I had such a great moring in this video, the pano i was very pleased with maybe not quite up there for a wall hanger. but i would love to know what you think. drop me a comment and tell me should i get it printed?
Hello Paul, great video, nice shots and thanks for the free workshop at the lone tree of Llyn Padarn a few weeks back, I got some good shots thanks to your help!
It is a very popular location and rightly so Paul. What I noticed in all your great images is that every one has been complimented by the dramatic clouds. Had those clouds not been there, would you have made the same compositions?
Great images as always Paul, but I get so sad when I look a these images from " Tarn Hows " the beautiful Trees all gone most just rotted away, Only a few years ago I saw the first of this starting alongside Windermere and now you see it on the side of Derwentwater but nobody seems to mention this I cannot be the only Photographer that notices this, Kindest regards to you both, Colin.
hi Paul, great video, can i ask a question about the capture clip you use........ can you keep a small rig on the camera and also attach the clip at the same time?
Yes, absolutely all you need to do it attach the Capture Clip plate to the bottom of the rig thet it will clip in.. Use the link if your buying mate will help me out.. Peak Designs Capture Mount V3 amzn.to/2Qmcpg2
Great shots Paul and the pano was sublime 👍 I'm off work this week and hoping to head to the Lake district, where would you recommend for a first time visit for a day or two mate? Cheers, Steve.
You're not going to like me for this. I don't think the pano is as good as some of the other shots. We can get sucked in by an epic view, which just doesn't translate to 2D. Even with great light (and the light was great) pano's can lose simplicity of subject. I think the rule of 'what am I supposed to be looking at' still applies to pano's; more than three points of interest and the eye/brain gets confused. That balance between minimalism and chaotic is often a fine one. Having said that it'll probably look better as a big print as you can then focus on sections of it whilst the other bits are still in peripheral vision. For me the best shots were of the trees and the breaking light.
I always enjoy your comments, no matter good or bad, i understand just what you mean... and maybe i will take note of that next time i am shooting a wide panoi... thanks as always
@@paulcomptonpdphotography Here you go, you can have a laugh at a 'know it all's' expense. I lost a welly. I was following a quad bike track and blundered into a bog. Stuck fast for five minutes (on MOD land). Eventually, when I realised my other foot was slowly sinking as well, I had to get my foot out of the welly and crawl on my hands and knees out of the bog. I looked a site. Luckily only a 100 yards back to the car. We have a week or so of good weather on the cards so I'll go back and dig the lonely welly out of the mud before the weather breaks. Reminded me of seeing a sheep carcass in a bog last year. Not pretty !
@@paulcomptonpdphotography I often get my wellies into deep mud, you get used to it and it doesn't usually bother me as long as I have some 'terra firma' to heave my body weight onto. I've been above the knee in the occasional mud hole and drainage ditch before but this is the first time I've actually been, despite two wiggling and heel twisting, stuck with suction. I could reach the welly when I'd got clear but it still wasn't coming free. I looked a state. I had to put my clothes through the wash twice.
