    Fantastic to see you out and about again. Glad to hear that you're listening to your body and going at the pace your back allows.
    I was quite emotional for you (in a positive way) and shed some tears, here and there, whilst watching your video. Thank you for sharing. Lovely shots throughout.

  • @geoffstairmand3747

    Easy to feel your joy at being back out, it was palpable. Heather was on my list of Must Sees but Covid decided that was not to be and I've had to give up plans for a UK trip. SO ENJOY your vlogs, but take it easy please.

    Nigel, I know we have never met as I live across the "pond" and am just a follower on your RUclips channel and am one of your online Masterclass students. Like so many, I am glad to see you back and that you are trying to gradually ease back (no pun intended) into your photography even though I can imagine it may feel frustrating and perhaps discouraging at times not yet being back at the level you were prior to your surgery. You are an inspiration to all of us who follow you and who have been one of your Masterclass students. You are, in my opinion, one of the best landscape photographers out there and I can say my landscape photography has improved amd continue to improves by learning from you. Even if you find that you end up shifting to another style of photography like macro like you demonstrated recently from your camper van and back yard, I should think I would very much look forward to adding a potential Nigel Danson "Macros" book to my Vistas, Woodlands, and Seascapes collection. Keep taking it easy and I am grateful you have also allowed us to be a part of your recovery journey. Thank you.

    • @NigelDanson

    @seanaugust Год назад +2

    I like this format of you talking about how you're going to take the photo, then right away talking about what (didn't) work. Seeing them all at the end in Lightroom or as prints is cool too, so I'm not sure which way I like better. I guess whichever you feel works best for each video.

  • @LeeAllen337

    Happy for you Nigel. The awesome feeling you get when you finally get to do something you love after a long hiatus is the best feeling. Glad to have you back at it.

  • @gabewebyt
    @gabewebyt Год назад +4

    Great to see you back! For blue sky shots, what I like to do is apply a gradient to the sky to darken the top part of the sky (and typically reduce the temperature a bit so that the darkened part is a bit blue rather than just gray). I find that it both makes the sky more interesting, and the darker sky at the very top acts to frame the top of the composition and hold the viewer's eye in.

  • @kellyhaller1229
    @kellyhaller1229 Год назад +1

    So good to see you out in nature again. I know exactly how hou felt being out. A few years ago I severely broke my ankle and couldn't walk for a year. It was an amazing feeling when I could go back out and do my photography. Here's hoping you have a fast recovery and lots of fun getting outdoors.

    Happy to see you back on the path, Nigel. Amazing places and great video. I've learned a lot, from this video, how to compensate a "boring sky". After more of two very, very hot months and without clouds, now the weather is changing a little bit and I can can go outside to restart to take photos. Thank you very much.
