LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY - Never miss an opportunity to shoot!

- Never miss an opportunity to shoot when doing Landscape Photography. A second video from Tasmania, this time from Cradle Mountain. The idea here is to take your camera with you all the time to be ready to shoot what you see, by taking your camera with you, even on a walk. Not all walks need to turn into Photoshoots, but the most important part of being a photographer... is taking photographs! Gof or a walk and take your camera with you. It will enjoy the exercise!
Really enjoyed that Ewan. Really great photography content is so thin on the ground on UA-cam, so when yours pop up on the recommendation list, it’s like Christmas morning. The film met all the usual expectations in storytelling and the images were sublime. As others have said, the waterfall image was gorgeous, but it was the.sprinkling of Ewan magic in the processing that pulled out it’s true potential.
Hey Simon - why thank you buddy. I always tell you that it means a lot coming form anyone who takes the time to comment, but as we have come to know each other more... your feedback is especially regarded. I wasnt sure how this one would come over on vid tbh. Glad you enjoyed it. Speak soon. Regards, Ewan
So good to see you’re back Ewan! Your work, and generosity sharing your thoughts on composition and image making, is always a delight and inspirational. Nice one.
Hey Rolf - I appreciate that. Thanks very much for your continued support and your feedback! Glad to be back too!
Regards,Ewan
Your photographs have a quiet beauty about them that makes them absolutely compelling. I always look forward to a new video Ewan. Thank you.
Thanks very much Charlie. Im glad they still hit the mark after so long an absence. Thanks for your patience with me! Regards, Ewan
Awesome video as always. Images were great, but the waterfall shot belongs in a frame.
Many thanks indeed. Appreciate your interaction. Regards, Ewan
Wow that image at 7:46 2 shot pano was just amazing, really appreciate the way you present your videos and provide inspiration to us also many thanks for the tips you provide
Thanks Ross, and you are more than welcome! Kind regards, Ewan
Ewan, followed you for years, so happy to see your videos again, not only are you my (well our, my wife too) favourite photographer, but, i think, that photo of the waterfall is literally the nicest photo of a waterfall ive ever seen, coming from a 15+yr photographer. Greetings from scotland, and hope you are keeping well.
Oh wow, what feedback. Thats a couple of lovely things to say. Why thank you very much. Kindest regards, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages I'd hazard a guess that you're not fully aware of the positive impact you have on the lives of many.
We haven't picked up a camera in over a year, we both work from home and that escape to the Highlands of Scotland for 24hrs to take photos and enjoy the scenery was a pivotal coping mechanism in our lives and it's been missing sorely. This video, coupled with the greyness overhead, has rekindled that want to go pack the camera bags and go.
There's something about the pace of your videos, the honesty of them, the considered explanations, and the quality of your final thoughtful light graphs, that really resonates.
We do truly hope you're doing well, the past couple of years I've not felt so well, and there's something about the way I'm feeling that I perhaps recognise in you. So good health to you, and hope to see you getting the time to enjoy the wonderful setting you have available some more.
The first image is a real stunner with such great mood and framing....
Thanks very much. Much appreciated! Ewan
Lovely to watch (and hear the thoughts of) a real craftsman at work. A great watch and listen, and some beautiful images, thank you.
Hey Mark. Really appreciate your kind comments and feedback. Indebted! Ewan
enjoyed this top draw photography cant wait for the next adventure tnx so much for sharing
Thank you and you are more than welcome. Regards, Ewan
Stop procrastinating Ewan and just get the videos out, they are lush!
The LE boat house is stunning not that the others aren't, it just has everything. Tazzie was on my list but mainly for golf at Barnboogie dunes but the camera might work too!
I've something deep (for me!) to say but Ill save it for the Torridon video, so get it done!
LOL - Eek - what could that be!? Thanks for your feedback and was great to finally meet you in person in Torridon too. Best wishes -Ewan
A sincere "Thank You !", I'm always inspired by your work.
You are welcome and thansk for the encouragement. Regards, Ewan
Great to have you back Ewan. Photographs are beautiful, I love the one of the boat shed in particular.
Hey there. Thanks very much. the boat shed may be my fave of the three also! Kind regards. Ewan
Looking forward to seeing you again after this great video at Cradle Mountain. Always an enjoyable watch Ewan, much appreciated.
Hey John. Appreciate that, and thanks heaps! Regards, Ewan
Great photography video on great locations! It's ever a special day, when a new video from you comes out Ewan!
Hey Frank. Thats very kind indeed. Humbled my friend. Best wishes form NZ! Ewan
8:02 very moody, 20:45 stunning image love the tones, 27:40 beautiful image 29:00 beautiful balanced image, thanks for sharing
Hey Tony - Thanks very much mate. You are welcome! Regards, Ewan
Wonderful as always, absolutely fantastic location
Thanks John. Glad it came out well. Next locations... Torridon and Skye (Scotland) Wet wet wet and windy though! Regards, Ewan
Loved that Ewan...thanks for taking us all along with you...fantastic images as always.
Cheers Tim - much appreciated! = ) Best wishes from NZ Ewan
Just finished watching Ewan, fantastic stuff, loved the boat house pano and the waterfall image, thanks for sharing.
HI John - Thanks for finishing it off and commenting. These vids are maybe a bot long, but only post once a month. Glad it wasnt too long for you! Best wishes, Ewan
Stunning location, lovely shots. Its great to see a wee walking, talking, Irn Bru can oot and aboot in the big wide world 😉
LOL, thanks very much! Bahaha. There may be many that don't understand the complexities of that statement. Appreciated ! Regards, Ewan
Great images & video ❤ good to see you back doing your master piece of landscape art & information. 🤗
Thanks Michael. Good to be back too as i actually really enjoy doing these. Ewan
Great to see another Vlog Ewan, great images with nice moody skies 👌
Hey Garry, thanks man. Good to have you along for the journey too! Ewan
Great to see you out with another video Ewan! Such a great location and wonderful shots. I love the slower pace and thoughtfulness of your videos. Very relaxing and enjoyable to watch. Your process of shooting these pano's is well worth the effort and time to include in this video. Thanks!! Keep up the great work and great images. Cheers!
Many thanks Alan. Im glad they hit the mark. Its probably the only way i know how to do them, whilst being myself! Regards, Ewan
Great to see you back on UA-cam Ewan, missed your videos.
Many thanks. good to be back too! Im procrastinating making the next one as the topic... is challenging and may cause a rift in the community.... Kind regards and thanks for hangin in there with me! Ewan
Welcome back mate 👍👏 looking forward to this
Why, thank you! Kindest regards, Ewan
Same as other comments here, it's alway great when your channel notification pops up.
Awesome. Thanks Stuart! Regards, Ewan
Awesome work as usual Ewan! Thank you so much for sharing.
Thank Tania - you are more than welcome! Regards, Ewan
Beautifully presented, and captured Ewan. Thank You.
Cheers Andrew, ill get back to where i was at in a few vids time. Man alive they are difficult to do. The timeline on this one was complex as well! Maybe too complex, but the narration and timing of the looped and cut and spliced' music is important for me for the over all production. Best wishes A Ewan
Really like the first pano, well thought out. I always struggle with aspect ratio so look forward to more videos including this. Tasmania is a very special place, like NZ and it is always a privilege to create images that reflect that. Lovely work 👏
Thanks very much. Ill be including info on creating aspect ratio panos for both Medium format as well as full frame and c size cameras, (as the latter two have the same aspect ratio). Regards Ewan
Thanks for coming back! Missed your content!
Thanks very much Steven. Good to be back!
Ewan
Another enjoyable and informative video Ewan. Beautiful images.
Many thanks indeed. Much appreciated. Kind regards, Ewan
Excellent as always Ewan, beautiful images
Hey David - many thanks my friend! Regards, Ewan
Great video, thanks. Sitting in the Outer Hebrides waiting for a storm to blow in, this is a good reminder how great those dark and moody images look! ( although I may have to wait for this rain to ease !)
LOL, absolutely know what you mean. I think the longest i have bunkered down is about 5 days. (Im a slow learner) LOL. Good luck with your shoot! Ewan
I know it must be difficult but more content would be greatly appreciated because it's so damn good. Thomas Heaton might have some tips and tricks for you.
Hi Tim - thanks for the feedback and your communication here. I agree, more content would be good for the algorythm. I have the utmost respect for creators like @Thomas Heaton who put out well thought out content, week after week after week! Kudos! Kind regards and thanks again , Ewan
Great vid & photos. Really enjoyed the views. Thank you for sharing them.
Thank you Thomas. Really appreciate your feedback and you taking the time ot comment. Its always appreciated! Kind regards, Ewan
Super beautiful photographs. Would like to visit those places.
Thanks . Yes I am really lucky to be able to visit these locations with relative ease, living in NZ! Regards, Ewan
Loved watching the journey. You achieved some great shots on this outing.
Many thanks indeed. Kindest regards form NZ Ewan
Awesome content and wonderful company as always Ewan. Loved every second and feel inspired to find a landscape that would benefit from a panoramic touch. Have a great week 🙏🙏🙏
Hey Izzie, thanks very much buddy! NIce coming form you, as you know too, just how difficult these vlogs can be to put together! Cheers, Ewan
So great to see another video from you! It’s also fun to watch you in some places I’ve been, and see your thought process.
Aspect ratio though - I think you’ve forgotten something… everybody has a hallway😂
LOL - Hey Kerri. Thanks very much. Boy did i get a bolocking rom the bus driver! And the hallway... just you wait - it maybe makes an appearance in the Orkney/ Scotland video!
Some great shots Ewan, lovely location too.
Stunning location indeed, and thank you for your feedback. Much appreciated. Ewan
Great Stuff Ewan, I love how you can visualise those Panos before taking them 🙌
Hi James - it takes some practice and ill do a vlog soon on how i visualise them, and how i frame them with my focal length selection, rather than just cropping them to a pano format in camera or in post. Appreciate your support James. Kindest regards. Ewan
Great video so far Ewan, but I will watch it in full tomorrow.
Thanks John. hope its ok til the end!... Appreciate your support. Regards, ewan
Amazing images Ewan!! 👌
Many thanks Andrew. Regards, Ewan
Outstanding video and images. Love your detailed explanation on every shot, but you lost me on the math lol.😂. So happy to see your content again! 👏👏
LOL, sorry. I appreciate you reaching out and leaving a comment. Ill do a vid on the maths side of it with a better explanation one time! Kind regards, Ewan
Lovely video but fabulous images Ewan
Thanks very much Andrew! Appreciated. Regards, Ewan
Hi Ewan: Another wonderful video. As always, I enjoy the images you have created, but more importantly to me is your explanation of the circumstance for taking the shot and your thought process in composing the image. I am looking forward to your video with my friend, Sam Bose. Keep well. . . Keith Pinn (Canada)
Hey Keith. Thanks very much and you are of course... more than welcome. Yeah... the video with Sam - hmmmm... It was a frenetic day! Good fun though and Sam is a lovely chap. Regards - Ewan
Good to see you back in action Ewan. Hope you enjoyed your time in Tassie. Simon
Thanks Simon, Tassie was awesome and will have to get back at some point, as its only a hop skip and jump. Regards, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages Please let me know Ewan. I would love to catch up on your next visit. Cheers
Great images really enjoyed the video
Hi Eugene. Thanks very much. Glad you enjoyed it! Regards, Ewan
A sunny Sunday afternoon in Germany becomes even more beautiful: you have posted a new video! Thanks again for the very entertaining and educational half hour...
And it's good that you left the "out-takes" in the video.
Some people think that it would be quick to create a video like this - but it is actually very demanding.
And thank you for such beautiful pictures again - you also meet my taste in the post-processing, which makes the landscapes something unique.
I'm already looking forward to the next video...greetings from the other side of the world and see you then!
Thanks Thomas. They sure are a lot of work. I do go over the top thought with cut and looped music, speed ramping of music and vid etc etc. 20 hours I reckon for the production of each video. Glad to have you along for this, and the next one. Regards Ewan
Beautiful images!!! Love your presentations. Thank you for showing the world what you do and how you do it. Cheers.
You are welcome and thank you very much indeed. Much appreciated. Regards, Ewan
I look forward to your videos because of the artistic quality of your work and to see you shooting one of my favourite destinations is a bonus as you get the shots l would like to get but am just not mobile enough, Lovely shots capturing the climate and mood,
Hello there. Thats some lovely feedback. Thank you. The premise of this channel was to show people things they may not be able to see without YT and if i have done that for you with this vid... then im stoked! Kind regards Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages Ewan l a m so lucky l can still get to most places l just cannot get the best composition available to position myself where l need to but blessed l am to still get out to these stunning locations yes your channel certainly serves its intended purpose keep it up👍
Awesome @@isotechimages.9130 . Awesome
Great vlog - love Tassie; especially love your photos. Thank you for sharing and for keeping it real and including when things don't always work perfectly. Your narrative, explaining what you are doing is really helpful. Looking forward to more :).
Thank you very much. I think its something not included enough in vlogs as it is all part of the process, and no shoot is without its difficulties to overcome! Tassie is lovely and thank you! Regards, Ewan
Please, please don't leave us waiting for so long for another video!
LOL. Soon. I promise. Regards Ewan
Hi Ewan! I was there the last week end of August! I love that place, i love the images you captured. The truly show off that special place.
Re staying on the path…..yep, it is somewhat frustrating but i understand why 👍🏻
I did get a few shot in as well, … but kept to the path😂
Thanks Phil. I saw your posts from there indeed! Yeah, i get but didnt get the rat from the bus driver who in no uncertain terms... put me in my place. However... I have just been to the Ring of Brodgar, which is 5000 years old, a neolithic and historically significant site, and too, is a World Hertitage site, and yet... you are allowed and encouraged to walk around and explore. I dont get the inconsistencies across the WHT sites globally. Put up signs i say! LOL
Regards, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImagesI do agree, but there is a distinct passion & protective attitude in Tasmania. I found that some of the bus drivers are very passionate about protecting the park. They do have to contend with some very interesting ( diplomatic term) tourists from OS. I’ve seen what they have done in parts of NZ & Aus.
I’m glad you got the shot👍🏻
great vid as always
Many thanks Steven. hope you are well. Regards, Ewan
Another great watch and an even better set of images Ewan. Thanks for your generosity of time to make them and of spirit in sharing valuable compositional advice for panoramas and using light. Really enjoyed this half hour and I look forward to seeing Scotland next. Take care.
LOL, Thanks Tony - no pressure huh!? I hope Scotland vlog works out, as i never shoot enough B roll, which is why it takes me so long to pull anything from them! I appreciate your support and feedback though. Best wishes- Ewan
Good to see you back Mate, where have you been ?
Hey Brett - finally getting to the point I have cleared enough space and time to do more. Good to be back. Ive been mainly in NZ, but in the states acouple of times, Aussie a couple of times, London, Scotland etc etc. Not as far and as wide as you though! Hope you are well! Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages good stuff mate. Look forward to your videos. Yeah I haven’t sat still much in the last couple years 🤣 I don’t get a lot of time for video stuff but try to sneak the odd one in. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Glad to see you posting more regular content Ewan, that last image was stunning, dare I say, 'painterly'. It would be interesting to see how you process these files.
Hi Chris. Thanks mate. I have a few people contacting me by email asking me to do anothe rpost processing vid, which ill do once i get the next few out of the way first. Thanks for your encouragement. Regards, Ewan
Awesome work as usual Ewan! Great to see you back making content again. I was surprised that was Tasmania, like you said in the video it looks very much like south island NZ or Scotland.
Hey there. Lovely t be back into it too! Ive missed getting the time to make them! It certainly is like other parts of the world indeed! Lovely spot though! Regards, Ewan
Stunning photos as always and great video! Thanks for sharing. I had planned on revisiting sycamore gap and attempting a panno the way you just showed as my last trip was bad weather, with wife and dogs limited, but sadly just heard some selfish **** just cut the tree down overnight. Really interested to see your workflow and processing technique as your images always pop, especially the white border around them. Did get a little lost when you started with the aspect ratio maths though. 2:1 i got ( i think) so will give that a go.
Thanks Chris. LOL yes the maths - Ill do a vid on it at some point. Its a bit like the habtual maths with reduction in loght with f stops. I dont agree with the maths that apps give you. The values of light are always half and double. Theres another video too! = )
Really enjoy your videos. Would yiu ever consider doing a video on how you edit?
Hey Marcus, I am getting quite a few emails and requests for that very thing, and whilst i have done it before in this vidoe ua-cam.com/video/NnKEeKNShkw/v-deo.html
i may well do another. I have a couple fo vids to get done before i csn do this but would be a good opportunity to do this once i have a 'confrontational' video published which should be in a week or two. Regards, Ewan
Just another quick statement, the waterfall image should be hanging in a Gallery so everyone could view this amazing image, it's a credit to you Ewan.
Thanks Ross. Kind feedback indeed! Appreciate your support and humbling feedback. Regards, Ewan
The boat shed is used in milky way nightscapes too
Yes, I have a client in Australia that specialises in Milky way and astro. She has done one there i think and i know its popular when the MW is in the right location. Regards, Ewan
Some beautiful moody images there Ewan, a pleasure as always to see you out and about with your camera.
Did you detect any compromise to the image in the f22 shot, It looked good on the film but I personally get nervous (and chicken out) about going above f16.
Hi David - appreciate your feedback and thanks! I think any compromise to teh image would have come from using a moving bridge as my tripos. Generall when i shoot with Medium Format - f22 is still in the sweet spot with MF as the f22 is the f16/ f18 equivalent, on accountvof the light gathering abilities of the big sensor. These lenses actually choke down to f32 and f45 on some and even there - they dont relaly become affected int he same way as they do, say wide open. I feel that longer exposure times work in the same way as pixel shift and improve the image often. Neother do i like things too too crisp and shrp off the bat. I like to have more control over the output than that. Good question though. Dont be afraid of f16+ I have images shot at f32 that have won National Geographic awards, and I sell them printed at 1.6m long. Regards, Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages Thanks Ewan, I am shooting medium format myself so I just need to relax and do what I think is needed. The worst that can happen is that I bugger up an opportunity for a shot but I'll never find out what the camera is properly capable of till I try. I've got much braver on ISO having found how well it handles noise, now it's aperture's time. Don't suppose your thinking of doing a processing vid? I'd love to know how you get that lovely soft, dark and warm feel to your images.
Hey @@davidireland1460 . if its fuji or Hasselblad, they both use Hassleblad (Fujinon) lenses, and are capable of much more that what we assume. I play with f stop over iSO tbh.
@@EwanDunsmuirImagesThanks Ewan. Appreciate your help very much. 👍
