Started using the Sony BT shutter remote and love it. No more trying to anticipate that 2-5 second timer and instead just fire away, at will, with the remote. Love it.
Bought the NRS boundary socks based on your recommendation awhile back. Just got back from shooting waterfalls in Pennsylvania and I cannot say enough great things about the boundary socks. Kept my feet warm and most importantly, dry. Thanks, Nick!
Awesome Nick. I have a pair of waterproof socks that have Merino wool on the inside that keep me dry and warm. Also that Bluetooth remote is a game changer for me. Love using that.
Three things..1. Your free YT content has been an inspiration for years. Thank you. 2. I’ve been meaning for years to buy those water socks. 3. No shower cap in your bag for seascapes or waterscapes?
Awesome video Nick! I can see how these items would make ocean photography that much more enjoyable. I’m going to be looking into the filter system for sure. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us!!
FYI for sensor cleaning, many mfrs want you to actually turn off the camera, and for some models this is preferred (those that don't have a shutter that comes down when a lens is removed). But for the most part, I would just turn off the camera versus going into a sensor cleaning mode. Nikons will lock the IBIS motors when the camera is off, but I've heard that Canon R cameras do not so perhaps for Canon you should leave it on and go into the cleaning mode.
Hey Nick, great ideas! The boundary socks are a brilliant suggestion. I've been researching waterproof hunting boots for when I'm photographing water fowl. These look like a better solution. Hope your back recovers. Take care!
Great video! Just ordered the socks, spikes, wipes, remote and boot dryer! Looking forward to working with you at Out of Oregon. Definitely agree with the comments below about coffee. Always bring a pour over kit and an amazing thermos.
I like your videos a lot and I have an idea that might get a lot of views. Can you please make a video for landscape lenses on a budget? I’m not talking about super cheap stuff but less than $2,000 per lens.
Thank you so much for explaining how to use boundary socks! I bought the ones with shoe/souls built in, but never use them. They're clumsy and hard to change in/out of in the field. Sock and shoe suggestion is priceless. Will be checking out the interchangeable souls.
Thanks, this is timely, I’m registered for a workshop on the Oregon Coast next month and have a new shopping list, which will include new footwear, Muckboots will stay home. Have been using RRS spikes for a long time, best option for almost all surfaces (except polished floors).
Thanks so much for your gear tips, Nick. I’ll be spending 10 days around Brookings and exploring the Winchuk and Chetco soon. Your Kimtech wipes link is for the tissue box option. You also showed individual packets. These would make the most sense for me when I’m out in adverse conditions. Can you point me to a link for the drying wipes you used in packets?
I have to agree that graduated ND filters are perhaps a thing of the past especially with the photo processing technology we have. Now, if you're not doing post processing perhaps and just using OOC JPEGs, then maybe use one since you won't be processing your images through a RAW processor, but if you are going to, then it's wise to NOT use at the time of capture them because you can create the effect later in processing, and it's the one time I would say that I tell people you're better off doing graduated ND filter effects (to balance out exposure) in post rather than in camera, because if you do it in camera (as mentioned) it's burned into the image and very hard or impossible to remove later. Easy to add in post processing, hard to remove if you do it in camera and don't like it. You might also be able to ge away with a graduated ND filter (although I wouldn't do it anyway) is if the horizon line is completely flat and you don't have anything that passes through the horizon line... then MAYBE, but I'd still probably not use one and just do two or more exposures and blend.
Hey man. Great video. Hope you don't mind me saying that your posture in this video tells me that you are/were in quite a bit of back pain. Keep the videos coming. I'll be sure to get a pair of the Korker wading boots.
Sony's remote control is great and I have kase filters for over a year and a half now and am very happy with them so I strongly recommend these filters. Okay, they are a bit more expensive, but in my eyes they are absolutely the best filters on the market And nice to see you're on your way back. ❤️
On the footwear point i have Reef Shoes which are really light and drain really quickly. I use in conjunction with Sharkskin socks though they don't have the tight seal around the calf. The set up is warm
Just bought the boot dryer for my wellies, works great. I found the stability better, when the boots are on the machine, if the calf section is rolled back on itself to make the boot shorter overall. Thank you for the recommendation. Does Adam Gibbs know about this?
Nice !.. Thank you for the awesome video and tips. Yet, I'm surprised you dont have any soft/hard grade ND in your set and feel so reluctant with NDs. I understand your view on NDs but at the same time the use of ND filter is so awesome for playing with long exposures and all the water effects it can bring that bracketing won't give. There grads can be useful sometime there to even the sky in combination with a regular ND and is more flexible than adding a CPL instead. This is also why I would tend to prefer the squares in some cases, all inconveniences aside (fingerprints, delicate handling, yes, they're more pain), since magnetic or screw-in are way more convenient and often one 10 Stop ND is all we need for a lot of fun long exposure effects. But I still like the squares, first because there are different size sets according to your camera (you should see the miniature yet awesome NISI ND kit sets for the Ricoh GR and GR II, they'll work on that, but also on my Fuji X70 and will also fit all the Fuji X100 serie with the cheap 42mm filter adapter), and then because the advantages of the squares are that you can usually also put 2 or 3 on the filter mount, allowing for fun combinations (That you also can with Mgtic and screw-in too), but moreover it allows to properly position any soft or hard grad filter one would use in combination with other plain NDs, which you can't with circulars. Another money consideration is price /usefulness ratio VS circulars screw-in, if one would think of going that route. Circulars screw-in usually fit one lens diameter and that's it. You could use reducers etc. to adapt but it's a pain and more stuff, where, although usually way pricier for a good quality large square set, it will have the advantage to fit on most lens you have, disregarding of your lens filter thread size, but you indicate that your magnetic fit all your lenses, it seems nice, and I'll have to look into it. Altogether, an expensive filter set is not a light decision, and if one intend to play with many lenses and filters, it might be another consideration to take into account. Time should really be spent on comparing what fits best for one's needs, and with all filters, stay away from the ones that will give your pictures a strong color cast, they're often the cheap ones, although there are exceptions.
Some thing to consider is that the magnetic system I use uses magnetic step up rings. Which means that I only have one of each filter, and they fit every lens because every lens is equipped with a magnetic receiver that stays on the lens. One reason I don’t like square filters Aside from them being larger and requiring a large mounting apparatus is that they often can have light leaks which is very inconvenient for long exposures unless you have some kind of foam seal around the outside edge of the filter. You never ever get that with a magnetic or screw on filter…. Even with Long Exposure‘s of multi minutes I still would not ever use a graduated filter simply because those are typically water scenes and if I was to dark in the sky I would end up just blowing highlights in the water instead. I would much prefer to either expose for highlights in that long exposure or take a darker image for the sky. I often do not use the sky portion of those long exposures because of the lack and loss of details and textures. In my opinion it’s always best to make those critical decisions after the fact when it can be redone in post rather than in the field while looking at a baseball card sized Image on the back of your camera
@@NickPage Thank your reply Nick. Yes, that's actually a nice approach too. For very long exposure I use circulars too, but sometimes I had good results with the squares and a grad when the sky that was little bright to even it with the rest of the exposure and it also worked well without having to much light leak. Anyway, thank you for this interesting insight...
Nick, what filter case are you using for your “case” filters? That looks like just what I need to ditch the heavy leather case that came with my filters. Love your work. Love your videos. Love your photo style. Keep it up and feel better.
Hey Nick, can u elaborate a bit on how u use the socks and mud boots combos together. So from what I can tell, u slip on the NRS socks over regular socks and then u wear mud boots under. I presume u keep another pair of shoes handy which u wear after you are done with photography? Also, do u roll up the pants? Or do u let those get drenched. Still trying to figure out the best way to do this. When I was in SF last time, I rolled up my pants and shot bare feet. Couple of hours later my feet were numb :(
I wear a normal pair of wool socks under the NRS socks.. then just any old pair of shoes over the boundary socks, just for traction and comfort, and to protect the boundary sock from tears. For travel I find a pair of light mesh tennis shoes 1 size larger than normal work great,... they dry fast, they are cheap so you are not destroying a good pair of hiking boots. I sometimes roll up my pantleg so my pants stay dry.. sometimes I dont if I am wearing quick drying hiking pants.
Still annoys me that I cant get those boundary socks in Europe. Guess I will have to be on the lookout when I am coming over to the US again in December.
It's funny I thought that before getting the set, and actually have a pouch similar to Nick's that I thought I'd use instead (I got it from amazon I think), but I clip the case to the shoulder of my backpack so I can always access the filters (I do vlogging as well as photography) and now I actually really like the case, and like how sturdy it is while still being fairly light.
Hey Nick! I actually took the same exact boot drier on my trip to Iceland. I didn't use it a lot, but the two times that I did, it sure made a huge difference. Great idea to go with a micro fiber large towel and not just a small cloth for shooting waves, or waterfalls. I've also been using the Kimtech wipes since I saw another of your gear videos from a couple of years ago. The only doubt that I have is about the spikes. My tripod is a ProMediaGear which already comes with spikes, but they are probably half the size or less than the ones you showed here.... so what would you do? anyway, thank you once again. I'd love to bump into you someday...
Nick, great content as always! One question - do you, or how do you use a lens hood with the Kase filter adapter? I use freewell and that's the only bug I can see in the system. TIA.
I've got the Kase system and there's a different adapter ring you can get that you can attach a magnetic rubber lens hood to, which works pretty well. Or if you have the same size filters as the lens the adapter is so small you can just use your normal lens hood.
I noticed you had a soft pouch for your Kase filters, where did you get it? My filter set only came with a rigid leather case. Good info. Hope your back is feeling better.
I know this os not a filter video but I'll take my chances and ask the community. I would love tp use circular filters but my wide lens (a tokina 16-28 2.8) cant get filters in the front. Ive bought the eos adapter with filtwrs but i dont feel comfortable with that solution. What do yo recomend? Shall i sell both and get a filter friendly lens? Get an f4? Im all ears
Dear Nick! Thank you for your videos - you make it great! Always waiting for new ones)) Unfortunately, I can't try Kase filters in my country - I'll have to order them from China. But in this regard, I had one difficulty. I can't check if there will be vignetting on Sony FE16-35 f2.8GM if I’ll buy filters with a diameter 82 mm? For example, if I want to put on 2 filters at once(ND+CPL). I want to know your opinion - may be it's better to buy 95mm Kase filter kit?
The boundary socks don't seem to come in normal shoe sizes, rather large and X-large. Do you have any advice on which size for a man with size 11 feet.
Thanks for the ideas. Nick, I bought the Kase filter set a few years back and love them. One question, my circular polarizer does not rotate. All my previous CPs rotated allowing me to see the filter darken the scene, this one does not. Are mine defective or is this a new way of doing polarization?
Other filters have to rotate because they are threaded onto the lens, but these you just rotate the entire filter, because they are magnetic. Turn the entire filter !
It’s definitely not a bad idea, I did not go one size up and I do run into some vignetting at 16 mm. But it’s pretty easy to deal with, I can either zoom in to 17, or just fix it in post.
@@NickPagedude resembling you was there. But he looked too angry to be you and I wasnt about to bother making a fuss. It's too early anyway. The colors have yet to turn
Just great bunch of common sense solutions that I didn’t know about thank you.
Great information to have thanks again. Now let's hope somebody drops out of your workshop next year so I can join haha
Also like Hot Hands hand warmers for colder days tucked in to gloves & boots.
Started using the Sony BT shutter remote and love it. No more trying to anticipate that 2-5 second timer and instead just fire away, at will, with the remote. Love it.
You couldn't be more right about the LONG spikes!
Loved to boot dryer idea. Most definitely will add that to my arsenal. Those Kim wipes will be added too! Thanks for the tips, Nick!

Maybe you could put a bayonet mount on the boot dryer and use it to dry the humidity out of your camera!! LOL Great tips.
Wow that boot dryer is a game changer!
I will have to find one....and find a place for it in my bags 😳
Link in the description below for the exact one I use

Individual Kimtech wipes. I have searched for individual wipes and cannot find these. Do you have a link? Thanks

Great video, Nick. Clarification, the NRA boundary socks...You wear a liner under them and boots or sneakers on top??
I just wear normal socks underneath and my boots over the top of them to protect the soles
I ordered the filter pouch. I don't see you you get the single Kimtech wipes that are a little thicker.
I have struggled to find it as well, definitely not on Amazon I will keep looking
@@NickPage Thanks!
Does that waterproof sock + sneaker combo work for winter seascapes when it's really cold or do you still use warm boots in those situations?
It does! Works great
Thanks for the ideas. Nick, I bought the Kase filter set a few years back and love them. One question, my circular polarizer does not rotate. All my previous CPs rotated allowing me to see the filter darken the scene, this one does not. Are mine defective or is this a new way of doing polarization?
Other filters have to rotate because they are threaded onto the lens, but these you just rotate the entire filter, because they are magnetic. Turn the entire filter !
Dry Guy!!!!!
why do you need a 6-stop circular polarizer when you already have both of them separately? Just stack them. Am I missing something?
It’s handy to not have to stack them sometimes. The more you stack the more vignetting you run into. It’s just handy to have them combined
Should your Kase filter size be one size larger than your lens to avoid filter vignettes?
It’s definitely not a bad idea, I did not go one size up and I do run into some vignetting at 16 mm. But it’s pretty easy to deal with, I can either zoom in to 17, or just fix it in post.
I bought the Kase filters but have to return it as it vignettes at 16 mm. Do you buy bigger than the lens size and then use step down rings?
I just deal with the vignetting, it’s gone by 17mm and if I have to shoot at 16 I can fix it in post
Having said that some people do get 95 mm so they can stack without running into vignetting
Does the protective round pouch that the filters go in come with the Kase filters???
