How could anyone get bored with a series of your happy smiling face,,, I mean Lofoten 🙂 Good to hear you explain your thoughts and see how well the place still looks without snow, looking forward to part 3
....or perhaps "wonderful?" Very nice Stuart, as we've come to expect. The photo's composition gets the fore-mid-background relationship in a way that works wonders.
Life is tough in Lofoten NOT - I've had a hard decision to make about which cup cake I would choose too, so opted out! Just my humour, Stuart - you have a wonderful, I'm immensely jealous, not bitter.
Noticed the extra effort put into the production of this video…made a difference and I think regular viewers will appreciate it. My personal taste for wide angle portrait shots, is a little less foreground and a little more of those wonderful mountains
Thanks, my personal preference isn’t to shoot this sort of stuff full stop but you work within the constraints of the conditions presented, the approach you mention would have been entirely unsuitable given relatively flat light and lack of interest on the mountains themselves, on another day perhaps.
Great video Stuart, thank you. I always find it interesting to hear your thought process when composing your images. Great shots, I especially like the last image in landscape format. Looking forward to part 3!
What a beautiful location. Mrs G-J has promised me a trip over there and I can’t wait for it to happen. Really enjoyed the talks through your ideas, especially about walking the foreground, and some lovely photos as a result. Your patience was certainly rewarded with some nice light too. Looking forward to the next video 😊
Enjoyed the discussion about working the scene Stuart and really liked the final image with the interesting foreground linking up to the background via the reflection of the mountain in the water. The difference in the conditions between this year and last year is indeed striking but at least it gives you a broader appreciation of what the range might be for future workshops or personal trips back
Hi stuart, another interesting and engaging video, thanks for sharing. You make as many videos from a place as you like, I learn loads ... thankyou. I really like the last image too, though any one of them I'd have been more than happy to have made.
I like the use of the drone while talking about the scence, not seen that before and that whole sequence was very well edited it looking smooth ans seamless :)
Thanks for another great video, and your generosity in sharing your thought process in constructing the image, particularly liked the comment re the importance of linking fore/middle/background parts the image.
A really great insight into how you work your scene and what to look for, great images too ! Glad to see that Kase polariser is working well for you ! Great work as always, ps the drone shot looking down while talking was fantastic! Really gave a better understanding, I’m going to be stealing that ;)
Yet another great vlog from a fabulous location! Very insightful too, especially seeing the process of finding the most pleasing composition. It works too, judging by the beautiful images. Go on, spoil us with another one from Lofoten, I dare you 😉😂
Great video! I struggle sometimes to tie it all in together, either find an interesting foreground and can't tie it into the background, or have an amazing subject, but no foreground. I like when lens/setting info is displayed with the shot, but as unobtrusive as possible.

Cheers Andrew well of course I’m a beacon of positivity
That final shot was absolutely stunning

Thanks very much
Haha yes I'm banned from using the word stunning
You certainly did justice to the fabulous locations. Looking forward to the next video.
thanks Robin

Thanks mate it's well worth a visit
Helpful to see your thought process set out in this video and good link to what's coming next week - now looking forward to seeing your Aurora images!
Thanks mate yeah there's some good stuff coming next week
As promised watching tonight, I really need to get up to Norway ( learned a bit of Bokmal over lockdown need to go before I forget it all!)

Very kind Jim thanks yeah the conditions were a huge contrast and at times quite tough going (through the daytime anyway)
Always enjoy your videos Stu. Nice to see a place through the eyes of someone who gets it.
Cheers pal

Thanks mate yes I’d been meaning to do something like with the drone though I’m always forgetting. Does add another layer though
Interesting thought process, excellent video
