more I make the video about the experience and less about me the more I enjoy them

I appreciate that John thank you

yeah.. way way easier to shoot

It’s certainly one of my favorites, it’s actually an old abandoned school house which is even more creepy

Thank you Justin that means a lot

Thank you so much! its a good sign when a video goes fast, it means you didn't get sick of me by the end hahaha... that is part of why I am talking less and less in my videos these days.

yeah it was an added bonus of trying to catch up and intercept that storm cell.. very much a .. holy crap.. pull over the car moment

I appreciate it! that was me trying NOT to peel out.. I should have just gunned it and made for a better clip :)

Awesome, thank you for the kind words. Its amazing how refreshing it is from my point of view to not feel pressured to ramble the whole time.. I get pretty sick of listening to myself after a few hundred of these videos haha. I think we are all looking forward to a post-covid world!

Thank you!

I really appreciate it thank you!

It’s actually quite liberating from my point of you as well do not feel pressured to blather on the whole time

Olbinski is the king of the storm time lapse.. he would win that game for sure.. but I will take him on at seascapes :)

Thanks so much Edwin... I really enjoy the more 3rd person style of shooting. because like you said, it feels more like a short film than a vlog.. the world has enough "vloggers"

Thanks Michael... these conditions will get me out to shoot everytime.. these also represent the only clouds we have had in about a month and a half haha. I hear you though.. it was so nice go get out and shoot

Thanks, you too!

Thanks a David!

Nick - you selling prints?

I am working on getting my website setup a bit better for print fullfillment.. its in the works

Glad you enjoyed it
