Wow Henry that silver birch image is beautifully delicate. Love it
Lovely photos can’t beat autumn
That last image was really beautiful Henry.
final shoot is a keeper.
Great tip on how to focus with the magnification on. I love your last image.
Great images in the wood wonderland. Great advice too!
Thanks for your efforts, Henry!!
Great advice and that last picture is just stunning thank u
Really useful video for us learners, and a great photo
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Got my calendar today. Awesome!
love the silver birch photo.!
Fairplay Henry a great video on probably 1 of the hardest parts for me anyway of photography how and where to focus ! Thank you.
Like you Henry, i use BBF all the time.
A very informative video for everyone.
Fantastic shot of the Silver Birch Tree.
Much appreciation from Canada!
Hi Henry. Thanks for the tips on focusing mate. I really like the final image, class.🙂
That last image was cracking. 👍
That last one is really interesting, almost like a burst of fireworks
Superb image Henry. The way the leaves POP out from the tree is awesome, that is a wall hanger for sure. I enjoyed the focus lesson as well, keep it up Henry.
I’ll have to give that a go, some great tips there Henry
Brillant
That is exactly how I do it as Well.
I appreciate the effort you put in to help those of us learning photography 👍
Wish you could be here in southern Ontario as the fall colours are amazing!
I'm in Northumberland County. This year is better for colours than it's been in years. But too damn wet and cold the past two weeks for my other thing: motorcycle touring the Frontenac Region.
Hi Henry, just started watching this video and your calendar arrived!. Annoyed that the post office folded it in half somewhere in the delivery process!. Loved this video thanks buddy. Graham.
That last image is something special! Very beautiful!
Henry, that square picture with the tree trunk and glowing golden leaves was brilliant.
I'm forever going off path. I got freaked out once when I came across a shelter someone had made. It looked like someone was living in it.
The last photograph is absolutely beautiful ❤
That square cropped silver birch is absolutely lovely. Well done, as always!
Great video again Henry. Thank you so much. I have spent all evening watching reviews on my next camera purchase. Your video has been a welcome break! Back to the research and agony of wanting!
I'm guilty of 'analysis paralysis' when I am searching and that's not just for cameras. Sometimes I have to start all over days later because I take in so many factors.
@@charlieross-BRM 'analysis paralysis'! Perfect description for my anguish.
Back button focus... YEAH! I've been doing that for years, Henry, and it's defo best IMO. Thanks for highlighting the fact that you do that.
Nice one Henry.
I discovered back button focus a couple of years back and absolutely love it, couldn't imagine going back now.
Wow! That is a gorgeous image Henry. Love your channel, love your images, love your methods of teaching and showing everyone how to be better at photography and enjoying life itself! Bravo!!!
Great composition on the first picture Henry, and love the silver birch in the second picture. Another great video Henry.
Thanks for the info on focus and the use of the back button, have heard it mentioned in various vids, but never used it. Will now. Really liked the final pic btw!
That last image is a cracker mate😎
Back button focus and using the ok button to zoom in took me a while to get use to but well worth the perseverance.
Absolutely gorgeous photography as always Henry I just love following you on your beautiful travels through the countryside!
Exquisite! Thank you 🤗🥰😘😻🙌🙌🙌🙌👏👏👏👏👏🌲🌿🍀☘️🌳🍁🍂📷🎥😽I love trees especially the silver birches ❤
More great tips on focusing. Thanks Henry. I don't often use my back button but now I want to get out and give it a go. In my own videos, I'm often giving you a shout out about zooming in to focus and then zooming out. The Henry Turner Technique 🙂
It's always surprising to see the difference between the subject in your video (looks ... so-so) and the end result which looks great !! Love it !
As a wildlife photographer, BBF is king. But as I’m slowly getting into landscape photography, as you say, it’s still a technique that is very useful. Great vid as usual 👌🏻👌🏻
The last image was great Henry. Liked the highlights of the tree against dark background.
Inspired me to go out to woodland tomorrow for more practice and hopefully to Padley Gorge.
I still sometimes have issues with getting pin sharp focus and think this might be due to the camera ever so slightly slipping down on the tripod ball head (especially when using long lens with more weight on the ball head) as I can see it sometimes drifting on LCD screen when magnified. May have to invest in a better ball head. Any reccomendations without talking about silly money?
Ps. 2023 calendar arrived and looks the great
Thanks.
That’s a bazzin photo of the silver birch Henry! Wondering if you use focus peaking at all?
Absolutely love the silver birch photo, those leaves pop beautifully. I use back button focus, but am guilty (lazy?) of not zooming in to make sure the focus is exactly where I want it. I guess this would be especially important when ‘manually’ focus stacking. Another great vlog, looking forward to the next one.
Thanks Again Henry! I really appreciate your pointers on focus techniques. The last image was surprisingly beautiful and somewhat abstract. Great job!👍
Thanks for another great video Henry! You've reminded me that I should stop trying to get the whole tree in the shot and focus on just part of it for my woodland photos!
Hi Henry, fantastic shots, but my favorite is the silver birch on the black back ground. It works for me, that pops out spot on! My kind of shot.
How to deal with it Different light conditions? Can you make a video about that?
Love that silver birch image I took one very similar last week
Great stuff Henry, the silver birch was great. Time to go out in woods this week and put the focus tips into practice, it explained a lot to get that focus spot on. Keep up the fab work.
Thanks Henry for sharing your experience & great advice on focusing methods.... this is one of my main problems in photography even though I am only a hobbyist...we all want pics in focus whether it is landscape or whatever... your help is greatly appreciated.... cheers from Australia 😀
Great video , your channel has been very educational for me. thanks bud+
Lovely images Henry, the second one in particular was a beauty, really love your editing approach to it. Back Button Focus was a great change to my set up too and always set this up when ever I change cameras
Many thanks!
Great photo's and video as per usual Henry, thank you for sharing. Question, are all your focusing techniques for landscape photography taken in one particular mode: IE Matrix (Nikon) does centre weighted or spot metering, play a role as well depending on the scene ?
I found this a very useful video as focus can be a difficult one to get right. I have been doing quite a lot of photographing of fungi recently and have had some success with focus, would this method work on close ups. I don't have a closeup lens, I have a Nikon Zfc with an 18/140mm lens which is a very good set up for me.
Nice video, again, Henry! Good advises.
Just last weekend I have participated to a photo tour/workshop (here, in Romania, in a mountain region) as participant (not organiser - haha), where I received the same advises from more experienced photographers - to use focus point (for landscapes and big vistas I used to use Area AF, I wasn't paying too much attention to this), to check where the camera will focus, I "was forced" for the first time to use "exposure bracketing", I have seen the big differences with a polarised filter and many other things. Yep, when you learn on your own, even taking examples from youtube from great photographers (like you too, of course), still miss out things, can not be the same learning curve with a group of people with with different experiences.
Your video comes very well! If you had been with us, you would have had the opportunity to take great photos of the Fall, with gorgeous colors of red-yellow-orange and mixed, at sunrise and sunset🥰🥰🥰....... 2 days and half great experience.
Have a great evening and good luck I wish you!
That silver birch shot is an absolute belta, beautiful !
Lovely shots, wish I could set zoom to another button as I use the ok button to return my little red dot to return to centre of viewfinder on my z7
Was anyone else waiting for the checkovs gun of Henry's low battery to go off. Every time he'd focus on the screen and settings the battery was lower till it was in the red for thebsilver birch pic. Was convinced it was just gonna blink off as he was talking us through his methods 😆
Yes I saw that to, his battery was getting low. I'm sure Henry must have seen it to lol.
Will we ever get the final van build video? On the edge of our seats!
Do you have to be careful of ticks and check yourself after tromping in the woods in England?
Cheers Henry for yet another brilliant video, how did you assign the “ok” button to fully zoom in? I have the D7500, I would think it’s almost the same if I can do it. It would be useful for focus stacking. Cheers
It’s ok I’ve found it. 👍👍 ( Menu-pencil menu-controls-f Controls-f2 OK button-Live view-Zoom on/off) thanks again Henry. 👍👍
Wonderful images! Why not focus using touch screen?
Hi Henry, another interesting video, and thanks for sharing another grand day out. A couple of nice shots there, and in truth both are nice examples of how to use a vignette. Interesting how you focus, i use BBF, but have my camera set to AF-C, so that its a single press for landscapes and hold it for moving targets. As for where to focus, I've learnt something new again, so thanks for that, I'll give it a go. All the best!
feel like such a dumb arse , watching this. All the time i was zooming in never did i think i could use the autofocus while zoomed in, too funny. i was focusing then zooming to check then readjusting lol . feel like a dead set tool cheers mate for the wake up call .
What about focus stacking?
Where do I focus? It varies depending upon the focal length in use!
With wide angle lenses, 16mm or wider, I find that I can focus at the hyperfocal distance. Dial in f/8 and everything more than a couple of feet away is tack sharp.
With longer lenses, 70mm and longer, I will use the same method as Henry, focus 1/3 of the way into the scene. Of course, there is a caveat. How far away is the farthest object I want in focus?
Focal lengths 24-70mm always seem to work with an aperture of f/5.6 to f/8.
Why don’t you use the touch focus function on the LCD? Seems simpler than moving the point around with the arrow keys.
Good point, I find myself avoiding the screen for most things, even reviewing shots in the digital viewfinder, because of the battery drain. Then again I'm used to Canon's R-line which is a battery hog...
muscle memory
How/where do you focus if you are using manual focus? Thanks
Another great video henry. Is that the Manfrotto MSQ6T Arca swiss adapter you have on your tripod? I am looking at swapping the plate on my Manfrotto tripod from the RC2 system to Arca Swiss and have been thinking of getting the MSQ6T, how have you found it?
Enjoyed the video! Especially liked the silver birch photo. I noticed the lens used is a 24-200. Do you find that focusing 1/3 the way into the scene works throughout the zoom range of your lens? For example, if you shoot a lighthouse from quite a distance and the best composition leaves you at 200mm, will focusing 1/3 into the frame still work well?
I’m really enjoying your channel. Thanks for your efforts!
Hey Henry. Two questions. In your first example you said you focused first and then stopped down.Why in that order? Why not stop down and then focus? In your second example you really surprised me when you said you set your camera to BBF. I had assumed that you used BBF almost exclusively.
👍
I don't understand why cameras don't come with BBF as default from factory? I leave my camera in AF-C for everything. No need to switch between Focus modes or focus and recompose like you do with the half pressing shutter method.
Do you use a camera crew? I'm thinking to launch a YT channel, but seems like a lot of work.
In the Netherlands you are not allowed to go off the paths in the woods.
I see the headlines: Photographer leaves the trails and gets lost in the woodlands. Reappears after two weeks of wandering in the wild for two weeks.
