You’re a master of contemplative storytelling Alister. I always appreciate that about you. 😊
Thanks so very much, I really appreciate that
I try to bring my 'mountain' coffee kit so at some point I sit down grind some beans and heat some water and enjoy a nice fresh coffee in the outdoors. The camera and I rest and we just enjoy the moment. :)
Nice, that’s a way to really slow down ❤️
Thoughtful, as ever Alister. Thanks.
"Just ask a plant" great, I love it 🙂
Haha, yeah, I liked that 😂 thanks for your comment
I just love going out into nature and enjoying my time looking for shots. It's hard to find time to go out for hours but when I do I'm in heaven. It's so important to find time for yourself doing something you love.
Thanks for that, we’re lucky to have time to get out at all and it’s nice when we do to make the most of it. Thanks for the kind words
Alister, As always, great message here… Time, something we all strive for but feel we never have enough off…. If we think about the photo we are taking, it is but a singular moment in time never to be experienced again as every moment is of itself. Great thought to enjoy it while you are in it. As always, keep snapping…
So inspiring, I feel the same way you do.
Thanks
Patrice
Thank you for this wonderful articulation of something I've felt over the past year or so, as I've explored exposures of 60-120 seconds around Lake Michigan. It really is a rewarding gift of time, as the camera does its thing. I've also found it to bring an extra sense of calm and peacefulness.
Getting the long exposure image out if it isn't too bad either 🙂
Thank you for sharing your thoughts and lessons learned, it certainly has provoked me into revisiting the process of long exposure photography! I really love your videos, they are truly inspirational!
What a wonderful and inspiring video, Alister! Thanks a lot!
Awesome, thanks so much
Well said!!! I personally experienced this in my last photo shoot in a nature preserve. It was so rewarding, the temps were down and I even got to see lake effect show flurries roll through. To top that all off, I was using a new purchase, a 500mm f/4, my first big telephoto. That lens, I felt, made me see more to find an image. So cool of a feeling to be able to see at more of a distance than my other trips with the smaller lenses. Rock on!
Thanks Alister for a very therapeutic video. Most apt at the moment as I have had time away from photography because of my back. Last few days I have just been ambling around with my iPhone and tripod taking some long exposure images. It has proved to be very enjoyable and part of the simplicity of taking the images was part of that.
Thanks mate, sorry to hear you’re bad with your back. Mine may finally be showing signs of improvement ❤️ fingers crossed
Wonderful perspective on life and photography, sir. I have also found that revisiting locations that I am most familiar with, and really enjoy, slows down my process and gets me closer to the intimate details around me. I am no longer rushing down the trail to get to a destination, rather I am getting great pleasure strolling down the path looking for compositions and reveling in my moment in nature...also with an often ailing back. My, isn’t that back subject popping up from so many viewers. Thank you for your calming reflections on what’s important in life.
Nice to give this point of view. I must say that during the workshop after 8 days totally dedicated to photography I felt a certain saturation. I felt the need to do nothing more to let come the desire to photograph again. Listening to you, I thought: when are you going to listen to yourself and follow your own path? No longer wait for external validation. The balance between the profitability of the investment and my real need was not easy to find. I need time and space to create. Nice secret buddy.
Thank you so much man. Part of this message that I shared came from watching you looking and experiencing the landscape. Looking over and seeing what you were doing, at least half the time you were looking, thinking, or listening to the landscape and not making photos at all. You were the inspiration ❤️ miss you mate
Thank you for the video!
Love your work 👍is that a Kookaburra in the background? lol
😂😂😂 I hope not, it was recorded in Scotland ❤️🏴 thanks for the feedback
Thanks for this video.
I also do love taking time in nature, waiting for the light, waiting to observe the scene and perhaps ending with a couple of images … or none x)
Thanks for the kind feedback, I appreciate it
Great video!!
Taking time to enjoy the moments between shots👍🏻👍🏻
The post processing demo informative as always. I always learn something. Thanks for your way of vignetting!!
And yes, capture one’s spot and dust removal tool rocks!!
Hi mate, thanks so much for the great feedback, and I always appreciate that…
Thank you for your video and yes I've subscribed. I teach Photography at Community level which is beginner level to intermediate as I'm a fairly experienced landscape photographer and what you're doing is actually mindfulness which is really good. We need to slow down in a world of fast, shutters - run and gun instantly posting. All that kind of stuff actually really irks me to be honest no one is talking about slowing down. No one is talking about slowing down and just watching the sunset and maybe getting five or 10 photos instead of 25 or 30. And you actually become a better photographer when you focus on quality, not quantity. I really like this video because it just gets shit to think about what are we really doing? Are we there to just get an outcome of a photo or are we there to actually experiencing something special and that the photo we take is just a part of that. You mentioned therapy which interestingly enough that's what I do for a day. Job is help people recover from addiction and I often just talk to my clients about slowing down. In fact, at the moment I'm developing a program for young people to get into Photography as away as slowing down and connecting with nature and it's been really highly successful.
More to the point ... What Band you play Guitar in , What Amp/s , Cabs you play thro ??,
No band, but I play in my studio at home and make music on my own. I switched 100% to Neural DSP amp models a few years ago and no longer own a physical amp
Thank you very much for this video, Alister. It seems to me you’ve become a very lazy fotographer, just hanging around in mother nature and never caring about such overrated technical aspects as shutter speed et cetera… 😂 next step could be going out without that superfluous Fuji gfx. Seriously: beautiful shot of the coast and nice explanation of the impacts of your editing on the emotional effects of the picture.🙏
Thanks mate, I appreciate the great feedback. Haha, with my bad back I have been out for lots of short walks without the GFX 😂❤️
I use affinity 2 to process my pics . Other times i simply won't bother spending hours on end processing because i don't have the luxury of having the time to do so .
I find it very very slow sometimes it takes 40mins just to convert a Raw to JPEG . And as i mainly use the same settings when processing . I've no idea on how to Mass edit raw files that having to do it one by one .
Me: Great video, as usual, but is he expecting rain or a random spray of water? 🙂
I like rain 😂🏴
Always after watching one of your videos I feel like slashing my own wrists. Whilst I gain a great deal of knowledge/technique from your vlogs, for which I am eternally grateful, they are so downbeat/joyless/depressing it is getting harder and harder to watch them. Lighten them up a bit for crying out loud.
Hi Alister. I thought your message was very uplifting. Thank you for reminding me/us what we know but forget to due in the moment and that’s to chill out and enjoy! I was at the ocean this morning and the light was intoxicating but we don’t usually have large waves as you do in Scotland. I feel blessed to live by the coast.
Ha! Perhaps not being able to walk for weeks due to a herniated disc explains it! I’m a funny guy, but it’s hard to crack jokes talking into a camera in a box.
Thanks so much ❤️
Go outside to enjoy nature then take pictures. Not go to take pictures of nature.
