Winter Photography in the Dolomites Part 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- This is the second video from my recent Dolomites in Winter workshop. I thought it would be interesting to shoot some video during the workshops and then to analyse some of the images that I shot while in the field, and as I wanted to shoot as spontaneously and discretely as possible most of the footage was shot with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo Mobile 3.
If you’d like to join me for a landscape photography workshop in Italy or Iceland next I’ll be co-leading groups there in 2021. Check my website for more information www.andymumfor...

Usually photographers making YT videos go: "look what I did!". You take time and effort to explain and show the thinking process of each shot (magical shots, magical!). It really feels like the best kind of a master class. Learning a lot, very, very grateful. Thank You!
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful
I agree - another excellent video ... one of the best photography channels on UA-cam .... no hyperbole, just really insightful understanding
Stunning work as usual thanks for all you do. Cheers.
Thanks again
Great stuff, Andy. Thanks.
Thanks so much
lovely..enjoying your channel and look forward to seeing more videos in this period of self isolation. Take care:)
Thanks a lot. I'll be using this period to edit some more videos together
Amazing! You are the best!
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video
Nice video. I much preferred the first of your two Alpe di Siusi shots that you were comparing.
Thanks, glad you enjoyed the video
It looked like a stunning trip! The mountaineer, skier and photographer inside are all beside themselves with excitement at location. I'd love to be able to go on the next winter workshop in that area. I also really appreciate you taking the time to discuss the decision process around the compositions in each of the pictures you displayed. Composition is something that I am slowly getting to grips with and I could see myself getting lost trying to capture every thing that the light touched in some of these scenes.
Thanks so much Andrew, it's a lovely area and we visited some fantastic places. Composition really is a tricky thing to get your head around sometimes, and probably one of the hardest things to explain I find, as so much of it is almost intuitive. it's like trying to explain why a piece of music is harmonious...words aren't always adequate
Some beautiful images here, thank you. Your explanations and descriptions of your perception process are excellent. Photography is all about "vision" and hearing someone explain how that works for them is so instructive.
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the video and found it useful
Love your videos. They are a real treat, and your photography is very inspiring.
Thanks so much, really glad you liked it
I enjoyed your interview on The FujiCast. Your landscape videos as well as your equipment and technique videos are first rate, and I always look forward to viewing new ones as they become available.
Hi Ben, glad you enjoyed the video, thanks a lot. Also, glad you enjoyed the Fujicast interview, I didn't realise it had been released already
Hi Andy. Yes, I believe it was from their podcast this past Sunday. I look forward to attending one of your workshops at some point as well.
Fantastic Andy, Thanks for sharing.
Thanks so much
Thanks so much, Andy, I love your videos in the Dolomites. A few years ago, I was fortunate to spend an afternoon and evening at Rifugio Lagazuoi-what a stunning location! I got a few of my best Dolomites shots there. I really appreciate and value your comments on composition, they are always very helpful! Assuming you'll be acquiring the X-T4, if you haven't already, I look forward to hearing your thoughts about it. It has certainly created quite a buzz among the UA-cam photography channels. Many thanks, again.
Thanks Robert, really glad you enjoyed the video. Lagazuoi is indeed an amazing place. As for the X-T4, for sure I'll get one at some point but I'm really not sure when
Man Id love to actually travel with a group of photographers. Would be amazing. Just got back from Iceland and it was incredible, but didnt really have the time to shoot
Yeah, it makes a difference being with people who are all there for the same reason and don’t mind spending hours in a spot waiting for the light to come
Great vid Andy. Cant get over how sharp all your images look. Love to know a bit more about your current workflow (enjoyed the previous insights into this also)
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video. I don’t do anything special with sharpening, I just sharpen the JPEG in PS as it’s resized for the web
Great video, Andy. You do a great job discussing the art of composition, something that takes a lot more skill than "What is a Histogram" or "RAW vs JPG". BTW, the texture and form of the snow in the shot of the tree and cabin was fantastic. I assume a big part of that was your processing. It looked great.
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the video. I brought the texture out using the clarity slider, but it didn’t need much
New subscriber, great video and footage thanks for sharing cheers well done
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful
A very enjoyable watch, as always. 👍
Thanks Andy, glad you enjoyed it
Fotografie meravigliose!!! Complimenti !🤗
Thanks so much.
Your pronunciation is quite good, actually! Among the shots of Sassolungo, I prefer the first one by far. The light is so much better, and the foreground is busy but not too disturbing.
Thanks so much, and glad my pronunciation isn’t too bad 🙂
Great information and images.
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful
Stunning images! I must go on one of your workshops soon :)
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the images.
Really appreciate and enjoy your videos Andy! If I may be so bold as to suggest an alternative crop for the panorama including the peak of Ciovetta (spelling?): I would keep the dimensions / crop in your version, but would move it left so that the peak of Ciovetta is in the centre of the frame, seems to make visual sense on a subconscious level to me :)
Thanks so much, glad you enjoyed the video. Interesting idea with the crop
stunning images as always Andy - proving all you really need is an X-T30 :-)
I wonder what the X-T40 will bring?
The X-T30 is a great camera. With the X-T4 having the same sensor as the X-T30/3 I wonder what they'll do with the X-T40 as i suspect it's too small for IBIS.
@@AndyMumford Perhaps they will give it a fully articulating screen like the X-T4 and some aesthetic tweaks plus improved eye AF. I wonder which battery it will have.
@@c0ldc0ne I hope not too actually.
Amazing scenes, always so inspiring Andy. I thought the two images @ 9:40/9:50 would have worked well shot in portrait, removing some of the horizon? Thanks again 🍻
Thanks so much. The problem with portrait here is that it would have included a lot more foreground, which was messy churned up snow, and on the second image it was taken with a drone, which won’t shoot portrait and has a fixed focal length
Andy Mumford Ah yes! Easy to comment in hindsight, much more complicated in the field! Thanks for the reply 👍
Andy, are you using electronic or mechanical shutter? thx!
Mechanical
good job
Thanks so much
Andy, I see you shoot with the XF 18-55 lens too. What are your thoughts on it?
It's a great little lens. Sharp and pretty light.
@@AndyMumford Indeed. I love how small and light it is. I was also impressed by its sharpness although it doesn't get much love.
nice video! and great explanation! why do you use f11 on your drone shot at alpe di siusi? sharpness goes way down after 5,6.
Thanks so much. I wasn’t aware of that on the Mavic and I’d not noticed it...but I’ve never really looked properly to compare
Some people have the hardest life!
Haha, before I was a full time photographer I used to be a teacher, so I paid my dues
What is your opinion on using 135mm prime for landscape? I can also crop to 200mm on the a7R4 easily.
It's a nice focal length, but I often shoot a lot between 70 and 135mm so it might be a but long for a lot of cases
Quick question as a fujifilm user: do you have your natural live view/preview pic. Effect turned off or on? What about preview with WB/Exp. In EVF? Is that turned on as well or is it off? I am confused as I have understood it to effect the on screen histogram. Does it effect the exposure you actually take?
High. The onscreen histogram is based on the Film Simulation you have the camera set to. Even if you're shooting RAW, the image you see in the EVF and LCD is a JPEG based on the Film Simulation. This being the vase I always have the Film Simulation set to Pro Standard Negative, as it's the closest to the RAW file and gives me the most accurate histogram.
I always have exposure preview turned on, and my white balance is always set to daylight, not Auto. I shoot a lot of video and panoramas and don't like to have the white balance change between frames.
Andy Mumford thank you! I also change WB to the particular scene, and I always have the WB/Exp. Preview turned on. However, I was just unsure how the on-screen histogram worked and how it was getting its reading. I only shoot raw for editing purposes, so I wasn’t sure if the natural live view or preview pic effect made any difference in determining my histogram.
Andy Mumford I also meant to ask if you are a spot or multi photometry person. I knew the histogram picks up in the film simulation you have chosen, but I was wondering if the natural live view is better or not. I also wonder if given the histogram is fed only from the film sim if it in any way gimps your raw files
What's the name of the hotel?
It's Rifugio Lagazuoi
