The good thing about Henry, is that he has been doing this so long that when bored, you can just browse trough his huge back catalog of enthusiasm and you will find something inspirational to drag you out of the chair and to some beach or something, camera in hand 😀
Never getting tired of your enthusiasm! It's easy to see your genuine love of what you are doing, your photography. You are not just out there forcing the content. Last image is gorgeous and with a soothing feel.
@@HenryTurnerphoto Well done! Not "Daft" by any means Henry, and I'd further add that although you say it's easy and simple, it's also fundamental/foundational to the construction of scene. You did of course simplify your process in this case to quite basic elements of shape and form and space. Also, you're speaking of movement through your scene and the interrelation of its elements, hardly simplistic except in your presentation which is quite good and clearly expressed.* I see that great, dark bluff and the two fingers you've got pointing directly at the island in the distance and the eye is pleasantly distracted by lovely elements yet continues to be drawn in an almost circular manner (your hand gestures were even circular) towards the center and out to your island. Now Henry, it's hardly "Primary School" either, it's basic yes to a successful photograph and you're making it very simple, but it's anything but. I'd suggest a couple of books that may interest you, which go far deeper into this subject. Film as Art, and Visual Thinking by Rudolf Arnheim which were almost "Bibles" when I was in film school in the early 80's, especially Film as Art pub. 1932. This is getting a bit "Heavy" perhaps, but it's kind of basic to Arnheim's fundamental theory of visual perception and the "Arts." Arnheim was of the belief that artwork is visual thinking and a means of expression, not just putting shapes and colors together that look appealing. Art is a way to help people understand the world, and a way to see how the world changes through your mind. Its function is to show the essence of something, like our existence. What you were touching on can be as simple as: A very concrete and identifiable and documentary scene of a rocky coastline, some pretty flowers, sea and sky. I might like that very photograph because I can concretely identify every element in it, it's what I perceive as a "Reality" but even in a more documentary mode, we as photographers can simply by our own predispositions, intuition and other factors (composition & use of light & shadow) of both an artistic and a technical nature (the manipulation of camera & post processes) further alter the inherent "Reality" within the frame. In all of these ways, we as photographers, in a documentary style or a more abstract style, (photographers have been criticized by others in the "Classical" visual arts as not actually creating something but documenting it) DO, in how we choose to compose & expose and otherwise manipulate each of our images create something that profoundly affects other's in how they perceive what we've presented them and the very world about them. It can also just be a picture of a pretty scene, or of someone famous showing up to a premiere, or a simple cityscape perhaps or Lionel Messi scoring a goal. So, if I haven't become entirely obtuse in this, maybe you see what I'm getting at? (*) My own following pontification certainly wasn't as clear or simple as yours!🤣
That cliff gave me the heebie jeebies, stay safe out there, and thanks again for another great video. I can’t stop watching these man, you wouldn’t look out of place with your own TV show 🙌
Thaks for a superv video/tutorial, one of your best. I had friend who took superb landscapes even though she was partially blind, when I asked how did she manage when she couln'd see any of the detail, she told me she just saw shapes.
I like your philosophy moving forward too...I just have a canon t7 with a 50 mm...and I love using it and forcing me to make photos work - there is something stoic about it
There’s no doubt that your enthusiasm and the fact you take the time to explain how you’re ‘working out’ your compositions has helped me slow down and think about what I’m doing in the field, thanks for sticking to your way of doing things. You’re not the only one to have had issues with those cables. I’ve also had a shutter remote fall off, but worse than that, I ordered some replacement cables - you’d think they were ‘standard’ for a shutter remote for a Canon, but no. And of course, I didn’t find out until I was on location that the plug is a completely different size (the end that goes into the remote). Most frustrating. Thanks again for all you do.
Ah, can’t believe you’re in Pembrokeshire. My county of birth, and just a hop skip and jump away from where I live now. I’ve always thought when I’ve watched your videos made in Yorkshire and Scotland (which I really enjoy, and have learned so much from), wouldn’t it be brilliant for you to make it to ‘Pembs’. I bet you’d do a fantastic job with that keen eye of yours of presenting the coastline here…. And there you are👍🏻 Really looking forward to the content from the next few videos. As ever, thankyou Henry, really love your work and understanding your thought process behind your amazing compositions. Enjoy Pembrokeshire, it’s a gem, which by now you maybe starting to appreciate.
One advantage of using an old fashioned view camera: everything is upside down and mirrored! I find that helps you concentrate on the shapes, lines etc.
I do mostly birds and wildlife, and I know next to nothing about landscape photography. But you've inspired me to give it a try. Thanks for an informative and entertaining lesson
Handy advice Henry as I think having a routine for shot composition is a good thing and they more you do it, the more automated it becomes and saves faffing about trying to think of everything. Loved the light you captured in the first image and also experienced a similar frustration with the two part remote but I lost the bit you still had left 🙂
I really like how you present it with both video and composition, and your added voiceover of how you're thinking to choose that specific place and composition. I'm, admittedly, more of a wildlife and nature shooter, but when I attempt to set things up for a fancy landscape, I'm either way too quick and sloppy, or overthinking all and everything to such a degree that the landscape is looking totally different by the time I actually press the shutter. I think it boils down to having a good general thinking to start with, so you can assess what lies ahead of you before it disappears.
When I see the first composition, I'd like to think the island in the back is the starting point, leading into the bay circular area which then leads up to the hill to the flowers where you're at.
Thanks Henry for another adventure. You were super excited this week. Great advice on composition. Your use of colour really stood out to me on this week’s images. I guess it’s a combination of the colour science of your camera and how you edit. I love that you manage to bring out the vibrancy without making it look artificial. Would be good to see your before and after images. It would also be great to have a video on your editing approach and how you achieve such consistency in your work. Thanks for always being inspiring. Bless you Henry.
Ah, that takes me back; to 1978, when I spent the summer doing a geological mapping project of Marloes Sands. Half way through my project I fell down the cliffs, and broke my arm; but, I still managed to complete my map. Happy days? Ian :-)
Interesting locations Henry with some great results... your comments are spot on and I always try your suggestions to improve my images... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
In this shot, this is where a 12 mm ultra wide lens is a really good lens to have. I know you like to use the all in one mini zoom or but I wouldn't use that lens for that type of shot I would get an ultra wide as it gives you that lead in for ground that you can use and probably shoot it in the upright position like you did, but you could definitely do that better with a wide angle lens, but I know you like to single lens approach, which is cool. I love how you use the flowers is the composition piece as it draws the eyes into the scene. Always love your videos always insightful enjoyable and even a little bit funny. Thanks Henry, you always inspire me to get out and take amazing photos.
I just love your Photography and jubilance , btw please on my suggestion try and use a tether on your Camera it's for your own safety when near drops and edges
Brilliant video Henry ! simple way to look at the image I must try to see it this way !! beautiful images I love seascapes but unfortunately we,r landlocked in Kildare so Ive to wait til July whenwe,r on the west coast for the Holibops ! I hope you have a great weekend !! Take care.
Hiya Henry, confused by your choice of ISO400 but with a 3 stop ND filter for the end scenes. I get it if you were after a sepcific shutter speed but you could have used the Lo0.3 setting on the ISO setting, which from memory is ISO 50(not really but it makes the image darker and compensates with longer shutter speed) which would make it 3 stops darker than the ISO400 anyway. Didn't know if you knew this or not.
Another great video Henry,the way you can pick out a composition from virtually nothing is amazing makes me step back and think a bit more about what I’m shooting great work cheers 😊
Recently discovered you, your a winner, love your enthusiasm & approach to photography. You break down composition so one can understand the aim. Looking forward to more videos G'day from Aussie.
Hi Henry nice vid , you have a remote shutter release on your phone via the snap bridge app , so no need to spend on an unnecessary price of equipment Phil
Henry, how do you do this this every week? Another GREAT video and tips! Regarding your lost remote release, that is a stupid design - should have been a solid wired connection to the trigger. That's why I have for over 50 years, as part of my emergency kit, carried rubber bands and paper clips. Believe it or not they have saved me many times on a job. You could have, with slight bending to properly shape the paper clip, rubber banded it to your dead connector so that you would be able to trigger (short out) the cable by pressing the clip to the side of the connector when you wanted to get the shot. It's not perfect BUT it's not a bad fix either. Just my thoughts!
Really enjoy your style of presentation Henry - thank you for the information you impart!! Re your remote control, doesn't Nikon provide cordless remote controls for your current camera? I was a long term Nikon user and loved that gadget. Looking forward to your next video - happy shooting,
Thank you, Henry. This is a timely video for me in that this year I am concentrating my efforts on composition, if I did not say in the comments on an earlier video. This is where I seem to be the weakest right now. I have your ebook, and the tip you share today, is a good one to go along with that. I appreciate your comments about safety, too. Glad you did not have to swim. Cheers.
That first image with the wildflowers in the foreground at 6:20 is stunning! And also the image at 17:25 with the long shutterspeed and the waves! I have a very cheap remote for my Nikon, it's on batteries. Well, I have two of them just in case one breaks down or gets lost 😅 I have to say, that works pretty well! You do have to aim it at the exact right spot at the camera, but if you do that, it works great.
Yes you are correct using the term Belt of Venus as called 😮the pinkish hue seen in the night sky (the earths shadow)! I have known and use the shape theory myself so glad to hear it used by such a great inspiration as yourself
Another great video Henry! A great location and very useful composition ideas. Keep up the good work. Oh and congrats on reaching 70K subscribers. Well done mate!
Beautiful shots Henry. Just how I do mine. Note to one's self, a spare remote trigger. I always have 2. Mine are different for my D500 as they screw in. 👍👍 Look forward to seeing your next adventure. Regards from Devon 😃😃
I'm guessing that you are using a small aperture to keep so much in focus? I didn't see you doing any focus stacking, so I presume an aperture of around 10-12. Thanks for sharing your magic secrets.
Hello Henry, beautiful pictures from a beautiful location.. But I´m wondering. At 8:20 I really liked the flowers in the foreground and the sea and rocks in the background (without the pancake). Did you by any chance take the photo? Or did you reject the composition?
In my estimation the single worst thing about the Z6 and Z7 are the bad cable release socket and design of the release with a cheap mini plug connector. May be equally crap on lower Z cameras. The 8 and 9 use the more traditional 10 pin connector. I bet hundreds of people have lost those bits. But good video, Henry. Your enthusiasm is motivating!
In the last week, I’ve traded in my Z6ii (for another Nikon) and I no longer need the MC-DC2 remote shutter release. Let me know if you want it (no charge) and I’ll send it wherever you want. Offer also applies to anyone else if Henry declines!
Hi Simon, thanks ever so much for the offer, that's very generous. Please email me at henry@henryturnerphotograhy.co.uk if you have the time. I'd insist on paying postage to you at least!!! Thanks a million
Stunning set of images, the first on the back of the camera originally was 3:2 but the final image like 5:4 maybe? Do you do all cropping in post or change the aspect ratio in camera?
Henty, do you have a preference for aspect ratio from 3:2 or 4:5 . I like the 4:5 in particularly, but of course not every picture fits. But i do go there most often. Yes, the Blue/Pink opposite sunrise and set is the Belt of Venus.
I can see you have changed your view upon the benefits of a remote release trigger from that espoused in your earlier video on the five pointless bits of gear in photography. For about ten to twenty quid they are still a no brainer unless you control the camera via a bluetooth device.
Henry have you been ok as I havent seen you post on here for a few weeks.Not only that but the picture quality is that because of Ai messing it up on your page .
Another fantastic video and, though we all know you love the Lake District nice to see you exploring elsewhere in the UK. Really liking how you break down why you're taknig an image and what's caught your eye in the scene. Image 3, breaking wave and orange sky, too many would have packed up before hand, given there weren't any clouds. However such conditions, with the subtleness of the other colours, can really enhance such locations and images compared to one with a cloud strewn fiery sky.
Super shots from the day Henry, especially like the last one, will be giving this technique a go when on a beach next time. Congrats on the 70K, cant wait for the next episode.
KISS… sir ;) It also takes a bit of artistry to understand pleasing shapes and compositions. For some people it is easy (like myself) and others not so much… Give yourself more credit, it is not just a daft skill, something learned (light bulb goes on in your head - Oh!!!) Also, it is a great skill to include in everything you do artistically is to tell a story, this is a feature of creativity that draws the viewer into the subject. It’s magic and you do this effortlessly Henry I must say… I notice on the path you are walking it leads to an old coastal structure “West Blockhouse Fort” would you be going over there on your footpath journey along the coast… ? Cheers - Jeff P.S. - Sorry about the remote trigger loss … Those plugs are worthless, even though it worked for you for some time. I recently picked up a wireless remote and it works great, you keep it in your pocket ;) Take a look on Amazon.com - AODELAN Wireless Shutter Release Remote (Pebble), Link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07R46G96L?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details $38.99 (US)

In the words of one Henry Turner.... "CLASS!" - I'll leave it there.
Never getting tired of your enthusiasm! It's easy to see your genuine love of what you are doing, your photography. You are not just out there forcing the content. Last image is gorgeous and with a soothing feel.

Loved all your images in this Henry, but I do agree with you, that last one was a peach. Thanks for sharing the video 😁👍
Always love your enthusiasm Henry and that last image, what a little ripper!
Great photos Henry, congratulations on getting to 70k! 😊
Passion, great humor, good teaching, wonderful shots. Nice! Keep it up.
Good to see you down in my neck of the woods 🙂
I know so many photographers who have bad eye sight and guess they just use the shapes and not the details...
Nice shot, the last one, Henry. I like the a ave in the mid ground.
Cracking video again Henry. Lovely location, and of course great photographs. 🙂👌
Thanks Peter!!
Love your enthusiasm and energy
another great video henry! smashing it!
I wish I’d watched this yesterday. The “shapes” thing would have improved my efforts massively at the seaside
Great stuff Henry!
Great video Henry, thoroughly enjoyed following you along on your adventure!
Very nice Henry. Composition really does make all the difference.
Always love a good beach & ocean image Henry…These were beautiful 💙
I do mostly birds and wildlife, and I know next to nothing about landscape photography. But you've inspired me to give it a try. Thanks for an informative and entertaining lesson
Amazing episode Henry thanks for your input and knowledge!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Impossible to watch without being entertained and picking up some great advice. Much appreciated
Thanks for the kind words, Roger
I love it when you get the wide angle out... as I personally love wide angle lenses- they just seem to put me in creative mode ! :)
Thanks for the great compositional tip, so simple as you said but effective. Now I have to put it in practice with my compositions!
Hi Henry, another grand day out and thanks for sharing .. looking forward to more from the same location.
Super video i will adapt this technique will be in my photography philosophy. Thank you Professor Turner!!!😊
Fantastic!
Handy advice Henry as I think having a routine for shot composition is a good thing and they more you do it, the more automated it becomes and saves faffing about trying to think of everything. Loved the light you captured in the first image and also experienced a similar frustration with the two part remote but I lost the bit you still had left 🙂
Once again a Top Top informative video Love everything you do the Top By Far Photographic videos on the Net . Can't wait for the Next one . OUT
I really like how you present it with both video and composition, and your added voiceover of how you're thinking to choose that specific place and composition.

Thanks very much!
Good vlog as always, thanks. Really great technique you shared. Will try to focus (no pun intended) on that when I am out this week.
Love that area Henry, some great technics there. Will try to use them as a beginner, oh and happy new hair cut.😉😉
An excellent video on technique in composition and an excellent end result. Just a little bit of thought!
Ah, that takes me back; to 1978, when I spent the summer doing a geological mapping project of Marloes Sands. Half way through my project I fell down the cliffs, and broke my arm; but, I still managed to complete my map. Happy days? Ian :-)
Interesting locations Henry with some great results... your comments are spot on and I always try your suggestions to improve my images... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊
Another great video. Had the same issue with my Olympus remote so taped the two parts together-not pretty but better than buying replacements!
Thanks Trevor, and good tip that!

I really love that second picture. Great video Henry!

That’s a bit to dangerous. LOL! Smart man.
😂
Another great video Henry! A great location and very useful composition ideas. Keep up the good work. Oh and congrats on reaching 70K subscribers. Well done mate!

Beautiful shots Henry. Just how I do mine. Note to one's self, a spare remote trigger. I always have 2. Mine are different for my D500 as they screw in. 👍👍 Look forward to seeing your next adventure. Regards from Devon 😃😃

Back in Cymru and dodgy to boot 😁. Superb vid and photos as ever 👍
Muchas gracias fue perfecta la enseñanza.Un saludo desde España
Hello Henry, beautiful pictures from a beautiful location.. But I´m wondering. At 8:20 I really liked the flowers in the foreground and the sea and rocks in the background (without the pancake). Did you by any chance take the photo? Or did you reject the composition?
I didn’t try that one, but it would have been a good composition!
In my estimation the single worst thing about the Z6 and Z7 are the bad cable release socket and design of the release with a cheap mini plug connector. May be equally crap on lower Z cameras. The 8 and 9 use the more traditional 10 pin connector. I bet hundreds of people have lost those bits.
But good video, Henry. Your enthusiasm is motivating!
Welcome back to Wales Henry. Fantastic images as always. I’m guessing you were at Marloes?
Thanks, yes that was the spot, loved it there!
In the last week, I’ve traded in my Z6ii (for another Nikon) and I no longer need the MC-DC2 remote shutter release. Let me know if you want it (no charge) and I’ll send it wherever you want.
Offer also applies to anyone else if Henry declines!
Hi Simon, thanks ever so much for the offer, that's very generous. Please email me at henry@henryturnerphotograhy.co.uk if you have the time. I'd insist on paying postage to you at least!!! Thanks a million
Great video Henry! Could you make a video about the Nisi swift system?
Looked like a good time by Marloes Sands. Great views! 😃👍
It was!
Stunning set of images, the first on the back of the camera originally was 3:2 but the final image like 5:4 maybe? Do you do all cropping in post or change the aspect ratio in camera?
Cheers, it was a 5x4 yes, camera view was in 16:9 as it was in video mode. I always try to change aspect ratio in camera
Henty, do you have a preference for aspect ratio from 3:2 or 4:5 . I like the 4:5 in particularly, but of course not every picture fits. But i do go there most often.
Yes, the Blue/Pink opposite sunrise and set is the Belt of Venus.
3:2 usually but it really depends on the composition
I can see you have changed your view upon the benefits of a remote release trigger from that espoused in your earlier video on the five pointless bits of gear in photography. For about ten to twenty quid they are still a no brainer unless you control the camera via a bluetooth device.
Good techniques.
I just watched your other video where you called remote shutter release a daft buy 😂
Wireless ones that was 🤣
Henry have you been ok as I havent seen you post on here for a few weeks.Not only that but the picture quality is that because of Ai messing it up on your page .
Henry, when did you become part seabird? You are a little close to the edge.
Henry be careful on that cliff!! Even great photographs are not worth falling...
First comment! I'll leave another after the video. Lol
I'll just let Ai do all the work. This composition style seems to be trained into my Ai image generation/editing software.
👍📷😎
Another fantastic video and, though we all know you love the Lake District nice to see you exploring elsewhere in the UK.
Really liking how you break down why you're taknig an image and what's caught your eye in the scene.
Image 3, breaking wave and orange sky, too many would have packed up before hand, given there weren't any clouds. However such conditions, with the subtleness of the other colours, can really enhance such locations and images compared to one with a cloud strewn fiery sky.
do wireless
Super shots from the day Henry, especially like the last one, will be giving this technique a go when on a beach next time.
Congrats on the 70K, cant wait for the next episode.
Thank you David 👍🏼👍🏼
KISS… sir ;) It also takes a bit of artistry to understand pleasing shapes and compositions. For some people it is easy (like myself) and others not so much… Give yourself more credit, it is not just a daft skill, something learned (light bulb goes on in your head - Oh!!!) Also, it is a great skill to include in everything you do artistically is to tell a story, this is a feature of creativity that draws the viewer into the subject. It’s magic and you do this effortlessly Henry I must say… I notice on the path you are walking it leads to an old coastal structure “West Blockhouse Fort” would you be going over there on your footpath journey along the coast… ?

P.S. - Sorry about the remote trigger loss … Those plugs are worthless, even though it worked for you for some time. I recently picked up a wireless remote and it works great, you keep it in your pocket ;) Take a look on Amazon.com - AODELAN Wireless Shutter Release Remote (Pebble), Link: www.amazon.com/dp/B07R46G96L?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details $38.99 (US)
