Love to get to NZ to capture the landscape and bring the fly rod to go after some of the big browns you have.
I love how you go off the beaten path and you’re not just photographing some national park that a million other photographers have done before. Awesome adventure!
Thanks legend 🙏🏻
Not many realize how you, a professional photographer, have to work so hard to take an epic landscape shot - waking up so early in the morning, walk thru forest, river for three to four hours and then navigating the unknown danger on the way ...
Hats off to you, William. Love your passion, love your work. Compliments from Vancouver Island, Canada :)
Thank you, I appreciate the support and comment. It doesn't feel like work or effort though, it's too rewarding. Thank you!
Loved this video. So much effort goes into making one photo. The end result was amazing!
Thank you so much!
Wow that’s some tough terrain Will getting to the Fern shot but the mist and the light were fantastic what an adventure too! I was kinda expecting a dinosaur to jump out at any moment as the forest looks prehistoric mate, epic scenery.
Haha, I was expecting it too mate! Thanks a lot Carl :)
Pooch says more pats and less chats 🐶😅 awesome video again, so good on so many levels!! When the msr hubba hubba comes out its business time 💪🏼⛺
Haha, you know it!
Another great little adventure mate, what an awesome location
Thanks brother 🙏🏻👊🏻
What a trek! Great dedication and well worth it!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Superb William, it's not just about photography, it's also about nature.....You manage to incorporate both in your video's.......
Cheers Graham 🙏🏻
Ah man wowwww! Makes me feel guilty sitting on the sofa with coffee 😁
😅🙏🏻
Getting distracted is par for the course! I've learned to be okay with that and to try something quick. If it caught my eye it was for a reason I guess. That planned shot though is incredible.
Absolutely! Spontaneity makes up most of my photography. Cheers mate! :)
Thanks again for the inspiration! That 28-75mm is one of my go to lenses…love it
Such good value for money! Thanks again.
A stunning location and fabulous conditions. The image is fantastic. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks a lot John :)
Wow , that was a fantastic episode , really love that format !! 👌
Thank you! Definitely my preferred video to make.
Love videos where we can see you figuring out compositions on the fly! Feel like I learn a lot from videos like this!
Thanks a lot Chris. Probably my favourite type of video to make, just bringing you guys along for the ride. Cheers :)
Great video and very informative. I liked the idea of using Google Earth. Love your photography.
Thank you!
Absolutely inspiring brother! Thank you for sharing :)
My pleasure mate. Thank you 🙏🏻
Another great video , cracking mages Will, super experience.
Thank you mate!
Very interesting walkabout. Amazing scenery! I live in northern Ohio USA, and there are no mountains. The nearest are about a 3 hour or more drive away. They are all less than 4000 feet and forest covered.
Thanks mate. I feel you. I grew up on the coast of Australia, so any decent mountain photography had to be an overseas trip. Hopefully you can get over to the west for a trip sometime.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography have been to the Grand Canyon, Badlands, Yellowstone and Idaho/Montana.
Loved seeing all the adventure from start to finish and the lovely images. Spectacular valley through there
Thanks a lot brother 🙏🏻👊🏻
Love the format. Pretty cool popping out of the forest right where you showed us on Google Earth. William in the field... there's magic every time. Stunning film. 11:41 Wow!
Thanks so much Joan 😊
That was epic !
Thanks!
Whoa - I just want to get out in the wilderness and take some photos after watching that! So inspiring and seeing your thought process composition wise is right up there!! Thanks for the video - looking forward to more😀
Legend, thanks Leanne. No excuses, you live on the doorstep of one of the worlds greatest national parks 😅💪🏼
That was a fantastic guided tour into your world of landscape photography, loved the images and your insatiable enthusiasm! I'm heading to theOtago region in August to capture some images with snow (hopefully) I always learn something from your VLOGS, Thanks William 👍
That was just soooo good William, the excitement in your voice is much like me when you know that what was just witnessed and captured is something you will have for a lifetime. Amazing wilderness in NZ
Thank you for sharing that with us, there is just something about nature ❤
Thanks a lot Ross. This is me in my element and it’s a pleasure to share with you guys. Thanks mate 🙏🏻
Awesome video mate. I’d be keen to see an upload on gear you take for a trip like this. Including camping essentials etc.
Thanks mate. Will do 👊🏻
Amazing Will, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Mel 😊🙏🏻
Another inspiring video, thanks for sharing :-)
Cheers Simon 👊🏻👊🏻
Love your work and video delivery.... having been blessed with some time in Fiordland in recent years mainly for trout fishing.....I find your videos inspiring to make me return with the focus on photography....keep them coming please
Beautiful mate. My son and I enjoy throwing out a line from time to time. I’m always keeping an eye out for the rainbows in these rivers :)
Ditto, ditto, ditto on intro through :46 Enjoy seeing your expression from your corner of the world...
Thanks John!
Yes, I like the video format, it's like taking us on a journey. Apart from that, you are very entertaining to watch getting there, the flax looked like hard work. Talking through your thought process of composition and capturing the scene is inspiring. I bet that mist made you jump out of the tent!
Thanks a lot Caroline, really appreciate it. And yeah, easy to get out of the tent when that’s going on haha 😊
Wow... once again you have truly inspired me! What I get most of all is learning what you seem to have as the most incredible gift of capturing and illuminating just how breathtakingly beautiful nature is... through your eyes and skill in landscape photography, one gains a much greater appreciation I feel. Those few moments that culminate what you captured at 11:38 and 14:42 truly speak volumes. Once again thank you so much for sharing of yourself and your amazing insight, talent and skills with us! 🙏 PS - get a fly fishing rod and reel. and learn to fish... will ya? That truly must be an amazing place for it! ;-)
Haha thanks a lot brother. Appreciate those kind words and support 🙏🏻🙏🏻 We do fish but just with a spinning rod. On another note, I just purchased a little boat today so hopefully I’ll get some missions on the channel soon! 😅😅🚤
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography I'm so jealous! Not only of where you live... but now you have a boat too! To go along with your Sea Plane? 😉 I've been doing some fishing too... on "My Island"... aka Dutton Island Preserve ... maps.app.goo.gl/YZE4cHpLrMvUW8gj8
Enlightening - thank you. As a bird photographer getting interested in landscapes, I’m learning a lot from your videos. I especially love your opening photograph of what looks like a parrot overlooking a fjord. In a future video, I’d love to learn some of your secrets on how you incorporate wildlife into landscapes.
Thanks so much Kev, I appreciate the support. Search my name with ‘Kea’ to see a vlog of me capturing the wild Kea in the landscape 🙏🏻
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Found it. Thanks again!
So much to like in this video William. First, the intro and getting a bit of a sense of your home turf. I've watched your channel for some time and I don't recall ever getting that glimpse before. It just helps give another dimension. And then the planning (what a paradise of spoils you live in) and turning the planning into doing. Some pretty tough bush-whacking, but what a location! You called the scene "a gift" but you really were the one to give it to yourself, with all the effort to get there -- and be there -- for the light. Thoroughly enjoyed this, and enjoyed seeing you enjoying it all.
Thanks so much for the support of the channel and thoughtful comment mate. Really appreciate it. Look forward to continuing to share more with you guys. 🙏🏻👊🏻❤️
Looks like paradise. I’m glad to know they haven’t beaten a path into that spot. Nice to have an area like that to yourself.
Mate - nothing like a bit of full on bush bashing! But my goodness. How good was that mist.
What a glorious atmospheric morning in a stunning setting! It is times like this you wish you could divide yourself into three so you could concentrate on the different aspects presented in this situation rather than running around like a headless chook trying to cover all. Your first image with the long grass heads in the foreground is gorgeous. The vegetation more than anything makes it look other-worldly and stand out from say similar scenery in the northern hemisphere.
Thanks a lot mate :) honestly, I prefer moving around the landscape anyways. Sitting on the one spot just makes me overthink things. The key is to not get into headless chook mode, just adapt to the light and trust intuition. Great fun :)
I totally can relate to each second in this video, I even got goosboms when the light first hit and mist every where. that's what photography is all about.. the photos are only cherry over the cake
Thanks brother!
Absolutely love this. This to me, is what is best about capturing that shot - the experience you had while out there, being in the moment. Quick question though, I was wondering how many times you have never got to the shot (e.g. the fern plan), because of all the distractions with other compositions. 😅
Thanks brother. Usually I don’t plan too much of a specific image, that way I’m just open to what speaks to me the most. If that fern/mountain perspective didn’t work out it wouldn’t have mattered much because of the other nice atmosphere and light I got in the other direction. I’ve done trips like this before and the favourite image ended up being spontaneous ones in the forest or a random waterfall I found, etc. I usually come back with something but it’s certainly not always the main thing I might’ve had in mind. Cheers brother.
What a spot !!!! Absolutely amazing morning light - laughed when I saw you running - I would have too !!! Love it !
Lol cheers Iza!
A bit of hard work but definitely worth the effort for that breathtaking morning in the valley. Excellent video from start to finish. Such an inspiration Will.
Thanks a lot John :)
Thoroughly enjoyed this adventure and the thrill of "the chase" in the morning. Do you ever get lost in the bush? Wonderful results; I especially love the toi toi and mist capture... stunning!
Thank you Chrissy. Nah, never lost but definitely east to wander off course in there. Have done that a few times. Rivers, sunlight and compass help avoid serious trouble. Cheers! :)
Amazing work as usual! It was so exciting to see your journey through the wilderness to get those shots. I was wondering about wild life there. You spent a night alone in this remote location. Are there any animals that present some potential danger while you are asleep? Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for the support. No, we don’t have any animals to worry about here. Just the elements and stupidity is what can get you in trouble, if you’re not prepared.
I only discovered your channel today, and I'm impressed! Man, this is an incredible place to camp and the photographs are fantastic, William! Cheers for sharing this video
Thanks a lot mate. Hope you enjoy some of the other videos and thanks for the support 🙏🏻🙏🏻
All of your photography videos are terrific. You explain everything so clearly and in a way that really teaches and inspires the viewer. I really appreciate all of the compositional and post processing tips you provide on how you create your amazIng images. Thank you!
Thank you mate, that really means a lot :)
William, this was an incredibly insightful approach to landscape composition. Thanks for taking us along on this journey to share your thought process and the final pictures. This really compliments the technical classes that you offer and I’ve enjoyed those as well.
Thanks mate, that really means a lot 🙏🏻🙏🏻😊
you are not using tripod sir...great adventure sir..
9:55 that sunrise 🤯
Such an enjoyable, inspirational video - the shots you got look incredible.
Cheers, William 🙏🏻📸
Much appreciated mate, and yeah, it was a glorious morning!
Not much to say Will - EPIC and share your awe at the majesty of nature.......see you mid-year
Legend. Thanks mate 🙏🏻
Mannnnn this is it, this is the stuff! 👏👏
Haha cheers man
What a fantastic video/vlog, Will. Sublime is definitely the word. You have a great way of conveying your love of landscape photography with its thrill combined with some technical aspects. Many thanks for your efforts and sharing. Bob from north west England.
Thanks a lot Bob, I appreciate it mate 🙏🏻🙏🏻
Wow! That is such an inspiration! Thanks for that. I'm leaving for Queenstown on Wednesday for a month in South Island.
Thanks. I’ll trust you will enjoy it :)
I'm not at your level yet, but my images are really good and I have the same philosophy. I've watched your videos and thank you for the stuff that you sent me that I purchased as well as it was affordable and inspired me and I agree with everything you said it is our moment, capturing ability to be in nature as well. I often think that the photo is probably the actual least important part of it. That might sound crazy. If we get the other bits right, the location, the process and our attitude, the images flow. I live in a beautiful part of Australia on the southern half and it is majestic and I love capturing my own local area. I do travel a little bit, but it as you can imagine it's difficult when you have a mortgage and children and other things. I would aspire to be a full-time landscape photographer, but I'm not sure I can do it, but I will keep driving thank you always for your videos which do inspire.
Wow William, great video. Very inspiring. I live on the Olympic Peninsula here in Washington USA. This got me really pumped to pack up and get out soon.
Awesome thank you. Similar landscape out there. Go get amongst it for me :)
Good Job Will, looks fantastic 😍
Thanks so much! 😊
Awesome video Will! I enjoyed seeing your journey to epic and lucky (atmosphere) vistas. Awesome work!
Thanks legend
Brilliant location and captures!
I really like this style for videos
Cheers
Thanks!!
Great vid William, thanks for sharing.
My pleasure. Thank you :)
Thanks for the valuable video 👍
My pleasure 👊🏻🙏🏻
Came across your video and enjoyed it. Will subscribe and browse your others. Was interesting to see no tripod, despite the shutter speed you mentioned. I guess no problem with your lens and body combo even at low ISO and small aperture? Thanks! Edit: Perused your history and quickly found your videos on that topic! Thanks again!
Legend, thanks for the support mate and for joining the community here. Hope you enjoy the rest. Reach out anytime 👊🏻
Another note... you mentioned you use your phone (iPhone?) to sample a location or scenery... I realized too that it saves the location with GPS latitude & longitude so after going back to that picture later you can find where it was taken!
The 3 P's in photography
Passion
Patience
Persistence
Love it 💪🏼
Spectacular thanks :)
Thanks mate!
Great video and I know what you go through for these shots... Which begs to question (not photography related), what kind of various animals and insects do you run into there?
Thanks a lot mate. No wildlife to worry about here, mainly birds and deer is all you'll encounter :)
Great Great Great
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Perfect video. Which type of that photo cube did you use?
Thanks mate. The cube is the F-Stop small.
This is great. I had a question. What are the lenses that you used to shoot?
Sony 12-24mm f/2.8 and Tamron 28-75mm :)
😊😊❤❤🎉🎉
I'm surprised you weren't use a tripod mate. At least you didn't have to worry about venomous snakes!!!
I Don’t use a tripod mate ;)
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography very curious. Most unusual.
Looking at the video it appears that all of your shots appear to be taken handheld. How are you able to to handheld in low light at shutter speeds outside of that range. Also, you appear to be focus stacking handheld. Can you give some insight to achieving this? Thanks
