    In a chaotic world of pain, grief and sorrow, your film gave me half an hour of peace, tranquillity and inspiration. Thank you, Nigel, for bringing this world of snow and beauty to me. I can't wait for next week's instalment.

    Hi Nigel. I know this area really well, having spent many weeks up there walking, climbing or on my bike. That first spot you stopped at was proper plantation until just a few years ago with dense forest right up to the side of the road you were walking up. If it had still been like that, you probably wouldn't have stayed long enough to have discovered the wee lochan. The current landowner cut down all the non-native tree species and only left the indigenous ones behind (the few that you were looking at) and he is now letting that whole area return to it's natural state, which will take many years. It would be great to see Caledonian Pine back there in my lifetime. Hats off to him!

    I’m on vacation from Michigan in the desert and my friends are laughing that I’m choosing to watch videos about snow. But this was such a fabulous video. And the shot at 16:36 was spectacular. I feel the peace and the joy of that scene.

    You are a great inspiration to me and my friend who go out shooting together, we end up saying to each other now when were in that moment, the quiet moment, when we both say "it doesn't get any better than this". I do enjoy your teachings on composition but this series has been a great one for showing about getting out there and taking those shots, not being afraid to press the button. Love this series!

  • @arcticshots2321
    @arcticshots2321 10 месяцев назад

    I do appreciate everyone who puts in a lot of effort in making videos even though ofc it is to benefit from it :D
    I also like the fact that as you mention in your previous video that taking the camera of the tripod is giving you more freedom. I am a photographer and lately more of a landscape (and bird) photographer, and i just don't understand this obsession with using tripod ALL the time. I sometime use tripod but mainly for long exposure and night photography, I even shoot with the R5 and 28-70 handheld at 1/8sec which is usually my preferred long exposure for waterfall.
    I do admit that sometimes it is a must if you need to focus stack and maybe exposure bracket, but that with the latest cameras I find less and less important, the dynamic range is that good.
    What I noticed in this video is that I find the shutter speed and ISO setting very weird, ISO 64 to shoot still photography at 1/8sec and 1/4000 at ISO 640, I am sorry but those settings do not make any sense to me :D Maybe you want elaborate?

  • @mattbibbings
    @mattbibbings 11 месяцев назад

    I had exactly that problem yesterday. The mist and fog rolled in and I headed out to a location knew well. On arrival it was obvious that my location was almost out of the mist and fog. I gambled and went for it, with limited time I pushed on hoping to find the mist further into the wood. On the drive home I could see that I should have been on the other side of the wood for the 'best' conditions. However, when I reviewed the images i had 6 - 8 surprisingly good images that i wouldn't have had if I had bailed. Love this video. Can't wait for next week.

  • @alangauld6079
    @alangauld6079 11 месяцев назад

    The reason the mountains in Torridon look bigger, although lower, is that you start at sea level, whereas in the Cairngorms you are already well over 1000 feet up. Also, the Cairngorm hills are much bulkier so the summit is often 5-10 miles away, whereas with the steep hills in Torridon you are only a mile or two away. If you want dramatic mountain views in the Cairngorms you need to work for them, and that means 10 mile or more round trips up the long glens that penetrate the interior. It's nice to see the Cairngorms getting some love this year though, Henry Turner was up there a little while ago too. I often feel they get neglected by photographers.

  • @smartiefox256
    @smartiefox256 11 месяцев назад

    Good morning :)
    Love that video - Having the right mindset is as important if not more important that the actual photography skills.
    It helps so much to see your "thinking process" in these kinds of videos. You are human as well. You experiment. You rarely but sometimes struggle on the perfect composition.
    I'm really looking up to your photography so it helps so much to see you explore.
    For a studio idea I'd love to see "how to organize after a photoshoot" - like cleaning gear, backing up images, organizing the bad again. 🙂

    Bit of info for when you’re next up there. The image you held up at the end, if you continue through the woodland towards Loch Eanaich, you will come across a Scots pine plantation. Ten years ago I was there and they were collecting seeds and planting new growth. These were sitting in amongst the already existing Scots Pine forest. Better if you have a bike though as it’s a bit of a walk from the car park you used. Fantastic area.

    Hi Nigel, really beautiful pictures. Sadly the snow in my area disappeared a few weeks ago. I especially like the shot at 5:57. One question, why didn’t you take a vertical shot with the gras in the foreground and the tree in the front as main subject? I think that this really would have worked well.

    About your question about studio video. How to adjst green in woodland photography? I am editing photos presently and one thing that I struggle a lot, it is to adjust the green in woodland photography. I always feel that the color green is not as awesome as it was in the field. Especially when there is mountains with trees in the background They always shows blueish and I never know how blueish they should appear on the final image...Or at sunrise/sunset as they appears magenta in that case. Very difficult for me to have a great result that will reflect the reality and the beauty of the scene properly. Thank you! Have a great day!
