Thank you for watching! Any advice/feedback on my mic audio around the waterfalls/flowing water would be great! I struggle to capture clearer audio as the water is so loud. (I use currently use a Rode Lav Mic) Sound is the aspect of filming I struggle with the most and I'm always looking to improve my skills so my future videos will be even more enjoyable.
I didn't notice any issues so I went back to that clip and it seems fine. Ambient nature sounds are always great to include but I may see your sound balance concerns in it.
I'm no expert on video but maybe repositioning you Lav Mic to counter balance your voice to the water will give you better results and/or maybe using a Dead Cat on it if you don't already... Otherwise that clip is fine, like I said I didn't notice any issues on first view.
No issues noted from me. I use the same and record the audio on a Zoom voice recorder. The one Bly comment n issue that I get is if my arms rub over my coat or if I lie down and forget to move it.
What does the BBC use? In the studio (current affairs, news) the ABC mostly uses a lav microphone. Outdoors for similar programs it often uses a microphone on a stalk (head-worn microphone).
Wireless to the camera should ensure you always have sound on when recording, or you can record to something in your pocket. Zoom H1n or similar. Or your phone. A Bluetooth headset to phone might be sufficient, you can just let it run. That way, you could speak notes for later, not part of the video. A handclap might signify the start of such notes.
Think it's better to avoid using an omnidirectional mic in these situations, it's better to have a directional mic (with a cardioid pattern) in these, to be capable to taylor better separation between the "planes" of different sounds. Best regards from Barcelona and congrats on your great work!
I'm not into landscape photography that much, but watching your videos makes me want to go out there to shoot it. By the way, that dancing shot was very unexpected, I love it 😅
Alright, not just a pretty face. Your pictures are very well done, beautiful work and attention to detail. I also liked how you process them, the colours are balanced and pleasing. Good job!
Congratulations!! Your videos are so crazy and funny!! Thanks!
Loved this video, the falls shots were awesome, love your quirkyness, nice breath of fresh air to landscape photography. ❤
Thank you very much, I appreciate it a lot! :)
Having a Courtney Victoria marathon tonight. You're a wonderful story teller and we love the photos, of course. Thanks for sharing.
I love the quirky energy of your videos. Also being in the Chicago suburbs I’m jealous of having all those locations nearby. We have them, but you have to really look.
Lovely shots to enjoy, thanks.
Inspirational videos ❤️
Follow the Garlic Filled Path was the best, IMO. Just discovered your vids recently, and it's good stuff. Thanks.
Love the video and beautiful shots 🔥🔥🇬🇧
Nice shot in waterfall !
Spectacular image of the water falls Courtney
Thank you Stephen, glad you like it!
Got to get a d750 ❤️❤️❤️ same as you love the forest woodland.xx
I’m just here to pick up some dance moves.
Well, one thing you wouldn't have to worry about in that garlicky undergrowth and that's vampires!!! :P :P Mind you, the fairies and elves would have atrocious garlic-breath!!!! Great pics as usual :) That bridge scene will look great with the right light and conditions, but you'll have to carefully pick your time and day. Might have to try it a few times before you nail it. Oh, and you're a far better dancer than I am. I have two left feet and things don't bend for me like they used to. I can't get down as low as you can to take pics. Not unless I fall over, which is easy enough. But, then I'd need help getting back up!! :) :P
Love your videos, I like the way you are 😎
Just discovered your channel and appreciate your composition insights. You're the second UK landscape photographer I've subscribed to, but Henry Turner does not have a dance interlude in his vids!
Well done. Beautiful water falls and flowers. Awesome dance moves! 👍
Thank you very much Andrew, I appreciate it!
Beautiful Work ❤
Pretty nice. Quality content.
The picture of the waterfall turned out very nice. You really were in an awkward position. I don't know if I could have gotten down to get that shot then get back up again. 😂
I like all the images really, the wild garlic is something I won't get to photograph here where I live in the Pacific Northwest of the USA. We don't have that plant.
I enjoy how much you enjoy nature. Your dancing and other things you do on camera really show your joy well. Nice video.
I'm quite impressed that I managed to get down for that shot and back onto dry land without any incidents haha! Thank you Jeff, I'm glad you enjoyed the video. I have a lot of fun exploring and creating them!
A path through a swathe of wild garlic is such a wonderful thing isn’t it. I agreed with your various composition conundrums whilst making the images and I too couldn’t call it? I appreciated the quirk that you brought to your video...It makes it different and that’s not easy to do.
It really is. I haven't found any locations with an abundance of wild garlic locally this year, so I was very pleased to stumble across this pathway. The compositions are definitely something to mull over and work on improving over time. Thank you for watching Simon, I appreciate it and hope you had a great weekend.
@@CourtneyVictoria thank you.
Great video Courtney and beautiful shots!!
Love the fact you know the wellies at waterfalls trick. Took me a while to figure out that hopping on top of rocks is a lot trickier than just wearing wellies. 😂
Thanks again for sharing your experience Courtney... love the location and images...so green & fresh looking...I like the bridge scene as it shows depth in the photo... great moves with your dancing routine...always enjoy your videos & commentary.. cheers from Australia 😀❤️❤️
Great video Courtney! Loved the composition at 2:16, I would never been able to get into that tight of a space and down low like that. Nice work getting that image! And a beautiful wild garlic shot at 4:20. i've never seen wild garlic before, that would be a cool experience. I bet the smell is unbelievable. Great video as always, really enjoyed it.
Very nice video!
Thanks for the inspiration Courtney, some cool stuff you are posting :)
Great video and resolution of the struggles with composition. And of course the 'exercise routine' - a must for staying in shape to carry the camera bag.
first timer and i had to look twice for teh dance moves too funny cheers for the smile ! great shots too
Nice shooting I love photographing waterfalls
Brilliant video Courtney, entertaining and informative. Lovely images, my vote is for tree in. Sound on video was fine for me.
Another enjoyable and entertaining video Courtney always make me smile great video and some great photos to well done.
Found your channel yesterday and enjoying catching up. Delighted that you've identified the locations in this video. As a fellow FoD inhabitant, you've given me a number of new locations to explore - but maybe when the weather's a little better than now!
Looking forward to more of the bridge. that is a location that deserves several seasons of effort. Your dance moves .... yer killin' me!
I love the video especially the dancing part it looks like you are really having fun. Totally subscribing on you more videos to come 👌
Loved the garlic photos. It brings memories of my Cotswold hike. I kept smelling garlic. Not being from England had no idea that it was the wild garlic. Great memories!
Nice moves! 😊
amazing .... I love the horizontal shot "surprise path"!!! and ballets add a touch of fantasy, lightness and humor to your videos that no other vlogger has
Beautiful water shots, and your dancing is great also.
Oh wonderful. Never stop being yourself. Great images. I did notice though that you had VR set to 'On'. Beautiful location too.
First thing I spotted too. Always turn mine off when using a tripod! :D
Good spot! I usually turn it off when on the tripod, but on occasion (like this entire video ha) I do manage to forget about it completely haha! A great example of slowing down to check your settings properly.
Hello Courtney, I love your videos. They are informative, professional and a kind of funny (smile). You have the ability to take “simple” motives like these small waterfalls and make them to wonderful and almost always perfect composed photos. And it seems that it comes very easy to you. Please keep shooting and stay the way you are!
You are very good at taking pictures. You are very beautiful and strong. I will follow you. From Thailand
Great video thanks for sharing keep up the good work I really injoyed it nice photos as well 🇬🇧📸📸👌👍
Second video I watched you rock !! Love your production everything you seem to be an amazing person!!!☺️
The shots of the wild garlic were stunning! Nice job on those. I need to get up to the mountains soon. We don't have many flowers and lush green foliage down here in the desert. Loved the video and images as always. I really enjoy how you edit and tell a narrative with your videos.
Great video (and dance moves! 🙂) Would love to see you get that bridge shot at the end with the right light! I'm lucky enough to live in the Pennines so I'm surrounded by great woodland and landscapes, your videos inspire me to get out with my camera.
Great location loved the garlic path shots especially the one with the tree lovely stuff Courtney
Thank you David, glad you like the garlic path shots! Took a little patience waiting for the sun to go in slightly so the scene wasn't extremely heavily contrasted, but I like how they came out in the end.
No complaints on the sound near the waterfalls, as I could hear you just fine Courtney. You're exercise regime while out on a shoot looks like a lot of fun, as I have daughters your age, but would most certainly join in with you, albeit with the right music...which is another love of mine. Dance = nothing but fun!
1st image is very nice. 2nd image is very busy as you said, but also a nice image. Dancing is so bad but I shouldnt comment I cant dance either haha. I subed so keep this vids coming please.
Well you got a new subscriber. Great story telling, beautiful photos and you also have 달의 눈. 😉
The garlic path was beautiful. I think the second shot of that was my favorite. And I always enjoy your dancing Courtney adds another dimension of fun to your vlogs. Keep up the good work.
I've been struggling to find areas with abundant wild garlic locally recently, so when I stumbled across that pathway I felt as though I'd struck gold ha! I'm glad you like that image. Thank you for watching Robert, greatly appreciated.
A productive walk with good talking points and some nice moves. 👯👍🥂
I was shattered by the end, but it was an enjoyable day! Thanks for watching.
What a lovely find your channel was! Great flow and storytelling, beautiful photos. 😁 enjoyed this one Courtney ☺️ that was indeed an awkward position 🤣 my legs and tight hips would have definitely cramped haha
Very nice
I love woodland photography. Some nice shoots there. Thanks for sharing and for making me laugh... 😂 😂 😂
Glad you had a laugh ha!
Great images 1st time to your channel
LOL I laughed within 10 seconds!! SUBBED! :)
Very fruitful adventure. The wild garlic photos are great. I don't mind the big tree on the right, it shows there's variety in that location. You have very strong knees and hips still, impressive squat under that low trunk at the beginning of the video.
The vertical image of the wild garlic I believe works well !
Love the dancing, not something you normally seen in a RUclipsrs landscape photography video ! Lol
Lovely wild Garlic images, there is very little near me.
LOL! Great shots, cool dancing :-)
Thank you! :)
First time on your channel and I love your approach and your photos, so you have another subscriber. I wish I could move as freely as you do mind!
Nice photos :)
Hello Courtney! Just happened across your channel last night. I find you VERY funny & entertaining! All your content is takes on a unique approach and is definitely going to inspire new creative channels. I subscribed and looking forward to following your channel. Have a great day for San Diego, California! Eric
Wow very beautiful flowers
They were amazing!
Well, the Saturday Night Fever dancing dream scene was good at least! Haha, came away with a couple decent photos. Like others said, the path through th flowers was nice.
#intriguingtrees :D
Watching from Canada. Found your channel the other day. I enjoy hearing your thought process and you habe some magical locations. The only thing for me is that your steering wheel is on the wrong side of the car but I think I can get past that.
I'm just in awe on how green it is where you are compared to where I live, It lends itself to gorgeous photographs.
You nailed the waterfall shot under those tight conditions, and the footpath ones, the vertical shots being my favorites for the issue you brought up of distractions off to the sides of the scene. I think my favorite is the bridge shot with the natural lines and foreground, mid ground and distant elements and just enough in the scene to make it a story and simple at the same time, including the sheep :)
Great video... and keep clicking and dancing.
When I lived abroad I really missed The Uk's green scenery. I think it's why I appreciate it so much now, especially as Spring is here so the colours are exploding across the landscape. Thank you so much for your feedback! The bridge shot is one I can't wait to work on again.
@@CourtneyVictoria Yes, you are lucky with all that lush color, I'm jealous...and I look forward to you re-working the bridge scene again.
Just happened upon your channel. Your videos are a lot of fun. Just subscribed. :)
♥️♥️♥️
come for the photos and idea, stay for the "dance like no ones watching"
The 4:15 picture, would be maybe good cropped stright throught tree (right side tree). By the way good video, nice pictures. ☺️👍
🌺💖🌺 Your dancing... ummm... interesting?
This was a very good Video, consider me a New Subscriber to your Channel, your Pictures are absolutely amazing, thanks for sharing, and also making Photography fun to Learn and Watch :)
Cool video :-) I'm trying to find inspiration to do woodland photography but I really struggle. Guess I'm just a beach kinda guy! I'd love to do waterfalls too, but there just aren't any in my part of the world...it's soooo flat!
Courtney, absolutely enjoy your Photo trips and creative photography with the Nikon D750. I just have to ask though, have you ever given thought to maybe shooting your forest with say a Mamiya RB67 or 35mm FILM???? I also shoot with the D750, but recently bought a RB and Nikon F5 & F6. Such a relearning curve with film again, but FUN. Thanks for your super fun Photo trips!!
Hi, great video. Can you advise which lens you used for captures?
Ha..Ha.. good idea
Some cracking locations for sure and excellent images for reference of further trips.... Beautiful.. with the tree for me on the Garlic woodland. What was the location of the rave you went to around 6:08? 🤣 I have seen some lovely misty morning shots from Bigsweir... look forward to seeing what you get. atb Al
That was Whitestone Woods, while on my way to Cleddon Shoots ha. I saw some open space and took the opportunity. On my way back to the car I did notice it looks like a great spot for Bluebells. I hope to explore it a bit more sometime. Thanks and take care!
wow! beautiful shots! quick edit: btw whats with that dance? XD
Thank you! Haha, there's nothing quite like dancing in the woods! It's fun ha!
@@CourtneyVictoria Its your life, so enjoy! thanks for videos.
How many shots of setting the camera? Yes
Good morning I am a novice.i have a cannon dlsr cannonoes1300d several lenses.and two tripods filters.i have been watching your videos on photography I love them woodland photography fantastic lakes, outstanding I do need a couple of tips from you.any advice to contact your website would be greatly received thank you.
why iso 400 on waterfall , just curious. Base iso would give more dynamic range and with the tripod you can get the slower shutter speed and not worry. Grant too long on a stream might have some shake. sad you drop your lens, can you still put a lens hood on.
I know that smell all too well with those white wild garlic flowers that I find down near the river Derwent. Did you get the stone chip fixed?
Polarizer filter over the bridge would have made a difference
Why don’t you use your timer or a remote? Also what Arca Swiss plate is on the tripod please.
Can you please teach me how to dance? But first, teach me how to talk with a British accent. Then teach me how to use an L-bracket on my Canon EOS R that has a Ulanzi Claw Quick Release plate on with a Ulanzi Zero Y Lightweight Travel Tripod. I hope I'm not asking too much. 💜 You asked for feedback on your audio as you were talking and setting up around the falls. Yes, the waterfall is loud, but I clearly understood what you said, even with my 66-year old ears. You mic gain could've been a tad (or wee, as y'all say) bit higher, but that might've increased the waterfall sounds too.
Courtney what lenses do you normally use ?
Went to Clanna Woods the other week but had trouble trying to get a shot like you did to much undergrowth to get through? When did you go.
During Spring time. It was quite overgrown with a lot of fallen trees then. I haven't been back since (I didn't enjoy the narrow roads in that area ha) but I can imagine it's just as messy and restricted access wise.
@@CourtneyVictoria I drove in from other side of woods and walked through to tge lake took a while to find the waterfall then realised should of took that road that leads to main entrance 😳 🤦🏼♂️
were you by any chance an acrobat / gymnast in the past?
Have you ever video yourself dancing 💃 in the forest and suddenly realizing that someone who happened pass by was watching you
I haven't noticed yet! I think I will be a little embarrassed the day someone does see me haha.
promosm 😇
You really should lose that center column. Putting the camera on a raised center column when using a tripod kind of defeats the whole purpose... Lose that column and get yourself a good geared head, or at least a panoramic head...
