So, I've watched a LOT of your channel. And I have to say, I've been on UA-cam since forever but never once subscribed to anything. Never once "Liked" anything. I didn't want to engage. I've always just come to YT to learn things, and then gone about my day. Your channel is the first one I'm subscribing to. It's fantastic fun, heartfelt, and informative.
Good for you Cina ...if someone took the time to buy you a present 💝 and you just took it and walked away ..I know you would say Thank you .So for Me a like or subscribe is my way of thanking them for taking the time in making the videos ..have a good day ..x
Another tip for you all. If there is mist around do take some B+W shots. This time of year everyone gets obsessed with autumn colour so just try something different. Great vid Nigel.
Larch trees turning golden in the fall are one of my favorite. I also love the bright reds of blueberry leaves on the barrens in the fall here in Maine.
A tip on the color wheel complementary colors: a primary color complements with the combination of the other two (as blue complements with orange (red + yellow) and yellow complements with purple (red + blue)). Keeping that in mind, you won't have to check the wheel every time you need to remember the rule!
Aspens are the most beautiful tree for me. The white bark and bright yellow leaves are breathtaking and the silver birches are awesome too! Great video!
Hey Nigel, I've been following and liking for years but I've never commented. Gotta say I've appreciated this video! Valuable tips! As a Canadian I can't agree more on the time sensitivity of autumn. One day it can be 20c and the next morning it can be -2 with a foot of snow. Take the shots while you can!
LOL - I do know what you mean, and I envy you - autumn colours are quite fantastic - I grew up with them, but long since left them behind. I now live in sub-tropical climate, with essentially only two seasons and no separate page for either spring or autumn - they are just the shoulder, where the two seasons join, but no particularly wonderful colours, rarely if ever any mist. Your photo at 4:50 is outstanding - be proud! At 5:50 you do something I urge everyone to do - don't just look in one direction - look all around you, try to "see" - it's amazing what images leap out at you, if you only give this a try. Sunset? - don't just stare west - look north - look south - turn around and look behind you - look up above you - there are images, colours, opportunities, all around us - and so few people "look" or "seee"/
I haven’t been able to travel this year owing to the pandemic and a ear issue but have been able to take pictures like your leaf one, there’s opportunities everywhere you don’t always have to travel, perhaps not being able to travel will make us appreciate when we can.
I just LOVE oak trees, they are just so beautiful in the autumn and they have so much character in them. I am also a woodworker and oak wood is just amazing for woodworking.
This is such a good lesson to understanding one of the most exciting seasons to photograph. Your timing to submitting this is perfect. Thank you. On an added note, your channel is the best in learning Photography. Thank you
Hey Nigel, thank you for these tips. Autumn's beauty can be so overwhelming that we need a reminder to slow down, take the time to find the perfect location/composition.... and most of all enjoy yourself during this magical time of the year 🍂
It certainly has been a strange year! Some time in the mountains and wandering lakes is exactly what I need. Off to plan my weekend for just that! Thanks for the inspiration.
Great video...I rarely finds time to comment on UA-cam videos, but this one, foundreally useful...with really informative tips to take forward on my photo missions to capture the beauty of autumn. Thanks.
I went out this morning after it had rained. I may not have bothered but your comment about the leaves being saturated after the rain stuck in my mind. I wandered around the woods and it was so gorgeous everywhere I looked. I only wish I had more time! Great video 😊
Thanks Nigel. My Sunday is complete. For those of us in SoCal, Autumn bring hot winds, 100 degree days, and the deciduous trees we have change from crusty green to shabby brown. A few exceptions. We have had some nice fog lately.
Recently found your channel as I’m hoping to get back into photography.. great work. Just bought your Calendar by means as a small token of support. Look forward to watching more! Thanks👍📷
I think the most inspirational part of this video for me is that someone soooo talented also gets disappointed when they get back home and look at their photos and they’re not quite what you wanted or expected 🙌😩
Nigel Danson when I do my indoor photography I set up and I can take about six photos max, all of them usable with subtle variations. When I’m outdoors I come home with a hundred photos and I don’t like most of them 😂
Well, we MASSIVELY appreciate your videos...thanks Nigel! And my favorite tree is the gnarly old "Live Oaks" that we have here in California....they remind me a little of the trees that you and Neill Burnell have taken photos of. I'm not sure how they look in the fall, but I think I better go find out. Love your reminder to look at the smaller scenes (leaves in puddles...).
Thank you once again Nigel ..truly stunning as always .I need to compose Myself first as Autumn is my Favourite Season too ..I get carried away .Less is more I understand now ..You are helping to bring My Mojo back , appreciated ..take care ..
We missed getting for Autumn here in Aus due to lockdown, best time of the year. Am longing to get out again soon with my camera. Great tips for photography, thank you.
I have to agree , Silver birches are my fave tree , they work well all year round , fresh vibrant greens in the spring and fantastic shapes and purple branches in the winter
Really useful, Nigel, thank you! I echo Rahul's comment below. Also that you mentioned slowing down, not just pressing the shutter release all over the place, essentially being a bit more mindful about what you are seeing vs what might make a good image. Brilliant bit of insight for me, thank you so much!
" Don't think a good view is a good image ", I love this
I like birch and also the old gnarly oak trees. They have so much unique character.

How do you not have several millions of subscribers?
Because he is not doing instagram photography :D and that is what I like about him

Aspens are the most beautiful tree for me. The white bark and bright yellow leaves are breathtaking and the silver birches are awesome too! Great video!
Plus the amazing sound the wind in the leaves makes while filming 🤗
Beautiful images man and killer video as always!
I love that you teach rather than just showing off work like other UA-camrs. Thank you
Here in North America, we don’t have Silver Birches. But the Quaking Aspens are, in my mind, just as beautiful to photograph in autumn.
Oh but we do have the Paper Birch! They look a lot like Silver Birches.

Its Autumn here in New Zealand. Watching some of your Autumn photos for Inspiration.
I love willow trees. Especially when the sun is behind them.
By far the best photography content and insight on UA-cam. Thank you 🙏

Wow, what a beautiful landscape !!!!!°😍 Really amazing shots!!!
Favorite tree for photography is the aspen. Especially against a background of dark pines.
Tip 7 was the best tip of all. I had not thought of that perspective. Thanks for your insights.
I totally agree silver birch trees are my favorite as well.
Silver birch and beech trees for me. They’re also great for mushrooms! 🍄
Great tips Nigel! My favourite is # 7, take time on composition. Thanks !
I struggle with contrast and depth when I shoot trees and forests, useful tips
I haven’t been able to travel this year owing to the pandemic and a ear issue but have been able to take pictures like your leaf one, there’s opportunities everywhere you don’t always have to travel, perhaps not being able to travel will make us appreciate when we can.
5:25 Yes, silver birch is a favourite. Here in Finland I also like the Scots Pine, especially when they get a bit gnarly near coastal rocky outcrops.
I like the way you show me composition. Thank you!
Drone footage just amazing. Love the tips. Another great video. Thank you for sharing 😊
I just LOVE oak trees, they are just so beautiful in the autumn and they have so much character in them. I am also a woodworker and oak wood is just amazing for woodworking.
Hyper useful and well-delivered. THANK YOU!
That "time-travel" bouncing from the field to the studio was seamless and kind of trippy... thank you for the tips and wonderful photography. :-)

Thank you for your tips, Nigel. I get a lot of knowledge from your video. Have a nice day.
Great tips, ND! Thank you and enjoy the autumn, man!
As always excellent and useful Thank you so much Nigel
Brilliant video, thanks Nigel.
Aspen are my favorite trees, but for the same reason as the silver Birch!
Great tip with the colour wheel... Love your channel 👍
Hey Nigel, thank you for these tips. Autumn's beauty can be so overwhelming that we need a reminder to slow down, take the time to find the perfect location/composition.... and most of all enjoy yourself during this magical time of the year 🍂
Good video as always! Thanks for sharing. One of the tips that has been hitting home for me a lot lately is really needing to slow down when I shoot.
The leaves are changing and they are starting to look wonderful...love the wellies by the way :)
It certainly has been a strange year! Some time in the mountains and wandering lakes is exactly what I need. Off to plan my weekend for just that! Thanks for the inspiration.
Amazing video! Thank you, as always, useful and pleasant to watch!
Mate this was an amazing video. Thanks for the great content!
Fall is the BEST time of year. Thanks for the tips friend.
Favorite tree: Shagbark Hickory
And awesome video - thank you very much for all your hard work!
Thank you so much Nigel for your precious tips !! Your images are so amazing , i work for see and make the same ( with my sensibility ...)

Great video. Very good tipps. Thanks I will try.
Tip 7 is key! Thank you!

Encourage him.., he is trying his best.. 🙏
I like the idea of not just looking for those sweeping shots and again, simplify your compositions for a visual impact. Thanks for the reminder Nigel.
Take Nigel's word for it. If you have a scene yo want to photograph at maximum Fall color you need to check every day.
Thanks a lot. A lot to learn from this video.
One Favourite tree of mine is maple 🍁 especially Japanese maples. So glad your channel popped up in my feed 🙏🏼
If you haven’t heard of an arbutus tree, they look pretty magical - Victoria island BC Canada
Recently found your channel as I’m hoping to get back into photography.. great work. Just bought your Calendar by means as a small token of support. Look forward to watching more!
Thanks👍📷

Ha ha / that still happens a lot!

Thank you Nigel! 🙏🏻
Amazing suggestions! Thank you
About small things: autumn is also the time for taking photos of mushrooms!, so, more details on that forest floor ;)
Arbutus trees here on the west coast of British Columbia are a treat to photograph as well :)
Thanks Nigel. 😊
Just want to get out now for some autumn images. Very motivating video with very practical tips. Thanks Nigel.
Thanks again lots to think about.
Awesome! Thank you. Cheers from Norway
Great video as always, has to be the great oak for me!
Beautiful photos Nigel! Have learned much and appreciate you sharing your insights with us.
Always many good and useful tips. Thanks 🙂 I love go out in autumn and take photo.
Thank you Nigel for these tips.
Aspens and Maples are beautiful during the fall but I really love cottonwoods and willows during the summer!
Watching you video an hear the question about favourite tree --> for me definitely pine and oak !!! best regards, ralph
For similar reasons as you've mentioned regarding birch trees, aspen are my favorite for Fall photography.
"...don't get snap happy." Love it! LOL keep on keepin' on
Well, we MASSIVELY appreciate your videos...thanks Nigel!

I love birch trees in Northern Michigan. And the Fall colors in the leaves of sugar maples. Unbelievably rich and vibrant color!
Great tips, many congrats!!!
Thank you, Nigel. Great tips! I’m so excited for this season! Greetings from Canada 🇨🇦
Another must see video for aspiring photographers, totally agree about the Silver Birch tree too. Thanks for the great content Nigel.
@10:55, amazing how much you have recovered the highlights! Lovely shot!
Thank you Nigel for another great video. Wonderful tips and reminders. I ALWAYS enjoy and appreciate your videos...
I have to agree , Silver birches are my fave tree , they work well all year round , fresh vibrant greens in the spring and fantastic shapes and purple branches in the winter
