Absolutely love that you practice and teach the aspects of patience and never settling for a mediocre shot (or product, as you mentioned the previous video you never posted). Lessons I am now taking with me every time I go out shooting. Thank you!
that's an amazing photo, tilting the lens and keeping the mountain at the edge of frame what's made the image works so good. you are blessed with such location
Man the more I see your videos the more I feel I need to make it a point to travel out there some day and see if for myself. It’s always so beautiful even on the “bad days”. Thank you as always for what you do man, much appreciated!
Those mountain waterfalls!!!! What the . . . . . . unbelievable. Thanks for taking on a little bit of a bush bashing adventure. Something I would struggle to do after having had the "don't leave the track" drummed into us for the Australian bush . . . . .hahahha. Stunning scene with as the clouds moved and changed.
Such a good fun vlog, William, and beautiful to boot. I'll be very interested to see the difference if you ever take the shot of your vision. Just loved the way that patch of vivid blue sky seemed to be reflected in the blue metal/gun barrel type colour of the rocks.
Thank you Joan. The peak was covered just a touch too much for me! Still enough to hang on to the image for now, but I know there’s a better one there to be create. Thanks !
Thanks for another great helpful video. I really admire the dedication and planning you do, not to mention the physical effort, to get your shots. And still I see the word luck!?!
Another excellent video Will. Really enjoy seeing you explain the behind the scenes planning and trekking before the shot. I do similar things re my seascape and waterfall hunts re Windy, BOM rainfall data, Google Maps etc. Half the fun for me is in the planning and such a buzz when the plan actually delivers! Cheers Chris
Will, thanks for an early morning trip into paradise. Great advice about leveraging from the distortion to magnify some aspects of an image when using a wide angle lens. Loving these little gems - and a massive thanks for getting out from under what must have been a nice warm duna to get these awesome videos in a cold wet outside!
Beautiful image well worth the effort. I'm so looking forward to my trip to the South Island later this year. I won't have the physical ability to play mountain goat like you do, but I'm sure I won't be disappointed with views from easy-to-moderate hikes or even the road. By the way, kudos to your videographer for documenting your adventures. He/she does a great job.
Thank you so much. There’s a lifetime of stuff you’ll be happy with close to the road. So you’ll have a great time. Also, thanks for mentioning the video work. It’s my buddy @cam_snaps … I’ll introduce him on the channel soon!
Always great adventure into that area, awesome result of what you came to capture William, with your focus stacking on the final image did you only take one for the foreground, one for the mid ground and then one on the mountain ? Love to know your thoughts. Great part of the world, thanks for sharing.
Thank you Ross. Only two frames needed, one in immediate foreground then another in the back. With the narrow Fstop there’s enough overlap. Probably couldn’t just used the single image to be honest. Cheers mate!
This was captured at midday, believe it or not 🤪 The beautiful thing about of living down this way. But going in the dark would’ve been fine, with a head lamp.
Do you save the photos you're not happy with? I'm debating whether I need to keep my non-winners to use as a reference for self-improvement and practices to improve upon.
I only process the ones worth keeping. Portfolio shots. I generally won’t save the rest if it’s obvious. Every year I’m saving less and less raw files. It also depends on time. Sometimes I’ve only got time to dump the whole memory card and then I don’t ever get back to deleting.
Not entirely happy with this image! Definitely will be trying again to get what I’m after :) thanks for viewing 🙏🏻
I think it is breathtakingly beautiful. I hope to photograph the mountains of New Zealand someday!
I look forward to your next adventure to that location

Thanks Cynthia!
Nice video Will. Your were lucky with the weather at the end, but the result is wonderful.
Thanks mate

Thanks for sharing. OMG, I miss NZ so much, my favorite country.
Great location and image.

Hey Will patience was the pay day thanks for the tips and suggestions!

Really enjoying your vlogs Will, full of information and beautiful imagery.
Thanks a lot mate, I appreciate the support.
Brilliant video Will, thank you. My favourite part too.
Authentic 💃🏾
Thanks Amber! 🙏🏻☺️😄
Another great informative video that helps inspire me to get out more often. Thank you
I couldn’t ask for more. Thank you 🙏🏻

Man this location is so other worldly!😮 Great work here!

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography you got it!

Awesome video Will. Great location and amazing atmosphere. To me back in flat old West Oz there looked like images everywhere!
Haha, that’s a good point mate!
Spectacular location and capture!
Thank you! Not entirely content but for now, it’s my best attempt. Hopefully try it again soon! Cheers 🙏🏻☺️
Great shot!
What a great vlog Will! Enjoyed and informative on your pre-visialization process and the rush in chasing a photo. Hope you get the shot next time.
Thanks so much!!

Thanks so much mate. And yep, the adventure and chase is the real game for sure.
Jak zwykle świetny przekaz :-) pozdrawiam z Polski Jarek
Thanks Jarek! ❤️
Thanks for sharing Will - always helpful tips :) Great shot and worth the effort of getting all the elements to align!
Cheers Sonja!
Awesome advice :)

Thanks for the thoughtful comment mate. Can be hard when you’re warm at home haha but I would much rather be out there feeling alive!
Thank you so much for this, Mr William!
Thank you!!

I believe it is his wife who does the videography 😊
Haha, not my wife. It’s my buddy @cam_snaps … I’ll introduce him on the channel soon!

Another nice one mate. I especially liked the tip about angling the wide angle down slightly to emphasise height.
Thanks a lot mate. Yeah that really helps overcome the pin cushion effect, to some degree. Cheers!
So inspiring to get out there and search for the shot. Great advice which I will be putting into action as soon as possible. Thanks Will
Thanks mate!
I have to ask - Did you stay late and scramble down that scree in the dark or did you bug out right after the shot? 😀 Very nice image, IMO.
This was captured at midday, believe it or not 🤪 The beautiful thing about of living down this way. But going in the dark would’ve been fine, with a head lamp.

@@WilliamPatinoPhotography This makes sense. Thanks!
Great video, do you use in camra photo stacking or manual
These days I use in camera, but most of my career it was manual :)
Are there any video tutorials, online classes, etc that you would recommend to teach me how to read the weather?
Where are you based? Location will determine a lot.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography I am in Tucson, Az
what camera bag do you use?
F-stop Ajna. Used one for years. No complaints.
