This is my 4th trip out with the camera this Autumn so i'm doing well and theres more to come! Typically I don't have a good time with autumn due to the weather always ruining my plans. This year tho, apart from not having the cold snap we need to give us lots of autumnal colour, there has been a few good days without wind and rain spoiling everything!
Id intended on doing a tips video but to be honest I don't enjoy doing them and find them 'cringey'.. so i thought id talk about why i think the polariser is the most powerful filter/tool you can have in your camera bag, but also that you need to be aware about potentially over using it too..
I hope you enjoy the vide! Im just thrilled I didn't crash my drone.. again! haha

Some people struggle when they move from one discipline to another but you have done it very well. Very beautiful shots of our local waterfalls. You should do some more woodland and waterfall based photography :)

Another great video Gareth. Impressed with your drone footage too over the waterfall. Your a braver man than me. Your video gives me inspiration to get out in a few weeks when not working. Keep them coming.

@david_keating 3 года назад

Wow that's a stunning location Gareth. Beautiful images. The polariser is a great tool and I feel not only does it soften glare but it pops the colours at the same time. Love it. 👍🤘

Haha HONESTLY 😂 I know a lot place the leaves. I do too if needs be haha. This one was a gift tho 😂

@allanmarshall4582 3 года назад

Good video Gareth. One request, i would recommended making the white border. You put on the images you show. A little smaller, personally i think its too large.

@GarethDanks 3 года назад

Thanks for the tip! ill do that.. are you watching on phone or tv? it looks small when i edit it on the laptop..

@@GarethDanks Hi Gareth, on my PC desktop

@GarethDanks 3 года назад

Hmmm same as me I guess then. Ok I’ll give it some thought. Thanks for the feedback mate

@stephenelliott7071 3 года назад

I would say go much larger on the border - or smaller. I can see what Allan is saying, it's inbetween. Either way some lovely shots, I do love the Brecon Beacons. I must get back there. And the 16 f1.4 is like having a macro lens too. Amazing lens.

@marcelzwart3527 3 года назад

Stunning location Gareth. The images are really good. You said the images are a bit soft/unsharp in the edges. But on screen it is not noticable. I'm looking forward to your next video and the secret location. Then another question. When you do streetphotography you use a backbutton focus. Are you using this also with landscapephotography?

@73smoo 3 года назад

Just ordered polarisers. The third worked. The first one was a Hoya (77mm) for 50 bucks. It didn't do anything than darken the picture. And it was stuck in my step-up-ring. Could loosen it with rubber gloves. The second was a cheap one (I had luck with cheap ones before) for 14 bucks by K&F. It also didn't work. Had sort of stains. The third one for 40 bucks reduced by Rollei was fine then...

@GarethDanks 3 года назад

interesting the Hoya didnt work.. normally pretty good.. Rollie are making a comeback it seems haha

@TwangThang57 3 года назад

As far as the focus issue, perhaps your polarizer is adding some diffusion......dono, just a thought. The focus peaking on my X-E3 def gets confused when I use a Pro-Mist filter.

@GarethDanks 3 года назад

no it does it with out too.. good thought tho! tempted to try the zeiss

@WraithCalling 3 года назад

Do you remember what shutter speed you were shooting at? I thought it looked like 5 seconds, but wasn't sure. Would an ND filter work shooting water falls? Or is that something you can skip and just use the polarizer? I received an adjustable polarizer and ND filter for Christmas so have just started to experiment with them.

Soft images !....that’s what you get with adobe trying to process Fujifilm Gareth I’m sorry to say....I’ve developed in lightroom for 2 years now and it’s rubbish for the Fuji trans sensor .....Capture one will knock it out the park and give you the clean sharp images you need 🙂 ... Try those images in Capture One express free version, to see what I mean 👍

@GarethDanks 3 года назад

I 100% agree mate. And I have c1. But I find it far more difficult to get the same edits. Lr takes me 30 secs. C1 far longer. I need to set it up so it looks like lightroom too. Also it doesn’t do focus stacking and panos does it?

@garywedley9601 3 года назад

@@GarethDanks I only have the free version, so not sure about focus stacking etc if you get the full version. I’ve only been using C1 express for a couple of months, but my photos are transformed. I do some editing in lightroom and then send it to C1 for the sharpening. Works for me, but the process is a bit longer !
