Hi Wil,
I purchased your seascape video class just wanted to say how much I liked it, great tips and helped me get my mojo back, thanks again.
Cheers.
You’re a legend mate, thank you so much, I really appreciate the support!
I don't understand why this channel isn't way bigger. 🤔 All great advice. Thanks.
Thanks mate! 😅
A year on and I've found myself revisiting this video for the 3rd time!
Legend. Thank you mate 🙏🏻
I do love some good detail shots. I had a day like that where I got one of my favourite shots of a seagull sitting on a seastack in amongst the wild waves.
I don't understand why this channel isn't way bigger. Phenomenal work man. Thanks for the content you are pushing.
Thanks mate! Feel free to help spread the word, haha.
Some solid pointers there Will. Definitely agree not all landscape images need to the wide angle.
Thanks for stopping by mate :)
Another great and informative video, thanks! (I am note very fond of the elevator music in the background, though.)
thanks for the feedback Jan!
Wonderful photos and excellent advice. Thank you!
Thanks Dave 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Insert Rocky music. I’m all fired up to go shooting now
Haha, perfect!
As always fantastic presentation with little gems of information waiting to be found.
Much appreciated mate, thank you!
Thanks for the seascape foto tips...in Nova Scotia...we are surrounded by the ocean. Looking forward to getting out to the ocean again...now that winter is done...enjoy the vlog
Awesome Ken, get out there mate. Thank you!
Thanks for the tips. Going to have to try my mid range lens and see what i can get. Also great tip on those little details that are easy to miss
My pleasure! All the best with it.
Great tips thank you 🌊🌿
Thanks Jane :) :)
Awesome tutorial video. Thank you so much for sharing your precious knowledge with us. Love it very much. Wishing you all the best.
Thanks for taking the time to stop by and leave such a kind comment :)
Such a great place to start photography is the ole dynamic ocean, thanks Will. Thumbs up 👍👍
Thanks for watching!
Thank you for putting these tips together in one video Will. You have backed your tips up with lots of examples and approaches to take while looking for compositions too. Cheers :-)
Thanks Caroline! I appreciate the kind words!
Good luck and continued success
Good luck, great video
Great video, good luck and continued success
Thanks alot!
These are phenomenal tips, thank you! I am always trying to use my wide angle, but I find myself loving the layers of a telephoto lens much more. It’s true, especially if you don’t have nice foreground elements to make wide angles more dramatic. Thanks again, extremely helpful!
Legend. Thanks a lot Gary!
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography hey William! I was curious if you have any guidelines for piers, and objects that cut across the frame? In other words, I know you say to make some parts of the frame 40 percent. Do you think a pier looks better cutting through the center or is it better offset? I’m experimenting but sometimes it seems to depend on the sky? Like if the sky is boring, you probably want the lower part greater. Just trying to understand if symmetry is important here? Thanks! Sorry for the rambling.
@@gary_michael_flanagan_wildlife generally I will never have the horizon in the middle, I’ll usually tilt down partially which slightly emphasis whatever is below the horizon. This will cause the eye to naturally flow there first. Now, if the sky is epic, then I may tilt less in order to showcase it more but I still have that emphasis on the lower portion. Hope that helps. And yes, these rules can be broken! Just guidelines that I find work well, but always have the odd occasion we throw it out the window. Do what feels right.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography thanks again! Makes so much sense. I appreciate you!!
Thanks!
Wow thank you! 🙏🏻❤️
Great tips Will. Heading to the beach this weekend and will try them out. Just hoping for a grey sky for a change from the endless bright sunshine that limits time I can use the camera for seascapes and landscapes.
Definitely helps having a few clouds up there. Maybe consider using the telephoto on the waves and textures if skies are clear :)
Great video. Those tips will be useful again and again. Thanks
Thanks Leanne! 🙏🏻
awesome details...thank you
Thank you :)
Thanks. Great tips. I don't live anywhere near the coast, but maybe it's time for a visit :)
Do it!! My favorite place to look for photographs whenever I can make it
I'm kind of in that boat mate where are either go for that quarter second or half second, or I go for the really fast shutter speed of 1/1000 or above. I will literally just pick one or the other based on that. For way Photography, I agree one 1/2000 is minimum. And especially if you're using big zooms, which might be a 5.6. The other thing I would say is try to find places that are unsure wins so that the wind is actually behind you not smashing into your face because that can be difficult to concentrate and also difficult to just work with a find if the wind is behind you. It creates a different look on the water as well. You get beautiful sea spray so pull out your little windy App which I think is a great little app that I use and then the year is lovely spray coming up into the air. The other thing from a camera care perspective as you're not getting all the salt sprayed all over your gear as well and all over yourself so yeah that's just another tip that I use well when I'm towing Seascape Photography have the wind behind you if you can not always possible obviously.
Another great presentation William
Thank you
Cheers!!!
Your UA-cam channel is probably one of, if not the most underrated one on here! Such a pleasure to get to talk to you a little bit in a twitter space we hosted a while back. Huge fan of your work and thanks so much for sharing these gems with us! Excited to get back out there and try some more new seascapes now! cheers mate :)
Ah, thanks Ole! Likewise. Really appreciate the kind words and support!
Really appreciating these tips. thank you for sharing these hints and the fantastic images. Looking forward for more.
My pleasure and thanks so much for taking the time to view and comment mate, really appreciate it.
Sound tips. I have taken on your no tripod approach and it is so much more convenient. This is now known among the East coast of Australia as the "Patino method"
Haha, well I’m stoked to hear that!
Also, I’ll be back over there next month :)
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography keep your whereabouts on the low, I hear there is a fair few fanboys 🤣 around.
Love this! As far as idea for future videos, I always love editing videos. Trying to get better at color transitions in photos & the sky vs foreground editing.
Thanks so much Mel !
Hey mate great video thanks for the tips,
Could you do a video on the best ways of selling photos. There are a million videos on how to take photos but nothing on the best ways of selling them or getting people to see them.
Great idea, I'll add it to my ideas list!
Thank you, can I ask you why you don't use a normal camera strap and an explanation on what and why you use? thank you
I never used anything because I thought they were ugly and go in the way. When I went to shoot aerials doors off one time I needed something for safety, so I used a shoe lace from my boot. I’ve used the laces for many years since!
Hey bro, Thanks for all the tips, quite helpful. Any idea on scouting a new place composition? like useing google earth or some other apps?
Hey, thanks for watching. I spend a lot of time on Google Earth looking for interesting compositions (especially for aerial shot). But really I think there are great shots to be taken anywhere if you forget the camera and look. I also love using The Photographers Ephemeris to figure out the light, moon/sun position, etc.
GREAT tips! and amazing pics. I'm gonna be at the beach this weekend, but we're southeastern US... No mountains, no big waves, just flat! Then you said, try backing up. Great idea! Thanks!
One great challenge and learning exercise is to take photos you like in a place that might not seem photogenic or "iconic". But, getting a great set of images is always possible. For me it's about walking around taking in the place and seeing what I connect with. Then, figure out how to frame that show! Also, a "flatter" scene is a good opportunity for trying out some minimalism. Enjoy!!
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Love it! Thanks!
Great informations, it's a common mistake I fall into wide lens range and forget about zoom lens..
Keep it up
Glad it was helpful!
💚 Tout le meilleur et succès continu
Bon courage, super vidéo
Super vidéo, bonne chance et succès continu
Merci beaucoup!!
Yo Will, old stick! Question: is your Sony's stabilisation the main reason you were able to dump the tripod?
Yeah the in-body image stabilisation (IBIS) plays a huge role.
why dont you run seascape workshops....the west coast is great for these
I sometimes incorporate the coast in the 7-day South Island workshops. Haven’t considered a purely seascape workshop for NZ. Use to do that in Aus. Perhaps some day.
@@WilliamPatinoPhotography Maybe seascape is not broad enough there are plenty of great streams and rivers so it could be a water based workshop
