Really nice - I love how you start to piece together a study of the area, creating a kind of beautiful world to explore through image after image. Each is lovely as a stand alone photograph, but as a series or collection, they start to become an immersive experience. Lovely.
Martin, what a great location. The lighting is perfect. I would fill up a card there pretty fast. Is that your wife following behind you? That makes it even better that she would go with you. This was a fun video, shows the human side of you. Thanks for taking us along.
thanks! yes thats her, im glad you enjoyed it and im glad i come across as a human, my alien programmers will be most pleased that i have integrated into society unnoticed 😈👽
This was rather inspiring.Martin takes great pictures in places we can all access. He doesn't need far flung exotic places. Makes me want to try the same. That must be the mark of a good RUclipsr.
Hi Martin. This wonderful video took me back to when I was kid and used sneak into the Kensal Green Cemetery that was nearby with my mates to explore. I was back there recently and realised how corrupted my vision of what I was seeing had become as an adult compared to what I remembered seeing as a child. More of these thought provoking videos be appreciated. Enjoy the rest of your week.
I wish i had your eyes 👀 for woodland composition.I saw your video on the Canon 40d and how you wanted to bring it back in a video just to show what fun 😊 a photographer could have with it . Question is would you recommend a Canon 40D for a intermediate photographer just for fun?
Wow, really liked this one. It's cool to see how you absorb the surroundings and find all its beauty. What settings have you for your screen? I like how it is showing the image very close to the post edit image.
Greetings from Albania. Nearly finished my second week. Your lady must have the patience of a saint, shadowing you as went about your business. 🙂 You look like a couple of retired Ninjas 😀 I come from Appleby which is spitting distance from the Lake District, you should stop there if you're going by car, it's a beautiful small town. Thanks for the video mate, always inspiring! There's only one colour. CFC.
We are a couple of retired ninjas 🤣 how did you guess! Funny enough we made a very similar comment to this ourselves haha. Well I hope you are behaving yourself there. We go past Appleby often on the way into the lakes so I might stop by at some point t then and have a look about!
Great content from someone who lives in an area of the US where from November to April we are in clouds, not the misty nice to photograph but the mid-gray flat light ones. A good day is when there is a snow storm coming across Lake Ontario and dark clouds are foreboding and dramatic. Nice to see your approach.
cute planet of yours: your snow is green... thanks for the inspiration... forests have always been a good place for me; unfortunately since the huge tempest on November in West Brittany, it's quite chaotic here and even a perilous adventure
That was really enjoyable, thanks Martin! You must have felt a bit like a skilled driver taking the Institute of Motorists advanced driving exam, where you have to verbalise your thought processes in real time - tiring but very rewarding...
I really like taking out my 5D mk IV with just my nifty 50 sometimes. On Saturday I took my 2 whippets to a local hill fort where I can let them run. I took a combination of shots of them running plus some landscape shots. The 50 worked really well for the shots!
For the dark green moss scene, try in camera HDR set at +/- 3 stops bracketing shooting RAW, your result will be a JPEG. You need your camera on a tripod as one of the exposures could be quite long - in the seconds. And set your ISO to AUTO.
Class.

Hi Martin, such a casual and effective way to capture what you see amongst the chaos, loved the processing of the images.
Glad you enjoyed it

Its the mark of a good photographer
I enjoy these videos you do, very relaxed, do more!
thanks, I do plan to do more!

What a fantastic episode Martin - loved seeing you enjoy yourself so much!
it was fun, but hard filming and taking photos together, hard to concentrate properly on either but loved being there.
@@MartinCastein hmmmmm, you need to delegate!
Loved this episode Martin! Enjoyed hearing your thought process and the way you approach different images. A very relaxing watch

If you turn the polarizing filter by 90 degrees it can also strengthen reflections.. But that is needed less often, I gues.
Great shots! Would love to se more like this :)

I recently discovered your channel. You're really cool 💪 Greetings from Finland 🇫🇮

Very nice photos!
I think I was one of the first to see this video , amazing. Thanks 😎
Great video Martin. Don’t sounds like you would recommend the 50mm 1.2S
its excellent, really good, just was the wrong choice for this shoot, should have taken a 24-70.

Your picture of the little bronze leaf tree is a beauty !
Love both the video and the location. :)

Your shots were a bit dark to be honest, what a pity. Though I should save up for a Z9 📷👍
was going for the nordic noir look.
@@MartinCastein 😲
maybe you should washed your eyes first
err, you seem to have a stalker Martin?
🤣
@@MartinCastein - nice relaxed video, teaching not preaching, thank you
