Really like to see 'panicy Nigel' trying to get the best composition as the light is changing. We all suffer this syndrome so nice to see the best photographers panicing too. Can't wait to see the campavan when it is kitted out.

Great video Nigel. As far as your posting schedule I believe I would speak for the vast majority of your followers. We want what is best for you. We want your stress level low and your creativity level high. That is probably best achieved with you being as fresh as possible when you work. So taking care of yourself is the first and foremost priority for you. None of us are going anywhere. We will be right here whenever you decide to be here. As far as this video...epic as you would say. I could certainly relate to your excitement and nervousness about catching the ever fleeting light. And yes, please do a video on paper and printing. I'm getting ready to buy that Cannon P1000...one of the ones you use. All the best and have fun with than van build. Phil Arnold, USA

@KimEltzroth-dl5ek 3 месяца назад

If taking time off gets us a video like this, by goodness, take it and recharge. This was everything I enjoyed watching. You are filled with enthusiasm and joy with what you are doing. It doesn't get better than this! 😊

@alanevans9246 3 месяца назад

Awesome Nigel! Looking forward to your next installment! As always, keep snapping… Nice to see you this Sunday morning, as I live in the USA, it is great to wake up and find a Nigel video…

@MadsPeterIversen 3 месяца назад

Haha, it was fun seeing it from your perspective! It wasn't as bad as you made it out to be and I gotta admit, the last print you showed with the dead trees, indeed you absolutely nailed the composition! :D

@NigelDanson 3 месяца назад

Thanks - I know... I was actually fairly pleased (for once)

@trishfre2 3 месяца назад

Your infectious giggle, enthusiasm, epic scenery and photos, not to mention the rush to change lenses to get the perfect shot, make watching your videos so worthwhile. Yes, indeed it is ‘So good’ Nigel😊

@jremi 3 месяца назад

This is sooooo helpful! It’s great to see that even the most experienced photographers like Nigel don’t « see everything » at the time of shooting. I know I have to learn to observe more and more efficiently from different angles. Nigel’s videos teach me so much. Thanks!

@daveolden181 2 месяца назад

Anybody who chases light can totally relate to the excitement/panic in your voice. So real. love it!

@LarryManiccia 2 месяца назад

Glad to see you having a really great experience Nigel. Having fun like a little kid again. These are the times us photographers dream about.

@glenwood4102 3 месяца назад

Nigel Glen from the Antarctic trip. Doug and I went to Patagonia before meeting you all for the cruise. So glad you all made it out to Torres del Paine. I wish people could could fully understand the unbelievable amazement of this place and understand how incredibly hard it is to fully capture its beauty. Your enthusiasm and stress really captures how existing and panicked you can become trying to get just the right photo. I think that place had some of the most amazing light Ive ever photographed

@user-io6zb4bw3z 3 месяца назад

Incredible, you are a real inspiration! Thank you for sharing.

@Clm4655 3 месяца назад

Great! I'm really looking forward to the video about paper! This is what I suggested already 😉 Of course all the other videos are fantastic too. Many thanks for them!

@TheCurlywon 3 месяца назад

Stunning location. Love seeing your excitement return. Glad you left all the indecision of choosing the lenses in the video.

@brunolp27 3 месяца назад

Patagonia was my childhood dream. It was my first international trip, and I couldn't have picked a better debut. the most incredible landscape on the planet. glad I'm finally seeing Nigel there.

@GingerCaptures 3 месяца назад

It doesn't get better than that 😉👍🏻 Great to see you panic shooting, it's what makes Landscape Photography and the emotions we're great Mr 🥰👍🏻

@kevins8575 2 месяца назад

Your artistry with the wide angle is wonderful. For just plain epic, the telephoto shots were terrific. Great video!

@pentax-paul. 3 месяца назад

Simply stunning scenery , enhanced by that beautiful light , and your skill as a photographer to capture it in detail .

@DevonRich697 3 месяца назад

An epic location and brilliant photos. I think that we all panic at times when the light kicks off!

@stuhhamptonphotography 3 месяца назад

Wow what a wonderful video Nigel and a reminder to me of our time spent there. What a magnificent place the Torres Del Paine NP is. I witnessed the most incredible sunrise whilst visiting in Feb 2020. The scenary is simply stunning and we even enjoyed a close encounter with a Puma. 😊

@timrosenburgh8597 3 месяца назад

What a location. Absolutely amazing place. You certainly had your work cut out when the light kicked off, headless chicken time lol. It reminded it of me. Absolutely stunning image's. It doesn't get better than this. Look forward to the next video.

@markledbury3666 3 месяца назад

Awesome video Nigel! Loved the real-world ‘panic’ with the sudden amazing light. Keep the great work!😊

@ronboe6325 3 месяца назад

As you were running around panicing I'm thinking "forget us! Get the shot!". But thanks for sharing.

@ianfirth-clark5975 3 месяца назад

I love Patagonia, I recently spent nearly a month sailing round Cape Horn and into the Fjords photographing the glaciers and mountains. Great idea Nigel.

@michaelcibula9552 2 месяца назад

I hiked through this area in 2017 and you just brought me back to the magical time. Thank you!

Killer work Nigel. Great video angle of you standing in front of the mountains, so cool. Loved your detail shots of the mountains and light!

@Jake-vt4ow 3 месяца назад

Love how you all have different interests on what to shoot! Stunning work.

@richardduckworth859 3 месяца назад

Thanks for a wonderful video, Nigel. Seeing how a pro reacts to sudden amazing light is refreshing and encouraging. I had an experience in the Canadian Rockies when the magical light only lasted 90 sec. I wish I had reacted as well as you did in this video

@ItsGeoffScottSimpson 3 месяца назад

Fabulous composition regarding the print of the dead tree and branches 👍

@robsherylmciver357 3 месяца назад

I was screaming at you …get your shit together, Nigel! Haha. And then I cheered at all your shots. Regarding your videos…lots to go back to and (re)Learn and always look forward to your new videos. Life has too much to offer to sit and wait for videos so yea, go enjoy life!

@guysingleton3908 3 месяца назад

Great video, and great to see that professionals panic like the rest of us when something fantastic is in front of us

@GeorgeScheller-wv6cm 3 месяца назад

Your enthusiasm and excitement is contagious ! Super video...can't wait for part two.

@spidersj12 3 месяца назад

Nigel, as you so emphatically stated in your voiceover commentary, if you had just looked through the viewfinder of the camera you were vlogging with you'd have seen how easily that tree could have fit right into the water. Then again, if you had stayed at the previous spot with that curved spiked dead tree in the middle of the frame when the light kicked off, that would have been stupendous.

@robertspeicher5047 3 месяца назад

Reminds me of a video I watched by fellow in England. Behind him , a gap between trees to a field , I noticed how the rising sun was showing on the trees. I watched and the light got better and better, while the fellow continued talking about finding good light. By the time he stopped speaking, thst fantastic was gone. I notice how many who make videos and talk about landscape , and will off to the country side and comment. I wonder why they don't talk while, slowly panning the area and get to see what they see.

@Bob-gj1iz 3 месяца назад

I loved your frantic rush to catch the perfect light. You got some great photos.

@derekjamieson2427 2 месяца назад

Great scenery and some great shots - but the video is an absolute classic. I've never watched a video that has so well captured the stress of a dawn shoot when everything kicks off. I'm certainly glad I've never had to do a video at the same time...... Absoltutely magic, Nigel.

@tjsinva 3 месяца назад

It surely can be a struggle when you're trying to get the shot and record a video at the same time. Mads had given us a preview of your headless chicken moment, quite amusing. Hope you found all those lens caps you were tossing about. 😜 Always looking forward to new videos whenever you choose to upload. Carry on. 👍🥂

@akseone1 3 месяца назад

Those images are absolutely incredible.

@DarrenJSpoonley 3 месяца назад

Those trees 😍😍 Fitzroy was flexin for you too and then the light arrived and said hold my beer 🤣 Bravo 👏

@jamesvoiss7122 3 месяца назад

Nigel, it was so much fun to be with you (virtually) on this trip! The energy you generated just boosted my own enthusiasm. I don’t imagine I’ll ever make it to Patagonia, but seeing it through your eyes (and lenses) has been a rich experience. Thank you. Can’t wait for the next installment.

@iankane6672 3 месяца назад

@BVGrillman821 3 месяца назад

Thanks Nigel. Great to see you enjoying the moments while working the photo and video. Chasing the light and how to frame it is not easy but you always find a way. Thanks for sharing.

@brandonmjohnsonphotography 3 месяца назад

WOW! This may be the best light I have seen you been blessed with in your videos. Fantastic work Nigel. I love all of your shots from here. I can't wait until next week to see part 2 of this video.

@AgillexUK 3 месяца назад

lovely location. It was refreshing to see the uncut B-Roll and know that you can also end up in Headless Chicken mode when it all kicks off! Nice work!

@danielbastos1885 3 месяца назад

@gsevere2073 3 месяца назад

I must say I felt your anxiety during that whole process. 100% worth the effort there!

@jimtrull683 3 месяца назад

Wouldn’t it be nice when we get the epic light at sunrise if we only had a pause button that would freeze the conditions so we could get into the right location and have the right lens for the shot😎. Seeing you scramble around changing lenses like a mad man brought a smile to my face as I figured I look very similar when this happens to me. It was good to have you back for my Sunday morning routine. Thanks for sharing your experiences with us Nigel.

@clarkfamilysymphony5463 3 месяца назад

I really enjoyed watching that and your excitement over things I didn't know people got excited about as well, so that was nice. Keep on!

@paulclark9123 3 месяца назад

@rcen20 3 месяца назад

I’ve been watching your videos for quite awhile now. I don’t tend to comment much, but I just have to say that those images towards the end with the amazing sunrise are some of my favorites of yours I’ve ever seen. Absolutely amazing!

@seanmichaelroper3587 3 месяца назад

I can relate to this, fumbling through my lenses, camera and tripod in the middle of a great shot!

@alancbruce 3 месяца назад

Simply perfect. Thank you

@alanclark9691 3 месяца назад

Wow, what a location and some smashing images Nigel - despite the obvious panic in selecting compositions given the rapidly changing light conditions. Having watched both your and Mads videos I feel there was perhaps rather too much focus on foreground, perhaps on occasion to the detriment of that fantastic background.

@rhiannonlawler7313 3 месяца назад

😂😂😂 Love the panicked reality of this! Look forward to seeing the next part of the trip with more fabulous images.

@raphaelcoelho1557 3 месяца назад

Welcome to real South! So many places in Patagonia, Atacama and Bolivia to visit. But an incredible journey would be Amazon for a month. I'm going to Atacama and Bolivia again on April. Spectacular video by the way

@stevenpetouvis895 3 месяца назад

@tonyblackett9291 2 месяца назад

Thanks Nigel for another fabulous and insightful video. After watching your weekly videos for some time now, I have finally Subscribed. As a Nikon photographer myself, but not pro, I have been using a D750 for many years. I'm also a passionate Lightroom Classic user of almost 17 years. With the release of the Z8 last year, I thought it might be my dream camera. Inspired by your assessment of the Z8, I took the plunge and purchased one nine months ago. Since then, I have upgraded my lenses to Z versions. A very happy photographer. In this week's video, I noticed that when you shot a bracketed set, the Z8 shot the entire sequence with only one touch on the screen. It took me a while to work out that this happens when the self timer is set. Thank you again Nigel for your excellent channel. I've learned another useful feature of the impressive Z8. As for deciding to slow down, good on you. Take time doing the things you love.

@pierreboyer3044 3 месяца назад

@ChrisHunt4497 3 месяца назад

Love seeing a panicky Nigel 😉😉very relatable! Some great images though, perhaps you should panic more often! 🤣🤣

@combatwombat71 3 месяца назад

Some great light to play with there. I know what the 'good light' panic is like - when it only usually happens briefly! The chances of me ever getting to Patagonia are approximately nil, so it's great to see it featured here :-)

@jeffnewman8261 3 месяца назад

I've been in that situation myself.a number of times. It's crazy!

@anneastbury9766 3 месяца назад

Brilliant video Nigel, loved seeing the reality of sudden change of conditions and how you handled it. There wasn't even time for an apple! 😄 Awesome images, love seeing the prints. Thank you for all your hard work to bring us these videos.

@WillPembrokePhotography 3 месяца назад

to me, I think you're the most relatable photography RU-vidr. When I'm on big shoots on my own I tend to start talking to myself, vocalising each step to myself when I'm feeling overwhelmed cause it helps me understand what's got to be done to get the shot I want, helps me feel less overwhelmed. I also give myself encouragement like you were in this one. I've been making photography videos for 3 years now, doing on-location videos like yours and others, so sometimes I'll be recording during those overwhelming, manic times. However I've noticed when I'm recording I talk less to myself to avoid the viewers thinking I'm strange for talking to myself. I think you've shown me that it's ok to include that and that it's part of the story of the shoot. I love your videos mate.

@NigelDanson 3 месяца назад

Yeah - I think authenticity is really important. People like to see the reality I think... Keep making videos!!!

@WillPembrokePhotography 3 месяца назад

@NigelDanson I definitely agree, I try to show authenticity in my videos as much as I can, mainly including it to tell the story (like my failed attempts and other stuff). I'm still getting comfortable with showing that side of myself on camera, though. The side others might think is strange

@wilsonsilva6226 3 месяца назад

This vídeo explains why I have two cameras with different lenses on each… the wide angle lens on the tripod and the long lens for hand held shooting when the other takes long exposure shots…

@georgemason2472 3 месяца назад

Epic! Did I hear you use the word Epic? That's when you've been around Mads too long. Next thing I know Mads is going to be saying "It doesn't get better than this"! 🙂 Gorgeous shots! Loved them all. What a treat to see the mountains as that isn't a given, then to have that great light. What a group of photographers to be shooting with!

@ianpinion4997 3 месяца назад

Wow!!! Just wow! What a fantastic location and then to see it in truly epic conditions, you must have been beside yourself with excitement. You certainly managed to do it justice, despite being caught on the hop when it decided to go next level in epicness terms. 👏👏👏

@davidthompson8153 3 месяца назад

Absolutely awesome Nigel. Loving the texture and detail on these trees. I think the idea of doing a video on printing and especially the paper choice is excellent and I will look forward to that. You have some wonderful photos from here.

@andreafranzius3189 3 месяца назад

Gorgeous photography, lovely enthusiastic video and what a jaw-droppingly magic place, Nigel! If I had to choose between Antarctica and Patagonia, I'd pick Patagonia, hands down! Somehow I sense that you may have felt more comfortable in spectacular and colourful Patagonia than squeezed in a zodiac with many people in that polar freeze and hazy whiteout ... I would, anyway. Glad to see you happier now than a couple of weeks ago, even beautiful Pebbles looked as worried as you did in your last video! Just pick your rhythm, do what you like, and we will happily go along.
