My father's hobby and the love for Kubrick's movies moved me towards the fine art of photography and ever since i've regarded as at least "bizarre" comments about weather when out photographing. As long as you have a camera and one source of light you can't be wrong when taking pictures. Great video man loved it!
One of my favorite shots is a B/W. I captured a great shot of a sea turtle, underwater. I was really struggling with the color balance, finally said screw it, and made it monochrome. Wow. The detail came out, and I found that the color was distracting from the subject. Ended up having it printed on Aluminum. Really stands out. Thanks Nigel.
Exactly, I did a photo shoot for a friend who was performing and they were using alot of red lights everywhere...Had alot of struggle with the WB. Was able to correct many of them. However the B/W looked amazing as you said with the details shining through. And all I had to adjust on the B/W was just brightness and contrast! So easy!
I’ve just discovered you this morning. It’s 3 am here in Australia and I’m looking at your videos. Great video and I think I’ll really stick to this channel.. the picture with the guy walking is fenomenal.
Despite (or even because of) the weather you managed to get some cracking shots - the shot with the person was a real stunner. Great winning shot in your comp too.
This video comes in at right moment for me. Just a few days ago at the photoclub I was realising that I have to do better my B/W. Congratulations for your new beautiful printer and congratulations for Josh. Really deserved winning the competition.
I did my B&W with film many years ago. Developed film and printed on an enlarger. It was a magical experience when the print came up in the developer. No digital software programmers did this for me.
When I seen the Cano printer being carried my heart almost stopped, I have got the Canon PRO 10 and it just melts my heart every time it prints and no one knows what it is like to see how beautiful it comes out but the owner's whom have one.
Don't know how I've missed this.. I live on the wirral, really close to the lighthouse. I have recently sold all my old camera gear to put towards an upgrade for christmas and i'm looking forward to getting out again and trying black and white during the winter months.. Thanks for the reminder Nigel..
The photograph at 8:52 with the person walking toward the lighthouse with the dramatic sky in the background was a great black and white. I've never used b&w for stormy skies. This video makes me want to try.
Valid point with pre planing black and white, but i also tend to be open minded and i try during post processing to make two difference edits one none monochrome and one monochrome and sometimes i prefer the black and white over the colored one.
New Brighton looking its best. I really must get there without my dogs, they just don't understand that they can't be in the foreground of every shot. The last shot with the person walking across the frame had a fantastic, dramatic sky, well worth your patience.
Good choice to go B/W with the lighthouse images...they all have such a wonderful sense of moodiness & drama. I didn't hold out much hope for you at the beginning of the video with the weather conditions but your effort more than paid off in the end! I will have to try going out and intentionally shooting in b/w, I tend to just convert to b/w in LR when color doesn't work. Congratulations to Josh, well deserved!
Nice work. Mirrorless has been a blessing for BW. Like you I started with film and my own darkroom doing BW exclusively. Composition was always a challenge because you could only see color. I shoot Canon, and in the Monochrome Picture Style I set the lowest possible contrast. I like the punch of high contrast, but I prefer doing this in post. With low contrast you keep all shades and can chose which ones to ditch later.
Whoa! That's a serious printer and should give the Nikon something to show off on! I agree with the competition winner, that's an excellent storyteller of an image - well done Josh and I hope you didn't get frostbite!
Another inspiring and educational video! You opened up my eyes and mind today, I just purchased my first mirrorless last week, Sony A7iii, I never thought to put it in B&W mode to see in advance what the scene will look like in B&W. After so many years with film & digital DSLR's I consider this another plus for purchasing my mirrorless. If you hadn't mentioned it, who knows how long it would have been been before I discovered this great feature (at least in my case) for mirrorless cameras. Regard from the States!
New Brighton!!! Couldn't believe it when I saw the old fort. First time I have photographed something you have done! Not thought of black and white though so am going back to try it!
Glad you can it a 'black and white image'...since film photography is called a photograph. Im a film photographer, no digital and no computer. The camera and it's user is the computer. True photography.
Great video and brilliant final results, thank you for all of that! Greetings from Czech republic to Manchester or somewhere arround based on the dialect, right? 🙂
Do you have any tips on printing out B&W images on printers that may not have profile? What adjustments do you make to get the print to not come out too dark or washed out blacks. I can’t seem to find that happy median between too dark and washed out black. I have this problem with color images too.
Great video and amazing images! Just came across your channel... Congrats to the winner! I love b/w photography! It's actually what I prefer to shoot 90% of the time...As you said. I like to set my camera to Monochrome and think and shoot that way for the images. It absolutely helps you out with the composition.. Thank for sharing your fantastic tips! The images are stunning!
Iv used the d850s in mono , but it helps massively if you use the in menu filter set. Y-O-R-G , they make a Huge difference in camera and the settings are save'able in menus .
Excellent!! I’ve heard others recommend use the BnW setting on the camera but never thought to much of it. Then hearing of your 6 years in BnW and seeing this print and a few other details, I’m rally looking forward to getting out and working it that way. BTW I’m BnW w envy (😊) over your new nice big printer. I’m on a canon pro 10 for 4 years and love printing my stuff for myself as well as others. Thanks again Going to your web site too to check out things.
Images turned out fantastic, especially the printed one. How do you like the Nikon Z6? What lens you like best? I found a used Z6 body for $1600, do you think that’s a far price.
I just can't warm up to B&W photography, but I very much like scenes such your lighthouse in which the natural colors are so muted that the color images look nearly B&W.
I am happy that you are focusing on b/w this year, because I can't imagine b/w in landscape. Maybe at the end of the year :) Keep on Nigel, your content is awesome!
Amazing photography journey love the moments captured in black & white very powerful & moving skills & love how you discuss the concept of the shoots & put the camera settings on the video so the viewer could try them same camera settings when shooting long exposure shots at the beach
Perfect timing on the printed image! I shoot B/W always in color and change later to black and white in PS. Find it give me more control using the Im going to try your method and see how it goes.
Here’s a hint that can help with stabilizing your camera on a tripod. Hook sand bag to the center column. You can also stick the legs of the tripod deep into the sand for more stability.
Great video Nigel,have you sold the family jewels for the ink cartridges yet. I like B&W photography, started of with my fathers 35 mm Ilford Sportsman..although I feel a used MF kit over a new FF digital camera may be on its way. Well done Josh, a good atmospheric photo.
My question is, when shooting B&W film such as plus x, tri x etc. you can use red, yellow etc filters to alter the effect. Can you do that with a digital camera? Or photo shop?
I can see why you had to move your studio out of the office now, that printer is huge 😮. I also see you’re getting pointless ‘first’ comments now 😂clearly the sign of RUclips success🤣

That location is 12 miles from my house. I've photographed it several times but never done B&W. You have inspired me to do it. Thanks Nigel.
Where is this location ?
@@therandiked Perch Rock Lighthouse at New Brighton, Wirral
@@jerryhutchinson2543 Thanks :)
Am so pleased that you are so keen on print and that you print and display prints almost every episode;)
Love it!
Keep up the good work Nigel :)
Wow...I'm honestly speechless! Thanks so much for the opportunity
Awesome image - I will message you on Instagram
CONGRATS JOSH!!!!
Excellent image, mate!!
Congrats! It's a nice shot :)
Congratulations!

Nigel has an awesome channel and is a really great photographer. You will have many hours of enjoyment.
jeez, you are such an inspiring photographer, Nigel.
i love how you get your point across in a way that's so easy to understand.
Thanks for this! Black and white gives mood and contrast to the usual color photos we usually take!
I am self taught and have been shooting for 6 years. I just started shootings black and white. Love your content. Thank you.

I really like the way you present your works. Raw!
LOL I’m catching all your old stuff this weekend.
All excellent!!
WOW!! That print looks incredible!!!
Thanks Gary

That’s no printer, it’s a space station.
Ha ha
😂😂
Hahaha
Great stuff as always Nigel! Great tips and wonderful shots! Congrats to Josh! Excellent image!
Thanks Anthony 👍
well done , makes me inspired. Thank you
Absolutely brilliant pictures love this well.done you
Very cool video, Nigel!
Great video and even better photos. Cheers Nigel, keep up the great work.

Thanks for another great video. That Canon Pro-2100 printer ... wowzers!
Valid point with pre planing black and white, but i also tend to be open minded and i try during post processing to make two difference edits one none monochrome and one monochrome and sometimes i prefer the black and white over the colored one.
Thanks for your words and advice!
Wow! great shots
Nigel...this was another great video...you are amazing with what you share !!! THANK YOU!!
Interesting video as usual, but I thought you were going to show us your B&W editing process. I love the way you process your colour photos.
Awesome video, thanks for share a beautiful moments.
That printer is impressive. Great video again.
New Brighton looking its best. I really must get there without my dogs, they just don't understand that they can't be in the foreground of every shot.
The last shot with the person walking across the frame had a fantastic, dramatic sky, well worth your patience.
Nice printer, I need one of those. Might not have won the photo comp but made me smile when I saw my image when you scrolled 😁
Hi..a nice share Nigel. Printer looks amazing. Hope, you share how to prepare an image to be printed/print with your new toy:)
Nigel thank you for this lovely and educational video.

Great video, thanks Nigel, feel really inspired to find a lighthouse and go shoot some B&W.
Awesome! excellent job has been done thanks for sharing have a nice day
As always, good advice, beautiful images and your trademark 'chatting among friends' persona. Many thanks and cheers from DownUnder.
Thanks Rob
Great video, thank you Nigel!
Cool to see an actual shoot before during and after. Thanks. I really liked the photo you printed.
Glad you printed the second one, it's a much better photo. The first one the horizon seems off, too.
That shot at 8:42, wonderful.
Whoa! That's a serious printer and should give the Nikon something to show off on! I agree with the competition winner, that's an excellent storyteller of an image - well done Josh and I hope you didn't get frostbite!
I love my black and white photo walks. Using MFT LUMIX with 15mm and silent shutter and L-Monochrome.
Really great video thank you and a motivational push in black and white for me this year!
Enjoyed the tutorial Nigel!
Very much enjoyed this one! May have to go explore my beaches in black and white, cheers Nigel!
Really good video and great tips as usual Nigel.

New printer, new camper van.... congrats you must have won the lottery recently 😀😀😀
The fruits of hard labor. 💪💪
Thanks - I am working on B&W at the moment so this was really helpful
Looked awesome in B&W...nice printer!
Great work. Great tips! Thanks!
Great video Nigel! I love monochromatic images so much, I just ordered my first ever black and white only camera. Leica Q2 Mono 😃🤩

Nigel...aewsome!!!
House chores can wait. Here's a Nigel video. And I just learned about a camera setting that I want to try: Monochrome.
Yeah!
wicked photographs great video
just found you on youtube. Great stuff. Going to check out your other videos. Cheers from the wild west of Ireland

I can’t seem to find that happy median between too dark and washed out black. I have this problem with color images too.
The Z7 changed my BW outlook. The Graphite profile is awesome!
The shot of Rick walking along the beach with the lighthouse silhouetted against the dark sky in the background was the much stronger shot IMHO.
Yeah - that got thumbnail!
@@NigelDanson That's one reason why I clicked it. :) I see a strong image (photographically speaking) and I click.
Great video and amazing images! Just came across your channel... Congrats to the winner! I love b/w photography! It's actually what I prefer to shoot 90% of the time...As you said.

I think, that back sound song, make your video feels diference.. I like it.. Great tutor...
How lucky are you, the Canon Pro2000, gunner need a way bigger office soon. Next year the 6000 perhaps ?
Thanks for sharing your work Nigel.
Thanks Nigel! Love your work mate! That printer looks amazing too, have you been happy with it? Keen to hear your thoughts after a few months usage
The birds make the photo imo :). Nice work
What's the awesome background music. The particular song name
Great video Nigel - really live the atmospheric perspective photos a lot - nicely done in B&W.
Amazing photography journey love the moments captured in black & white very powerful & moving skills & love how you discuss the concept of the shoots & put the camera settings on the video so the viewer could try them same camera settings when shooting long exposure shots at the beach

Beautiful shots Nigel I just love them comps, Wowzers that printer looks like the real deal lol 😂
Thanks, this is a great creativity exercise.
Morning... inspiration:) ty..have a fantastic week!

Hi. Great video!!! Where are u focusing, or are u set to infinity? Also, are u shooting manual? Best William
Here’s a hint that can help with stabilizing your camera on a tripod. Hook sand bag to the center column. You can also stick the legs of the tripod deep into the sand for more stability.
I thought you were going to give us a piano lesson for a moment there Nigel. Excellent video as always really like the image you printed.
Great video Nigel,have you sold the family jewels for the ink cartridges yet.
I like B&W photography, started of with my fathers 35 mm Ilford Sportsman..although I feel a used MF kit over a new FF digital camera may be on its way.
Well done Josh, a good atmospheric photo.
Gist: set your mirror-less camera to create the JPEG in monochrome and you will be able to preview the image in the viewfinder in black & white.
Is it the same result if I shot color and convert them to B+W in Nikon's Capture NX-D?
Martha learns a new way to use NX-D ...
Yep!
Great images Nigel and that printer will raise your work another notch. Look forward to seeing your Pano prints in due course
My question is, when shooting B&W film such as plus x, tri x etc. you can use red, yellow etc filters to alter the effect. Can you do that with a digital camera? Or photo shop?
can you please share the nikon d750 settings for such lovely B & W pics....Thanks
So well done Nigel. Interested in the benefits of that printer too.
I can see why you had to move your studio out of the office now, that printer is huge 😮. I also see you’re getting pointless ‘first’ comments now 😂clearly the sign of RUclips success🤣
Well done again Friend......
That is one Hell of a printer
