Tim is an excellent presenter. No ego. Speaks clearly and does not include any fluff. He provides several outstanding tutorial tips. Have a notepad ready. Quality instructor.
I can see why you say that your photo is #1 on your list as the best one ever. I could not come up with a word or words that would describe how awesome that photo is Tim , just awesome. For me I love water photos of all kinds likes creeks, streams, lakes but my dream would be getting a shot of a waterfall, I love waterfalls.
Wow ! This is an absolute stunner ! Another proof that you need to be there and ready to take a photo.Never knowing
what will be thrown at you ! Congratulations.
Thanks so much Renee! You definitely have to put in the time and make the effort. It is hard work! :-) But fun...
Back in the film days, my favorite shots in the desert (Petrified Forest National Park) were right after a thundershower. The wet, petrified tree trunks (agate) were full of color. Our monsoon is usually July into early August. It's slightly better to stay in Springerville, AZ vs. Winslow. If you're driving north, you get the light just right.
Your approach to creating all the fabulous photos you have made. (Ansel Adams) "You don't take pictures: You make them"; is like mine. When approaching a problem in getting the shot you want, you improvise, adapt original plan to fit the situation. Your last photo on this video is a perfect example of what I'm saying. I like that; you even figured out a workaround for not having the proper component for shooting lightening bolts. Great video, and keep shooting.
WOW, what a passionate approach to photography. We have quite the same background, having a regular job and photography as a hobby... and then trying to take the photography to a new level. I will never come to your level and I congratulates you to all the awards, but I certainly got inspired to improve my level.
Wow impressive shoot Tim, yeah I'm completely agreed with you regarding flexibility and adapting to the weather condition in this case but also can be applied for a daily life.
When you adapt your self instead try adapting things to your desire here is where the magic happen and this photo is the best example.
You adapted to the conditions and extract the best out of it, this is much better than a sunset as sunset will happen regularly but this capture as u said is one's in a life time.
I have a dream too and is capturing a lightning in a mountain lake reflection so thanks for sharing and remember us how important is to be flexible and open mind
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Great analogy between photography and life Andrea. Thanks for your comment here!
a photo like you did on that gorgeous lavender field
That lavender field with the lightning is probably the best photo ever seen in a long time
Wow! Amazing.
I'm looking forward to becoming a Great photographer
Beautiful shot of lightning!!
My dream photo is a portrait! I really need more tutorials on these
Wow great shot, how lucky were you. There are a few dust spots you need to clean up though 😀
TKU for the details for taking lightning photos. I aim is for fabulous landscapes shots.
For me my absolute highlight would be a lightning like this but in the mountains of Austria. This photo is an absolute winner, thanks for sharing.
I like to capture Landscape and macro photography the most.
I agree with all the previous comments, awesome, stunning, beautiful, amazing, as we say in Scotland "That's Cracking"! Wow some image, you must have been so so pleased with your mind set change, a lesson to be banked for sure, thanks Tim, can't wait for V3
Thank you so much! Greatly appreciated! Cracking! Love it.
Rainbow over a City.👏🙏
Thank you so much..Tim..I was always interested in photos as kid but I didn't act on it until a friend bought me a camera as a present then I took off with it. People made good comments but don't really think m that good but like u said..I want to learn more..I am really interested in Landscape Photography..
All about being patient with #mothernature ...it paid off for you...cracking capture mate
Beautiful photo! A lighthouse with water in the background during a thunderstorm would be lovely 😍
OMG 😱 that's absolutely awesome! ❤
Beautiful photo, Tim!
Tim, your lightning photo is one of the coolest photos I've ever seen! Thanks for sharing.
Amazing picture of lighting wow
The perfect woodland photo with fog and rocks, and great foliage is my dream photo. And your photos is absolutely inspiring and beautiful. I had to pause the video and take it in.
AWESOME !!! Absolutely awesome Tim. WE see why you place such a high rating on that photo as it stunning. Thank you for sharing. WE have only recently started down the long exposure landscape photography path but are loving it so far. Before this we were mainly into wildlife photography and, of course, not anywhere close to your expertise. But one can always fantasize, can't one ? Keep the videos coming. Bill & Deb
Thank you so much Bill and Deb! Much appreciated!
Beautiful photo Tim. Patience, persistence and ability to adapt are attributes we all need. Congratulations
Thanks for this Tim, Great photo. I was a film photographer/developer in my teens and I have been trying to capture those days (without success), having watched your videos i realise that I have become a snapper instead of a photographer, I can't decide what I want!!! Thanks for helping me realise this and what i now want is to go back to my favourite spot, Lyle Hill in Greenock Scotland and capture a storm travelling up the river. I have so many photos of this area but that is my target set. Thanks
Tim, great video and what a beautiful Image. For me, capturing a waterfall and sunset would be my goal. Thanks again for your videos. Retired here in Vegas but born in New Westminster, BC.
Thanks Douglas! Much appreciated. Enjoy Nevada! And make sure you are driving out to Death Valley to get some great sand dune shots at sunrise. And Valley of Fire. And Horseshoe Bend. And Toroweap Point. And The Wave.
That photo is beautiful! Looking forward to the third video ✌️
Thanks William!
Stunning image, Tim, really!!! Thanks for video, i go fast to number three.....
That's my dream photo I have been talking pictures of lightning for a long a I can remember.
Stunning! Truly a gift from Angels or the Weather God. Such a great lesson in learning to step out of our photo agendas and open up to the NOW! I think I took my dream photo many years ago when I hardly knew anything about photography. I was shooting in auto from our boat off the Kona coast. As I turned around, a whale not far from our boat came plunging down and sideways and I, without thinking, shot the photo. I had no idea what I captured. It was in the days of take your film to the store and hope things turn out all right. Most whale photos I see are of them with tales up or in breach position. But this was something I'd never really seen before. To this day, I love this photo even though it probably had every setting wrong. LOL Thanks Tim... BTW what were the settings on the lightening photo.
You are amazing Tim 😁😁
I want to get into landscape photography. And Cityscapes too.
Excellent and very clear explanation! Thanks for Jim for sharing the valuable experience!!
WOWWWWWWW its amazing I can't tell you more then this , my dream photo is Milky Way in the desert , because last year I was in the desert of Morocco and I didn't waked up , when I wake up the sun rise its all ready up .
that photo is wowowow. I never knew how to catch lighting, thanks for sharing..
Tim, I’m hoping to capture a stunning photo of the Aurora Borealis. Preferably where there is a waterfall in the foreground that I was able to backlight with LED colored light. Crazy, right?
I'm so happy for you. That day was just incredible. I was not lucky as you to get that shot, but just now seeing this video and watching you, make me feel so good hehe
Tim sir, can your share your stupendous landscape shots from your stored gallery ?? Coz i 'm really fall'n love with your photos
incredible shot, it's so much better than a usual sunset or seascapes, but I wonder why you don't post process it and increase the exposure a little bit on the dark lavender field
I might boost the light a little. The edit was a quick five minute job on a laptop just in time to create this video. I will spend more time on it soon.
Tim Shields do you usually edit the photo in LightRoom as a one whole piece using the sliders ? or do you use some recommended approach that you work on the photo as parts using multiple graduated filters and circular filters along with the brush on the exact areas in the photo to be edited ?
That picture is truly amazing. I am pretty new to digital photography and am really interested in landscape and severe weather photographs. I was hoping to hear more about the histogram and what to look for to make sure the skies are not blown out. Heading to Maui soon and hoping to get that sunset photo of a lifetime. Thanks for the videos.
Kevin
Lighting and fireworks excite me a lot but are difficult to capture
Great info, keep them coming
Being a news phographer may first choice.... lighting
my dream photo would be a thunder like this one over a stormy seascape
Mine too! Watch the weather and head to the coast when it is stormy and you will get your photo!
Thanks for this, i would never have thought about it! I Can`t wait for the rainy season to come, i want to capture some nice landscapes with some lightning in it! Greetings From Sunny South Africa the land with beautiful sunsets and some amazing lightning opportunities.
Thank you so much for writing all the way from sunny South Africa! Happy shooting! (photography shooting)
Taking a image where I have done everything right, and this could be wildlife, landscape, portrait, and still life. I have been successful and donated some of my photos witch sold. I still struggle with blown highlights.
A real great shot you made in the lavender field! Congratulations! hope that one day there is a possibility for a workshop with you, here in Europe😊
awesome image sir. I would like to be able also to learn how to take lightning photos.
I planned a trip to Switzerland once and timed it to coincide with a super moon. I did a great deal of internet inquiry so I would know when and where to be and decided on the Rhein Falls. I kind of did the same thing as you. I got into position, I knew exactly where and what time that moon would rise over the falls and railroad bridge. I was there and it was cloudy, beginning to rain and I decided to take a photo and just tell people that is where the super moon was when I clicked. Lightning struck but I was not ready for it as you were. I was not even close to what your shot is, not even close. But, I did get a shot and told people about all the time I prepared and studied the timing and position. There won't be another chance for me on that one as you tell us about fatal error. However, I will definitely consider low ISO, high number fstop and slow shutter next time I have a chance.
Great learning video Tim. My dream shot is not as time sensitive. I would say it's a more treacherous outing. Sunset at Lake Abraham with the frozen methane bubbles. Have you done this and if so, can you share.
Sunset
My dream photo is taking one like Peter Lik did of the mountain side with the moon real big. But I had to sell all my camera (Nikon) gear to finish building my house. But maybe I’ll get back into it some day. I’ll try and send you a picture of mine that I’m proud of.
I hope you get back into photography and start creating your own art through pictures. But first, get that house finished!
Beautiful images Tim. I love the lightning shot. Isn't it a thrill when you capture your first strike of lightning? And you got the motherlode on your first attempt! Great! Mine was a single streak of lightning in a very green sky, over bland foreground. But ever since it's been one of my favorite things to do, go chasing storms and lightning shots.
I do however have an issue with the lavender fields. I know they're beautiful and very photogenic, but they're also someone's crops. I just hope everyone in that shot was allowed to be there, that you all had permission from the farmer, and were mindful of not trampling the plants. There's been a lot of controversy lately with people doing whatever they want, whatever it takes just to get the shot. Mostly IG influencers, but we as photographers are kind of to blame. We're the ones who took the initial shots; the same photos that these people are inspired to seek out for themselves. Sometimes at a detriment to the land or even themselves. I'm not saying you did, but I think when we do vlogs or take these types of photos in sensitive areas, we need to say hey, this was shot with permission (or from the public roadway), or this shot of a grizzly bear was shot with a 500 mm lens. I sometimes wonder what these warriors with crappy cell phones set out to capture, if they realize they really shouldn't get a selfie with an alligator. LOL
I recently joined the Nature First Alliance. Perhaps as a responsible photographer, you might take a look and lead by their principles and promote them as well. Here's a link to their website. www.naturefirstphotography.org/ I encourage you to share with your followers as well. Thanks!
Thanks Barbara. All very good points.
Stunning photograph :) I would love to take a really good sunset.
Great story.
Why keep the sensor dust in the shot?
Hello Tim my goal is to get my work published, be it a stunning sunset, water fall or long exposure, am just about to retire
Hi Tim, I'm dying to take a stunning picture of lightning ! Never been able to do so. Greetings from Belgium
Hi Gert! Thanks for writing!
My dream photo would be a farm field during a lightning storm.
WOW!!!
My dream photo is the one everybody can recognise and remember
Which lens do u use for landscape sir...impressed by ur photos.
Can do this landscape photography with right exposure ,with sky and the object without post processing it
I would like a landscape photo having a lot of drama and which tells a deep story
Hi Tim, great videos and channel. How do you get the huge histogram on playback, i cant seem to do this on my D850.? Thank you..
Tim in landscape photography, would you ever use selective focusing using depth of field/bokeh. Meaning would you ever have a foreground object out of focus to put the emphasis on another part of the image - OR - does every image need to be tack sharp all the way thru?
Wow! Weren't you worried about being struck by lightning with a tripod in an open field? Lol. Funny you ask what my ideal photo would be.......I honestly don't know. It depends on what speaks to me at the time. The quieter, less people, wilder and natural, the better, whether that involves wildlife, nature or a combination or an incredible play of light. I guess it's what makes my heart skip a beat as soon as I see it and often I have to ask myself what it is in the scene that captures me.....is it primarily the light or the colours, the symmetry or whatever....and then try and capture that element first and foremost and use the rest of the scene to highlight that element(s). Does that make sense?
With a 5 sec shutter speed how did the lightning come out sharp? I assume a narrow exposure?
Thank you for Great Traps
Hi Tim, question on lenses, is it best to use native lenses or is third party lenses ok ?? On a Nikon d850
Thanks Colleen
Magic photo mate.
My dream photo at the moment is of a white/grey horse comimg out of thick fog. Just the head and neck. Portrait sytle if you like.
Thanks so much.... and your horse shot sounds epic! You need to visit the Camargue in France. I was just there. Video coming soon I hope :-)
Sunset or sunrise landscape photo
Hello Sir,. Can you help me to find the Right Lens for Landscape Photos. now i an using the canon lens 10-18mm. pls give some ideas,Thank you
I dream of taking a photo that someone can’t wait to hang on their wall. My mission statement is to take “soul bending images “
That is an awesome phrase! I am going to remember that one!
May I ask why you chose to center the tree in the lavender field shot, versus placing it in the thirds?
Hi Dave, I tried a one third shot and I found the balance & symmetry composition with the tree in the middle to be more dramatic.
Funny enough...I just did a Facebook live today about this very thing inside the Photography Academy Facebook group.
Balance and symmetry shots are better for a "hero" shot. In this case the tree was the hero.
Tim Shields Hey thanks for reaching out back to me! I’m gonna be starting your six week course in the next day or less! Looking forward!
@@daver9643 awesome Dave. I think you will love it.
angry sea storm on land lol
Hey Tim I had just turn 13 and I was wondering what type of camera you have?
H wildest! Welcome to my channel! I use a Nikon D850.
@@TimShieldsPhotography I just found a Nikon d5300 for quite cheap and I've been looking into landscape photography like you, I was wondering if that's recommend for a beginner.
My dogs
You had to keep taking 5 second shots for about 12 almost 13 minutes to get the lightning 🌩 shot by my estimation.
I registered , landscape photography secrets, more than 12 hours ago and I still have NOT received an answer. How can I contact you ? I feel like I’ve been scammed

I'm very angry about that image. Happy for you, but angry that I didn't take it.
