The trials of British Winter photography.

- In this video I attempted some Winter forest photography, only to be let down by the dull and dark Winter weather. Armed with a Nikon D850 and some rather muddy boots, I search for inspiration while getting to grips with a new camera body. (Yes...I missed the D750 in this video too!)

Thanks for watching and your lovely comments! I'm currently travelling but will respond to you all when I have a spare 5 minutes and some good WiFi!
A breath of fresh air to actually find someone who knows what they're talking about. Thank you. xx
I could absolutely picture the people in the queue staring at the person at the front of the line. You REALLY need to Photoshop goggly eyes on the queue of trees! 😀
I always enjoy the personal quirks and dynamics as much as the pixs. Your teaser for next week could have come right of the shelf of Jane Bond. Loved it. Bill
Stumbled across this by chance..... loved your video, and it's so refreshing to listen to someone not spouting catchphrases or painfully trendy buzz words.
Lovely, honest and refreshingly quirky. Well done
Its 4 in the morning, i cant sleep so hunting down interesting videos. Photography has 2 paths. Firstly the Here is something, look at it, its nice, you want it. Its advertising and the story is very direct and fits alongside popular culture easily.
Secondly, we can make images that evoke a feeling, a metaphor for other thoughts and its not the object itself that is paramount. This is art and for the casual viewer is often misunderstood. The casual viewer wants instant gratification whereas the inquisitive viewer will take some time to put their own thoughts into the image. The visual lens based artist is not in the business of giving the viewer an easy time. They want you to meet them in the image. Work such as this gives the artist a voice, the ability to tell a story or convey a narrative that cannot be verbalised. Your work is just that. The metaphor of the queuing people perfectly thought through.
BTW, my last Nikon was the D850. Awesome quality.
I love shooting in the winter and fall in Canada Everything is contrasty and dead. Give a good black and white mood of the summer past. You remember how everything was colourful and alive then dies off then revives again in the spring. I always take a photo, what happens if there is a forest fire, that scene is gone forever and at least you have captured it:)
The American South is also a struggle in the winter. We don't get much snow or fog, but lots of stark gray days or the awkward blue sky with orange-brown leaves look. I'm learning about split tone editing and how well teal and orange go together in landscapes, so maybe that will help. I prefer grayer days and do close ups for a soft, moody abstract botanical. Still, it's an uninspiring setting, so it's nice to remember that many of us live in these challenging locations and keep trying.
You have a great gallery and are easily my best find in youtube and instagram lately. Hope to see more of your beautiful work. 🙂
👀❤🔥👍🏻
I'm singing in the rain
Just singin' in the rain
What a glorious feeling
I'm happy again
Congrats on your recent surge in regular viewership Courtney, well deserved.
When it comes to planes flying over... I tend to have to deal with noisy quadbikes a lot more as I film mostly in Wales 😅
Oh dear haha, just as noisy! 😂 thanks Joshua!
4:07 this one is really master piece. 👍
I enjoy this challenge. I live in Southern Ontario, Canada and there are a lot of days like this, often snowless or close to it for a few months of the winter. I often power through the winter months and eventually take some of my favourite work of the year during the mid-end of winter with these conditions. Really love emphasizing textures and compositions in landscape work. Your photos here conveyed a lot of that and I think they’re fantastic! Great video
I like your videos because I do the same kind of camera walking. This way I have my own photo sessions and I have yours. Twice the joy of it.
I see you sometimes try to do something out of nothing and it inspires me to try more. Sometimes it works, sometimes not. The joy is the trying, the effort, spending time in the geography, remembering the trips when looking at photos. We have lots of nature around here in Sweden and everything is free to use.
yes and dogs running free. knocking in to the camera tripod. P.S lovely video thank you
I totally see the trees peeking over each other! It's brilliant!
Yes!!! Someone else who can see it too! 😂
1: THe YT algorithm showed me your channel, now a subscriber. 2: Love the style of your videos, very enjoyable. 3: As a semi-pro(my terms) photographer, I love your shots! 4: at 7:20 you were considering taking or not taking...as the great Wayne Gretzky said 'You miss 100% of the shots you don't take"..and I think it applies to photography as well as hockey. If you were shooting FILM, that would be a harder choice. But with digital, you can shoot every shot you can, and decide later whether to use it. I took a shot once of one very colorful cardinal...I almost didn't shoot it. What I didn't see was the other ones behind it!! Had I not taken it, I would have missed it. Keep up the good work!
What made you go with Nikon and not Canon or Olympus? I started with a Nikon 5300(before I dropped it), then I got a second-hand t2i Canon. Been through 3 Rebels and now with mirrorless M50 Canon. Not sure I will stay with Canon. Curious of your thoughts?
You’re adorable. Love watching your videos all the way from Klamath Falls, Oregon, USA
Ooo new gear is always fun! My favourite place - Lamington National Park - is under a flight path so definitely have plane issues there (which is always strange as it feels/is so remote otherwise). My bigger issue though is noisy birds deciding to interrupt me...that and my just getting distracted by almost anything 🤣 You got some lovely shots in spite of the dull light...I have a habit of mostly shooting in landscape orientation in woods and your first path shot is a great reminder for me how vertical with a path can really lead you into the scene.
I loved this one, it put a huge smile on my face!
This is very kind of you, thanks! Glad it put a smile on your face!
First, good to see that you invested with quality over boots. Walking around in the forest with your feet soaking wet is a bad idea. Second, good to see you're developing your photography by planning where you're going, preparing for the weather and studying the scene before pressing the shutter button. Preparation is key to every successful campaign. Third, be careful of that boar gang running around. They look cute at a distance (like 10 miles away) but not close up! Fourth, using a Nikon D850 to create excellent images? Nooooo! They're too expensive for my liking and I refuse to spend $90.00 to $125.00 US dollars any memory cards. Fifth, keep up the great work and remember, Nikon D850 bad!😱😱😱
Subscribed the second you pulled out your DSLR. My 2023 pet peeve is all the mirrorless hype on RUclips photography channels. Extra points for being a Nikon user. Beautiful images, kudos.
Very entertaining again, thanks from Wyoming USA!
Wild Boars are cool until you are running for your life. Great video.
Great video Courtney I love your style of video good to see you back 🔥🔥🇬🇧
Living & photographing in rural Cornwall, we have some of the most incredible light...
But our winter light can be be proper pants too!
Note, I say CAN BE, because, among all the 'dog cπ@p' days, when everything tends toward That shade of brownish-grey, there are always some when the winter sun breaks through or, like today, the early frost leads to 'smoke' over the river, etc.
Photography is always a conflict of compromises & you need to pick your days & re-think your plans according to 😎
You are simply amazing.
The excitement of the d850 on your face was um priceless. 🙂
Your first and last image are really nice. Really love the first image; very painterly and peaceful. Agree the last image would look even better with a little bit of light. Your shot with the phone provided a much better result with minimal light. Even better light + the DSLR would be amazing.
Preview of the next video was hilarious!🤣
Lovely images! Good camera the d850, great all round performance with great autofocus and beautiful files!
I love your videos and, you are such a sweet-hearted person. I enjoy nice people they make our world much nicer to live in, and at 70 I have known my share of walking posteriors. ;)
Thanks Courtney for sharing the adventure on a gloomy day....I love wide shots that take in a lot of the subject in compositions..... maybe because the lay of the land is so different to what I am used to in Australia....love your work and comments.... interesting comments about the camera choice & I agree that two different cameras are better than two of the same...I am only a hobbyist but I have a D7100 & D500 & love using both with different lenses.... keep up the good work... cheers from Australia 😀❤️
Moving “up” in the world. Good for you. You deserve it. Don’t fret, it’s grey and rainy even in San Diego.
In an era of mirrorless, it's good to see the D850 (which I have), being featured so well. You're inspiring me to get out in winter.
Hey Courtney, Glad to see you got the D850. I suggested it to you a few months ago when you had your 750 mishap. I rented one for three days, brought it back and then ordered one myself. I love it. I spent a week setting it up and I'm still learning. Enjoy it. Keep them videos coming.
The "queue" photo is interesting. It also teaches me that sometimes you cannot wait forever to get a photo.
Thanks Courtney. Ottawa Canada here.
Great work as usual Courtney. I like being taken through the thought process for the images but also totally here for the weird bits.
Nice video Courtney. I think I will go get some woodland photography at the weekend
one other bonus of choosing the 850 is that it is a more modern model, so if you use flash, it is then compatable (via firmware updates) to use the SB-5000 radio triggered model, so giving more range to wireless off camera flash, as well as the transmitter being a 'release'- with a remote included with the radio kit.
Interesting video Courtney.
It's good to venture off the beaten track when going through the woods as sometimes there is a better photo option there.
The next video, is it the next Bond girl lol.
Nice compositions, I definitely saw the queue of people 😅👌👀
In my vlogs I'm.always waiting for planes,cars, people.... myself .. 😳😁
Genuinely admire your dedication to finding a shot in poor conditions. I genuinely struggle to motivate myself to get out with the camera if I can see the light won't be optimal and it's a behaviour I need to get out of. I've taken some of my best shots when I've least expected it and was forced to think more creatively to make a decent image.
I agree with you, just looking around can yield the wonders around us.
Victoria I live in Brazil (Rio de Janeiro) where the tropical forests are very different from the European ones. I also take pictures of nature. Congratulations on the channel. Your photographic look is beautiful.
You seem to me to be a photography prodigy. Your balance of color, light, mist, and thoughtful composition is on par with some of the best photographers based in your part of the world such as Mads Peter-Iversen, Gary McIntyre, James Popsys, and Kim Grant. Remarkable for someone so very young. You are a better photography than me, and I’ve been shooting since 1972.
Nice to hear a local accent! YT just put this on my home page!
Congratulations - You made the right decision purchasing the D850. Be sure to utilize all the touch screen capabilities.That, in itself, is enough reason to use the D850 rather than the D750.
For example - with your kind of tripod work, you can easily set up the rear screen to "touch" the screen anywhere you want to focus, and then even allow the camera to trip the shutter with the same touch. Add a 2 or 3 second timer to that, and with one gentle touch on the screen you will instantly focus, 3-second timer, & fire off the shot. One simple touch. Also perfect for focus stacking too, as with each shot, you simply touch the area you want to focus on. This gives the D850 what I feel is the most perfect way to shoot static woodland shots!!!
Congratulations to the wonderful D850! When I change to over 40MP, I like it that much to have that range and the possibility to crop when my lens is not long enough, that I never will miss ist in
the future.
Very cool video! Love your style making videos, clumsy woman😊. Very nice photos too, I prefer the upwards looking image of the path.
I find when photographing in dull light & dull colours black & white can bring more vibranse & life to an otherwise dull uninteresting scene.
That first image is gorgeous. Gives me the feeling of a scene from a fairytale. I expect Winny the Pooh to come down that path any moment. Great post processing to enhance the atmosphere!
I like your humor. Great video.
enjoying your photographic journey, keep it up - good work
Congrats on the purchase of the D850. Enjoy shooting with it . I love trees and yes most do remind me of people, lol I have a special tree it looks as if its winking at people as you pass . Wonder if others think trees have faces ?? Looking forward to your next video.
What a trooper you are Courtney sprinting back to the car in the rain still videoing (is that even a word?) ✌️🌻🇦🇺
A hill always envites me to see whats behind . . .
The wild you encounter, amazing . . .
The Que, yes its there, but not quite . .
Body . . . i just drop in, are you a camera body review chanel, the first 12 minutes say no . . . but professionals always have back up!
Don’t feel too badly, or alone Courtney, I too am a klutz!! All we can do is laugh at ourselves! I also have an 850. You will love it!! Thanks for sharing the video!
Airplanes and cars are the Worst! Great vid Courtney!
Hello Courtney
Stumbled upon your channel a few days ago, and what a refreshing change to watch someone who not only knows what you are doing, but in such a light hearted and entertaining way too. Not like some of the Po faced idiots who "think" they know it all. Keep up the good work. BTW. Love the dance routines 😂
I see your videos not because of your video contents, but because of your pure beauty.
Another great video. Thanks for the inspiration
I went from a D750 to a D850 and few years ago. It is a great camera in my opinion. Great video!
Hi court welcome back for 2023 hope you had a great new years
Dull Grey and Muddy sounds a lot like my midwest winter photography as well lol
1st comment- great video editing. Clearly took a lot of time but very useful. I can’t wait for my prize for 1st comment. 850 is a great choice. I’m really starting to prefer a dslr over Mirrorless a lot of times.
Beautiful photos!! You look so cute too!!
A year or so ago I came across a like new z7 with 1200 actuations for 1400 bucks. Had been using a d7500 for years before that. The z7 is absolutely dynamite. Enjoying your camera evolution, though I think once you use a mirrorless you’ll never go back.
I feel your pain. Winter landscape is very difficult. It's hard for me to stay inspired when everything is so dead and color-less
Fab video! Look forward to future ones.
The queue reference hit home!😂
Thought the point you made at 8:00 was a bit boaring! Sorry, awful dad joke! I think the shot at 9:55 of the leaning tree has a form of balance in the 'small many/large one' sense, so I think the composition works, but I'd keep coming back in different lights to see how it shapes up. I like the way you see things.
Love all your videos
Beautiful shot @4:07
I also have the D750 and the D850 both great cameras, the best part is the controls are familiar to each other making it easy to go from 750 to 850
Great job, as always! I love your style in these videos. We are all going through the landscape blahs right now, but I must say you came up with some very good images. You’re going to love that D850! Thanks for taking me along!
Another fun video and good choice with the D850. I forgot to comment on your bag video, it's a good bag but wait until the Summer... the Yellow attracts every inspect, bee/wasp in the area!!
nice to see you out, shame we did not get chance to hook up over the Xmas hols, maybe soon..
I reallly admire your videos. It's so clear that you put in so much work and your photographs are beautiful. No wonder you have so many views. Glad I stumbled across your channel.
Welcome to the channel haha! And thank you, it's very much appreciated
I just discovered you again. I realized I watched your past video when you dropped your camera into the stream. Ouch! Enjoyed this winter photography video. I am not very good at composition and I watch a number of people who seem to have a great perspective on composition. I will start going through some of your older video's to learn from you. Thanks!
I'm new to your channel and as a nikon shooter myself (Z5) I couldn't not support you :) happy to subscribe and always good to see more ladies in a very male dominated genre.
Yeah, hard to afford but D850's a beast..id like ine myself. Mirrorless weight difference & size is also appealing. Today's tech in Cameras is utterly brilliant.
Another great video well done!
Nice video in a place I love, but have not visited for far too long. Also, thanks for putting the list of your gear on your website. That was very helpful.
Clumsy, Cute and Beautiful 😍😘D850 is perfect for your nature photo's.
Oh Courtney! I’ve just managed to get the money together for a 750 and now you tease me with the 850 😮.
Love your work and commentary. Leaning trees…not so sure but people queuing yes. Inspired again. Cheers.
Hello Courtney, thank you for this video, your YT channel and other content. It's inspiring. My wife and I recently retired, and have turned our love of travel and adventure into our own YT channel, and we are always looking for content that can improve our photography and video content. We tend to focus on getting out of the areas most tourists seem to flock to, and focus on rural areas that are full of beauty. We've subscribed and will follow your own adventures. Thanks again for all you do.
Nice video and great tutorial of picking the right composition. At the beginning, I thought something was wrong with the video but could not put my finger on it. It was at the end when it started to rain, I realized what was wrong: wet Courtney was missing in the video.
Thanks for the video about winter photography. My friends and family think I'm nuts for taking photos of winter dead plants ;)
Outstanding 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I really liked the square photos, very Charlie Waite esque. Also your explanations were insightful
Yes, the weather is a bit hit and miss just now and go out into Derbyshire when it looks that a gap of good light is coming. My camera got a bit wet during one session, but I had everything set up for a photograph and was just determined to wait it out. I used my gloves to try and keep the camera dry and watched my hands changing colour. I got the shot and it was worth it. It was an exhilarating experience and a pot of tea and a hot sandwich at Brierlow Bar bookshop was the reward. Sometimes you just have to go out because you just don't know what you are going to find; but wrap up well, just in case. I enjoyed your woodland video, I have a real thing about trees, always have.
First time seeing one of your vids. Subscribed - got to support fellow D850 users!!😁
The 850 is nice bump from the 750, have fun!
Greetings, Courtney. Lots of magic in your video, and great tips when shooting in low light. I was out in a forest yesterday here in Vancouver bc where the light was low, yet i like that. In the 58 second and 222 second mark in your video with that foggy background and the mossy tree is what I like shooting. playing around with light, or lack thereof is what I like to capture that, or try to, playing with my colours, in sepia, bw and vivid, playing around with my iso to give it that extra moody feeling. Cheers.
the finish is pure gold!
Hello, Courtney! Your videos are exemplary and it becomes immediately obvious that you have a rare gift! Your D750 was what, at first, attracted me to your videos but then quickly realized that there are volumes to be gleaned. I am considering moving up to the D750 so this particular episode where you discuss both the D750 and D850 were made to order. Thank you so much!
Beautiful Video :) Nice to see a pretty Young Person taking such Photos :) :) :) Maybe a Great idea to move to the D850 for the subject,,, and opportunity to make some grand enlargements !!!!!
Nice step up in cameras! I would explore that area more, you may find some hidden gems to take images of. Try to do a search for the history of that area. Those bricks were some type of building or house or wall at one time. Your shots were great! Thanks for sharing with us!
Hope you have a great trip!!!!
