The Daily Walk Ep3 | Nature Photography, Making Art From the Ordinary
There’s always a shot.
Hi Dave. Again, after a long time, a beautiful video, my friend. I am still amazed by the beautiful contrast in your work. This is so beautiful and buttery soft, I really enjoy watching it. I try it too and come pretty close but you are still the king. I have watched this video with great pleasure and I look forward to your next video. Antoine.
Thank you Antoine!
6x17 at 24mm worked well. This was sort or a nostalgic video because the first video I watched of yours, "Processing RAW in Affinity Photo," was the same scene, also showing your process in the software.
Thanks for watching, I believe that old video was at a different stream but definitely similar for sure, I have done quite a few videos from this little creek so I wouldn't be surprised that it may look familiar, it's a great little stream for photography
I just watched it again and you're right that it might not be the same place. Indeed very similar, though. I thought it was the same place from a different angle.
Wonderful images. I expect nothing less. Kudos.
Thank you Louise, that Sony is still going strong, works great for panos!
Wow! Great images!! You've got me revved up to try some - I think it will help me through the summer photography doldrums! Cheers!
Thanks Robert, give it a go, it's a fun way to get through the summer 😆
Hi David - yes, it is a good idea with panorama project! At least it will be a fresh look at the woods and creeks.
Sometimes all it takes a fresh new perspective, or aspect ratio, 😆 to see something in a new and different way
Lesson learned for me! Don't plan a nature shot! React! I'd neve bother with LF! Ever! I quit my Linhof 50" years ago. Nice video.
I think because I worked as a photojournalist for 25 years it was hard for me to do photography in a way that didn't allow me to react in a way I'd done for so many years so I finally had to set the LF camera aside. It was smart of you to know your strength as a photographer, some of use are slower learners. Lol I'm much happier now reacting to what's in front of me, it's what I do best.
Oh, this wonderful musik...
Very nice! Worth the walk. Thank you! Geoff
this was wonderful inspiration. Manu thanls for making and posting this video!
Thank you for the kind words Erik!
Hi, Dave. Awesome video, my friend. Excellent photos. Do you know how good you are, my dear friend? Stunning job, man, Antoine.
Thank you so much for the kind words of encouragement Antoine!
Nice work Mate, why you talk so much??
Thank hou for sharing your experience and photoresults. I love your black and whites
Outstanding!
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning images David! A great collection of your best work!
Thank you so much Brent!
Thank you. Your work is inspiring.
Thank you!
Absolutely stunning macro and detailed abstract shot! Very inspiring!
Thank you very much Paul!
Fabulous photos Dave beautifully composed and edited 😊
Thank you Christine!
Great photos!
Thanks Jason!
Excellent collection of images.
Thank you Bill!
Hello, Dave. What wonderful photos you present here, friend. Composition and light are really the building blocks of your work. And don't forget your photographic eyes because you need them to see all this beauty. A wonderful slide show, my friend, which I thoroughly enjoyed watching. Kind regards from the Netherlands, Antoine.
Thank you for the kind words Antoine. I wish I could have more for you in the way of videos but over the last few weeks I haven’t been able to get out much for photography, life has been getting in the way, plus I’ve been revamping my lens lineup to better fit with the photography I’m wanting to do in this upcoming year, buying and selling camera gear is a real pain! 😆 I’ve been thinking of the theme of intimate landscapes and closeup photography for awhile so I figured it was a good time to put that project together in hopes of sparking visual ideas that the viewer might consider trying in their own photography. I’m getting pretty close to finalizing my current lens lineup, at least for now, :) so I hope to be getting out more pretty soon. Take care Antoine!
@@seeingmonochrome Thank you very much for this response, my friend.
A really nice collection of b/w images. Good stuff.
Thanks John!
Wow, amazing images David!
Thank you Bill!
Great body of work David. Always, lots of inspiration , thanks. KB
Thank you Ken!
Thank you for sharing your wonderful photos
I liked the images! Great stuff! Your imagination shines through!
Thank you very much Robert!
Wonderful.
Thank you David!
Phantastic Photos!
Thank you!
I have told you before but you have one of the best eyes for the details shots that I have seen on youtube. Don't know if that comes out of your journalist background where one looks for something to highlight the topic or just that you have a great internal sense. But you got some really fine photos.
Thank you Erich!
So many stunning images. I wish I had more blank wall space so I could get more of your prints.
Thank you for the kind words!
Wow! Awesome set of photos👍👍
Thanks Mark!
Inspirational!
Thank you!
So many beautiful images!! I really appreciate the intimacy you show in nature - the things so many of us walk by without ever noticing. Thank you for sharing these!
Thank you Robert!
Wonderful and very aesthetic footage. Great video
Thank you!
100% with you. I’m thinking in black and white since art classes at school. Always preferred to do ink drawings instead of colour paintings. Do you use a monochrome converted camera or turn it into black and white in post?
I do black and white a couple ways, when I'm using a digital camera most of the time I'm converting a RAW file to BW and the rest of the time I'm using black and white film in a variety of formats. I still find BW film to produce excellent results when I'm willing to put the time and effort into using it. :)
@@seeingmonochrome Thanks! I still have a ton of red, orange, yellow, green-yellow and blue filters at home. But I've become too lazy to develop film myself, scan it, etc. etc. I'm thinking of doing something stupid and purchase a M11 Monochrom
very nice work
Thank you!
Very inspiring!! I have a decades old fascination with forests, native grasslands, and mountains. After watching your video it has me thinking of making a Blurb book on trees and prairie. Thanks for the video!
Thanks Peter, you should definitely do a Blurb book project!
sounds like a good book title to me, what an absolutely stunning collection. The trees are speaking to you :)
Thank you Christine!
Awesome photos! Thanks for sharing
Thank you
Beautiful journey through the seasons. This video inspires me to become more focused on my photographic studies of our own small reservoir. Thank you for sharing your artistry.
Thank you, I think working close to home offers a unique opportunity to find those special moments and light that most will never see.
David, these images are stunning! What a wonderful eye and a talent for technique.
Thank you for the kind words Dave!
I wait you to photo on trees burned this summer near me on Gaeta...
I do more ‘off the cuff, street stuff’, so I’m in complete awe of the landscape, contemplative types who ‘pre visualize’ and go after their mind picture. Great stuff!
Thank you Vincent, I did off the cuff photography for 25 years as a photojournalist, I'm now enjoying a more contemplative type of photography, it's a nice change of pace :)
Great match with the music.
Thanks Gary!
Do I perceive a green filter used in some of these images? Very nice.
No Gary, these images are an assortment photos made with digital and film cameras, edited mostly with Affinity Photo and sometimes I will also use the NIK Silver Efex plugin as part of the process. The only filters I use would be an occasional yellow filter or possibly a polarizing filter but I would say not that many would have a filter at all. The tonality of the images are mostly due to my style of editing. I hope that answers your question :)
Excellent collection of images. Well done.
Thank you Bill!
You have great vision. I'm loving your music choices in your videos. It really suits the subject.
Thank you for the kind words Harold and thank you for stopping by the channel!
Truly outstanding images and a great inspiration ❤❤💫
Thank you!
Gorgeous images David, well done.
Thank you Keith!
I feel your challenge, as I always say,:" what you see today might not be there tomorrow ". I can spend days on or at a preserved crime scene, but one always feels like you missed something. What would work the best is if one can spend a few seasons at a precise location, no warranty of success. For this location a drone might save you some heavy hauling, or hauling of the right equipment for the day. As for myself and in my country this type of outing has a 90%+ chance of one becoming a victim of serious crime, regardless of the value of your gear.
Yikes! Sorry to hear it's so dangerous where your are, I don't think I'd head out for photos of it was! Where I'm at I rarely see another person and when I do, my dog let's me know they are nearby so all is good.
Some really inspirational images. I also love photographing trees.
Thank you Harold
