Yikes, me too! After having had my nearly new camera slip out of my hand while under a bridge, and sliding down the cement embankment for about 40 ft. and grinding the bottom of the camera and lens flat. It still worked fine, but was cosmetically ruined. Always use a strap now.
Shot for over 40 years as a hobby. Fairly basic mid-price kit. You do a very nice job of conveying information and ideas. I love watching different approaches and techniques. My #1 tip, from amateur, for better pics. Know your gear top to bottom, inside and out. Gear shines when you are familiar with it. A question... I have developed a weird habit over the years. When using the viewfinder, I completely de-focus/blur my vision so I see nothing but shapes in the frame. This somehow helps me get really good composition. Have you ever heard of this? Thanks for your work and your videos.
I really liked the bridge with the out of focus tree foliage in the foreground. Created that window that instantly drew my eyes to the bridge and the scene beyond. Great alternative to use of leading lines.
Ian, I can never understand why some photographers dislike ICM and yet are happy to accept the abstraction of moving water or clouds created by long exposure. Of the images you took in this video, I liked your ICM image the most - it was the most interesting and creative shot of the bunch.
Great video love that location we were there last month If only I knew there were otters there! Enjoying the Zine also which arrived recently great area to do landscape photography
Great video and a lovely reminder that photographers don't always need perfect light or epic vistas to create beautiful photos. Lovely pace to the video too!
It is a lot of fun to get out there and take pictures of wildlife and landscape. That’s what I do. I’ll love getting out nature camping and photographing it. It’s so beautiful out there. You did an awesome job. Thank you 😮
Just loving your vids! You’re the best landscape photographer on YT by a country mile! Your compositions are always so inspiring! Would love to hear your views on the Fuji 70-300mm lens. Looks worthwhile from a weight perspective but hopefully not a compromise optically. Anyway, greetings from Oz!
Beautiful images Ian. I must say that I was feeling some nervousness watching hold your camera over the water with no wrist strap though! LOL! Have a great day!
As you said if you are always looking for the grand vista you will lose out on so many opportunites for creative work. Shooting with wider apertures makes me think of Mark Littlejohns photography. Keep up the good work Ian.
Beautiful, thank you. Loved your explanations & your presentation. Loved the ideas and thank you for taking us on the adventure with you around such a breathtaking environment. Looking forward to seeing more. Subbed 😉
I sometimes struggle a bit with all the thick green and harsh light that comes with the summer months. Picked up a few tips and tricks from this one. Plus... Otters. Good stuff!
I find they are always getting in the way. ive got a peak design quick release strap but never use it. probably should though, especially when leaning over water lol
Ian, Please do. You gave me quite a fright when leaning over the bridge. Like you, neck straps bother me. Now that I use M4/3 cameras, a wrist strap works well. Because the clip system, the Peak Cuff works well as I can easily add the strap when needed.
You're not the first (and probably won't be the last) photographer to describe blue skies as 'rather boring' Personally I have to disagree. I love blue skies! I think they can provide a lovely contrast to whatever your photograph has in it.
"How Pros Photograph the Landscape Differently!" They are in it for the money; which means they must sell something that involves landscapes. Magazine photographers, for instance, need portrait (vertical) format with plenty of room at the top for the masthead (title of the magazine and other parts). Be mindful of the limitations of CMYK offset press. Keep important image elements away from the edges that are going to end up trimmed. The density range of the printed page is much less than either film or digital images.
You freaked me out at the bridge when you don't have a camera strap leaning over the water and opened your viewscreen with one hand!

Always a good suggestion when we are needing it most to keeps us creative, thanks again!!!!!

Glad you liked it Andrew 👍
That lilly is exceptional and worthy of any wall. 🎉
Thanks so much 🙏👍

I really enjoy ICM, it's great to be able to paint light and texture onto a scene, such a creative genre of photography 👍
ICM?

Yeah, i think it was worth it though, those lily pads were amazing. 👍
You nailed those ideas Ian 📷👍
Thanks so much 👍😊

Looks like bosherston lily ponds.
Great ideas to spark the imagination
Thanks Steve 👍

Thanks Kevin, yeah the otters were amazing to see 👍👍
Great tips, thank you!
Thanks so much 👍
I just bought a filters set for landscape from Kase. It may help my do better.
Great videos Ian, could you do a video about lightrooms new ai denoise
Another great insight into perspective 👍
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Nice video as ever very enjoyable thank you
Glad you enjoyed it 👍😊
Great photos! I particularly liked your minimalist shots. One question: why no camera strap?
I find they are always getting in the way. ive got a peak design quick release strap but never use it. probably should though, especially when leaning over water lol
Ian, Please do. You gave me quite a fright when leaning over the bridge. Like you, neck straps bother me. Now that I use M4/3 cameras, a wrist strap works well. Because the clip system, the Peak Cuff works well as I can easily add the strap when needed.
Did you see what looked like a Heron fly across the water into a gap in the trees on the right of the frame, it was at about 2.56 minutes
I didn't see it at the time, only when editing the video. Great spot 👍
Love this video. Amazing creativity!!
May I know how you managed to put the borders to the photograph, is it using Ligtroom or Photoshop?
Thank you, i use photoshop for the borders. 👍
@@ian_worth thank you!!
I am really jealous now Ian my wife and I have been here several times and never seen the otters.
I spotted them looking north from the eight arch bridge. I think this was my 6th visit. So it was great to finally see them. 👍
Welp, I wish I lived there.
haven't watched the whole video yet .... 2.57 bird landing shot would've been insane
Thanks buddy, i wasn't quick enough to react lol
You're not the first (and probably won't be the last) photographer to describe blue skies as 'rather boring' Personally I have to disagree. I love blue skies! I think they can provide a lovely contrast to whatever your photograph has in it.
I agree with you, totally. It's just we had 3 weeks of nothing else apart from blue skies so i was craving something a little different. 👍
