There can be no greater inspiration for going out in crap weather than amazing photos born from horrendous conditions. Those are some fantastic photos - thanks for the inspiration!
Nice to know you can just stay in the UK for the most amazing place to photograph 😁👍
Yep - UK is the best!
I did the West Highland Way in 2003 with my Dad. You've brought back some happy memories of walking through Rannoch Moor finishing off that day with the magnificence of Buachaille Etive Mor.
I just heard "Make sure you have some alcohol..." and expected him to pull out a hip flask, rather than wipes!
Shower caps!! 🤣What a great hack / idea. And another excellent video with gorgeous shots. This was a good wake-up call for me too...I think I've been so focused on nice weather outings (getting great sunrise / sunset light in the sky, etc.) that I didn't stop to think about the drama in bad weather. As a skier I can relate to it immediately too -- I've always loved snowy days on the hill because I know so many people won't brave the weather, so I can ski fresh snow with almost no crowds. Not sure why I never connected that to fantastic landscape images before!
Harris is my favourite place in the word. I’ve spent a lot of time there as a kid. It’s truly magical. I miss it up there
Been watching your videos for quite awhile and this was one of, if not the, best. The images were outstanding.
I absolutely love Glencoe, probably one of the most serene yet intimidating places i have ever been to. The mountain you were talking about is the Buachille Etive Mor, it stands like a massive guardian to the rest of Glencoe.
Good reminder to get out in all conditions, the Harris beach shot was simply stunning!
Nigel you are the only landscape photographer on RUclips I follow that consistently produces incredible images. Lots of RUclipsrs are just relying on gear videos or great video production of amazing locations only to come home with average images. I still enjoy their videos of course but as I love photography and don’t video/RUclips I always feel whilst those videos are fun they aren’t that inspiring to me. Your work has always been an inspiration so thanks so much for the great content - your video work is epic as well by the way but I respect you even more for not sacrificing your photography! I wish you focused more on you and your journey rather then the “10tips to improve XYZ approach” but that’s just me :) Keep up the amazing work and thanks again!
Thanks Tom, appreciate that
I agree with you for every word you said.
A labor of love is so appropriate for this video Nigel for your efforts in harsh conditions for your fan base! Really spectacular footage and images! Wonderful work! Thank you as it was highly entertaining and informative as well! ❤️🙏🙏
Simply fascinating to listen to you and see how important it is to get out of our comfort zone and dare to experiment ... Your wisdom and great tips are always useful. Thank you Nigel, love your captivating videos. Cheers!
Another great visit from you this Sunday morning. I can still remember those days of incredible excitement of being at the right moment and getting those "once" shots. So fun hearing the excitement you share with us all about it. I did not realize your camera was so weather proof. Have a great week and stay safe and healthy. Cheers from Florida.
Always a good good moment on my sunday 👌👍🏼👌
You convinced me that this is the right way approaching photography, esspecially for me, mum of 2 small kids, 9-5 job and house. Whatever time I have for photos, I cant be picky. In fact, my best photo I took was during rain, cycling at 5 am up the big hill while camping with kids didnt sound like a good idea, but im very pleased I did. Thank you Nigel and your photos from Skye are amazing!!!
Thanks and good on you for getting out!
A cracking opening sequence to the video Nigel and what a fine collection of images as well
Such a great reminder Nigel! A few years ago i was in Iceland and it rained 15 out of 17 days, and those were the best photos! Great tips for photographing in the rain as well. Thanks for another great video!
Great timing from my point of view. On Thursday evening I fought my way through a squall to get to the headland overlooking Godrevy and after finally getting the camera out of the bag I got one of my favourite shots of the whole year. The light over St Ives beneath ominous black clouds was totally epic. Getting out there and embracing those hellish conditions definitely brings the most dramatic images 😁
I thought I had all the kit, certainly various rain covers, but have never thought of shower caps - really good idea.
Thank you for sharing your experience and advice - you and Mads Peter are a real crowd pleaser!
Good job Nigel.
Getting out in bad weather is great for wildlife photography also. Can be completely miserable experience but if you get a shot it’s all worth it.
Thank you Nigel for sharing, I find your channel really helpful and inspiring. Your imagery is simply stunning, I’m driving through Glen Coe tomorrow off to Fort William and will certainly reference your shots when i stop, many times I’m sure. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and your images. Andy
I LOVE the images from the beach, amazing colors, no filters needed. Hopefully soon I can get a camera that I can use in those conditions, if I use mine right now I will get unique images because it will be the first and last time I use it 😁 great as always Nigel.
Fantastic shots and great storytelling. Thanks for this video.
I love all of your landscapes! Incredibly inspiring
I think we are all guilty of looking out of the window and convincing ourselves to stay in. Great film, thanks Nigel.
Nice video and with the cooler and colder weather coming, it's a good reminder to get out somewhere. I need to find that somewhere.
Sigma 24-70... just watched a Christopher Frost review on that! Great video, your enthusiasm is so infectious.
Another great vid Nigel. Beautiful shots which truly reflect the amazing nature of these islands. I can't wait to get back up there - probably next year now. PS I saw your short video at Sligachan old bridge on the BBC - nice one.
Great video as always Nigel. Some of my favourite shots from the Great Ocean Road have been taken during some atrocious conditions. It's alway good fun to be out with the camera braving the elements.
One thing I keep meaning to comment on is how you talk about Squarespace (with passion) AND actually use them for your site. I've been using Squarespace for 4 years now and love the power and flexibility their templates offer - it's so refreshing to see photographers with Squarespace sponsorship actually use them !
Can’t miss Sunday morning, ND, especially Scotland. Aptly timed video as autumn approaches. Thank you.
Thank you Nigel you’ve made me transition from wildlife to landscape, couldn’t ask for a better mentor
I am a beginner with landscape photography. I have been learning so much from your videos. Thank you for teaching and sharing!
Fabulous video Nigel, stunningly beautiful images and great tips 👍
That first image is so print worthy! Absolutely incredible.
Cheers, really enjoyable video. Lovely photos and looking forward to the Harris and Lewis one a lot
Wonderful beach shots. Not a lot of bad weather here or fog for that matter. However there are some amazing beaches. Looking forward to seeing more inspiring images.
Your images under such trying conditions are amazing and enthusiastically presented. You are such an easy and gentle instructor. Oh, and I love the double face on the cow at the end.
The Harris shot is amazing!
I love seeing Pebbles!
Love your photos! They are amazing!!!!
Excellent video this week Nigel, inspiring work.
Thanks for great tips. Beautiful photos 😊 Pebbles is so cute 🥰
You captured an amazing collection of very unique images, nice work!
Brilliant lots of good tips and some brilliant shots - that Harris Beach is like a painting
Glad you enjoyed it
Was in Harris and Lewis in March and it's just an amazing beautiful and photogenic place, world class in fact, I'm looking forward to seeing your pictures Nigel
Stunning shots!
Good work and amazing images. My home country never fails to impress
Superbes ambiances. En Ecosse, il y a toujours le lumière, même éphémère après une tempête. Lumières changeantes en font un endroit toujours photogéniques. Bravo
Such a great video and conversation! Getting out there in the “bad” conditions can get you the best photographs and you also get a memorable experience of Mother Nature and the adventure, which is really my favorite part. As you are talking about being out the rain while shooting, what is the best way to edit the occasional rain drop that was on your lense out of your image? Thanks again for sharing these experiences. I sure can’t wait to be able to travel from the states over to Northern Europe!
Great Video, Blunt umbrella is a must I have one strapped to my camera bag which is used far more as a wind break than rain shelter. Harris is stunning I have just been for a couple of days as well wanting that dramatic light however I was not blessed with them dark clouds. I have still come away with some stunning images.
Hi Nigel! Awesome video, as always. ;) We were athe the Old Man of Storr 2 years ago, and decided to hike up in the rain. The weather got so bad we couldn't even see the Old Man while standing at the base of it. Worth it anyway. :) But I have to get my self a weathersealed camera some day.
Yeh Harris is literally a mind blower.. and challenging playground for photographers
Great video as always Nigel.
Unbelievable photos Nigel. Even by your high standards these are exceptional!
Awesome experience mate. Epic shots!
Great video!! Great to be outside as long as there are no thunderstorms around. 😜
I am nervous about going out in the rain with my equipment, but I will give a try. Great suggestions for keeping my equipment dry.
Stunning! I will not sit in the car when it rains again in Scotland ☺️ love Pebbles 🐾
Yo, Squarespace. I watch the ads, and thanks Nigel, for sharing this source though it is sponsoring you.
We’re off to Skye next week so this video is just perfect timing.Thank you.
"Support every hard working photographers out there"
Thanks, Nigel. Yet another awesome video filled with inspiration and knowledge. Well time to check out your blog now, what else would you do at 12:30am. Dam, going to be tired at work tomorrow, again. 😴
Thanks for the video Nigel, interesting to see the challenges of getting some of those great shots. Thanks also for the live chat over on PhotoPills channel - and was that a Vistas exclusive at the end ;-)
Brings back some memories. The wettest I've ever been was at Sligachan, could have kept goldfish in my goretex pockets! It just helps to make the Talisker taste even better afterwards...
Great shots and great advice... many thanks.
Some really great shots there Nigel, I think I must of been over on Skye the same few days on my bus 🤣👍🏻 I've some great shots from being out in the bad weather, I think it gives the shot something else and a bit more life about it, I think a particular shot can look the same as the next persons if taken in those what we call perfect conditions but to take it in bad weather is where it stands out from the rest. 👍🏻
"Just lightly touching it is better than rubbing it hard. Or even blowing it ... " - Nigel Danson.
Great video Nigel! It was a great week - thanks for having me along!
Another tip for going out in bad conditions that I learnt was that it’s a lot easier when you share those conditions with someone else. I think we both mentioned that we we’d have been tempted not to brave going out in it had we been on our own... well, perhaps that was more me!
It was me too!
Excellent photography Nigel. Looking forward to hopefully a future video which expands on the unique photo at 10:57. Wow, £500 for a jacket and a £110 for an Umbrella though, that costs more than my camera equipment.
6.56 GREAT!!❤️❤️
4mins in the vid and I 100% agree that I wished I was out in the rain finding a great spot and patiently waiting for the sun to peek. I have so many days I regret not going out.
and LOVELY !!🐕❤️❤️
The tips are important for shooting in subzero temperatures too. When I go out in the winter, I don't even touch my camera gear for several hours after I get home.
Really enjoyed this vid Nigel. So inspirational. Thank you for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it
I wouldn't want to cross the bridge in that storm! Amazing shots!
Brilliant!
"Nikons are tough." Absolutely. I actually managed to dunk mine (a hoary but reliable ol' brick of a D90) completely in seawater (along with most of myself). It was only under for a second or two and I yanked it back up before trying to yank myself back up. Don't try this at home (assuming you have seawater in your home). But amazingly, after drying it off as best I could in the field, and giving it a good freshwater wipedown once I got home, it still functions as if it never took that unexpected dip in the Mediterranean. I still have the scars from how I landed on the rocks in the water, but my D90 still looks new. And a little cleaner than it was.
Beautiful images Nigel ❤️😍
I find it hard to get out in good weather .... let alone bad lol ,
Great tips and good motivation , I always have in mind to get out to a pier or a lighthouse during a storm ( staying well safe of course ) and capture the crazy waves crashing , might do it next time there is a storm coming .... again making sure i dont become a person needing rescue
Hi Nigel, thanks for the vlog. I was planning a trip to Torridon over that wet weekend but the forecast put me off, I remember seeing your video of the bridge on the BBC News website. Fortunately I had the following week off work and went to Torridon on the following Wednesday. Arrived at Loch Clair at 6:30am (30 minutes before sunrise) and had a tremendous day, really enjoyed it. The early start allows so much to be fitted into a day.
Sounds great!
Brilliant mate..
the intro is so amazing and shows how high your level is about filming
Thanks 👍🏼
You released this video at the perfect time for me. Im going to the lake district next week and the weather forecast is looking "interesting". Going to dig out my water proofs and force myself to climb up a fell even if its not looking so nice. Thanks for uploading and reminding me to get the hell outside!!!
Have fun!
wow absolutely stunning.....
I don't think that Instagram does your Harris Beach shot justice. I saw it and flicked past it, HOWEVER looking at it on you blog I can appreciate the detail and the depth of field. It places me in the frame, and I can feel the sand and the water at my feet. A terrific work.
Thanks - yeah, instagram doesn't work for some images like this one. It looks unreal printed!
I'm off to Skye for a couple of weeks beginning of November so I was taking in all the info about rainy conditions, I have been too Scotland every year for the past few years and also to Skye my favourite Island, this was a lovely video delivered in your normal articulate way, beautifully put together and those images were just outstanding utterly superb, cannot wait for the next instalment. regards, Colin.
Awesome - make sure you visit Elgol!
The best camera shots was when I forgot to take my camera with me. One was on the road to Oban early morning an golden eagle landed on a post on the bend of the road we seen it come down swoop onto a post beside the road and stayed there for 10min, stopped the car 10 metres from it, was magic. Now I keep a cheap camera in the car at all times but the opertunites never seem to arrive when the camera is with me
Super image, great video and advice.
Great work !
I'm instantly jealous of those weather conditions!
Pebbles comes into the picture. I push like 😂👍🏻
Thanks says Pebs
Pebbles
Love that shot with the road. Sort of shot I would have loved to have got back in the old B&W film days
It still is the old black and white days, just shoot film
@@larson0014 no going back for me I'm afraid:-(
Pushing Tri-X to ASA 800!
Thank you for the tip Sir... Really helpful 🙏🙏😊
This video comes in the right time. Tuesday I will go for 3 days at the lake district, based in Grasmere. It's 7 years that I live in the UK and it's the first time for me visiting the Lake district park. I'm very exited and I can't just wait
First time!!! Where have you been... you will love it
@@NigelDanson I've been few times in the Peak district that is closer to where I live. And thankyou, I'm sure that I will love it :)
Good advice for those of us who get those rains.
Thanks for sharing all great photos. Do you decide the image ratio to be 2:3, 3:4 or 16:9 during the shot or in postprocessing?
Wow, amazing location, Im now saving for some good waterproofs and a blunt bromley too! Thank you :-)
Great tips!
Great video A gain
