    Saw first image - breath disappeared. Will - haven't been able to do the spot justice . . . .me - what kind of place is it!!!!!!! Crikey. . . . . . .Great to share these spaces and moments with the next generation down. Love it when one of my girls comes out with me. I don't get as many images, but I'm stoked to have them engaging in nature and noticing and appreciating what's around them in this beautiful world. May you have many more adventures together.

    Thanks for another very useful clip on editing. I would probably never have looked deeply into color grading, but combined with your other technique of painting masks onto an image, I can see the value. I also empathize regarding taking you son on a shoot. I take my 5-years-old granddaughter on short trips, and she has an absolute ball with an ancient Casio I've given her. We just go together and it's a great time for us both. Have a great, safe Christmas, and all the best for the new year.

    Nice video William. I've been there recently. What an incredible spot it is. So magical. I found it very hard to capture the feeling of it with the cam. I like the haze you got and the bluer shadows you got there

    • @WilliamPatinoPhotography
      @WilliamPatinoPhotography  Рік тому +1

      Thanks a lot mate. Yes, it's a very special location and so easy to access too, which certainly isn't always the case. Plenty to take in within the canyon and it can be quite overwhelming with all the possibilities. After a dozen or so visits, I feel like I could continually return and find some kind of detail to capture. Plenty more canyons out there to explore though. This summer is the plan. Thanks again.

    I very much appreciate your process and explanation of making a photo look natural and how to bring the photo to life! I am not big on focus stacking to make a photo sharp from front to back because as you said, that’s not how our eye views the world. I’ve been learning a lot from your channel! Thanks so much for all your insight and great videos!

    Another great video. Really like the way you start in the field giving us your intention of what you hope to capture, followed by the edit focussing on specific techniques to make that particular image stand out. Your son is very fortunate to be growing up in Fiordland with an 'outdoors' kind of dad.

    Hi Will. Great video as always. My daughter is coming up on 3 now. Would you think this is a good time to start taking her out on shoots? Likewise I’m keen for her to have my appreciation for the world around her. So many kids often miss out on that opportunity. Tnx

    • @WilliamPatinoPhotography
      @WilliamPatinoPhotography  Рік тому +2

      Thanks. The vertical didn’t work, because the lower part of the waterfall is too faint. So you end up with strong upper and lower parts in the frame, with nothing in the middle.

    Beautiful video and tutorial. Stunning location and image. I don't use the colour grading tool. I think because I have never really understood its use. Glad you could take your son with you. I think it is important to share your interests, job, with them. In your case it instills that love for the environment. Thank you for sharing.

    • @WilliamPatinoPhotography
      @WilliamPatinoPhotography  11 місяців тому +1

      Exploration has always played a big role in my photography, its what keeps it fun and exciting, the thrill and call of the unknown. Whether 20 minutes from the car going aroud some cliffs on the coast, or days into the mountain valleys here. Where I live is expansive wilderness with many falls, lakes, mountains, rivers and valleys so there is unlimited potential. I will use google earth, topo maps and just some intuition. Thanks mate!

    • @WilliamPatinoPhotography
      @WilliamPatinoPhotography  Рік тому

      Thanks. Yeah, just need to avoid the golden hours really, then there's enough ambient light up there simply due to the opening of the canyon.

      @@WilliamPatinoPhotography Many thanks, that gives me some encouragement to perhaps use a pol filter a bit less. I was greatly interested to see you do not use a tripod except under extreme situations.
      I am now 80 and found carrying a tripod on a walk a real nuisance. I just rely on (Olympus) IBIS and do the best I can. Seeing that a professional photographer completely changed the way I work. Thanks for the way you have changed my photography. I am enjoying what I do a lot more and if anything it has improved.
