This is a masterclass on composition! In a great location for the purpose. Different perspectives, different photos, different image feelings. Very well done!
Andrew A triple thumbs up! Thoroughly enjoyed how you worked the scene, moving the lighthouse for different perspectives. Reinforces the concept of never being satisfied with taking only one image with one viewpoint, as others might be hidden, waiting to be discovered. Always enjoy each new video Peter
Very creative composition with the "tombstone" rocks Andrew. The XT2 along with your mastery of the camera and post processing has created a couple of stunning images with lovely tones. Your drone work also adds to thoroughly interesting viewing. Well done mate!
Beautiful images Andrew. I love your calm steady pace style that considers so many aspects of the image and your patients pays great dividends. Always inspiring me to get out and shoot landscapes!
Hi Andrew beautiful location great work again I think the last 3 shots are the best they really show the atmosphere of the place given the weather conditions. Very nice
Nice video! Your intro scenes are really turning into a spectacle all their own. I Felt like I was in Jurassic Park going through the weeds there! I've been digging through your past videos and have come to two conclusions: 1. You're a very good photographer and your channel definitely deserves more subscribers. You have a calm, thorough style that really makes for a pleasant viewing, and your attention to detail pays off with many well-timed, well-composed images. 2. Australia is an amazing, vibrant land that could keep any photographer happy for a lifetime.
This is a great video explaining how to "work" a scene and explore different compositions. Appreciate you spelling out your thoughts as you set up the shots. Love the post-processing too.
Thanks Andrew for another great video! I really like the first photo and i think the panoramic crop is perfect for that one!! Thanks for sharing and i look forward to the next one!!
I´m from Sweden but I been to this lighthouse. But you really manage to capture it in a beautiful way with your framing and the leading lines. Thanks for your guiding tips.:)
Once again an awesome vlog mate :) All the photos came out awesome and if I had to pick one I would have to say I love the last photo the most only because I loved the storm clouds and rain in the distance :) A great way to end your trip down in Augusta. Look forward to your next vlog Andrew :)
Andrew, another great video from this vacation trip. I really like your approach to landscape photography and it is always refreshing to listen to your narrative. I often take something from your video which helps me with my photography. I like the first image as far as composition, it is well balanced between all the elements in the image and the perspective feels right. Great work! Cheers.
Beautiful images Andrew and what a stunning location. The moment you set up the first image with the rocks lined up directly with the lighthouse, I thought Stone Henge / Black and White / high contrast...That's just me...I love Black and White landscapes cos they are timeless works. You worked each scene beautifully and in the end each image had its own unique beauty. Loved the vlog and the B roll...Take care mate. Greg
I loke some of the images you captured, particularly the panoramic crops. When I was watching the position of the camera and the focal length I was thinking how on earth will that work but once you had cropped it the result was good. Thanks for sharing.
Great video as usual Andrew. Lovely images and well explained. Love the pano crops...and, BTW, your drone work is going to put a hole in my bank balance ;-) Cheers, Ian
Augusta is now my next 'photo jaunt' destination! The rocks on the south coast are so photogenic and I wish we had some of them up here around Perth - Point Peron's about as exciting as it gets {:-) Your photos turned out wonderfully and I especially like the letterbox cropping you did (if that's what it's called). One last thing: When I used to teach students to set up a theodolite or dumpy level I'd tell them that if the ground's on a slope, always put a single leg of the tripod downhill rather than up. That makes it more stable and less likely to tip over (5:07 in the video). Regards, Rob.
Thank you Bisayang, I love hearing feedback like this. I’m so pleased the videos are having this sort of effect. I really enjoy creating the B-roll sequences so hopefully, there be more in future videos.
Thanks Andrew, once again I enjoyed the vlog... Glad you took a drive over to the lighthouse for those closeups. The narrow panos were a nice addition... Lovely mirrorless crop camera, super images and the post work was spot on, in particular the vignettes really pulled the eyes in nicely... Happy Mothers Day... Bill Farr... Vermont, USA...
Thanks Bill, I was very happy that I made the effort, just goes to show it’s important to make the effort to go back for a second attempt. Thanks also for the feedback on the post-processing. I don’t mind a little vignette in some images to help draw the viewer in. Appreciate your comment and Happy Mothers Day to you as well mate! :)
another great vlog, thats all i say these days, it all makes me realize i am never going to be as successful, your processing of your work is amazing, i use my xt2 and i am never really happy with the images over my canon, but your video work as well, you get some much content in such a small amount of time WOW
Thanks Paul, as you know it takes a fair bit of organising to capture to various content for a vlog. There are times where I’m running around like a mad thing grabbing shots, videos and flying drones, but I’m getting better the more practise. You are doing an awesome job with your videos mate, and to have the UK UA-cam group as a support network must be great. I’m looking forward to the Scotland series. My visit to Scotland was almost exactly a year ago!
Andrew Marr unfortunately my scotland stuff will not be as good as yours and I kind of forgot so much and rushed a lot. Looking though the footage I am trying to piece together vlogs because I have to. Not great but at least I hope there will be something for someone haha. It was your Scotland stuff that got me watching you sir
Hi Andrew. What a location ! Sometimes capturing an image is a bonus. Just to have the chance to spend time in places like this is good for the soul. I really admire your measured approach to composition, because despite many years of photography, I still tend to dive straight in when I get to a location (mainly because I already have a shot in mind I guess). Really enjoyed the video Andrew. Great content, great advice and great images. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Tim, nicely said, I completely agree it shouldn’t be underestimated how good these sorts of experiences are for the soul. Slowing down can be one of the hardest things to do, but I’ve found it very helpfully. I must admit the fact I’m vlogging can help with slowing me down. Thanks for sharing your thoughts mate!
Hi Andrew. I like the 'lets go for a walk and see what we can find' style to your work. I particularly liked the images at 8.33 & 8.39. Not sure that the rock images did it for me, as the lighthouse is quite small in comparison to the rocks. That said, great images none the less :)
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Paul. I suppose the images features the rocks and the coastline just as much as the lighthouse itself. So I can see your point. Cheers!
Hi Andrew, I quite liked the last panoramic. It felt more like a classic shot which I am drawn to it. I do understand though that from where you were shooting it was difficult to have got a good shot. However, since the wide angle was not quite working do you think a shot with a zoom lens like the 70-200 would have been better?
yeah I really like the colors you've created in this video. they are relaxing. I love using the fuji film simulations as a starting point for my videos. But I always end up having to tone down the green hues a little
As your older step brother, I ask you again me 'ole mate, where did you focus for those excellent fotos'? Big love to the family Marrsy from us in Blighty.
Andrew, fantastic images, great location, stunning composition and informative commentary. You never disappoint. One question I would like to ask is this; is there a reason why the focus point of your images is rarely ever mentioned along with all the other technical detail provided? I've actually noticed that most of the photography vloggers I follow rarely ever explain where they focused and why or whether they focused stacked. I'm wondering, do highly skilled photographers consider the focus point a non essential detail or irrelevant to the outcome of the image? If not, IMHO it would always be helpful to know where you choose to focus to get the sharpest DOF or for some creative effect. Please don't take this as criticism, I look forward to every video you put out and I learn so much from every one. Thanks so much for all the hard work you put it into these vlogs.
It is always a sort of poetic experience watching your videos. Nice attempt to compose the images in the less obvious way although I think that sometimes the lighthouse, despite being definitely in the picture, is too small and not so predominant, but maybe this is the effect your were seeking: describing the lighthouse in the context around it. One question: why didn't you choose a GND to highlight the clouds texture and to add a little more drama? Thanks
Loved the last 2 images! What’s the fence for? I also use the XT2, a real favorite for me. I do not shoot enough landscape photography to merit buying the graduated filters, any thoughts on shooting techniques to get similar results? Thoughts on filters in general? Why didn’t you go with a Really Right Stuff ball head? Love the videos, keep them coming. Cheers, G
I loved your shot at 6:36. Some possibilities: longer focal length, ditch virtually all of the ocean horizon and some of the hill. If you do Photoshop, make some precision selections, then use them to do some careful dodging and burning right around the lighthouse. If the sky were darker, the lighthouse a tiny bit whiter, and the two smaller rocks having more of the colors of the big rock, the scene might be more dramatic. A little bit would go a long way. Just some thoughts for a future trip.
Thanks for the feedback Stuart, I’ll certainly take that into account next time I go down there…and there will be a next time. I felt the ocean was an important part of the scene however I did crop one of the images where the ocean didn’t feature at all and I liked the result, cheers mate!👍
I think the ocean provides an anchor for the horizon, especially since you are taking an image looking up. I was just thinking that all you would need is one reference point like that near the edge of the image. Good luck!
Cheers Richard, it was nice the rocks were there and I was able to extract a little colour out of some of them. They were similar in size and sharp to the Pinnacles, but I think these were granite. I’ve visited the Pinnacles during the day but never captured any images. It was during the day so the light was harsh, I think the best time is when there is soft morning or evening light. Have you shot the Pinnacles?
Andrew Marr Nope I’ve never actually been up there at all. I had some plans to do some Astro up there the other week with a buddy but those fell through at the last minute... But hoping to get there and to some of those dunes nearby too before too long.
Not sure if I look forward to your intros more than the images. 😃 Those intros of yours are always fantastic! Have you retired the Nikon? I especially liked the image where you went lower and captured some more foreground. Lovely location. Thanks for sharing another one Andrew.
Thanks Diego, I love making the intros so I'm pleased to hear you enjoy them mate. I wouldn't say I've retired the Nikon, but I wanted to give the X-t2 a good workout to see what it could do!
Welcome to the channel Jack and thanks for subscribing mate. The fence was actually very easy to negotiate. It ended before the water’s edge, with the tide out, I just had to walk around it! :)
Thanks Jay, I’m enjoying the X-T2 and it’s a very capable camera, however, I wouldn’t say it’s on par with the D800 for resolution for this style of images. The D800 will be accompanying me on my next trip! :)
Finished off your holiday nicely Andrew with those images. Lovely colours and interesting to see the differences in the images with the change of perspective. I take you left the Nikon at home for this trip ?
Compliments on effort Andrew. Why are you crop photos so tight, beside that I think it's better to use some standard aspect ratios, on this way you've dropped almost 2/3 of the resolution. Take a little more attention to balance in term of composition too.
Thanks for the feedback but I don't agree, I'm sharing a variety of ratios here so we can see the effect. I'm assuming you like the standard aspects ratios whereas I prefer the Pano crops for the seascape scenes U captured. I have plenty of resolution to crop so I wouldn't worry about that.
Nothing to apologise for, you are entitled to your opinion. You're right if I was printing large, I'd want to maximise the resolution. So for the panos I probably shoot a series and merge into a panoramic, particularly using the x-t2! Again I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
Incredible video Andrew. I love your insights and tips here. A very well put together video. I've subbed your channel and will look forward to more like this. If you get a moment i'd massively appreciate any feedback on my photography vlogs from someone like yourself. All the best, James
This is a masterclass on composition! In a great location for the purpose. Different perspectives, different photos, different image feelings. Very well done!
Again a great location with some beautiful images. The reddish-brown rocks are beautiful.
Composition tips are excellent, it goes to show you don't have to move much to get a completely different composition, love your work and photos.
Andrew
A triple thumbs up! Thoroughly enjoyed how you worked the scene, moving the lighthouse for different perspectives. Reinforces the concept of never being satisfied with taking only one image with one viewpoint, as others might be hidden, waiting to be discovered.
Always enjoy each new video
Peter
Fantastic images. Love the tones the Fujifilm gives.
Beautiful images, the last two being my favorites.
Your videography is getting better and better with each video . Great work Andrew
Very creative composition with the "tombstone" rocks Andrew. The XT2 along with your mastery of the camera and post processing has created a couple of stunning images with lovely tones. Your drone work also adds to thoroughly interesting viewing. Well done mate!
Andrew, fantastic discussion on composition. The morning trip back to the water was well worth it. And the pictures prove it!
I can just imagine that last image in the golden hour with the light on in the lighthouse and even possibly a b&w of that. Great Work....
Another Great video using different perspectives on one subject..the lighthouse..Thanks Andy!.
Beautiful images Andrew. I love your calm steady pace style that considers so many aspects of the image and your patients pays great dividends. Always inspiring me to get out and shoot landscapes!
Hi Andrew. I really enjoy your posts and look forward to the new content. Thank so much. The Goatee is coming on well!!
Great job demonstrating your approach to different view angles! Very inspiring! Thanks.
I liked your analysis of the scene, the effects of position, how an objects prominence is affected. Thoughtful and beneficial. Thanks for sharing.
Beautiful video as usual. Ans as always the images are stunning. I love the colour in the rocks. There is so much character. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Andrew beautiful location great work again I think the last 3 shots are the best they really show the atmosphere of the place given the weather conditions. Very nice
Nice video! Your intro scenes are really turning into a spectacle all their own. I Felt like I was in Jurassic Park going through the weeds there!

Some epic shots Andrew. Kudos mate.
Very enjoyable Andrew, fantastic looking location. Reminded me of a few places in Ireland only warmer :) Compositions looked great.
This was a real pleasure to watch and listen to. Very nice and cinematic, great shots. Thanks, Andrew.
Thank you Tony, it's lovely to great such great feedback mate, thanks again! 👍
The last images were my favorites, although they were all quite lovely.
Great stuff. Those images are fantastic. Cheers!
Nice work Andrew. Really enjoying your latest videos. :-)
Augusta is now my next 'photo jaunt' destination! The rocks on the south coast are so photogenic and I wish we had some of them up here around Perth - Point Peron's about as exciting as it gets {:-)

Incredible stuff! Thx for the insight I hope to someday take photos as amazing as these🔥
Nice images here! I like leading lines so much that I have to stop myself from utilizing them too often these days.
Ohoooh, somebody is trespassing, wrong side of the fence 😉
very interesting video.
Thank you Andrew, for again a lovely video. Always a moment of relaxing.. :-)
Cheers Hans, appreciate your ongoing support mate!👍
Awesome Video Andrew
Thanks for that Paul!
Superb Video, Keep up the good work!
You never fails me to excite me and that b roll intro? Wow excellent 👍👍👍
Thank you Bisayang, I love hearing feedback like this. I’m so pleased the videos are having this sort of effect. I really enjoy creating the B-roll sequences so hopefully, there be more in future videos.
Wow. Amazing images. I loved the pano crops, especially the first and third pano images. Absolutely amazing. Well done.
Thank you Sarel, I do find the pano crops provide a strong and effective framing for these types of coast seascapes, cheers!
Absolutely bonzer,love all but the 3rd does it for me.
Cheers Andrew.
Thanks for that David! 👍
Very nice composition that works well with the lighthouse. Great vlog and thanks for sharing.
Thanks for commenting Richard, glad you liked this one!
Lovely images, what a great landscape location.
Thanks Nina, it was a great location and one I’ll probably come back to again soon! :)
Great one at 8:35. Liked it a lot Andrew.
Thanks Philip, I think this shot really told a nice story with lighthouse looking out to the ocean.
Andrew fantastic video and images , you have it all down to a fine art, would love to do a shoot with you so when do you start doing workshops :).
Just found your channel, great work.
Well done Andrew, A couple of nice shots as always.
Thanks for that William! 👍
Well done Andrew. Really liked the one with the "tombstones" and the last image at 10mm. Great job!
Thanks Miguel, my initial reaction was that thought rocks were going to get in the way, but they framed the lighthouse nicely, cheers mate!
Thanks Andrew, once again I enjoyed the vlog... Glad you took a drive over to the lighthouse for those closeups. The narrow panos were a nice addition... Lovely mirrorless crop camera, super images and the post work was spot on, in particular the vignettes really pulled the eyes in nicely...
Happy Mothers Day...

U inspired me to keep on working
Even your holiday snaps are stunning !!!. Another great vlog, keep 'em coming.
That's very kind of you! I need to go on another holiday now!
Can I Come ?

Fantastic images and video Andrew. Really enjoy them.

Nice

Great shots mate. Love your panos. Wondering if it's just a pano crop or you shot/stitch the panos?
As your older step brother, I ask you again me 'ole mate, where did you focus for those excellent fotos'?
Big love to the family Marrsy from us in Blighty.
Andrew, fantastic images, great location, stunning composition and informative commentary. You never disappoint. One question I would like to ask is this; is there a reason why the focus point of your images is rarely ever mentioned along with all the other technical detail provided? I've actually noticed that most of the photography vloggers I follow rarely ever explain where they focused and why or whether they focused stacked.

When have you used framing in the composition of your landscape image?
Nicely done using the lighthouse to mimic those foreground rocks. They look a bit like the pinnacles... you ever shot up there?
Cheers Richard, it was nice the rocks were there and I was able to extract a little colour out of some of them. They were similar in size and sharp to the Pinnacles, but I think these were granite. I’ve visited the Pinnacles during the day but never captured any images. It was during the day so the light was harsh, I think the best time is when there is soft morning or evening light. Have you shot the Pinnacles?
Andrew Marr Nope I’ve never actually been up there at all. I had some plans to do some Astro up there the other week with a buddy but those fell through at the last minute... But hoping to get there and to some of those dunes nearby too before too long.
Sounds like we may have to organise a road trip!
Andrew Marr I would very much be up for that! :)
I was at the pinnacles May six, just after rain and with broken clouds. Was good. They were still cleaning up after the opera.
Not sure if I look forward to your intros more than the images. 😃 Those intros of yours are always fantastic! Have you retired the Nikon? I especially liked the image where you went lower and captured some more foreground. Lovely location. Thanks for sharing another one Andrew.
Thanks Diego, I love making the intros so I'm pleased to hear you enjoy them mate. I wouldn't say I've retired the Nikon, but I wanted to give the X-t2 a good workout to see what it could do!
Beautiful images. How did you manage the fence??? Subscribed.
Welcome to the channel Jack and thanks for subscribing mate. The fence was actually very easy to negotiate. It ended before the water’s edge, with the tide out, I just had to walk around it! :)
Excellent as always Andrew. How are you getting on with the X-T2? Is it on par with the D800? Thanks for any insight.
Thanks Jay, I’m enjoying the X-T2 and it’s a very capable camera, however, I wouldn’t say it’s on par with the D800 for resolution for this style of images. The D800 will be accompanying me on my next trip! :)
Finished off your holiday nicely Andrew with those images. Lovely colours and interesting to see the differences in the images with the change of perspective. I take you left the Nikon at home for this trip ?
Cheers Jim, yep left the Nikon at home to give the X-t2 my full attention to see what it could do.
I'd say it has done exceptionally well justing by all the images you have shared in your Augusta vlogs
Compliments on effort Andrew. Why are you crop photos so tight, beside that I think it's better to use some standard aspect ratios, on this way you've dropped almost 2/3 of the resolution. Take a little more attention to balance in term of composition too.

If you do not intend to do a print, then ok. Sorry to be a bore, to which effect do you think, maybe I missed thought I was watching until the end.
Nothing to apologise for, you are entitled to your opinion. You're right if I was printing large, I'd want to maximise the resolution. So for the panos I probably shoot a series and merge into a panoramic, particularly using the x-t2! Again I appreciate you sharing your thoughts!
So did you improve your composition? And which one of all the shots was the 'improved' one? What is the lesson for the viewing photographer?
Lol "give me a thumbs up down below"?? 🤣🤣🤣 Another great video though thanks
Haha, yeah I made that far more confusing than what it needed to be. Hopefully, people can work it out!
Catch any fish?
Incredible video Andrew. I love your insights and tips here. A very well put together video. I've subbed your channel and will look forward to more like this. If you get a moment i'd massively appreciate any feedback on my photography vlogs from someone like yourself. All the best, James
