I really like to see the post processing of the exposure / focus stacking on the shot of the tree/lake/mountain @ 9:22.
Thanks for the honest video Nigel ! Not everyone will admit there mistakes, but that's where we also learn a lot. ;)
Your cinematography got so good that I find myself watching these videos just for the relaxing effect. I do understand you have to setup the camera for every shot, even the ones where you are in the distance, all by yourself. You are doing an amazing job. I send these videos to my friends and my girlfriend just so they could look at the beautiful scenery. Just wanted to let you know that it pays off. :)
My vote is for a session on stacking for exposure and focus in LR. As well, sometimes landscape photography is like wildlife photography where we keep thinking we will find the animal "just over the next hill" rather than doing research, as you did, and hunkering down in one spot and waiting for things to develop. Thanks!
What happened was completely understandable. The conditions were almost perfect for you, and you got excited. Your mind was focused on multiple amazing shots all at the same time, forgetting about how things can & will change from moment to moment. In other words, you got caught up in the moment.
And to be honest, most of us would have done the same thing. But you still not only got some amazing shots, but you also were able to 'experience' them, and that's just as important. So don't be disappointed. Time has a way of sometimes repeating itself.
BTW, that scene at about 7:44 (of the camera on the tripod out of focus in the foreground) for me is one of the shots I liked as well.
Keep up the amazing work. We all appreciate it.
Always interested in seeing how you stack images Nigel , something I need to think about in the field and then have the confidence to process back home
I want to learn to photostsack. I also believe woodland is my biggest struggle. Unless there is a waterfall or foreground, I find woodland hard to find composition. Fog is always amazing. I love watching you grow man as a photographer. Your videos are so uplifting.
To be out on mornings like this are just a blessing!
Always a pleasure...thanks Nigel. We are all human. See u next week😊🍂🍂🍂
Another great video! I appreciate you sharing the “less successful” shoots as well as the successful ones too. Honestly I don’t know how you record video, get the drone up, and shoot stills. Lastly, I’d love to see a video of your exposure blend with focus stacking process.
Massive congrats Nigel on reaching 250k here on the tube. Always a joy to watch your films and see your fantastic photography. Here's to the next 250k, take care.
I loved the shots you got Nigel, particularly the one with the fence in the water. You and Thomas Heaton are masters of what you do and I personally have learned so much from you. You also create incredible broadcast quality documentaries.
Great production values Nigel. Your short videos are, in themselves, works of art. And yes please, bring on the stacking lesson.
Nigel where have you left the great friend of all viewers?
It was another inspiring video. On to the next educational video.
Thank you for your efforts.
What a magnificent location you share with us Nigel. Unfortunately here in Western Australia we don’t know what fog/ ice or snow is. Beautiful location you show us today is very special. Thank you. Neville.
Love your video Nigel. As a new photographer I can completely relate to your panic feeling. Patience is not my strong suit and it means so much to see that someone as talented as you makes mistakes also. Thanks for putting that out there.
Love the drone view, your photos generally, your instructive comments, your enthusiasm and your honesty... and your engagement with Pebbles. Thank you.
Thanks for all you do. Your weekly video is a highlight of my Sunday. I am learning so much from you, as a hobbyist photographer it helps me alot. Don't be so hard on yourself, I really connect with the experience of learning through mistakes. Though your wonder and positivity encourages me to keep pushing myself. Thanks.
Thanks Paul
Yes please, Nigel, regards your info on stacking images.
Your videos are always interesting, whatever you do.
I always look forward to watching them.
I did exactly the same at Rydal Water yesterday! Running around rather than sticking it out! Good to hear that even the best do this from time to time! Makes me feel better about it! Lol! Great video as always Nigel! All the best
I really appreciate that you not only include the shots you don't think quite work, but highlight what specifically you think don't work compositionally about them. I struggle with composition and I find seeing the what-not-to-do immensely helpful. Thanks for all the great content!
Yes, seeing your focus and exposure stacking procedures would be great. Thanks for asking!
Big fan of seeing the photos you weren't happy with, and the specifics as to why you didn't like them. Biggest learning tool for me personally.
8:39 I love this picture. So simple, but the colours are amazing. Good job!
I appreciate everything you are teaching is Nigel. I look forward to more great lessons in the near future!
I really respect you sir for you contribution to the photographers. Too much to learn and still never enough. It inspires me to see your dedication to the camera. I hope I could be a good photographer someday. Thank you so much.
It's so nice to see how much you enjoy your time in the field, whether you're getting the shots or not. The rich man is the one who is happy with his lot. And the wise man in you then learns from the experience.
I'd like to see the focus and exposure stacking processing in LR.
And Congrats on 250K Nigel.
You have only gone and done it. 250k subs. Congratulations. Your content is the best. Inspirational and honest. It's helped me to develop own skills as a photographer. Which I can't thank u enough for as it's been a rough year for us all. Keep it up and all the best for the future.
Hey Nigel, i absolutely love all your your videos. i've been shooting seriously now for only a few month but you've helped me tremendously. Just wanted to say thanks. cheers!
Nigel, love your work and your videos.
I learn so much and really really enjoy them.
Thanks so much.
Excellent video's Nigel, well presented and very informative. Nothing is predictable with the great UK weather wherever you are :) Great work and look forward to watching and catching up on many I have missed too, VWD
Great video! I don't usually scramble to change locations....but I do oftentimes run around chasing compositions in a single location. It's not "slow down" relaxing, but getting into that flow state is still enjoyable.
Like many others here, I'm definitely interested in seeing how that exposure+focus stacked image came to life in lightroom!
Brilliant Video Nigel, great to see a persistent Landscape photographer at work - superb
Always enjoy seeing your work and listening to your commentary, Keep doing and sharing what you do. Thanks,
I love the shot with the mist in front of Catbells and the rocks in the foreground...
Yes please to focus and exposure stacking! Love your work
Yes, please show us how you do focus and exposure stacking.
I learn a lot from your videos, especially if you talk about "failures" (which would be great shots for me) and why you prefer one composition over another. Also, the videos are just fun to watch: relaxing, inspiring. I wonder how you manage to take the drone footage and still focus on your photos.
Mega excited now.....the trees are changing .. bring it on ......love it love it love it
I was there last week!!! My first time ever in the lake district. I have only one word to describe it: WOW
Very interesting Nigel, thanks for sharing. Yes, of course, I'm interested in exposure/focus Stacking
The stacking video? Yes please.
Some great photos from that trip Nigel.
Hello Nigel, I thoroughly enjoyed your still & drone photography which you are a master of! I always learn so much from you. You put the 'Fun into Fotography'. As I watch you I wish I was your best mate, so that I could go out also to enjoy and to learn. Have a Great Day Sir,
Thank you for your candor and honesty about going out and trying to chase the fog. I would like to see a video on how/when you choose go focus stack -vs- using hyperfocal distance focusing. And, how you process it in PS or LR. Thanks again.
I tried to wake up early a few times to catch the fog. Mist.
Amazing video Nigel! Yes, stacking sounds very interesting. Fabulous drone imagery. Thanks, always such good learning from your experience.
Another beautiful video...and yes, I'd love to see your stacking technique especially for the exposure.
Quite late today seeing this weeks video. Great as usual and I've shared it with my Group. Missed Pebbles, no fair. Got the new calendar a few days ago and love it. Stay well & stay healthy. Cheers from Florida, Rod
Stunning drone photography! I thought your final shot of the stacked tree roots was particularly beautiful.
Thanks Ralf
"The Aura of the Fog".... Loved it alot Sir Danson.. Take a bow 🙏
All the drone shots are amazing. I really enjoyed this video and yes, it would be really nice to learn to stack focus and exposure.
Thank you for all your tips and advice. You really inspire me to continue to improve my landscape photography.
Beautiful images. I took those same trees with excellent roots last year. And the little tree on the peninsula. 😀
The shot at 11.28 with trees and mountains in the background is beautiful! With a little mist it would be epic
I would love a video about your focus & exposure stacking technique!!! Lovely video, I so much appreciate the extra effort you put into every video!
A video about exposure and focus stacking would be incredibly helpful!👌
I’m sitting in my conservatory watching your video the sun is bright outside interspersed with rain and I miss being in the Lake District and you took me right back to some of the best photography I’ve done looking forward to going back again it’s a long way from Norfolk keep up the good work Mick G
Always enjoyable and informative. The cinematique b-roll was especially beautiful this time.
You still got stunning footage and images. The lakes are stunning and light/conditions constantly changing.
Thank you for sharing all your experience. It's wonderful. Would love to have a video on stacking.
Lovely photos. Really makes me miss being able to go to the Lake District
Yes please Nigel, I would appreciate you doing a video on how to process exposure and focus stacking in the same image....
Thank you so much for yet again a stunning video and an honest story on what seemed to go wrong on that epic morning. I learn so much more from you telling what you would do differently next time! You probably don't realise but your words resonate in my head when I am in the field and will hopefully keep me next time from running around from one spot to another.... something I always seem to do :-).
Yes please Nigel, I'd like a lesson on exposure and focus stacking. Many thanks for your excellent tuition through your videos. A big take-away from your videos for me is how you take the time to scout locations and walk around with no pressure looking for compositions.
Yep. Interested in your focus and exposure stacking workflow and techniques
Another great video. As National Geographic photographer Jim Richardson says, "If you want to be a better photographer, stand in front of more interesting stuff". I'm so jealous of your surroundings.
Top tip
I too would love a video on stacking, especially exposure stacking.
The stacking video would be great! :) thanks for taking us with you to this amazing place
Great Video Nigel, I stayed in Silloth on a cheap break 2 weeks ago ( not the nicest of places ) and spent the day in Keswick. Started up at Ashness Bridge where I took what must be my best Landscape shot ever, especially as I’m mainly a Street Photographer. We went in to Keswick for lunch with a plan of going around Derwentwater afterwards but the weather had other ideas.
I'd love to see the exposure and focus stacking process you use in LR! These videos are absolute gold!
Thank you for another fantastic video with superb photos n fantastic advices! I have been learning so much with theese, thank you! Cheers, from Portugal!
Good advice Nigel well it’s warming up here now so little chance of mist I do think it’s a great bonus for your images the reflected light in the mist too looks really interesting.
I’m a beginner and your videos help me so much! Thank you 😊
Thanks for this Nigel. Another excellent video and very different from the 'run of the mill'. Some practical and valuable learning points. Great!
We don't get too much fog here, but I was in the Smoky Mtns this week and got my first real experience - It's awesome, but also very tricky. I think I have a prefect shot, but by the time I set up etc it's gone or too thick! Hey - my copy of Vista's arrived today! - looking forward to having time to enjoy that. Thanks for doing the 2nd printing...
Nice to know even the experts chase their tail occasionally. Nice video, thank you.
I found your UA-cam vids during lockdown. I've never been a landscape photographer but I'm getting out there and doing a bit now. Thanks for the inspiration.
Love what you are doing. Keep up the great work. Thank you for sharing.
Mistakes are always the best learning resources ;-)
Thanks for sharing
I thought the shot of the fence in the water was a pretty awesome. Definitely one of my favorite images you've shown. Cheers!
Its lovely to watch your Autumn videos. I did not have much chance to get to do my Autumn shoots this year due to Covid in New Zealand. Its my favourite time of the year for photography. However your videos make up for it. I'm keeping all your wonderful ideas for 2021.
Hi Nigel, I'd really like to see the focus + exposure stacking in a later video. I do exposure stacking (HDR?) but not focus. It would be very interesting to see. Thanks for another great video!
Thank you - great video as usual. I would be very interested in seeing how you stack photos, particularly around focus stacking.
Thank you!
What a beautiful morning you had in the fog ✨🤩
Wow, love the aerial footage. I have a favorite lake I visit every winter here in New Zealand where mist is guaranteed on cool clear mornings. Like, unnaturally predictable thanks to a few topographic peculiarities. Getting an elevated shot of the mist hanging in the rainforest treetops is a dream of mine, but no drones allowed. I'm cool with that, but these shots have my imagination running wild!
Thanks again, Nigel. Yes, definitely interested in seeing your technique for stacking exposure and focus in Lightroom. Keep up the great work, we will all be with you well past the 250,000 milestone.
These photos are so beautiful! But that would be awesome for you do a video on focus stacking and exposure bracketing combined.
Lightroom tutorial in stacking: yes please!! Like your work! Just dreaming of coming over in hopefully short time from now
Thanks for sharing Nigel--good to keep in mind, but still you managed some great shots anyway. Definitely would like to see you stacking in Lightroom.
I would like to see how you processed the tree with the fabulous root system. I have made the same mistake in the past. You get someplace and get overwhelmed by the options and don't want to miss something so you move about and end up missing lots of things. It's hard to practice photographer patience when so much is stimulating your creative eye.
I’ve been feeling like I’ve been chasing recently, it really makes it hard to focus and be present. Thank you for sharing, its helpful and encouraging to know it’s not just me :)
Great video and great to see what works and what doesn't...congratulations on the viewers too. Well deserved. Great channel with great content!
What a great relaxing video, I would really like to see how to stack both focus and exposure at the same time
I've been following you for more than a year and watched previous videos too and I've gotta say your videography has improved a lot. Great editorial with cuts that make your footage look very neat. BTW my background is on film-making.
I'd love to see a focus stacking tutorial for a situation like that. It's one I find myself in all the time and I know there are millions of focus stacking videos out there but I think your calm, knowledgeable and enthusiastic approach would be brilliant! Thanks for the awesome content
I really enjoy your use of the Mavic in your videos. Really adds something and you get some great video footage! This time you used it for some scouting, which is a great idea. I'd like to see that Lightroom processing as I thought focus and exposure stacking would be a Photoshop task. I have no idea how to combine focus and exposure in a stack.
I am terrible for chasing conditions! I so rarely get out in fantastic conditions. So when I do, I run around like a mad thing and always feel like I’ve missed out on the best composition (as you say, probably the one I had in mind in the first place!) Great video and advice as always 👍
Demonstrate focus and exposure stacking? Oh heck yeah!
I love your drone work and the video compositions.
Lovely conditions Nigel, I see you succumbed to the 24-70 2.8 apart from the obvious larger aperture are you finding much difference in sharpness, I would imagine very little at the f8/11 mark.
Really look forward to your Sunday morning videos.
Nigel, I am finding that as I improve both behind the camera and with Lightroom, you are becoming my "go to" UA-camr for tips and insights. I too would love to see a video on stacking. Thanks for what you are doing ... really helpful content.
Wow, thanks!
I really love the lake photos and I am sure you will get there again for the perfect fog. Great location... Ohhhh and yes I would love to see the stacking...
