What a great video. Good lesson for in the woods. Love the Fantail image. Thanks William for posting this. Really enjoyed watching.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Oh to walk in your shadow for a day. Blissful!
The part where all of the birds were just flying around you and in to the frame was so beautiful.
Very inspiring video, thank you!
Many thanks 🫶
Always a great Monday when Will drops a new video. 😊
What a magical experience,wildlife, and landscape beauty ❤ 📷
Awesome mate 👏
Thanks so much mate 😊👊🏻
Beautiful peaceful location Will. Fantails flitting around you catching the insects you flushed, what a lovely experience for you. I wonder how sharp they were with that slow shutter speed. It's good when you also have the sounds of the environment in your videos. I love New Zealand
Thanks. Tack sharp, in the image I kept. Wouldn’t have processed the shot otherwise. Obviously had several frames with them soft but thankfully got some sharp :)
Beautiful moments and lovely images. I love landscape photos with animals in their habitats doing their thing. Super hard to pull off sometimes.
Thanks a lot. Never thought Id get fantails in an image, considering they are so fast. Feeling pretty grateful for that moment. Glad I could share it :)
Very inspirational person William, long time since I’ve walked through the forest in bare feet, reminded me of my younger days.
Brilliant images, like the tip on depth, thank you 👏👏
Legend mate. Thanks as always Ross 🙏🏻🙏🏻
I think my stresslevel just went down. Pretty much jealous of your adventure there William. Wow. Nice tips too.
Couldn’t ask for more. Thanks mate!
I can't believe you can walk through the forest bare footed! Amazing!
😂😂😂
Anther inspiring video Will, loved this one, looked like a magical forest, especially when the birds appeared. Thanks for sharing and inspiring me to get out into the forest. You captured great images as usual.
It's really no big deal. You don't slip over in the mud for a start.
I find walking through the forest barefoot both amazing and ridiculous.
Great vid thanks! Nothing quite like fantails to make you smile. (Impossibly difficult to photograph - well done!)
Not so much; beech forest, crown ferns, bare feet(!) and wasp nests! Maybe not so much down your way(?)
I like your approach and sensitizing to the environment. And your appreciation of nature really shines through!
Cheers
Thanks a lot Tim 🙏🏻😊
It has been raining for three months solid here in the UK. I'm hoping for some light with the spring colour. Great video. 100% agree with the sentiments.
Geeze, that’s a bit miserable! We’ve got a big storm moving in soon, expecting 200mm + of rain in a day. Will see if I can get amongst it. All the best for your Spring shooting 🙏🏻
Amazing video, William 🤟📸
The amount I have learned fro you is 🤯 - and lately I have been shooting way more handheld...thanks to you 😁📸
Love from Dublin, Ireland 💚
Thanks a lot Gary! Appreciate the support of the channel mate and I’m glad it’s all helping 🙏🏻🤙🏼🤙🏼👊🏻
Wonderful light you got! Thanks for sharing these moments.
My pleasure. Thanks for the support :)
Great video and lovely images. You wouldn't be bare footed in an Australian forest - too many snakes 😆Thanks William
Haha. More the leeches that would drive me crazy over there. I’d always come home with a couple on me. Had a few snake encounters over the years too. Nice to be in NZ now 😅
Great advice and just the motivation I need. Thank you!
Glad to hear, thank you 🙏🏻
Your passion comes through in your tutorials Will. Keep going and cheers!
Thanks so much
As always amazing images and I love your approach to photography as well. Please keep making these videos and thanks!
Thanks Darren. Appreciate the encouragement mate.
What a magical place, and tame wildlife as well! Im just pleased to see a bird these days in the UK, let alone think of trying to get it into one of my landscape images. Thanks for all the tips.
Thanks for viewing. I'm not sure I would have even hoped to get fantails in a landscape frame, as they're so fast and twitch a lot. So thankful I was able to and could share with you guys :)
Love this video and the images you captured.
Thanks a lot!
it is amazing how we are so far apart yet shooting with same concept. I don't force an image and walk slowly like this like I'm hunting
Superb video/images William, can't believe you were 'bare footed'.......
Best place for it. Nice and soft, haha. Thanks mate :)
Fantastic . I really need to understand your technique for hand holding AND focus/exposure bracketing . I would have blown out those sun lit ferns and lost them altogether . One day I want to lose the tried and simplify the process to allow for more freedom.
Thank you. If you have a mirrorless, just get out there and give it a go. A tripod in these environments is incredibly challenging to set up, especially if you are trying to incorporate the sunstar/light.
Thank you for always providing wonderful words and works! I'm happy to be able to see your work up close🙏😍❤️
Thank you 😊🙏🏻🙏🏻
amazing shot
William, thankyou so much for this insightful video. You have given me a couple of methods I am keen to test out and see how they turn out. Your photos are great as always. See you out there!
My pleasure Euge. All the best and thank you 🙏🏻
Saw your bare feet and went what???? Your game. Then remembered NZ hasn't got snakes like Oz does. Whew. Love that moment with the little fantails. How gorgeous! They really added that little extra to the image.
epic scene creation with the moving light and layering - didn't feel like you were fighting your surroundings at all. great tips thank you 🙏🏼🐦
Magical place, beautiful video, great photos. 😊
Thanks for watching mate :)
Will, once again you have inspired me. I have never really thought about including a bird in the foreground of a forest scene. We also have lots of fantails here in Australia and they can be very inquisitive at times, especially the young ones not long out of the nest. Love the photos a real credit to you.
Thanks a lot Trev, really appreciate the support mate. Hopefully you can try get some in the frame, or even some Willy Wagtails :)
Gorgeous mate
Such a privilege to see you work your magic and to have your guidance on how to go about it. Your captures are glorious!
Thanks so much Chrissy 🙏🏻🙏🏻
another fabulous and inspiring video. I am currently planning a trip to NZ South Island for the month of December and really looking forward to spending time in Fjordland aka your back garden 😀
Nice work mate! Thanks for the support and feel free to reach out when you’re here if you want a private workshop :)
Beautiful mate 👌
I chuckled to myself as I watched that video with the fantails doing their thing, and then moments later so did you. The fantails and robins are often companions on my forest forays and I find them quite comforting and enjoyable to watch. Those pictures are beauties - thanks for sharing those words of wisdom :)
It's always a good day when they tag along. So many at the moment. Never thought I'd get them into a frame though haha
Great video! Lovely images.
Thank you Carol!
Great images, such gorgeous woodland 🖤
Thank you Matt
Nice one! Such a place only 10 minutes away from home... lucky you ;).
Everytime I watch your videos I wish I had been born in New Zealand! Thanks for sharing your adventures!
Haha, thanks a lot Dave.
Magical. Fantails are special in my world. So much joy watching this. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Mel! 💚
Thanks Will for sharing your magic moments :)
My pleasure Pete. Thank you!
What a beautiful and peaceful environment. I enjoyed watching your video. Are there no ticks in New Zealand? If I were to stand among the ferns here in the Netherlands barefoot and wearing shorts, I am sure I would walk into several.
Thank you mate. No, nothing to really worry about in this area. Sandflies are typically our most frustrating creature, but thankfully none in this particular section :)
Oh no, don't start about sandflies... In 2002 we had an infestation of them in our hotel in Queenstown. They were all over our bed and in our clothes. Didn't sleep a wink at night and then got up before dawn to go to the Milford Sounds. That morning we felt incredibly broke, but in retrospect it is a funny story@@WilliamPatinoPhotography
Going on a bay tree hike tomorrow on La Palma - what a timely extra motivation! Thank you William!
Perfect :) Have fun!
This just makes me want to get back over there. Amazing as always.
Thanks brother! Come visit again sometime ;)
Come on man! It’s like you have a cheat code! Those birds were fantastic. Gorgeous work!
Haha! Thanks Daz :)
Your so in touch with nature that’s why I enjoy your videos so much I’m not so sure about bare foot in the wood though lol great video thanks
Can't be in touch if your feet are covered ;) haha. Thanks Andrew, appreciate it mate.
Hi William. Great inspirational video as always. Thank you. Newbie question if I may. You spoke about focus bracketing at one point. Is that an in camera function you have or is it just a matter of focusing each shot in quick succesion?
No woirres Mark. I once did it myself by adjusting the focus point but on the new models (Sony A7R5, Canon R5, Nikon Z8) it is a feature in the drive modes. So you focus at the lower part of the frame and then it fires off as many as it needs in succession after that, each frame focussed slightly further into the distance. Very handy!
@@WilliamPatinoPhotographyjust a heads up Will. Unfortunately, as I love my Nikon Z8, the focus shift function isn’t useful in this scenario. Nikon forces you to enter the menu, click the function and start it, all after composing your shot. This means it only really works for shooters on a tripod. I hate to add this comment because I love my camera, but coming from the Canon R5, it’s probably my single biggest frustration with the camera… unbelievably good video 🤙🏻
Great images. Enjoyed the vid and agree about hiw recharging it is for the body and soul being in the forest. You are a brave man venturing into sandfly country with bare legs 🦵
Haha. Just gotta know the right places to go mate ;) thanks brother 👊🏻
OK, how much did you have to pay the birds? Thanks for another great video with fantastic tips.
Haha. Thanks a lot :)
Any chance that a few of these might show up in your Gallery some day in the near future? Of course not prior to a proper bit of marinating has taken place... ;-) say about at 06:41 or 09:18 ?Would love to have a couple more WP prints... 🫶
Thanks so much mate! Yes, I think all 3 will make it to my portfolio. Have a few I’m working on but Just trying to get another 10 or so new images and then I’ll release them all on my website 😅🙏🏻
Hello. Why do you do astrophotography? I wanted to learn from your experiences. Thank you.
I enjoy light and the interaction of light in the landscape. Astro has basically no light and is very predictable. It’s just not as enjoyable for me personally. I still shoot the aurora if it is out. Go back on my channel for a video on capturing the aurora here in NZ :)
If you dressed like that in any forest around here (Minnesota) you would be entirely consumed by mosquitos.

Apparently no doublegees no bindi-eyes... heaven. Wonderful image, so natural, they love to flirt, those Fantails.
Haha, very true!
Hello frend
