Hi Ian, a fantastic video, buddy! I liked especially how you used the sky as negative space to get this minimalistic style. Awesome! In general, you got some really great shots 😉 Nice greetings, Christian
I agree. All photography is a form or art (or artistic expression). Long exposure and or minimalist photography is an expression of that ‘art’ nothing more, nothing less. Some people calling their photographs ‘fine art’ is kinda ‘pretentious’ it tries to rise and set itself ‘above’ other expressions or genres. As something better’ When it is not. It is just another style/type of photograph(y). Some like long exposure/minimalist type photos others don’t. Just a matter of preference. Nothing more. Nothing less.
I can understand your viewpoint but art is what boils down to your own preferences and everyone is entitled to their own expression, ( one mans preferences is another mans poison!). We are allowed to make our impressions, visually/vocally, freely. Give credit where it's due, give constructive criticism when felt required.
@@andyblessett1951 I think we both agree on that. That is what I said in more plain language. My point was just call it ‘long exposure’ and or ‘minimalist’ Just like we call seascape - seascape. Or Landscape. Or Street/urban. No need to give ‘Long exposure/minimalist’ photography another name I.e ‘fine art’ to do so is to suggest other forms of photography are ‘lesser’ more ‘rough’ There is is far too much pretentiousness in this world as it is.
Like I mentioned in the video, I certainly wouldn't tag my own work with the term fine art, but I have no issues if other wish to do so, its all down to personal taste 👍
@@peter-robinson I would never call my photos "Fine Art", but after 50ys of taking photos, I certainly do have a "Fine" collection of "Crap" photos!!, having said that, I do have some that I regard as quite "Nice"! I'm still trying to improve the quality of my efforts. That'll be fine enough for me. Have a good day!
Just found this video and was intrigued, off to Wales tomorrow hoping to get some good snow photography shots, am new to much of this long exposure, it was a really good video and many thanks for sharing and to be honest you are the first person I've come across who put in the description which ND filters were used. Not many do that If I may ask though, I can understand long exposure for sea shots to get the silky effect but why use them landscape shots unless you were making the clouds silky Many thanks
Did you have to fix the converging lines in post production as you mentioned in the video? I liked the images especially the black and white of the phone masts. (or whatever they were).
Ian, It is a pity that the jetmag-pro filter system doesn't provide an adapter ring for the XT-3 standard 18-55 kit lens. Are you aware of any alternative? I also note that apparently you can't use a lens hood with these and similar filters. Do you find this an issue for landscape photography? Lastly perhaps you (or a reader) can advise me regarding my 55-200 fuji lens. When pointed straight down the lens extends to approximately the 150mm position. Is there anyway to prevent this without resorting to taping it in position?
You could buy a generic step up ring say from 58 to 67 or 72 which would make the NISI adapter rings fit to the 18-55. I never use a lens hood, I just use my hand if needed. Sorry Ive never used the 55-200 so cant comment there, maybe someone else can answer this 👍
@@ian_worth Thank you for your response. I hadn't thought of the possibility of a 3rd party step-up adaptor. Doh! I have now discovered that the 55-200 issue was caused by the weight of the lens hood. I'd never noticed it before photographing heavily lit horizontal surfaces. I'll need to figure out another way to reduce flare.

Lovely and nice to see some light
Glad you enjoyed!
I like where this is going...
Thanks
Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching! 👍
What type of vlog camera set up do you use? Great video full of good tips and advice, awesome images also, fine art ha ha.
I'm using the dji osmo action 5 and my fuji xh2 for the video
Hi Ian,
At 2:40, did you consider taking a shot as the ship passed behind the beacon? It looked kinda cool to me.

Shooting seascapes in Monterey, CA area in December so will be trying some of these tips.
Awesome 👍

Thanks so much, Yes I did correct the verticals
I always thought that Fine Art Photography was any image you wanted to hang on the wall.

What is the NiSi filter kit you use, I find NiSi's website incredibly confusing interns of trying to figure out what you need?
It's the Nisi jetmag pro landscape kit 👍
Hi. Do you use noise reduction on those long exposures?
No, not on these shots 👍
What's the app you're using called to calculate exposure?
Photo pills
photo pills
try to use less seconds exposure,you are missing the feeling of moovement
Usually, I prefer shutter speeds at around 1/10 to 1/3 but this video is about long exposures 👍
