"It doesn't get better than this... OMG it's getting better!" 😂
This was one of the BEST mornings I've ever photographed... I can't believe we got EXACTLY the conditions we wanted :D Can't wait to process my own photos and put the video together - it'll be EPIC!
Great to see Mads and you together, two of my favourite go-to persons for landscape photography on youtube besides Andy Mumford.
These crossover videos between these friends always makes me appreciate the art of photography more. All these people are at the same place with the same conditions and they all shoot different pictures with their own stylistic flair. Makes me feel good when photographers aren't trying to capture the same shot as everyone else, but their own version of it instead.
If not out and about doing a bit of landscape phototrickery myself, there’s nothing better than relaxing with a nice cup of coffee and a Nigel UA-cam video. Part of our Sunday morning routine! 😊
Thanks Ken
Nigel your passion for the landscape and the light is on full display in this video. It's so inspiring to watch you having the time of your life!
You’re really the only landscape photographer I watch, mainly because it’s all about the print. Nice balance of technical and passion.
Nigel, this video is a testament to your perseverance despite recently recovering from your health problems. Great photos.
Everyone has their favorite photography UA-cam channels. When I see Nigel Danson has a new video, I rush right over and watch. Always high quality content and great stories to go along too. Thanks for all that . . .
Thanks Gordon - really appreciate that
The great thing with the 100-400 besides being a stellar sharp zoom, allows points of interest in the image to be larger in the frame thus allowing much more detail where we want and need it! Wide angles have their uses but for me in landscapes less than many might imagine! Great stuff as always Nigel, thanks for sharing it with us! 👏👍
Stunning - as you said "simply does not get better than this." Thanks again Nigel and great to see you out & about more & more - even if at a slower pace than Mads & James 🙂
I've been following your channel for a long time and I think this is some of the most spectacular light you've ever captured.
Honestly - this is my favourite of your videos, and I LOVE your channel so that's saying a lot. Such a superb location, and the long lens style is my favourite style of landscape photography. Thank you!
I've been watching since your very first episode. May I say, while your photos were very good, you've stepped up your game in a big way over the last couple of years? I hope someday to improve my skills as you have clearly done. In fact, you've become one of my favourite landscape photographers over the last few years. I also love that you show your entire photo much faster than others do. I always want to see the entire composition immediately and not a corner of it. Lastly, I like the work you do to get to the point. I've grown a little tired of B-Roll on some channels. OK, I sound like a complainer. I'm not. Blessed UA-cam and people like you give people like me the opportunity to watch content we love. THANK YOU, Nigel. This was a very special episode IMO. Will watch the other blokes, too, as I do. :)
Thanks so much Kelly! Really appreciate that
The minimalist shot of the autumn trees surrounded on all sides by thick white fog is absolutely gorgeous
agree
I agree, what a superb shot!
That certainly was extra special, totally different and really memorable.
Such an abundance of gorgeous shots! Pure photography! Thank you so much for posting this and all of your videos. That favorite shot of yours is a show stopper! I think the fall colors were perfect. Any brighter and they would have been competing instead of complimenting!
100-400mm is one of my favorite lenses. It's just so versatile. I honestly don't understand anyone that opts for a 70-200 as their tele option.
Nigel, these are incredible images! I follow you and Mads both, two of my favorite. Apart from learning from you both, what's most important for me is the great positive vibes i get when I watch these vdos from you guys. They make me forget the difficulties thrown up by life from time to time. Cheers to you & Mads. Thanks so much for wonderful vdos and images!
Thanks so much Ravi!
Great video with epic conditions. You certainly seem to be moving better and I hope your progress continues. It really is great to see you out and about again.
To most of us just about every image would be portfolio worthy, I mean seriously, it really doesn’t get much better, after all you’ve been through Nigel, it really is so good.
The Nikon Z 100-400 it's my favorite lens in my kit. It just pulls you in ... giving you access to details and small compositions within the scene unlike any standard zoom. It's amazing !
How lucky for you men who are able to be out & about in the wee morning of the day.Most of us women are a little afraid to be by ourselves anymore!😱
I can't even find the words to explain how Beautiful the location was! Your work is straight-up Fantastic, and a Huge Inspiration to keep improving my own! Thank You!
My goodness those images are so magical!!!
Well, Nigel, this light and the scenery brings you down to the knees because of its beauty. Absolutely amazing, as well as your fotos, thanks!
Had very similar conditions last Sunday from here. I knew you'd done this vlog but hadn't watched it until today. Pretty much stood in one place myself and picked out nearly identical compositions as those that you've printed. Great to know this vlog is there if I ever needed my memory jogging of what an epic morning I was fortunate enough to witness.
You’re doing well Nigel, just keep on going and you will get stronger and stronger.
It's obviously not the same class as the 100-400mm, but the 50-250mm that you can get with the Z50 might still be my favorite lens on my shelf. It's got a similar field of view and all the things you mention apply, you just get to pick out so many scenes if you've got a good vantage. It also weighs less than the water that I usually take on a hike which i appreciate.
Tamron just released a 50-400 lens for sony e-mount which I guess is similar but heavier
What a beautiful morning you shared with us. The prints are stunning and I would have a hard time choosing a favorite one. Thanks for sharing.
Great video & images Nigel, love to see people getting so passionate about light :-). Hope you enjoyed the remainder of your stay in Santorini it was lovely to bump into you & your family, Rich.
Wow! An ideal illustration of why one gets up in the dark to get in place for the morning light. Thanks for sharing the thrill of that morning experience.
Awesome photos, Nigel. So great to see you out there climbing and spending time with friends. Gives us hope that we're all slowly getting back to the things we've missed the last couple of years. I hope your back keeps getting stronger.
Thanks Jeff
8:54, it doesn't get better than this, never, oh my god it's getting better.
Wow, such stunning conditions and photos! Otherworldly almost. Can't wait to watch the vids from James and Mads too.
Great location, wonderful conditions and amazing images... Truly beautiful.
Some fabulous images. Thank you for sharing them and the process behind them. Cheers.
Great photos! They deliver a feeling of tranquility and calmness, even though we are not there to experience it.
Great timing for me. Just got myself a 100-400 and it's so refreshing to tune my eye to detail and distant scenes. Michael Shainblums use of the 100-400 has been a big inspiration for me to get one. Thankfully canon offer a relatively cheap 100-400 for their full frame camera.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful morning. Love your images...i can only dream. Thanks again for all the hard work
Beautiful images Nigel. What a morning, you and your friends got to experience. I'd love to see a tour of your studio and hear you talk about the printers, papers, etc that you use to create your prints.
Glorious!
Very much enjoyed your show with Mads and James great entertainment plus different perspectives. Thanks Roger Mc
Breathtaking morning at a beautiful location + great photographer = stunning photos! Thanks for sharing. I haven´t seen such beautiful shots in a long time...and the prints...oh my goodness, the prints...I just wonder what you do with all of them...you must have the house full of them by now..:)
Awesome set a prints. Great conditions you had
Lovely. Makes me want to move closer to the mountains just to be able to do these types of spontanious trips. Would definitely add quality to life. Nice photo opportunities would be a bonus.
I started saving money after this lens hit the roadmap expecting the price to be prohibitive for me. I was correct in that regard so I’ve been waiting for something else that interests me. I finally gave up and ordered a used Tamron 100-400 F mount at less than a quarter the price. It should be delivered tomorrow. I don’t expect it to match the Nikon but it will give me the extra reach I’ve been wanting.
Nigel on his best: 'It is not getting any better than this... oh my god it is getting better, have to get up again, ....'. I just love to watch how you are enjoying this spectacular light and morning! Thanks for all the tips in between and for sharing all these incredible pictures, so amazing what you got out of this morning!
Thanks Nele!
awesome Video Nigel!!!
Those prints will look even more beautiful when framed. Nice work.
What a stunning morning. You have a whole calendar worth of portfolio images right there!
10:57🔥🔥🔥🔥
Nigel at his best and so inspiring for our next landscape photography outings:
Walk by night to reach a great location at the right time, agile compositions with long telezoom playing with mist & changing light, and large prints at home… Perfect.
Like the drone footages as well: to add some aerial panoramas?
Editing should have been enjoyable as well, with little cropping after such great compositions, but soft proofing for several papers: to consider some matte papers here?
Greetings 🇨🇭eric
Your cloud inversion / foggy compositions in that valley on this outing were stunning. And when you get the right location to shoot from with long lenses you can get a plethora of compositions. You almost want to have a bunch of cameras capturing different compositions since the perfect light is so fleeting.
I love mornings like that! One great shot after another.
Ive been very curious about this lens, cant wait to watch this video. The 100-400 seems like such an amazing option.
Hey Nigel, great session out shooting and I really enjoyed the images you produced. Especially the last one, with just the trees and fog in it. Great abstract and very calm mood.
I'm really enjoying rewatching your earlier videos Nigel.
What a stunning conditions, James and Mads where so lucky to be there with you at this perfect moment!! The 1 meter print looks amazing!!!
Fabulous images Nigel. Years of visiting the same places can lead to these rare rewards. Thanks for sharing.
At first I wasn't drawn to the photo with the white house when you displayed it in camera, but later, looking at the printed version I changed my mind. Also, I have started printing much more due to your enthusiasm. Thanks.
Getting used to the weight and handling of the 100-400mm, great to see it used so epically. Can't wait to go epic myself in an upcoming trip. Thanks for all you do Nigel.
A gorgeous batch of photos! I really appreciate all the composition tips.
The image at 19 min is spectacular. Like a painting.
I’ve found I shoot 90% of my images with my 100-400 (just upgraded to 100-500). Love your work, Nigel.
you call the 100-500 an upgrade?
@@gosman949 From the RF 100-400, yeah - although I miss the light weight.
What a superb morning. I remember it well, as I was in Wharfedale experiencing similar conditions. You have captured some of your strongest images Nigel, well in my opinion anyway. I particularly like the painterly one. I'm also a Z user and for now have bought the 2x converter to use with my 70-200 2.8. I've not had chance to properly test the converter yet, but it's reassuring to hear the 100-400 is excellent. I may be tempted too at some point. I'm up in the Langdale area all this week. There's zero chance of any mist. The weather is too changeable, but that can be exciting too. Thanks for the enjoyable video
What an EPIC morning you guys had & just some STUNNING photo's Nigel. Keep up the good work.
Amazing shots in a great place! Thanks for the tips for using a long zooming lenses. I like the example in your video showing how many different composition from the same place.
Fabulous conditions and brilliant photos. It really does not get better than these.
Brilliant. I've just got back from the lakes today. I was also at the river brathay.
Great looking lens.
Stunning images. Can’t wait to receive your calendar.
Never a truer word to use than "amazing" for all these images. Breathtaking too. Thank you. Can I ask if you tended to stick to a particular F-stop for most of the long lens shots, Nigel?
In Australia we have different scenery to this in.most places
My 70-200 2.8 has become one of.m6 favourite lenses for landscapes..thanks for video
Always good to have a coffee and have five minutes to watch you working your magic
What gorgeous photography and scenery! I am beginning to think of planning a trip to this amazing place. Thanks Nigel!
Well, if I say your t-shirt has Amazing! An it doesn’t get better than this!
A trademark for for ND
Wonderfull shots in a crazy good location. As you said everything just came together the fog, the light hitting the tree tops, just fantastic. Love watching your channel, miss taking landscapes but I am more focused on Bird Photography with a bit of Macro and street photography due to where I live.
Absolutely stunning conditions and images, Nigel!
WOW - Simply extraordinary photos
Hey Nigel! Thanks for the videos. Honestly the majority of my knowledge of photography comes from you and am always inspired by your work. Hope you're doing well.
Fantastic images - when everything comes together with the light, location, scene, fog, awesome.
It is soo windy in Snowdonia right now!
What a super morning you had, glorious light and trees and mist! the 1m long print is gorgeous.
Indeed, long lenses are a gem. I just got myself one lately and I start experimenting. It's not as straightforward as I though, I always feel that I need more in my field of view, but the process to go more simple in a composition (as exemplified by your photo with the asymmetrical tree, or the one with the tree tops in fog) is very interesting.
Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for sharing Nigel. I recently picked up the same 100-400 lens and used it for the first time yesterday at the Grizzly Peak overlook during sunset at San Francisco. I think you probably know the area. I'm really excited about this lens and what it can do. Take care.
It doesn't get any better than this...never....OMG it's getting better. Great line lol.
Beautiful Nigel!!! Just stunning ! Cheers from Texas.
gosh that was crazy. Don't think I have ever seen such conditions
Bro this video is wonderful, it's so nice to see you back out there living life and living your passion. I hope your back is going good man. Great video, great shots.
Epic morning, great images!
Why didn't we see Pebbles?
Too many sheep!
Thought it doesn't get better than the other videos, but it got better :)
I'm in the decision making of buying a telephoto for my Sony and I wanted to ask you if you would rather go for a 100-400 or a 150-500? Appreciating your recommendation.
Wow this! Fantastic shots, truly wonderful work
Nigel, beautiful shots. It would be interesting to crop all those other views and print them out to see just how big and usable the cropping in on a large scene is. I’m quite sure you could get viable 16x20 prints on those smaller crops. This is a good reason for the high megapixel sensors. It’s is so nice to see your enthusiasm I’m glad you decided to live your passion it is infectious.
Thanks
Very enjoyable video and gorgeous photos - thanks for sharing!
Beautiful inversion, lovely print…
Absolutely stunning images. So inspiring. Signing up to the newsletter as I really would love one of those prints. Thank you for another amazing video. Loved the catchphrase followed by "it's getting better!" Gave me such a laugh.
What a spectacular morning. Stunning images!
The excitement you have i can feel it 100%keep up
Those definitely are epic conditions! It really is stunning !
Wow, these are really spectacular images! The conditions were soo stunning. I was at some point wondering if this was real, to be honest. Thanks for this beautiful video.
Wonderful Images, what amazing conditions, I guess you, Mads & James thought all your Birthdays had come at once . Totally agree with you that there were potential compositions within compositions.
Hehe Gotta love the new zoom feature that UA-cam revealed. Nigel, I can pause the video and zoom in on the images in greater detail and pick out those compositions like on that 1 meter wide print. It’s awesome!
What new zoom feature? Is this for phones or desktop? Not seeing any option to do this 🤷♂
@@g00nther UA-cam app on phone and tablet. I have UA-cam Premium so maybe that’s why? The new pinch to zoom feature was launched about a week ago. Works really well on high definition videos. Love it!
@@b.a.p.4718 Got it. Thanks 👍
