Great stuff! Really educational. I work 10 weeks each year in Lofoten - Leknes and i'm trying to learn landscape photography with Lofoten as my subject and this is really helpful!
Every now & then I come to hear you explain your photos. You sir, are blessed with the eye for sublime. Your work also has an element of melancholia, which really adds meaning to those vast unexplored parts of the earth.
The composition discussion is great and really helps shed some light (no pun intended) on your thinking as you make an image. Really enjoyed the video!
Yet again a super video ...thanx Andy. Looks like you had a great time up there in the cold north ;-) Love the shot from Vareid. Thats a beautiful shot and place. Not so easy accessible at all times tough. Stay safe.
Thanks Andy. Really enjoyed this video.Brought back nice memories.In fact it makes me want to return to Lofoten and do it all over again.Keep up the good work.
Nice locations. BTW: If you step some meters away and use a longer lens you get the same nice foreground but your background mountains will be much more impressive.
Great channel. The information you give about why you shoot a scene is wonderful. I looked at the transcript but couldn’t find the town names. If you could let me know the location names that would be great. Looking to vacation there in 2024.
Thanks for an amazing video. I wondered how far into the frame you focussed.; in particular the image of the waves with the mountain in the background Thanks for the lesson on composition 😁
I shoot with an APS-C sensor and so don't really have to worry about depth of field issues. At 10mm (like in the shot you mentioned) the image is in focus from 40cm infront of the camera to infinity, so you can focus anywhere really. I use focus peaking to make sure everything is in focus.
Thanks for sharing - does it concern you that by using such a wide angle focal length on the first shot (around 3-4 minutes in) you make the main subject feel so small?
No, not at all. Shooting it so that the peaks were significantly bigger would have meant zooming in to a point where the feel I wanted for the foreground wouldn't have worked
Beautiful images! Can I ask you what type of shutter do you use when working on a tripod, mechanical, electronic or EFCS? Or you just leave the camera to decide according to the shutter speed? Since I read that EFCS and electronic eliminate shutter shock at certain speeds, but you can lose some light(histogram is slightly shifted) with electronic modes at faster speeds. Many websites recommend fully electronic shutter for landscape use.
On my Fuji it's called Mechanical shutter, and that's what I use. I've never felt the need to use electronic shutter and never noticed and shake from it. The action is tiny and not really significant in terms of camera shake.
@@AndyMumford Thanks for the reply! Then a followup question (bothering me for quite a long time) is that I saw a lot of landscape photographers using slow shutter (>= 60s) NOT to aim for long exposure but still image like yours here at 11:40. really want to know why.
You seem to shot a lot at f7.1 with the 10-24mm, I would have thought it’s best for the wider scenes to use f11 with this lens, any reason for the f7.1?
The lens starts to diffract a little as you close down the aperture. It's still good at f11, but I've found f7.1 to be where I get best results, especially in the corners

Thanks so much. The towns we were shooting in around Lofoten were Hamnoy, Sakrisoy, Vareid, Fredvang and Ramberg
your photos are amazing! GOOD JOB!
Thanks so much Paride
Very good, I like the images at the 6 and 11:40 minutes marks! Stay safe!
Thanks Guy. How are you doing, hope you're well. Stay safe man
Precioso.👏👏👏🤘😘

I love your work. Would love to take one of your courses one day after this Pandemic is over.
Thanks so m much for the comment, glad you found it interesting. We'd love to have you along on a workshop next year

At 00:40, what place in Lofoten is that again? Beautiful scenery btw!!!
Thanks so much. The first location is a place called Vareid.
Music by EPIDEMIC music. Very apt!!
Thanks for sharing - does it concern you that by using such a wide angle focal length on the first shot (around 3-4 minutes in) you make the main subject feel so small?
No, not at all. Shooting it so that the peaks were significantly bigger would have meant zooming in to a point where the feel I wanted for the foreground wouldn't have worked
Great Video. Maybe try and put the Rode Wireless Go on the inside of you out layer, it might help with the wind.
Cheers 🙏

Great work
May i ask which filter type/brand polorizer and nd are you using for this amazing photography
Many thanks
Thanks so much. I use Polar Pro Quartzline circular filters
Oh thanks,
Btw, do you put the nd filter in top of the polorizer on the lense, or is it better to only use one filter?
Beautiful. What camera you used for blogging?
This is all done with an iPhone 11 and a DJI Osmo 3 mobile
Hi Andy, I am newbie to photography. At 11:40, this picture is using 240 seconds shutter. is it a typo?
No, it's a 4 minute exposure using a 10 stop and a 3 stop ND filter.
