    You’ve got to be one of the most inspiring photographers out there, likability ✅ inspirational ✅ enthusiastic ✅ you really do tick every box mate. Always something to learn from you, such an honest chap , what’s not to like. Love following your photography journey. Top notch and when this advent series is done, I hope you have a well earned rest. I’m sure I echo so many of your followers. You have knocked it out of the park 👌🏻

    I still watch Gavin Hardcastle, Nigel Danson and Thomas Heaton as I have done for years for different reasons and learned much but Henry gives me everything I need and can relate to in one click. Fast becoming the best photogaphy channel for me.
    The section on the dehaze tool on the sky is what I've done too and this makes me almost like i know what I'm doing.

    We've had no sign of winter here in Northern Michigan. usually we have snow up to our asses by now. But, we've had nothing but muddy, flat, completely unappealing conditions. Watching this series, seeing you work through less than ideal conditions while maintaining your high spirits, good humor, and not loosing inspiration has been a good thing to see, and has offered the shot in the arm that I've needed to get moving. Thanks.

    I woke up this morning having planned to go out, then saw the sky looked heavy with flat cloud and thought I couldn’t be bothered. Happened to watch this video with a coffee and then was inspired to go out after all.
    As it happened the clouds cleared as the sun rose and we got some lovely light that I would have missed without watching your video! So thank you!! #inspiration

    It's been a great series. I don't know how you can keep producing them daily, I can't even keep up with watching them daily! Hopefully, I'll catch up over the holiday. :-)
    My tip for dull days is switch to B&W, not only does it let you focus on tone and texture but you can push things like dehaze and clarity and texture much further with B&W than you can in colour!

  • @angelaspencer25
    @angelaspencer25 11 месяцев назад +5

    Keep going Henry! Nice video again. One of your strengths in my view is not going with the received wisdom that ‘if it’s not the golden hour or the light’s not right there isn’t a photo worth taking. Keeps me watching!

    @scotty4418 11 месяцев назад +5

    Capturing and processing drama in the sky is definitely one of your signature elements Henry as you have this knack of getting the best out of your images even on the dullest of days. Hard to believe there are only 3 days to go as the time has flown in from this end (not sure how you feel about it your end 🙂)

    • @davidfrost3770
      @davidfrost3770 11 месяцев назад +1

      Fully agree. I think his skies are like his signature on an image.
      I have got one of his "Three Sisters" prints framed and up on my wall and the clouds and atmospheric skies above the mountains are stunning.

    Subscribed since the little red Micra - dont get to watch all your videos but when I do, it is always a pleasure so experience (watch simply does not cover it) the energy and passion you put into this.
    Dull days are indeed a great excuse to not go out and get some pictures, here is hoping this video and 2024 will change that :-)

    You have some stamina Henry, good on you 👍 I love seascapes but it’s often difficult to get a balanced image, you usually have land on one side and sea on another. Of all the so called rules in photography, the one I like to try and abide by is balance, quite often the only way I can find around avoiding dead space is to include drama in the sky, nice light or wildlife (birds) in that area. That is never easy on dull, overcast days. Getting composition right in seascapes compared to landscapes is always challenging I find 🤔

  • @ianecclestone-joyce4126

    Henry, I have been really enjoying your Advent series. Thank you for thinking of it. I have been out of action for several months and this series if keeping my mind flowing with ideas to try when I am able to get back out there. Your videos are refreshingly honest and obviously from the heart. That makes them even better. Merry Christmas to you and your family, and a Happy and Healthy New Year too.

  • @davidfrost3770
    @davidfrost3770 11 месяцев назад +1

    What a skill you have in being able to get an image from what could seem just an ordinary day. Must be either years of practice or natural talent or both. Always a pleasure to watch you at work and great to see how you get what i call the Henry Turner skies, thanks for sharing those tips and hope you found a pub with a good pint.

    Just found your channel... Not fired off a shot since lockdown started and looking for my mojo again.
    Great tip on the dehaze slider man.. I discovered that when I was doing local gig photography (around Newcastle) and it was a game changer in my work flow. It found it's way in to everything after that haha... I love drama though and I love a well cooked landscape image. My photography isn't a real life representation... I process (landscapes) more around my own mood if that makes sense

    As always Henry another great episode full of energy and enthusiasm .. good helpful tips for those needing help to find their inspiration and get them all motivated . Not many good pro photographers are truly willing to share their workflow and editing techniques much . I always say “ if you not willing to get up early and get out with your camera you not going to achieve anything “ . Brave the conditions and embrace them for you may just be pleasantly surprised and capture something amazing ! And if you don’t then it doesn’t matter as you gained some more experience , more importantly you were seeing nature for it’s beauty be it bad weather or not ! It’s that journey we often talk about that’s more important ! Thanks again Henry for everything , stay well ! Cheers

  • @MarkSmithPdx
    @MarkSmithPdx 11 месяцев назад

    Henry,
    It been a pleasure watching your Advent series. Thanks again for producing. A couple of things...
    1) Didn't get a great look, but to me the thing in the distance looked like a radio telescope.
    2) In Lightroom, I've found after creating a Sky mask, pulling way down the blacks and then going to the mask's curve adjustment and creating a 'c' curve that pulls down the midtones works pretty well - I might need to slightly increase the exposure afterward or the sky looks too dark. I generally don't need to bother with d-haze then.
    3) Finally, if I really want to bring out the texture in the sky, I go over into photoshop and:
    a) create a sky mask
    b) Use the TK Plugin to create a curve adjustment against the mask
    c) Then again with that layer and using TK, set it up with a blend-if using midtones 1, 2, or 3
    d) Set the blend mode to multiply on that layer to really burn in those details.
    Number 3 does sound scary or complicated, but once you get the hang of it, it is actually just a few button clicks.
    Anyway, keep up the great work.

    I'm wondering if the Dish was part of the U.K. Radio Telescope system. The whole network is named Merlin. Imagine that. It certainly is large enough. Great video with the subject matter and the little editing tips there. The waterfall area did have an unearthly type of look to it. I probably watch too much Dr. Who. Although actual astronomy is another one of my hobbies, which made me wonder if it was a radio telescope. Absolutely massive on that hill. Fun video.

    Absolutely loving this series. In these conditions I think I would have been on my third pint by the time you got to the pub but you show how well you can find a shot out of what I would consider nothing. I particularly liked how you pulled detail out of the sky in Lightroom. Reducing the blue after dehaze made such a huge difference. The pic at 13 minutes was beautiful. Thank you so much for the inspiration you give me.

You surely made the most of the conditions, some really good images there and stong subjects ... regarding the dish down the coastline, if you were in the triangle of Helston, Falmouth and the Lizard it is likely you saw the Goonhilly Earth Station. Keep up the good work, only a few days to go now on the Advent series.

    Henry, great to see these vlogs and the content.
    For everyone, always check tide times, that can enable a good opportunity for super low (or high) tides, and also ensure that you aren't caught out by an incoming tide.
    Many have been caught out with tragic consequences.

    @danjohnson2349 11 месяцев назад

    Absolutely fantastic video as ever Henry, just one small point, you spoke about texture and shapes a lot but didn't seem to make much of the geology of the cliffs around the two waterfalls. For me, looking at the scene I was struck by the bedding plane of the rocks at about 45 degrees while the waterfalls fell vertically, this seemed to make a nice contrast between the hard, unyielding rock at one angle and the fluid fall of the water at another.
    I also couldn't quite work out where on the Corish coast you were, but if you get to Millook Haven, the cliffs there are folded into a stunning set of zigzags that you might like to take a look at.

    @MonsterCookieMuncher 11 месяцев назад

    Brilliant advice for a dull day and how to get the best of bland conditions, post production with the right tools is bonus particularly as most of the information is captured unless it's going straight to JPEG in camera (its still possible to lift the image as jpeg, but not to the same extent)
    You mentioned the Topaz software in a previous video, I downloaded it at the beginning of the year but haven't used it yet, just wondering if you have any thoughts about it.
    Hope storm Pia isn't affecting you.
