    Wow, you can't beat a good storm. makes such magnificent photos. In regard to composition, due my sight defect I only see the world in 2D not 3D. I have puzzeled long and hard if that makes a difference to composition. I see what you print not what you will see on location.
    I recently watched your interview with Rick on the making of the film from Scotland. Made me realise that I have followed you from your very you Tube video. Where has time gone. Thank you for another inspirational video.

When his new video pops up, I go there straight away. I know it will be a great presentation, a subject I can always relate to, and high quality content. Way to go Nigel! Keep it up. I suspect your fan base is way bigger than you think . . .

  • @sallyarcher-thomson9589
    @sallyarcher-thomson9589 Год назад

    Thanks Nigel, nice video, beautiful waves. One thing I find useful when shooting in those conditions is an offshore wind helps keep spray off the front element/filter. If you face the wind you need to constantly clean the lens. I’m often amazed how much spray ends up on my glasses when I wasn’t even aware it was happening. If I may ask what software did you use to produce your new ebook? John A-T
