Of all the woodland photography UA-cam films I have seen over the past few years, this is probably the only one you need to watch - well planned with a tight structure, making the points economically without extraneous content and with good examples of photographs to reinforce the message. Much better to inspire people to go out and visit woodlands with their camera than many of the over long and aimless wandering I see in some other similar subject content - excellent stuff Nigel.
Good comment
very nice comment, fully support it!
Thanks Trevor - really appreciate that
I think I've hit the jackpot with this video, Cannock chase is my local woods, I was walking around yesterday looking for compositions and thinking what would nigel danson look for, and now I've come across this video Wow incredible thankyou so much
Few photographers manage to completely take my breath away as you do with your woodland photography, over and over. Thank you for sharing these tips in this video!
Thanks so much - I really appreciate that
Oh I am green with envy. Devon doesn't have any woodlands like that I have found. Plenty of Ivy on the trees & woodland floor with stinging nettles and brambles. Yes I have Wistmans wood but that is so very different. Fog never seems to turn up on a weekend, very inconsiderate. I will continue my search. I love the photo with the Oak, mist at 13.56 is spectacular.
I find woodland photography really difficult. I think that's because there's rarely an obvious subject to focus on, you have to look for really subtle aspects in the landscape. I often find most things look 'boring' on location, but when isolated, framed and post-processed, you can make simple images look nice. Great video!
I've just started photography about 2 months ago and I've just been learning so much from all your videos, Nigel. I watch one or two every morning with my coffee. Your content I find is very informative and just really relaxing and cozy to watch at the same time. Your contentment and passion for your life really shines through and I think that makes a great basis for teaching. Thanks for your work, mate :D
Thanks so much
I get that same feeling from his videos, he's so calm (unlike me) and I feel that I am just listening to an experienced friend talking about photography. I've learned a lot from Nigel's videos, and he always inspires me to get out and look for a photo opportunity.
Great video, love the tips and the amazing photos. Live shooting into the sun 👍👍 also like the idea of going back to the same area several times to see different composition ideas, tendencies here seems to always pursue new places. Thx for sharing
You're really inspiring to me, I just lost my mom who was my best friend and it really put me in a dark place, I haven't touched my camera since it happened due to depression. I came your across your channel and have been binge watching it! You make me really excited to get back out there😊😊 thank you so much!
I'm always disappointed with autumn as I know there's so much photography to be done but I always struggle to make good images. Thanks for these tips, they should make a difference for me 🤞🏻
Como on pal, just trying is good enough. Where I live we don-t even have a proper autumn haha.
Amazing video man, love all the detail and work you put into this!
I really appreciate that you show your images as nice-sized prints.
Really well designed in-field examples, especially showing how simple camera movements can drastically change a composition.
More stunning content Nigel. Given me the enthusiasm to get out into some of my local woods over the next week.
Stunning shots n video !!!!! GOD BLESS !!!!
Great video. Thanks Nigel. You're a great teacher.
Wonderful as always and loved the enchanted forest image. Thank you Nigel.
Excellent Video Nigel!!!!
I love woodland but like so many others I really struggle for compositions. But with your help I'm going to keep on trying. Thanks Nigel 👍
Nice take into the woodland. I never thought woodland photography is that beautiful. Thanks sir.
As has been said many times, this is without doubt the most helpful woodland video Iv seen, great jib Nigel
Amazing woodland especially the Groot tree ..... never seen such a beautiful tree with so much character .
Thanks for all the tips Nigel !
A wonderful video. The way you explain things is so clear and accessible. Thank you
Thanks Nigel, it is so inspiring to listen and see how you work to find the perfect composition. Thank you for sharing, always such good learning. It is so cool to hear on all the details.
Amazing shots Nigel,thanks for another awe inspiring video.❤️🙏
Nigel's tutorials are like accompanying him on one of his "journeys." The addition of his lovely music choices as well as his very soothing voice, reinforces the peaceful elements he brings to his compositions. After watching, I feel deeply renewed and calm. AND much more knowledgeable about photographing and editing woodlands.
What a great video - so helpful for tackling this beautiful but most challenging of genres. Thanks Nigel.
Brilliant video Nigel👍
Nice walk in the woods. Perfect music for Groot! Rock on!
I really appreciate when you teach on composition, one of the more difficult areas in photography. 👍
Great video Nigel, full of great tips and ideas. I love shooting woodlands but as you mentioned they are challenging to say the least. Can't wait to try out some of your suggestions the next time I'm out. Thanks for the great content and looking forward to next weeks video :)
Oh these photos are amazing!Thank u for your tips!Trees are my very favorite thing to capture!
Superb video Nigel , learned a lot watching it . Thx
Another great video Nigel. I've learnt a lot about woodland photography from this video.
Great video Nigel...not surprised you have so many subscribers. Congrats !
Thanks for sharing tips. That wandering in woodland in early morning and breathing in aroma of dirt is also recharging myself energy after weeklong works. With those tips I think I can take some beautiful shots for my favorite camphor trees.
great video Nigel, so helpful and great tips to simplify the process. thank you for all your great content and work putting these video together.
This is hands down the best video for instruction/guidelines on how to look for a woodland composition ( and can be generalized to other scene types as well). This video is liked and saved to be viewed again and again to reinforce the message! Great work Nigel!!
Thanks so much
Thanks for the tips Nigel
Great video! Your thought process on composition is very helpful. More of these please!
Excelent video about woodland photography. You are great !
I can't help but imagine the groot tree may say "Ni" and demand shrubbery. Truly an inspiring and motivating video; excellent. Thank you as always.
That was great 😀
So inspiring filled with emotions and character..
Thank you Mr Danson, for another amazing video. Very inspiring!
Lovely lots to think about as usual and some inspirational photos - Thank you
Nigel, I’m a total beginner but absolutely love your videos. I pick up great little nuggets and you’re such a wonderful teacher and present information so clearly without any fluff. Love your work and thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Sarah - appreciate that
Just watched this morning before I head out into the considerable rain we have today out here in the North Sound of Washington State. Great tips and examples, and as always inspirational, thanks Nigel.
The print you show around 13:35 looks stunningly beautiful. I really enjoy your channel, I love your approach to photography and how you connect with your audience so thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
Great work as always thank you
Great tutorial! Thanks so much for being so generous with your knowledge.
Nigel, we enjoyed this video very much! Interesting trees and good tips. Also, thank you for the calendar - received it a couple weeks ago and was very impressed over the professional appearance of both the packing and the calendar/pictures itself. Thank you,
Highlights on Pebbles resting in the sun looked great too, not mention Pebbles breath in the light. Have a great week Nigel!
As always a helpful video with plenty of useful tips, the scenery is beautiful and very enjoyable to watch.
Once again a masterpiece. Will watch it several times to really catch all your points.
Great video Nigel, I for one is finding woodland photography challenging so thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for your videos Nigel. They’ve inspired me to pick up my camera again and get out and shoot. Awesome morning in a misty, frozen forest this morning. Spectacular. I’ve always found forest photography tricky, but some of your points (not only on this video) have helped.
Fantastic video as always Nigel, thank you!
Thanks Nigel......like your matter of fact style.
This is the best woodland instructional video I have seen. Thank you Nigel.
As always great information an tips can’t wait to get outside and apply these techniques. Thanks Nigel
congratulations on 250k..... makes my Sunday morning watching , giving good advice and ideas
Another example of explaining your process in a way that easy to follow and understand, great video and fantastic advice. Thank you for sharing this.
Wow that intro drone shot. Spectacular.
I'm on my out the door to my local woodland - thank you soooooo much Nigel for this inspiration and lesson.
Really great tips and (as always) some fantastic images
Another fantastic video Nigel. Really enjoying seeing your woodland photography 👍🏻
This is very inspiring. The music when photographing the groot - epic.
I love Groot! He even has a nose. What an amazing tree! Thanks for a great video full of excellent tips. The resulting images are beautiful. The deer at the end was the icing on the cake.
Absolutely brilliant lesson. Extremely interesting and useful!!!!!
You are simply the best! Your videos are extremely helpful. Out in our local woods to practice this morning, using photo stacking in my D850.
What a wonderful, informative clip - well-captioned, and with excellent explanations. Thank you, Nigel, and I echo Trevor Pollard's views. Clips like these help take me forward in my landscape photography journey.
A great video as always Nigel. I’ve been struggling with my local patch of woodland for over a year now so looking forward to putting these tips into practice...and some fog!
This video is the most structered and inspiring video to go out and improve woodland photography. Fantastic and thanks for sharing Nigel!
Thanks so much
What a nice and peaceful video, an oasis of spirit in this world of turmoil.
Simply, thank you as always
You can read it in your eyes, your passion, and also the strength with which you want to convey it to us. I am new to the world of photography but I am really happy to have met you
Thanks
Nigel, great job. Love your review of woodland photography; more food to improve my landscape photography.
Thanks. Saving this video to rewatch from time to time. Great tips and ideas.
Well done video and good explanations to help improve your woodland photography
Thanks, such a great tutorial! Can't wait to get out and try your tips.
What timing ND! Having a few days off in the New Forest and Saverake Forest, getting to know a new camera, and learning to look for composition. Lots of ancient oaks and silver birch, among others. Fascinated by your Post processing work on your tree images. Thank you, inspiring.
An absolute master of his craft 👏 🙌
Good video Nigel, nice to see my old stomping ground, Cannock Chase, in the video.
EXCELLENT video... I picked up some great tips..THANK YOU!!!
great video. Definitely inspiring. I am definitely following the advice to visit and re-visit good compositions to refine and improve a good shot, hopefully with ideal light and fog. Keep up the good work, Nigel. (PS, looking forward to the 5 day deal content!)
Great content, great energy. A weekly treat in my schedule.
Really useful vlog Nigel and well explained, definitely some things to try remember when I'm next out.
Thanks Chris
some really great tips in there
I really love the woodlands of your's Nigel. Wish I knew where to find something like that accessible
(in my country, close to where i live), but to my knowledge there isn't any of the sort, most pine-trees and fir where I live.
Finally, I have to say that you are a great source of inspiration, thank you for that.
Hi Nigel, thanks for this inspirational video, it really makes you feel like grabbing your camera a give woodland photography a try! AND you really saved the best for the last, the scene in minute 17:00 is awesome, I'd say that only composition in itself pays off having seen the previous minutes, which were fantastic too anyways. I'd call that scene a photography epiphany, all the elements coming together at the same time to create a surrealistic perfect sight. And, of course, Pebbles running around there just added a more ethereal flavor to this fleeting moment marked by perfection. Woodland photography has always captivated me, but I haven't practiced it for quite a while. I think it's time to go and get those gorgeous sights myself. Thank you!
I just have to say, Nigel, that you've really created a beautiful and informative video here. I really appreciate your effort in making the cinematic cuts and editing on your presentation of a topic dear to me. I like to think of woodland photography as a "photo safari" as I hunt with an eager eye for the right composition. Im only 5 minutes into your presentation and just had to comment and say "thank you" for this. [Long Island, New York]
Thanks - appreciate that
Excellent video. I aspire.
Thank you...very, very helpful.... I am an amateur photographer and a hiker who is in the woods pretty much every weekend. Can't wait to use some of what I learned in this video!
The 5 day deal is a wonderful initiative. The downloads took some time but went very smoothly. I’m learning so much as I work through the material. Great value. Thanks to the whole team and contributors who put this together.
I recently took a woodland photo into the sun with shafts of light coming down through the trees. I think it’s one of my best photos ever. Having watched this video I now understand why it turned out well!
Great to hear!
This is a subject that I find difficult, You make it look easy. I appreciate the perspectives.
Thanks for those very useful tips Nigel. I love woodland images but have always struggled with compositions.
Very interesting and helpful Nigel 👌
That is fantastic lesson,thanks.
Brilliant Video Nigel. I'll definitely be using the tips next time I'm out in my local woods
Thanks Nigel - this was super informative - I learned a lot without being overwhelmed with info.
Some great tips and inspiration, just got back from an early morning trip to capture the autumn colours in my local wood - wish I’d watch this before not after!
