It is interesting viewing the contrast of the rocks and the silky blurred water. It makes the rocks seem even more tack sharp than if the water contained more detail. The last shot you included was my favorite. It combined the focus contrast I mentioned, great leading lines up the river and foreground, mid-ground and background elements. Well done.
Thanks for commenting. This is probably the reason why I like photographing water so much, I love the contrast of textures. The last shot came out better than I had expected, given the available light. Thanks again for your feedback! :)
Very late the party here but enjoying and learning a lot from your videos. Still have some watching to go but really liked this one. Thanks for your work.
We went up to see Bell’s Wall to Wall Flooding last year. I first saw this vlog and what it could be like after I’d found your channel once we were home so gave it another go this time - Bell’s Trickles! Better luck next visit.
Wow, what an afternoon, you'd be well and truly sick of me then. First welcome to my channel Philip, thank you for your comment. I'm glad to hear you enjoyed them mate! :)
Hi Andrew. I was at this location back in August & got one shot from each side of the bank, but I was only looking at the big picture & never considered the type of shots you were taking. I now have a greater appreciation of the smaller things. Cheers, Rod
Andrew you have reawakened my interest in landscape photography. Your video blogs have shown me how to deal with water and also with light conditions which I previously would have avoided. Keep it up.
Working my way through your back catalogue as only recently subscribed to your channel, I particularly like the advice you give on the reasons you use certain equipment and how you go about constructing your images
Thanks you so much for your kind comment. I needed my daughter who is studying french to translate for me...a great learning experience for her, thank you!
Enjoying your video's and your explanation of your composition thoughts and process, something that at times struggle with. Your detailed explanation is both easy to understand and follow. Look forward to your next upload!
Thanks so much for commenting, composition can be challenging but the good news is it's something that can be improved on with practise. Great to know the videos help! :)
Excellent quick change at the beginning mate 😀 Another set of lovely images. I like the way you talk us through your thought processes and how you envision the images you're trying to create. Looking forward to the next video 😌
Great video as always Andrew. I am watching your video and see some nice contrasting elements: dark water, white water, grey rocks and red rocks. For me I see some possibilities in not only broad landscape but also more intimate minimalist landscapes. Some close up compositions and some possible telephoto shots. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you John, you make an interesting point. You're probably right, there were some opportunities for a more intimate landscapes that focused more on texture and colour of some of the elements. I might make that a topic of a future video, cheers mate!
Thanks for that John, I really appreciate you spending the time going back and watch some of my older video. Hopefully I've improved my video skills since then, cheers! :)
@@Andrew_marr No worries. I've have been following you from early days and always thought you were good so yes whilst your video skills have got better, I haven't noticed too much.
Nice work, Andrew. All images are very nice, my favourite is the 1st one with "fan-like" shapes in the water and also its vertical version is great. Keep up the good work!
Thanks Tom, appreciate your feedback mate. I also liked the fan-like shape in the water but it took me a little time to find it. I was going to originally shoot the scene from the side. Thanks again! :)
Andrew Marr This is something that I find really difficult on "water" photography. You see a lot of details in flowing water and it is very hard to imagine how it will look like in long time shot. It's perhaps best to simply try and see :) And then with experience can one probably know what to expect and look for. Have a good light!
Great Video mate! I have been learning lots about Landscape photography from you. One thing I have been doing wrong is going to a location and spending 3 hours and coming home with 50+ OK images instead of focusing on getting good composition and coming home with 2 or 3 Superb images. Great inspiration mate Thanks!
Thanks mate, I've been there before. For me I think I used to do something similar because I didn't want to miss a shot/image, so I would shoot heaps of images. The problem with that is I wasn't spending the time the maximise any of the images and the process of going through all those shots were long. boring and on many occasions disappointing. Plus, if for some reason you don't get the shot you wanted, in most cased it not because you didn't take enough shots and it's a great excuse to get out and try again!
Yay finally I've found someone else that uses back button focus for landscape, most other landscape photographers I talk to say there is no benefit but I use it for the same reason you do. Awesome images. I really liked the way the tree in the background of the first image really set off the composition, great stuff.
I just love back button focusing, it's one of the first thing I change when I get a new camera. I think it's particularly helpful with landscape and I plan to do a video it this subject in the future. I'm glad you agree!
Mighty finely presented again Andrew, like the way you consider leading lines for the viewer of your images always good to think " what will others see when they view this " doing well indeed mate, keep them coming :) regards Rick
Some good tips there Andrew and now reading some more on Back Focus setttings on my 5d ii. You certainly perservered with the flies to get some great images
Great video again. Love the contrast between rocks and moving water (a favourite subject of mine). Just jealous of the weather conditions as we move into a British winter here (dark by 5pm).
Thanks very much Glyn. I must admit that although it nice to get some finer days I find the photography more challenging under harsh light conditions. I haven't experienced a British winter but dark by 5pm would be hard to cope with as a landscape photographer.
Andrew Marr yeah, pretty miserable but the flip side is that is summer it doesn't get dark until after 10pm, so I can get a full evenings shoot in after work
Awesome as always mate. Love that 2nd image but all of them were fantastic. Have to say, your video editing and strength talking in front of the camera without too many jump cuts was great on this video. Love the music you use too, it sets the mood wonderfully. Looked like a great arvo out and about. Keep up the great work.
Thanks mate, I did enjoy the trip, it's a beautiful location. Thanks also for the feedback about the video, I've very conscious of how I present to camera. This is all quite new to me so I'm working hard to improve my delivery and quality of the video I'm capturing. So your feedback is very encouraging, thank you! :)
Hello Andrew... I am still working my way in reverse order watching your captivating videos. ( Not really sure why I'm doing that! ) On your cricket shoot I posed the question on BB focusing & it has been answered with this video. It didn't take me long to realize all the positive benefits because there are no negatives. I use it on high speed wildlife shots, portrait work, landscapes, you name it. Anyway, your practical approach to compose the image, looking at the available light, when & when not to use filters has been a tremendous help for me moving forward. Keep up the good work. Bill @ WGF Studio53...
Cheers Bill, yeah I'm with you on the BB focusing. the only negative I can think of is that it can take a couple of session to get used to it, but that's not bad at all! Glad you're enjoying the content mate!
Hi Andrew, your videos are very helpful for photography novices like me who find it hard to look for a composition in a given surrounding. These videos very well serve as a virtual photo-walk with an experienced person and I think that's the best way to learn. As a small suggestion, while you are filming your video at a given location, can you provide a wide angle 360 deg view and explain why you are choosing a given frame(area within the given space)? I usually end up super confused when I am out in locations either because everything looks photogenic or nothing really stands out. You have a great vision for composition and I would like to know your thought process a bit more. Having that said, your content is the ideal for up and coming photography enthusiasts. Keep it up and thanks !
Thank so much, I have created two videos on Post-processing, check out, "Landscape Photography - Sunset Post-processed in Lightroom" and "Landscape Photography - ND Filters Effects plus Post Processing in Lightroom". Alternatively I've created a playlist where you can find both of these and any others that I upload in the future. - ua-cam.com/play/PLNOHFoI3ag0qj7qb-nLrHwo9BakJx2VSd.html
Have you been to Noble Falls? I always find that spot a bit challenging to come up with something different and there is quite often a lot of foam in the water which further complicates the process. Would like to see how you handle it.
Im new here and thanks for talking (and showing) the focusing part. Was so confused with focus in landscape photography and you helped a little bit. Also can you show (when you can) in your next videos where you focus. You got a new subscriber ;)
Firstly, welcome to my channel and thanks for subscribing. I'll make a concerted effort to point out my focus point in more of the images I take. Thanks for you comment and the suggestion!
Thanks so much, I discovered your channel a few nights ago...awesome music you're sharing there! I'm always looking for music I can use on my videos, from what I can tell you share the music but if want to use the music I need to contact the artist directly. This that right?
I promote a lot of tracks on my channel which are sometimes copyrighted! You can always see in my description if you can use the song with proper credit or not. I hope this helps you! :)
Thanks for taking the time to video the whole surrounding area as well as the specific areas you select - it's neat to try and visualize what other shots could be there, or what led you to select these particular places. Really good descriptions of the settings and composition (in particular). A question: while the light was fading you kept increasing your shutter length (8-10 seconds) - any reason why you wouldn't keep it down around 2 seconds or so and increase the ISO (8sec -> 2sec, ISO100 -> ISO400)?
Thanks Alan, glad you're enjoying that aspect of the videos. I thought it might be interesting to some people who haven't been to the location/area/country. Also it tells the story of me exploring the place and actually discovering the compositions. There were a bunch of potential spots where I didn't take a shot because I wanted to focus on just a few. It provides a great excuse to go back there again and take some more photos. You are right, I could have changed my ISO. There's really no reason why I didn't, I just had it in my mind that the exposure was going to be a little longer and I was looking forward to seeing what that was going to look like. Thanks again for your comment mate! :)
Ola Andrew, estou muito feliz por voçê estar disponibilizando tantos vídeos sobre fotografia de paisegem. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho! Não pude deixar de notar que vc usa a fotometria pontual. Alguma razão específica para este modo de medição?
Thank you Paulo, so glad you are enjoying the videos. I shoot landscapes with the camera in manual mode. Once I compose the shot, I switch the camera into ‘Live’ view that displays the image on the back of the camera. I use the histogram that I have set up over the top of the image to monitor the exposure and adjust ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed accordingly. The histogram takes into account the entire image. I must have changed the metering mode to spot for a portrait and not turned it back, as I use the histogram to evaluate my exposure, it doesn’t really matter. The meter mode only matters when you are getting the camera to automatically adjust the exposure. Thanks for your question!
Ok....muito obrigado pela explicação.....comecei há pouco tempo fotografar paisagens! A utilidade do histograma no Live view é realmente fantástica, vou verificar se na minha D610 ela está disponível neste modo......receio que não. Gosto muito dos tons quentes que vc dá as imagens. Parabéns novamente.
Your welcome Paulo. It a shame that the D610 doesn’t display the Histogram in Live view. I’ve had a quick look at the manual online and it looks like you can only access the histogram in Play Back mode. This is still helpful as you can monitor it, as you review the shot you’ve just taken.
My favourite picture was the first one You showed in the video. However I liked it more before cropping, Just as we saw it on your back screen. I have a question about filters. Have You used some budget filters? Those made by Lee are quite expensive.
Thanks very much for sharing your feedback. I understand your point. The reason why I cropped the shot was to take out a few distractions, there was a tree on the left that looked like it could make up it's mind whether to be in the shot, cheers! :)
Sorry about that, filters tend to be one of those things that you get what you pay for. Cheaper filters has two main problems, one they cast a colour across your image and two, they fade or scratch over time. So eventually you'll need to replace them. I use Lee, there are more expensive one but for me Lee are a good brand for what I can afford. Hope that helps! :)
Andrew Marr , were you in aperture priority while taking these photos? I did see the M on your camera screen and you said you were using back button focus. I just bought a Nikon D750 and was trying out back button focus while on a boat but gave up and switched to manual because I couldn't get good images with the automatic modes. I still have a lot to learn especially on where to focus in order to get a sharp image from front to back.
Thanks Joe, nope I was in full manual mode (that's what 'M' stands for on a Nikon). The back button focus is focusing and that is auto (when I push that button). BBF takes a little getting used to, perhaps a few outings. If you can stick with it because I've found it so helpful! Sharpen images from front to back need a small aperture (large f-stop number), and I tend to focus around one third of the way into the image. If you really want to get fancy, there's focus stacking but that can get tricky.
Andrew, I noticed your D810 shows the jpeg result immediately after you take the image in live view mode. My D800e does not, I have to press the back arrow button to bring up the jpeg result. Another good video.
Thanks Steve! Interesting, I actually use a D800, so it should be exactly like the D800e. Have a look in the playback options of the camera's menu, I'm pretty sure there'll be a n option there, cheers. :)
Thanks Steven, I started out with an old GoPro 3 I had but after the Margaret River video, I upgraded to a Canon GX7 Markii. For audio I've just started using a RODE SmartLav + plugged into my iPhone. Are you considering your options for upgrading your gear?
Andrew Marr cheers Andrew! Yeah the last couple I filmed on my iPhone 7 but it's not handy if you need to use it in between filming. The GoPro is handy but I've been looking at the Canon G7X II or the Sony RX100 IV. Just a bit undecided. Are you just recording in 1080P? Thanks
Yeah, just 1080 on the Canon G7Xii, from what I've read both a great cameras so you can't go wrong. The biggest point for me what I wanted the flip up screen to help me frame the shot that I was capturing. So what was inconvenient about the iPhone 7? I was considering buying an OSMO Mobile to use with my iPhone.
Andrew Marr yeah the flip screen is probably one of my biggest reasons for changing. The iPhone is great but I found sometimes unless I turned it onto airplane mode, I'd be filming and maybe a notification came through - just tiny little things like that. I've also been looking at the Osmo mobile too. Looks pretty amazing!
Excellent Video and info on your composition, Great results with the photos. Thanks for sharing.
Very educational. thanks, Andrew! Liked all the pictures. Also, 5:59 - Interesting foreground subject for a photograph.
Thanks mate, glad you found the video informative. I think your right even though the light was harsh there may have been a image there! :)
I enjoyed your video. The camera settings were helpful as well as the your thoughts regarding the compositions. Thank you.

Great video as always Andrew. I am watching your video and see some nice contrasting elements: dark water, white water, grey rocks and red rocks. For me I see some possibilities in not only broad landscape but also more intimate minimalist landscapes. Some close up compositions and some possible telephoto shots. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you John, you make an interesting point. You're probably right, there were some opportunities for a more intimate landscapes that focused more on texture and colour of some of the elements. I might make that a topic of a future video, cheers mate!
Done it again mate - great video and love the images so thanks for posting.
My pleasure David, thank very much! :)
Lovely video as always Andrew, I really liked the first composition. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for that John, I really appreciate you spending the time going back and watch some of my older video. Hopefully I've improved my video skills since then, cheers! :)

Thanks for taking the time to video the whole surrounding area as well as the specific areas you select - it's neat to try and visualize what other shots could be there, or what led you to select these particular places. Really good descriptions of the settings and composition (in particular). A question: while the light was fading you kept increasing your shutter length (8-10 seconds) - any reason why you wouldn't keep it down around 2 seconds or so and increase the ISO (8sec -> 2sec, ISO100 -> ISO400)?
Thanks Alan, glad you're enjoying that aspect of the videos. I thought it might be interesting to some people who haven't been to the location/area/country. Also it tells the story of me exploring the place and actually discovering the compositions. There were a bunch of potential spots where I didn't take a shot because I wanted to focus on just a few. It provides a great excuse to go back there again and take some more photos. You are right, I could have changed my ISO. There's really no reason why I didn't, I just had it in my mind that the exposure was going to be a little longer and I was looking forward to seeing what that was going to look like.

Ola Andrew, estou muito feliz por voçê estar disponibilizando tantos vídeos sobre fotografia de paisegem. Parabéns pelo seu trabalho! Não pude deixar de notar que vc usa a fotometria pontual. Alguma razão específica para este modo de medição?
Thank you Paulo, so glad you are enjoying the videos. I shoot landscapes with the camera in manual mode. Once I compose the shot, I switch the camera into ‘Live’ view that displays the image on the back of the camera. I use the histogram that I have set up over the top of the image to monitor the exposure and adjust ISO, Aperture and Shutter Speed accordingly. The histogram takes into account the entire image. I must have changed the metering mode to spot for a portrait and not turned it back, as I use the histogram to evaluate my exposure, it doesn’t really matter. The meter mode only matters when you are getting the camera to automatically adjust the exposure. Thanks for your question!
Ok....muito obrigado pela explicação.....comecei há pouco tempo fotografar paisagens! A utilidade do histograma no Live view é realmente fantástica, vou verificar se na minha D610 ela está disponível neste modo......receio que não. Gosto muito dos tons quentes que vc dá as imagens. Parabéns novamente.
Your welcome Paulo. It a shame that the D610 doesn’t display the Histogram in Live view. I’ve had a quick look at the manual online and it looks like you can only access the histogram in Play Back mode. This is still helpful as you can monitor it, as you review the shot you’ve just taken.
ok...é.isto mesmo.

My favourite picture was the first one You showed in the video. However I liked it more before cropping, Just as we saw it on your back screen. I have a question about filters. Have You used some budget filters? Those made by Lee are quite expensive.
Thanks very much for sharing your feedback. I understand your point. The reason why I cropped the shot was to take out a few distractions, there was a tree on the left that looked like it could make up it's mind whether to be in the shot, cheers! :)
Andrew Marr and what about filters? Have You used some budget ones?
Sorry about that, filters tend to be one of those things that you get what you pay for. Cheaper filters has two main problems, one they cast a colour across your image and two, they fade or scratch over time. So eventually you'll need to replace them. I use Lee, there are more expensive one but for me Lee are a good brand for what I can afford. Hope that helps! :)
Andrew Marr , were you in aperture priority while taking these photos? I did see the M on your camera screen and you said you were using back button focus. I just bought a Nikon D750 and was trying out back button focus while on a boat but gave up and switched to manual because I couldn't get good images with the automatic modes. I still have a lot to learn especially on where to focus in order to get a sharp image from front to back.
Thanks Joe, nope I was in full manual mode (that's what 'M' stands for on a Nikon). The back button focus is focusing and that is auto (when I push that button). BBF takes a little getting used to, perhaps a few outings. If you can stick with it because I've found it so helpful! Sharpen images from front to back need a small aperture (large f-stop number), and I tend to focus around one third of the way into the image. If you really want to get fancy, there's focus stacking but that can get tricky.
cool video
Thanks very much! :)
Andrew, I noticed your D810 shows the jpeg result immediately after you take the image in live view mode. My D800e does not, I have to press the back arrow button to bring up the jpeg result. Another good video.
Thanks Steve! Interesting, I actually use a D800, so it should be exactly like the D800e. Have a look in the playback options of the camera's menu, I'm pretty sure there'll be a n option there, cheers. :)
Another cool video Andrew - what gear are you using to Vlog?
Thanks Steven, I started out with an old GoPro 3 I had but after the Margaret River video, I upgraded to a Canon GX7 Markii. For audio I've just started using a RODE SmartLav + plugged into my iPhone. Are you considering your options for upgrading your gear?
Andrew Marr cheers Andrew! Yeah the last couple I filmed on my iPhone 7 but it's not handy if you need to use it in between filming. The GoPro is handy but I've been looking at the Canon G7X II or the Sony RX100 IV. Just a bit undecided. Are you just recording in 1080P? Thanks
Yeah, just 1080 on the Canon G7Xii, from what I've read both a great cameras so you can't go wrong. The biggest point for me what I wanted the flip up screen to help me frame the shot that I was capturing. So what was inconvenient about the iPhone 7? I was considering buying an OSMO Mobile to use with my iPhone.
Andrew Marr yeah the flip screen is probably one of my biggest reasons for changing. The iPhone is great but I found sometimes unless I turned it onto airplane mode, I'd be filming and maybe a notification came through - just tiny little things like that. I've also been looking at the Osmo mobile too. Looks pretty amazing!
Good to know, it does look like pretty cool technology. Were you using the front camera for your footage? Was that 1080?
Thx for the vid, great info. Next time don't wear black or blue shirt for they attract flies.
Thanks Guy! I'll remember that tip, cheers mate. There were so many of them thought I don't think it mattered :)
