Duh!!! 🤦🏼♀️That didn't even float into my mind! So thank you ! When I was driving home I thought I should have tried to contact the Nikon SnapBridge app with my camera, which I have used as a self-portraits in the past. It might have been just outside of range! Next time....next time. 😀📸
Have you considered downloading the app for your camera and using that to control taking your shots? Easiest way for a single person to get photos of themselves from a distance, to include changing the focus if necessary. Just a thought.
I was driving home after my hike when I had my "duh" moment that I could have tried to connect the Nikon SnapBridge app on my phone with my camera. Not sure if it would have been too far away. Thankfully, this waterfall isn't too far away, so I can easily head back out to retake the photo, either connecting via my phone or using the interval timer feature built-in to my Nikon Z6. So, there will be a next time! 😀📸
Great effort with the run to the waterfall hope you make it next time.. First time seeing one of your videos loved it and I hit the subscribe button for more.
Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed the video! Yes, hopefully I can get the shot next time, either using the Nikon SnapBridge app or the built in interval timer. Two things I didn't think about at the time! 😂🤦🏼♀️🤷🏼♀️ Have a fantastic day!
Hi Acacia, I liked the shot of the falls that strongly picks out the strange vertical striping on the rock - it is such an unusual feature and you captured it well. As for the Peak Design Capture Clip, have you considered placing the camera in the clip with the lens pointing out to your left, instead of vertically down? It might allow better access to your phone pouch. Thanks for producing this video - I enjoyed my hike with you.
Thank you! I loved the uniqueness of the rocks too. I haven't tried attaching the camera where the lens is pointing sideways. I feel like it might annoy my arm, but I won't know unless I try, right?! Have a fantastic day! 📸🥾
I have seen Mads Peter Iverson take similar self portraits from a distance. I believe he sets his camera up to do a time lapse sequence with 10 seconds between shots. Several shots will be taken of course, but more likely to get something you are happy with. I do admire your attempt to get the shot in one go though. 👍🏼
Nice! Yeah, It didn't even occur to me at the time to set up interval shots....might have saved myself a sprint. It also occurred to me when I was driving home that I could have also tried to connect the Nikon SnapBridge app on my phone with my camera and done a self-portrait that way, though not sure if it was too far. There's always next time and maybe with more leaves on the trees! 😀📸
You wore me out watching you sprint! Suggestion: if you camera has the feature, use intervalometer and have it take a series of shots to cover the time you need to make it up there and a few options once you make it to the bench :)
It wasn't until I posted this video that I realized I could have used the feature! And yes, my Nikon Z6 does have an interval timer built in. As I was driving home, I realized I could have also tried to connect the Nikon SnapBridge app on my phone to my camera as well. Thankfully, there is always next time and this waterfall isn't too far from my house! 😀📸
I've been wanting to buy a men's Shimoda pack for a while. Your video talked me into it. I'm ordering one as soon as I finish this post! A suggestion for your pepper spray - stick a piece of velcro on the spray, and another on your strap. That should keep it from swinging around. PS - I always look forward to your videos!!
Awesome! I would like to go back there after we have had an extended period of no rain to see how lower water levels affect the look of the rapids. Thanks for sharing!
There are several different things I could have done. Continuous shooting, connecting to my Nikon SnapBridge app (which I thought of as I was driving home), or using the interval timing feature that's built into the Z6. All those options escaped me when I was there...probably because of pure stubbornness that I could make it! Thankfully, this waterfall isn't too far from my house, so I can go back and get the shot! 📸😀
Excellent video Acacia! Your waterfall photos have always been my favorites. I have been off of YT for a while so I haven't taken the opportunity to congratulate you on 1000 subscribers. Congratulations! I have been a subscriber from almost the beginning so it has been great seeing your channel grow. Well deserved!
Thank you Walter! ❤️ I really appreciate all your support and yes...you subscribed somewhere around my third video...and I think you first commented on a video from this same location! Though, that video is no longer publicly viewable, but I think I can still look at the comment section. It felt really good to cross the 1,000 subscribers mark at the end of December! 😀 Thank you again Walter!! Have a fantastic day! 😀📸
Crap🤣🤣🤣. Laughing with you Acacia😀. Man you’re fast👍🏻. You took off like something was after you, but then I realized what you were trying to accomplish. The Bench is my favorite shot and I agree that someone on the bench would be a great shot😀. Shimoda, if you’re reading this, Acacia needs to be a spokesperson👏🏻😀
😂 I just wasn't fast enough! I do plan to go back...maybe once there are leaves on the trees and try and get the shot. Either using an intervalometer, as others suggested and I forgot about, or just having someone with me. 😀📸
I get on location and forget all about the different settings on the camera one can use for the shots - so great try with the self-portrait at falls! Wish I could run up a hill these days - LOL. If I remembered, I would have tried the intervalometer (time lapse setting). Enjoy your videos, thanks for sharing.
Same! Sometimes I will be driving home or I am editing a photo and think, "I should have tried xyz". Thankfully, in this instance I can go back to the waterfall either with someone with me or using an intervalometer. 😀📸
I have never been to the US, but this landscape seems very English, where you are. Alternatively I suppose, England looks very American. lol. Another great video, I love your enthusiasm.
I'm in North Carolina, so along the East Coast. North Carolina is pretty diverse in landscape, we have the ocean and mountains with foothills and flat land in between. I am specifically in what is called the Piedmont Triad area. There are aspects that make me think of the English landscape. Thanks for watching! Have a fantastic day! 😀📸
@@AcaciaFikeNelson I'll check it out online. I was born and raised in Devon, UK. Near the edge of Dartmoor where we spent a lot of our time, before I moved away. I regret ever moving. Where you are is a beautiful area, unless your filmography and photography enhances the views. I'd love to visit all these areas.
@@janneroz-photographyonabudgetI don't think my photos or videography is too off the mark of what it actually looks like. There are a lot of trees, but there are all these special pockets that provide diversity. In North Carolina, there are hundreds of waterfalls, which are one of my favorite things to photograph! Have a fantastic week! 😀📸
why not use a time lapse setup on the camera and just walk towards the spot not in a hurry and then pick the picture you are most happy with? You will toss several in the bin but you will get the shot you are after.
All the things I thought about after I left the area. 🤷🏼♀️ Thankfully, I live close so I can get the shot either using the built-in interval timer or the Nikon SnapBridge app. Have a fantastic day! 📸🥾
Hi, you just need a button for the remote shutter release of the camera and fresh batteries in it. And everything should work out. But if only you decided to motivate yourself to physical education in this way, then you can continue to make such throws)))
Yes....My camera can connect with the Nikon SnapBridge app on my phone. It was something I thought about as I was driving back home. 🤷🏼♀️ Thankfully, I live fairly close, so I can go back and get the shot. 😀📸
Yes, it was as I was driving home I thought about how I could have tried to connect the Nikon SnapBridge app on my phone with my Nikon Z6. Not sure if it would have been too far away, but it would have been worth a shot! I don't normally like people in my landscape nature photos as well...unless it's for a portrait session. Others also pointed out that I could have used the internal timer option on my camera, which didn't even occur to me at the time! Have a fantastic day! 😀📸
Yup, definitely an option. I had one for my old Nikon, but it sadly isn't compatible to the Nikon Z6. As I was driving home,I realized I could have also tried to connect my phone to the camera with the Nikon SnapBridge app. Not sure if I would have been too far. Thankfully, the waterfall isn't too far away, so I can always go back! 😀📸
Yup...a wireless trigger would have been a great tool to have in that situation. Alternatively, I realized as I was driving home I could have used the Nikon SnapBridge app and others mentioned the built-in intervalometer. Thankfully, I live close enough to this location where I can go back and get the shot and wait for the perfect conditions. 📸🤷🏼♀️😀

Great fun watching you sprint to the bench
@@stephenjones6902 😂 I tried so hard to make it! Still haven't been able to make it back there, but on my agenda here soon! 😀📸
Very nice vlog! A work around could be using the intervalometer. You could set 1 minute between shots, 3-4 shots, wouldn’t be so short of breath then.
Duh!!! 🤦🏼♀️That didn't even float into my mind! So thank you ! When I was driving home I thought I should have tried to contact the Nikon SnapBridge app with my camera, which I have used as a self-portraits in the past. It might have been just outside of range! Next time....next time. 😀📸

I love the Shimoda bag and thank you for the suggestion for the pepper spray! Might give that a try! 😀📸
When I play with rapids, I like to get very low and use a faster shutter speed to show more energy.
Awesome! I would like to go back there after we have had an extended period of no rain to see how lower water levels affect the look of the rapids. Thanks for sharing!
Set it on continuous shooting, then pick out the best frame with you in it.
