Good video! I am 71 years young and each winter becomes more difficult for me. I am living now in the State of Wyoming and the winds are so strong. Very normal to have a near zero F wind chill on the open prairies. Driving to the foothills and the mountains when the roads are open is a challenge as well. When I lived in the state of Mississippi winters were more damp but it was so much easier to get out and about with the camera. Just getting dressed for the winter weather is always fun! I still try. I tend to do more black and white in the winter as the contrast is so nice.
I feel the pain! Where I am it's pretty common for the temperature to stay below -10° C for a week at a time in winter and going outside is just miserable. But tougher photographers than me are rewarded with beautiful snowy vistas.
I feel your struggle, Scott! You're not alone! Winter varies so much depending on where you live but hopefully you'll be able to get some good shots before the Spring! 👌🏻 Thanks for watching buddy!
Always get this feeling in winter after moving around so much in autumn.. definitely some great tips there to help with winter photography though. Thanks Chris 👍
I'll have to find out more about split toning, and actually get further than the local park, walking the dogs, to some of the places with more interesting content... Great video again, Chris. Good to have things to think over.
Thanks for watching! I think split toning is a great tool, you can use it subtly or dramatically but more than anything, it's just good to experiment and see what you like the look of. I don't use split toning in every single photo I edit but if i'm trying to add a bit of mood or drama it can be really powerful. Maybe I should do a video about this sometime.
Great video Chris, I like the split toning idea, a brilliant suggestion for lifting colour in winter photography. Came away from watching your video feeling very positive about going out and taking some images.
That's so great to here! Thanks for watching and i'm glad you got something out of this video! The thing I love most about split toning is you can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want. Some scenes just call out for it!
Thanks for watching mate! It’s tough here in the UK isn’t it! Weather has been shocking! All safe here though man, thanks for asking! Hope you guys are too! ☺️
It's about -8 c here in Boston, and yes, while I'm a cold boy from the north, it's a wee bit chilly, and where I like to photograph people more than any other subject, it's hard to find people as crazy as me out in the cold. :)
Oh man, that’s much colder than over here in Wales! We just struggle with rain and grey skies for most of the winter! I completely understand that heading out when it’s that cold is tough! I hope you’ve got some warm layers! 👌🏻☺️ thanks for watching Chris, happy new year buddy!
Actually I struggle to get out in summer here in Australia, hot high 30’s and baking harsh sunlight makes me want to retreat indoors. Winter does give us better skies, reflections, great b&w opportunities, simplicity and one can rug up.
i live in the pacific northwest near the olympic mts. and yes winter provides it's challenges. dull dark days really limit my opportunities but when we do get some good light we are all very over joyed and it can make for some beautiful photography. thanks for the tips we'll see how they work out........peace
Loved this buddy! Got a very similar one on the way but grey lifeless days, which I guess is the same thing really 😂 also man I must be one of few who doesn’t touch split toning but this made me want to mess with it some more! Top work mate!
Ah ace! Looking forward to checking out yours mate! Thanks for watching this one! I’ve always struggled with winter but it’s definitely clicked this year. I think split toning has been a game changer for me - especially at this time of year! It can be really powerful but just takes a lot of experimentation ☺️👌🏻 your shots are great without it man, but it’s always fun to experiment! Hope you’re keeping well bud!
@@chrisharveyphotography Likewise mate I had a really good day out in the snow the other day but that's way easier than the drab grey days! Oh yes I'm the odd one out for sure haha, If I do grade it's normally via photoshop but mostly I'm a luminance and sat only guy 🤣will definitely have a play with it more in the coming week after this tho!
Hey Chris, just subscribed. I have been watching and enjoying your videos of late. Nice photography work just love the reflection in the puddle and your calm and natural videos. Cold and snow here in Calgary! Cheers.
Thanks so much for the support Stephen, I'm really glad to hear you've been enjoying the videos - means a lot! Winter for you guys is no doubt very different to winters here in the UK. I'd love to get over to Alberta one day, it's somewhere i'd love to photograph! 👌🏻
@@chrisharveyphotography Thanks so much for your response Chris. Yes the Rockies make for an amazing subject. I have 5 videos now nothing compared to your 81 but my two on Wedge Pond will give you a fall and winter look. How do you stay so calm, chill and inspiring on your videos? All the best for 2025.
Thanks Derren! Looking forward to seeing your photos mate! Have fun with the split toning, the beauty of it is you can be as subtle or as dramatic as you want and it all depends on the mood you're going for with the photos. I don't use it all the time but certain scenes call out for it!
Physical discomfort is my chief winter obstacle - always something to photograph, but can’t stay out very long. Will have to experiment with split toning. When you apply B&W do you preview the image in camera as B&W? Cheers!
I can certainly relate to this Paul! Split toning is a really powerful tool, it’s a lot about experimentation but I really enjoy the results! It depends, sometimes I do, but most of the time I just shoot in RAW and make the editing decision in post! Thanks for watching, have a great week!
Great ideas, echo you r thoughts on the black and white. My biggest fear at the moment is slipping on the ice, damaging my camera / hurting myself so I can't then go out ! Joys of living in West Yorkshire .😆
Thank you for saying that, I really appreciate it! I still feel like I have a lot to learn when it comes to storytelling in my videos but I’m trying to do it more! Maybe I’ll make a video about it this year! ☺️
@chrisharveyphotography yeah, make video about it definitely, but not too late in the year😅, just joking. Is nice to watch your videos, I have been always thinking its about beautiful photos, but is not, is actually how you put it together. Really pleasure to watch 👍😍🤩
Thanks for watching folks! Does anyone else struggle with photography during the winter? 📷❄️

@@DISTANTMEDIA Me too regarding split toning. Figures that you would again be on the same topic wavelength 😊 as Chris. Argh.😊

Excellent advice. I'm just editing a few snaps from yesterdays lunchtime walk. Will try a bit of split toning now.

You create nice videos, the story telling is great.
Any tips how or where to learn storytelling?
