Nigel, as someone from Northern Ireland, I loved this VLOG. How you picked out unique, compelling compositions and images from a place where thousands have been before you was amazing, a true credit. To be honest, there was also a really emotional side at 16:30 mins where you take about the 'disaster', I could see in your eyes that something was not good, then you said how you were ill on this trip and had to cut it short. To be honest, Nigel, one of the things that makes you so distinctive is your humanity: 'it doesn't get better than this' exuberance; talking abut what went wrong and your 'fails' and all in between. Many thanks for all that you give to the photographic community. Hopefully, I can join you on one of your workshops.
"It's cold and very windy". Hey, that's our summer you're talking about! 😂 If you get a chance to come over again make sure to stop at Ballintoy harbour and church, amazing spot.
There's one thing you touch on, but don't underline: timing when to be there relative to the tide. When the tide is coming up, you can have these waves, when it is receding, and around the peak, there is less agitation in the water, at least into the coast line's direction.
I am usually annoyed by people overanalysing composition, and then getting into irrelevant details. But you are actually right, you're attention to details is very nice to see.
Nice one Nigel, remember there's a lot more of Ireland to see, all along the wild altantic way, the Burren and closer to home for me the copper Coast....hope you enjoyed your time here and sorry to hear it was cut short because of illness. Come back soon!
This video was absolutely stunning, Nigel. I love that you took the extra time to walk through setups and settings used for certain shots. That will definitely help me with my own photography in the future.
My arms hair just raised at 14:20. Man, what a view! I just felt like I was back the the Andes again, looking down at the bottom of the valley from almost 4km above. That feeling is outstanding, is inexplicably unsettling and powerful. Beautiful work, Nigel! ❤️ from Brazil
I like taking seascapes and I found the subject on shutter speed interesting as I do tend to take long shutter speeds to get the effect I want. However, the next time I will try faster shutter speeds and try different compositions using waves as leading lines. Thanks Nigel.
Hi Nigel - I don't know if you'll ever see this but I wanted to say thank you. Your videos, although certainly helpful for photography, have a greater message. You've shown us how beautiful the world can be when you look at it through your eyes. I play these videos in the background even when I'm not paying attention to them, they have such a calming effect.
Nigel, wonderful presentation. I like the way you "tell it the way it is". I start taking pictures, about an hour before sunrise. I find dawn the best part of the day. I usually know where I am going the day before. I do study weather a lot. Humidity, wind speed, cloud cover. exact sunrise and dew point are very important. I usually can quickly change my destination by the look of the sky before sunrise. First above all, I check my phone. Next I have a spare battery for each of my cameras. In North Dakota the temps can get to 40 below F. Camera batteries don't last long in that cold. Going back to the same spot several times usually helps me. It takes me several visits to see what I missed the first visits. I constantly change angles. I do a lot of pictures into the sun. It is a challenge but worth it. Most important, I love mornings. I think you do too. I am excited every morning. I love stormy weather. I often tell people that I follow the sun. Again, thanks for the presentation.
Those pictures you have printed are so fantastic and adorable. The moment you have showed us the scenery at 14:08 I felt so happy for you. Congrats and thank you for sharing!
Hi Nigel, I never youtube comment (well until now!) but just wanted to say how much your enthusiasm and excitement for photography come across, and was especially noticable in this vid. It had inspired me to look far more positively at weather/light conditions as chances to take photos. Thanks for your efforts, and brilliant vids. Also thanks for introducing me to James Popys - i'm really enjoying his channel too.
Very much agree with you Nigel. On the image with the Basalt rocks there is so much texture in the rocks so the "active" water make a little messy/busy . A longer shutter speed would calm the image down to let you enjoy those amazing Basalt forms more. I find shutter speed can often make or break the image, and often get i wrong 😂😂. Come home and thing ohh no should have done it differently. Now days I try to do different shutter speeds of same subject to see what works best. And sometimes blend them to get rid of motion blur in foliage and such. Loved the video of such an amazing location!!
I like these videos where you explain you are thought process from setting up through taking the shot and then seeing your notes when you're showing the image. Very helpful.
You made this beautiful intro with an immense cinematic look. Dynamic scenes with such depth. And then IMMEDIATELY after it cuts to you waddling up into frame telling us how you forgot your hat lol your videos are a blessing and I look forward to binging them every time I need a photography fix. Thank you for the work you put in (:
Nigel, great shots. I have to be honest as I'm not a fan of the trend(?) of smoothing out the water. Obviously it's very subjective and it is popular for a reason, but I love the power and beauty of water both at the seaside and inland rivers, streams and waterfalls. For me, smoothing it out takes the life out of it and I much prefer the images where you can see a glistening spec of light coming off a drop of water or a rock about to be smothered. I loved the images at 12:24 and 15:20 where you can see drama in the former, and the froth and light in the latter. It's all personal, and as always, your tips on composition and timing work for all tastes. I'll do 1/2 or faster and others will chose :30 or slower. The beauty of photography! Thank you.
I’m sorry you felt ill, in part selfishly because I’d love to see more of this location. I tend to be partial to the shorter exposures as they convey more of the power and violence of the waves.
Your excitement is palpable, Nigen - I Love it! "It doesn't get better than this! No, hang on... THIS!! Wait, hold my beer!!!" Glad you're feeling better now, mate. Spectacular light - brilliant images!
Nigel. Fantastic images from your trip, whilst it's great that you put your camera settings for each individual shot can you include whether (or not) you used filters please; and if it's polariser (correct English spelling and not the usual American version with a Z) or ND and strength etc? Would really help us intermediates that are constantly trying to improve our own landscape shots. Thanks Nigel, keep up the good work.
What a magical location, Nigel. Your images are too. I’ve never been to the Giant’s Causeway, buts it’s certainly on my list. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful place and beautiful pictures!!! A trip to Ireland is my number one place to visit on my bucket list!! Absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking us along!
The last photos that you took at the most northern point were stunning. You were so lucky to catch such wonderful conditions. I can't wait to see your Seascapes book.
I very rarely have occasion to laugh out loud while watching a photography video but your joyful caper at 15:10 did the trick! 😊 There were so many highlights in the video but for me, the lighting at 13:50 was absolute magic (not to mention so amazing, unbelievable and oh my word, which you already have!) . Undoubtedly your best video yet. Five stars! Cheers from DownUnder.
Wow! One of your best videos yet. Thanks for putting in so much effort to share the experience with us. The pictures are so awe inspiring they brought tears to my eyes.
The little markers showing where you focused and comments about what improvements you should have done were super helpful, thanks for that. Would like to see you show the unedited as well as the edited though, as it's more helpful to see what it looks like straight out of the camera in order to judge which images will be good once edited.
In the introductory section of the video, you are exploring the wider location. I'm not sure if the weather had permitted to fly a drone, but can imagine that using a drone to search for views, angles, shots to go to with the big gear at the moment when the light and waves are right. I think that's what you did in Iceland. When we master "reading the terrain" and can imagine in spot A what a photograph looks like when taken from spot B (and B =/= A), then we may feel we do not need the drone and that would be my personal base attitude. But at the same time, this elaborate coastline has so much working for it, that it might be a nice tool to pre-select better points of views out of all possibilities. Thoughts about that?
Sorry to hear this trip was cut short with illness. You still managed to get some spectacular shots in. Luckily Ireland will still be there waiting for you to return Nigel. Stay safe 🇦🇺
Fantastic pictures. When it comes to the composition of images with sea and land, it can be good with longer shutter speeds so the sea provides a soft calm zone. It can be nice with contrast detailed and calm zones in the image. Much like light needs contrasts.
Thanks Nigel, wonderful insight to shutter speed with seascapes. Also, very entertaining too - love your incredible attention to detail, it’s so inspirational. Glad to see you are better too.
Thank you so much for all that you do! We are still in lockdown here in Melbourne and have learnt so much from you while we are confined to the local area. Your tips are always great and I love that you share information about your images whether you think they work or not. The light you captured here is stunning! We enjoyed it along with you.can’t wait to get out and try some of the composition techniques!
At this point, your videos are so cinematic that I could easily imagine watching it TV (or are they already there?! I wouldn't be surprised). Great work and tips as usual. Your dedication always inspires me.
Many (most?) new televisions now come with internet access and even UA-cam built in. I'm currently watching this on a 55" LG screen and the picture quality is top notch.
Did you know that further west of the Malin Head headland about half a mile the Millennium Falcon was set up there for Star Wars The Force Awakens, they needed rain for the shoot but of course the whole time they were there, it didn't rain! That's Murphy's Law for you. Great photos of Malin Head. Well done.
Thanks for sharing your shutter speed information. It will save some time the first time I shoot a coastal scene . Especially if light conditions are deteriorating..
Geez you lucked out with the lighting and the weather there. That was incredible. I was up that way the other week and it was dull, grey, neutral and rainy most of the day, but thankfully cleared up beautifully for golden hour. I think the secret is having time off work (or in your case having photography as your work) so you can afford to spend the time in these locations waiting for the perfect moment without having to rush off home to get on with life! It'll be interesting to see your next video on how you approach new locations. As you touched upon in this video, at the Giant's Causeway there's almost TOO much going on and it's hard to find your focus (in terms of direction and composition). How do you know where you want to be and what your subject of interest is in a scene that has so much going on? Do you focus on one feature, or try to incorporate it all? There's the Causeway rocks in the foreground, the sea, the dramatic cliffs and headlands, plus some interesting features ON those cliffs as well e.g. the Devil's Pipe Organ (basalt columns). How does lighting direction and time of day factor in? Do you incorporate this into your planning for where you go to and what time you get there at, or do you just go and determine what you'll shoot depending on the lighting when you get there?
Brilliant video. You can feel your excitement and exhilaration coming through the TV, the sweet spot when location and conditions are so good. Especially liked the last image before returning to the studio but overall a sublime collection of images. 😍
What incredible images you got on your trip, Nigel! I am sorry to didn't feel well toward the end and had to cut your trip short. Bummer! But those photos were well worth the cold and wind. I especially liked the backlit wave shots. Thank you for sharing.
So wonderful that you have managed to get over to Northern Ireland. It means a lot to see my homeland so beautifully captured. It’s well worth a revisit. You might like to add Binevenagh to your itinerary. Fabulous set of photos.
Another great video on a Sunday morning - thanks. How do you cope with the wide dynamic range on the last photo - so you don’t overly blow out the sun but keep the details in the cliffs? What did you expose for? Maybe you could do a video on high dynamic range scenes - how to shoot and how to post process?
Hope you have recovered from your illness. The 30 sec exposure of Malin Head that you printed was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. The castle in the earlier shots is Dunseverick Castle. Look forward to you getting back over to our beautiful country very soon.
I prefer the shorter shutter speeds to display the dynamics of the spray. I’m not a fan of creamy dreamy water effects which eliminate the striking bursts of spray.
I absolutely love this; not a massive fan of seascapes, however these images are stunning and provide me with so much inspiration. It makes me want to explore our beautiful country even more. Fantastic video!
Your videos are just great. I feel your joy of fotography while I learn so many things at the same time. After your videos I'm always encouraged to try it on my own. Actually even half through your videos, I find myself being one step away from grabbing my gear and going outside ^^ And the moment you realized again, there's just too much ways at the same time to take great a pictures 😂 I feel that so much. As I'm heading to california, Nevada, Utah and Arizona I'm glad to see even professionals struggle with that 😄 Keep up the good work, thanks a lot and may the light be with you ✌️

The moment the sunset photo appeared at about 15:15 I had a lump in my throat! What an emotionally breathtaking scene!
Those pictures you have printed are so fantastic and adorable. The moment you have showed us the scenery at 14:08 I felt so happy for you. Congrats and thank you for sharing!

Ohhhh wow how’s those last pictures 😍 nailed it!!
I love how enthusiastic you were when you were taking photos. Giant's Causeway is indeed amazing.
wow what a photographers playground. sheer heaven. divine.
Stunning images Nigel. Your emotions came through in the pictures.
You made this beautiful intro with an immense cinematic look. Dynamic scenes with such depth. And then IMMEDIATELY after it cuts to you waddling up into frame telling us how you forgot your hat lol your videos are a blessing and I look forward to binging them every time I need a photography fix.

Wonderful trip Nigel! Thanks for letting us tag along!
The light in the images from about 13:45 on was killer! So many beautiful shots in there.
Northern Ireland and it's Atlantic Coast is such a beautiful place, you captured some amazing images of it.
I love to see the reactions of a photographer when they are surrounded by shot opportunities, the excitement is so great
Really appreciate the written information you provided with each photo. So helpful.
Fantastic! Memories of days like those stay with us forever...
Thanks for sharing.
15:08 makes me happy, I know that feeling, so nice to see you living your dreams

Talk about being at the right place at the right time those shots are incredible!
This last photo is sooo stunning, acctually made me a bit teary, the world is so beautiful! I totally felt your joy, spectacular place and condition!
Wow !!! simply immense conditions Nigel and some belter shots right there,,,,,Well done mate !!! Thanks again ! Bob.
Beautiful shots.. be careful of the waves! Come back to Ireland soon , you need to do the West Cork and Kerry!
woowww....jaw dropping landscape Nigel, i am really an awe with your choice of POI. Well done
Those shots at the head are GOLD!
Oh wow, what beautiful locations you have to shoot! You are truly blessed Nigel!
Great to see Ireland feature this week Nigel. Looking forward to more from here in the coming weeks.
Gorgeous work, Nigel! Thank you for sharing!
Nigel, this video made me so emotional and motivated…
You make amazing content and deserve all the praise for your work 🤟☺️
The shots at min. 16 are incredible! Mind-blowing!
Oh my! Bravo. What a beautiful place. Your photos are stunning. Thank you for that.
What a magical location, Nigel. Your images are too. I’ve never been to the Giant’s Causeway, buts it’s certainly on my list. Thank you for sharing your insights.

Fantastic shots! Amazing light. There’s something magical about water and waves. I loved the enthusiasm in your video. Thank you, Nigel.
Happy you're feeling better Nigel. Awesome shots and great content as usual!
I can feel your excitement and these photos are epic! Hope you're feeling much better.

The seascapes near the end were absolutely epic. Honestly think they were some of your best work!
Absolutely superb Nigel...you just keep getting better and better. 👌
Great collection of shots this week and good tips re shutter speed.

Thanks for sharing your shutter speed information. It will save some time the first time I shoot a coastal scene . Especially if light conditions are deteriorating..
Some stunning images of the waves there Nigel
Epic images Nigel! Especially the last, its drama is superb! Great job man!!
amazing video. I learned so much thank you. Swopping between fast and low ss gives such an impact. I recently tried this in South Africa
I confess I was not familiar with this geological wonder. I can see why it is so celebrated. What amazing geology! Thanks for posting.
the effort put into this one didnt go unnoticed, great job!

What incredible images you got on your trip, Nigel! I am sorry to didn't feel well toward the end and had to cut your trip short. Bummer! But those photos were well worth the cold and wind. I especially liked the backlit wave shots. Thank you for sharing.
That was spectacular! Lots of jaw dropping shots!
Thank you Nigel! You’re awesome!
So wonderful that you have managed to get over to Northern Ireland. It means a lot to see my homeland so beautifully captured. It’s well worth a revisit. You might like to add Binevenagh to your itinerary. Fabulous set of photos.
Jaw-dropping, actually. Coming from a Dutchman, living in a flat country with massive waves of about 50 cm's high! So; Ireland is on the list...
One of your best ever videos. Superb photography both stills and the video all through. Congratulations. Sorry you were taken ill.
Wowh!
Again a beautiful video and great photo's!!👍
The one with the sunset & Devil's bridge at Malin Head absolutely nails it for me!🤩🤩
Another great video on a Sunday morning - thanks. How do you cope with the wide dynamic range on the last photo - so you don’t overly blow out the sun but keep the details in the cliffs? What did you expose for? Maybe you could do a video on high dynamic range scenes - how to shoot and how to post process?
Multiple exposures and then blend them 👍🏼
I can't believe how good your shots directly into the sun look, mine are always burnt out. I'd love to see how you do them.
Another great & inspirational video (as usual) Nigel! Sorry you had to cut the trip short. Hope you’re feeling properly better.
....absolutely stunning pictures Nigel!
Hope you have recovered from your illness. The 30 sec exposure of Malin Head that you printed was ABSOLUTELY SPECTACULAR. The castle in the earlier shots is Dunseverick Castle. Look forward to you getting back over to our beautiful country very soon.
Thanks a lot
Watching your videos we can’t help but feel your enthusiasm, as the light becomes enchanting.
Awesome stuff my friend 👍 !!
Fantastic shots at the headland! Thanks for the video
You got some incredible shots Nigel. Very dramatic with the perfect musical accompaniment, in my opinion.
Some beautiful shots , magnificent ..take care of yourself
Fantastic - such dramatic seascapes
I prefer the shorter shutter speeds to display the dynamics of the spray. I’m not a fan of creamy dreamy water effects which eliminate the striking bursts of spray.
Great photos Nigel, as always! Thanks for the understanding of how to use shutter speeds, really helpful.
Amazing photos. I'm jealous. What incredible scenery to work with. Spectacular.
I absolutely love this; not a massive fan of seascapes, however these images are stunning and provide me with so much inspiration. It makes me want to explore our beautiful country even more. Fantastic video!
Your videos are just great.
I feel your joy of fotography while I learn so many things at the same time. After your videos I'm always encouraged to try it on my own. Actually even half through your videos, I find myself being one step away from grabbing my gear and going outside ^^
And the moment you realized again, there's just too much ways at the same time to take great a pictures 😂 I feel that so much. As I'm heading to california, Nevada, Utah and Arizona I'm glad to see even professionals struggle with that 😄
Keep up the good work, thanks a lot and may the light be with you ✌️
Nigel - simply put: fantastic presentation, information and advice. Please keep executing like this…very useful and informative.
These are absolutely stunning photographs!! Thank you for sharing the beauty as well as your process.
