What I like about Kim that she is NOT: She's not a know it all, talking down to her minions. What I like about Kim that she IS: She is not afraid to admit what she doesn't know... she has the ability to "see" before shooting a scene..... she has an obvious passion to learn... and in the last year, she has come a LONG way... So glad I found this awesome human!!!!
1/4 to 4/5 second shots of trees with leaves, guessing there isn't much wind. Beautiful colors and composition. Wise advise about leaving the river because of poor lighting conditions.
If I am out walking and don't want to carry my big telephoto, my lens of choice is the Tamron 18-400. It's a very good quality lens for a variety of applications. I don't expect it's available in Z mount yet, but if you have an FTZ it doesn't matter. You certainly have some great locations to chose from Kim, I so love watching your videos. Thanks for what you do.
Hi Kim wow now that bridge scene is right up my alley what a beautiful painting that would make, this video shows where I consider myself lucky because I can take a shot at anytime of the year and turn it into spring/summer/autumn or winter from the one image when I paint it. I know what I do is not true photography in the sense that you would have to keep going back until the conditions were perfect for the image your after where as I just need an image of a place and then change what I don't like in my painting. Sorry went on a bit there the video was a great watch as always and until next time take care and stay safe.
Kim I so enjoy your videos. I enjoy your enthusiasm and even though you don't always get the optimal light conditions you keep a great attitude and enthusiasm and you use those opportunities to look for potential images for the future. You are the type of person that i would love to go shooting with because of your willingness to be diverse in your subjects of photography. Thanks for another enjoyable video.
Omg that bridge view is so fantastic 😍 I'm a Scot who lives in South Australia harsh light is the norm .I so love to see the colour and soft light you shoot 😍😍❣️
Really enjoy working on trying to compose the shot as you explain the scene. Please don't forget to explain the mechanics of how you manipulate your equipment to obtain your photographs. Thanks again.
Loved this Kim beautiful locations , I totally agree about exploring and training your eye , your photo's are beautiful with perfect lighting , your so open and honest sharing this info you just say how it is thank you. Glad I've subscribed
Kim, all shots in here are just great. Woodlands may not be your specialty but these photos are pieces of art. Greetings from the foothills of Mt. Fuji
some great scenes you visit Kim ,but as you say some times you win some times you lose ,but what you see when your out can be taken in a few weeks time when conditions are right , ,great video again and great info as always take care and stay safe
Yes Kim. Hope to get out later this afternoon to shoot a local pond that is surrounded by trees. The light should be good after 4pm. Inspiring video, thanks.
Beautiful images Kim. Last night I watched 'the photography pubcast' and they were saying exactly what you're saying here about the light. The dark tree and boathouse shots were gorgeous especially the portrait image. Take care and stay safe ❤️
Hellooo Kim lovely Scotish peaty dark river , love it . miss it being on lockdown in my manchester condo overlooking a dreary street 😀 absolute bliss less misery , brightened up only by these videos and being reminded theres still a world beyond my local aldi ! ,PS any tips on photographing a window box 👍
The last image with the small tree reminds me of a herd of animals with a young baby hiding behind the mother. To get the shots you have to make the effort to get out and explore. Thanks for another informative video!
Some nice images in there Kim and some great advice. Shame about the bridge image looked a great location, one im sure you will return to at some point :-)
Blair’s Loch - a great location now that the vegetation has been cleared away - use to love photographing the red flaking paint and green ivy which sadly is no more after the boathouse was renovated.
Hello Kim, great video and thanks for sharing your advice on attempting to find a composition, I need all the help I can get. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷
Thanks, Kim! Yes, this has inspired me to get out and scout some locations, and tomorrow (11/9) I will be driving about three hours from home to the Oklahoma mountains for some landscape, woodland, and Astrophotography -- Using all your tips! Thanks!
One thing you can try when faced with conditions similar to those of your first location is ICM: set the camera up so you get a (very) slow shutter speed, compose your shot, press the shutter release, and then start moving the camera around. How much, and how long, you move the camera is something you will have to experiment with, there is no simple "formula" to work it out. Instead of moving the camera, you could try zooming in/out while the shutter is open. In either case, the result will be a picture based more on the contrast between colours than anything else. For reference: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intentional_camera_movement
Hi, enjoyed the video. Regarding the lack of zoom lens, have you thought about the FTZ adapter? I converted to mirrorless and kept my old lenses. Nikon have been very show with the release of z equipment. I have been waiting almost 2 months for a battery. Keep up the good work
Did you get the FTZ adapter? I realize your previous tele was probably APS-c but I'm thinking get a good used F-mount and it should hold it's value to the point you can get back most of the investment when the Z mount tele you want is available.
Kim have you considered the FTZ adapter for your Z6 to adapt your older nikon lenses to it. I am getting a Z6 as soon as I can and will get the adapter too so that I can still use my old lenses.
seems off topic for the title. there are Photographs almost everywhere almost all the time. the better you understand what you are looking for the more you will find.

Totally agree.
Couldn't agree more.
Kim's is one of a very small number of channels I watch every time. And it is exactly for this reason.
Another valuable lesson on what’s sometimes not possible! Excellent teaching moment.
Wonderful tips and photos Kim! Thanks!
Adaptation is an underrated skill.
Nice video Kim. Thank you.
Wonderful video. Thank you!
Was at this exact location this weekend ,another couple of weeks and the colours should be popping
Yes Sean! So looking forward to that

I really liked the bridge shot! Sky and all.
I have to say that, I just love this scene. I love old bridges.

Love your videos, just wondering about your bridge photo, if you might of used a graduated filter to tame the “too bright too dark” situation?
Gorgeous colors and photos. Thanks for sharing. Well done.
Kim i have to say i loved all the shots !!! beautiful work n woodlands !!! GOD BLESS !!!
that first location was stunning Kim you certainly got a cracking image.
Omg that bridge view is so fantastic 😍 I'm a Scot who lives in South Australia harsh light is the norm .I so love to see the colour and soft light you shoot 😍😍❣️
Nicely done. Can't always have the right conditions. But you can always learn from nature. For another time 📷👍
Really enjoy working on trying to compose the shot as you explain the scene. Please don't forget to explain the mechanics of how you manipulate your equipment to obtain your photographs. Thanks again.
Very enjoyable, honest and helpful Kim. Thank you 😊
I am enjoying your videos. I like how you challenge yourself to improve your skills and enjoy following your journey.
Hi Kim,
What a lovely place.
Beautiful images of the autumn colours at the river and woodland.
Stay safe
Nice video thanks for sharing. Is there any reason why you didn't use a grad filter for the bridge scene? All the best.

Good morning Kim Grant beautiful images you have there just love that river and bridge and woodland... be safe
Hi Kim, another interesting video, loving your take on woodland photography
Blair’s Loch - a great location now that the vegetation has been cleared away - use to love photographing the red flaking paint and green ivy which sadly is no more after the boathouse was renovated.
Hello Kim, great video and thanks for sharing your advice on attempting to find a composition, I need all the help I can get. Thanks for sharing and continue to stay safe 😷
Loved this video Kim, will be out soon putting into practice the advice you have given us; Thank you.
Beautiful location and an excellent job in capturing parts of it! I thoroughly enjoy watching your videos.

Great video Kim. Too bad the bridge was not include in your photos. Maybe next time. 👍👍👍

In these days when we're restricted with lockdown 2, it's especially important to see what photographs we can find around us, rather than traveling 👍
Too bright + too dark = exposure bracketing
seems off topic for the title. there are Photographs almost everywhere almost all the time. the better you understand what you are looking for the more you will find.
Too bright, white sky? Use sky replacement in Photoshop!
