Getting the correct shutter speed can make or break you photo. I am on location in Ireland and Northern Ireland to photograph some seascapes and make some mistakes and get some great shots. I also get the most epic light I have seen in a while.

Nigel, as someone from Northern Ireland, I loved this VLOG. How you picked out unique, compelling compositions and images from a place where thousands have been before you was amazing, a true credit. To be honest, there was also a really emotional side at 16:30 mins where you take about the 'disaster', I could see in your eyes that something was not good, then you said how you were ill on this trip and had to cut it short. To be honest, Nigel, one of the things that makes you so distinctive is your humanity: 'it doesn't get better than this' exuberance; talking abut what went wrong and your 'fails' and all in between. Many thanks for all that you give to the photographic community. Hopefully, I can join you on one of your workshops.

Fantastic! Memories of days like those stay with us forever... Thanks for sharing.

@jxkvb3434 3 года назад

You made this beautiful intro with an immense cinematic look. Dynamic scenes with such depth. And then IMMEDIATELY after it cuts to you waddling up into frame telling us how you forgot your hat lol your videos are a blessing and I look forward to binging them every time I need a photography fix. Thank you for the work you put in (:

@grahamegannon9708 3 года назад

I like taking seascapes and I found the subject on shutter speed interesting as I do tend to take long shutter speeds to get the effect I want. However, the next time I will try faster shutter speeds and try different compositions using waves as leading lines. Thanks Nigel.

What a great advertisement for photography in Ireland. Next time try the west coast (Mayo, Galway & Clare). Thanks for the inspiration, Nigel. Garrett (from Ireland).

@b3arodactyl Год назад

The little markers showing where you focused and comments about what improvements you should have done were super helpful, thanks for that. Would like to see you show the unedited as well as the edited though, as it's more helpful to see what it looks like straight out of the camera in order to judge which images will be good once edited.

@ProfMary 2 года назад

What incredible images you got on your trip, Nigel! I am sorry to didn't feel well toward the end and had to cut your trip short. Bummer! But those photos were well worth the cold and wind. I especially liked the backlit wave shots. Thank you for sharing.

@paulburton8981 3 года назад

Nigel. Fantastic images from your trip, whilst it's great that you put your camera settings for each individual shot can you include whether (or not) you used filters please; and if it's polariser (correct English spelling and not the usual American version with a Z) or ND and strength etc? Would really help us intermediates that are constantly trying to improve our own landscape shots. Thanks Nigel, keep up the good work.

@jerryhughes4720 3 года назад

Really good video Nigel, useful comments about backlight (12.19) speed and focal length for waves. I was there at the beginning of September, flat calm and no rain!! You cracked it with the weather especially at Malin Head, I really like those images..

@christopherhume8896 3 года назад

"It's cold and very windy". Hey, that's our summer you're talking about! 😂 If you get a chance to come over again make sure to stop at Ballintoy harbour and church, amazing spot.

@chrisjordan9759 3 года назад

That happy dance at 15 minutes 😂😂 glad you got some great shots while you where here!

@iqueque 2 года назад

I prefer the shorter shutter speeds to display the dynamics of the spray. I’m not a fan of creamy dreamy water effects which eliminate the striking bursts of spray.

@DA99E 3 года назад

Fantastic pictures. When it comes to the composition of images with sea and land, it can be good with longer shutter speeds so the sea provides a soft calm zone. It can be nice with contrast detailed and calm zones in the image. Much like light needs contrasts.

@DebFoley 3 года назад

I loved your happy dance for that last photo:))

@andreak4280 3 года назад

looks like a stunning location(s) begging to be photographed! The light and your images are stunning Nigel. I would love to visit that area sometime when i get back to traveling. Thanks for sharing your adventure and all its beauty! Btw, the music choice w/these images is fantastic 👌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙏🏼

The photos before you where back in the studio looked like fantasy shots where you can almost image dragons flying and mermaids on the rocks and Knights on beautiful horses. Yea this was a long way to say WOWSER. Sorry to hear you had to leave because of of illness hope you get the chance to go back soon

I picked almost the same location at the Causeway, but feel like I went a little too slow on the shutter speed. Love the last location though. Conditions were perfect for you!

I was just in Acadia last week and had a rare opportunity to practice seascape photography. Wish I would have seen this prior to my trip. These images are amazing.

@PseudoThief 3 года назад

Geez you lucked out with the lighting and the weather there. That was incredible. I was up that way the other week and it was dull, grey, neutral and rainy most of the day, but thankfully cleared up beautifully for golden hour. I think the secret is having time off work (or in your case having photography as your work) so you can afford to spend the time in these locations waiting for the perfect moment without having to rush off home to get on with life! It'll be interesting to see your next video on how you approach new locations. As you touched upon in this video, at the Giant's Causeway there's almost TOO much going on and it's hard to find your focus (in terms of direction and composition). How do you know where you want to be and what your subject of interest is in a scene that has so much going on? Do you focus on one feature, or try to incorporate it all? There's the Causeway rocks in the foreground, the sea, the dramatic cliffs and headlands, plus some interesting features ON those cliffs as well e.g. the Devil's Pipe Organ (basalt columns). How does lighting direction and time of day factor in? Do you incorporate this into your planning for where you go to and what time you get there at, or do you just go and determine what you'll shoot depending on the lighting when you get there?

@atlanticdrift-uk 3 года назад

Brilliant - at 9.00 you talk about taking two exposures and photo stacking in post. Could you explain a bit more about how you set this up in camera. is this exposure bracketing? Clearly I'm new to this. Thanks

@NJM1948 3 года назад

Another excellent video - what a superb venue. Loved all of your shots and storylines. One thing I would have found helpful if you had included the ISO in the data. But that said it was a pleasure to watch

@TheWooloomoolloo 3 года назад

Yeah, I' ve probably heard and read this admonition too, suggesting not to take photos in places where many postcard landscene photographers have worked before bu,t like you, I don' t believe it. One can still take all sorts of pictures at a well-known location, with or without people, at different seasons of the year, time of the day etc.

@cdduffy 3 года назад

Gave me goosebumps watching this. Prefer the waves shot with a faster shutter speed .

@PastorJoshuaSizemore 2 года назад

This video was absolutely stunning, Nigel. I love that you took the extra time to walk through setups and settings used for certain shots. That will definitely help me with my own photography in the future.

@oneandonlyjaybee 3 года назад

I'd love to go the Giant's Causeway, I love tge idea of an overhead wide shot of the hexagons with the water flowing over them

@NigelDanson 3 года назад

Great idea

@jpdj2715 3 года назад

There's one thing you touch on, but don't underline: timing when to be there relative to the tide. When the tide is coming up, you can have these waves, when it is receding, and around the peak, there is less agitation in the water, at least into the coast line's direction.

Have you ever thought of shooting digital medium format? Or is what you looking for in landscape photography just not aided by the larger sensor and its advantages, e. G. The increase in detail?

@suisinghoraceho2403 2 года назад

@Nico-bc4ir 3 года назад

Great video, as always! Thanks! Barely recognized you without your hat. :)

@JR-lx8nn 2 года назад

Great instruction. At first, I was annoyed by how slowly and how long this video was progressing ... but the more I watched, the more I came to appreciate how it details the PROCESS of anticipating and waiting for a scene to develop, instead of grabbing the shot and moving on to the next tourist attraction. My initial annoyance was, eventually, converted to patience for the video and that I think is more important than the point of the video! Take the time to work the scene and look for different angles and viewpoints. What is not said is most important in this one. Of course, the images DO prove the premise of this lesson - slow down, and take a longer exposure - although I disagree with the negative comments on the causeway shots - if they were taken at a longer exposure, they would look fake and the water would look too blurry and creamy - which is not how it looks and I hate fake looking images. Still the point is well taken - slow down and try longer exposures. Thanks. TT

@dfinlay587 3 года назад

Great shots, and close to home! Its a beautiful location. I had the feeling you were close to needing an ND filter for the causeway shots, as you were at f16 on some.

@RussWeymouthPhotography 3 года назад

Amazing light from 13:45 onwards - that must have been a headless chicken moment to take as many photos and find good compositions before the light faded.

@santoshbistaphotos 3 года назад

Hi Nigel, I have been watching your video for a long time. Just need a suggestion on buying ND filter for sunset and sunrise photography. It would be great. I have A7iii + 24-70GM lens. Thank you so much..

@robcoates4394 3 года назад

I very rarely have occasion to laugh out loud while watching a photography video but your joyful caper at 15:10 did the trick! 😊 There were so many highlights in the video but for me, the lighting at 13:50 was absolute magic (not to mention so amazing, unbelievable and oh my word, which you already have!) . Undoubtedly your best video yet. Five stars! Cheers from DownUnder.

@MOAB-UT 2 года назад

Nice pics. Since you used long exposure, did you use a ND filter?

@peters1324 3 года назад

Fantastic video as always Nigel. Did you use an ND grad for the 30s shutter speed shot or stop down to a high F number ?

@NigelDanson 3 года назад

I use a ND filter but no grad

@BarisYener 3 года назад

@BlueL1n3 3 года назад

14:20 wow those are beautiful! were you using an ND filter on these?

@renelittle4004 3 года назад

Hi Nigel, did you use an ND filter for the slower shutter speeds? How did you prevent vignetting? That’s a big problem for me, even when i use a wide aperture (on my 24-100 Canon lens)

@FrancoisBoucheros 3 года назад

Great video Nigel, we can totally feel your excitement :) Do you use an ND filter or just a Polarizer filter (or nothing) when you do slow speed with water?

Hi Nigel, I never youtube comment (well until now!) but just wanted to say how much your enthusiasm and excitement for photography come across, and was especially noticable in this vid. It had inspired me to look far more positively at weather/light conditions as chances to take photos. Thanks for your efforts, and brilliant vids. Also thanks for introducing me to James Popys - i'm really enjoying his channel too.

Now that is a dilemma...too many choices to shoot. I've shooting along the Delaware shoreline trying to capture waves. Wish I had seen this before my trip but good tips for next time.
