Nigel, thanks for your channel during 2020. In some respects, it was a bummer of a year, but when I view your videos, I realise that time flows on without consideration to any eventualities. You've made the most of 2020 and brought me joy in doing so.
That B-roll at 5:18 is downright one of the most cinematic things I've ever seen on a youtube channel. It's like I'm there. Everything is just breathtaking, actually. Greetings from Portugal.
What a breathtaking video Nigel! It’s very inspiring to experience how you are connected to the area, patiently overthink the possible compositions and finally capturing stunning and peaceful images full of emotions. Chapeau!
GEGENEES was wow factor to me. It seemed to be such a surprise! This is my first year watching your RUclips videos. I don't know if my photographic skills have improved, but you have touched my heart with your love of and sensitivity to the beauty of nature. Thank you, Nigel and God bless you!
Thank you Nigel for this magical tour of such a beautiful Forest. This is like capturing poetry without the words. Such a stunning forest. Enjoyed your tips too.
Beautiful video Nigel. Your episodes always makes me feel emotional but a mix of joy and sadness. I think its a combination of the stunning nature you feature, how you convey it along with the perfectly matched music. It makes me miss travelling alot as i can't go anywhere right now so i look forward to your weekly updates. Thanks for everything you do. Happy New Year to you and your family.
The way you talked about the Guardian reminded me of the Ents from The Lord of the Rings. I appreciate how you shared with us the sometimes-hit-or-miss quality of dealing with the fog and the scenes you want to shoot. As you said, “That’s photography!” In your videos you seem to invite us into the experience of the location while you are coaching us on how to approach the composition. Love these photos! Thank you.
WOW. Nigel. You have just nailed the most SPECTACULAR scenery video of the year. You are a braver man than me, standing on that plateau, still, I guess that Pebbles would rescue you. Oooops. Pebbles is Probably at home. You won’t be happy to leave your location Nigel , it’s MAGNIFICENT. Be safe Mate. Thank you.
Every time I think your videos can't get any better....I decide... "It can't get any better than this (one)!" Wowza, fantastic photos Nigel! I have wanted to go here ever since I first saw photos of those trees place last year. Your photos certainly do it justice. Thanks for the tip to get down low...really low....for some other angles.
That opening sequence 👌 belongs in a movie. Loved the way you transitioned from the woods to the mountains using the fog. And of course the rest was just as fantastic. Thanks Nigel!
Yup. I'm a native who left the island for 14 years but had to finally come back... Fanal is incredible and the hike to get there is amazing. Those centennial trees are called Til (Ocotea foetens). The Guardian shot is so beautiful and made so much sense. All of them. Congrats!
That is a fine usage of your phone @18:00, and you have mentioned the value of using phones in the past. What a wonderful addition for those who can afford one. I cannot. But I can still appreciate it. Tnx for the tip.
My favorite shot is " Standing Proud ". I love the color combination. Simpler, less crowded image puts more focus on the tree. But Hey! Who am I to judge. They are all fantastic shots. The videos are just mesmerizing. Thank you for sharing such beauty with us.
Wow! Wow! Wow! This has to be your best vlog yet. I love the poetic video with the lovely gentle music, never mind the inspiring photography. It also helps to know we are not alone with our frustrations when the weather doesn’t give us what we might have predicted. Thank you. Looking forward to part 2.
Thank you for sharing. It was not easy. I just finished 6-day hiking in Mountain Jade. From magical forest in mysterious mist to breathtaking mountain lake. Great experience. A lot of elevation in short distance in a row but worth the effort. So impressed that you made amazing jobs done. Thank you.
Such a magnificent forest, thanks for taking us with you on this trip! The black and white pictures at the end are amazing. My favourite is the Guardian, a very powerful image.
It is comforting to know a master photographer like you has those issues when shooting woodland. We just spent 2 weeks in the van in Victoria, Australia in the mountains chasing fog, in summer. I had the same issues and could’ve done with this video had we had reliable wifi. Great video Nigel. Thanks.
Just an awesome video this week; can't wait to see next Sunday's. What a joy it's been to have discovered you and your inspirational videos earlier this year when the pandemic got started. As always and I know I speak for many who are your fans, I wish you continued safety and health going into the new year. The best to you in 2021 and let's hope this thing gets behind us all as quickly as possible. Cheers from SWFL, USA.
Brilliant summary to your vlog Nigel where you answered all the questions I would have wanted to ask. The filming with the drone reversing back threw the forest showing all the different compositions as it went was brilliant. (What a choice). My favourite was the last one taken at 14mm. Beautiful.
That was indeed an absolutely beautiful location! Looking forward to going there myself. Until then… I’ll do everything I can to find something better in Denmark 😁👌
Dear Nigel, thank you so much for sharing :). In two days my husband and I are going to madeira and so I started to get my camera gear out after quite some break time and needed quite some tipps to start. when I searched for photography tutorials i gladly found you. Your tips and how you present them are so helpful and mindful. It's a joy to whatch, even more when you're so happy when you found a beautiful place and can't help but to express this :) . After your madeira videos i can't wait to go there. it's looks really stunning there and I hope I can get some good shoots myself.
I think the thanks should go to you, Nigel, for 2020. For the incredible variety of vlogs with stunning drone footage, the landscape photography competition to raise money for a good cause, adapting to lockdown with weekday videos and the 5in5, the inspiration from beautiful locations, and -- always -- taking the time to explain and teach. So thank YOU for 2020, and for bridging into 2021 with the magic you found in Madeira.
Absolutely gorgeous forest. The fog really transformed the scene into something like an ethereal dream. The guardian tree really seemed more of a conductor leading a choral group, reaching out as if brandishing a baton. Wonderful shots. Jealous me!
Hi Nigel. I'm just back from Madeira. WOW!! What a place! Fanal was beyond beautiful. I went twice. The first time was foggy all the way from Funchal where we were staying until around a mile from the forest then it cleared up! I was gutted. It came back in small patches lightly but it was two days later I was met with extremely dense fog. So thick in fact I struggled to find my compositions! So just had to make the most of it and avoid the bulls in my bright red waterproof coat. The locals basically told me the forecasts are very unreliable out there and Madeira just kinda does it's own thing when it wants. Sao Lourenco was another location. The forecast was amazing for sunrise but it was just extreme haze. Still got a shot but it wasn't quite what I had hoped for. Your advise in another of these videos was to keep visiting the locations time and time again and I think that was what was needed but ran out of time in the end. I would love to go again one day. All the best to you. My Pico Aireriro and Fanal pics are now on my insta page with some more to come.
Nigel, I am so glad I found your channel recently. Thank you so much for all the amazing footage and tips you are sharing, it is such a help and motivation!
Nigel you are so inspirational.. love your b&w images in the mist/fog, such drama, thank you for sharing them.. wishing you all you could wish for yourself throughout 2021.
Superb, ta much. I was born in my Nan’s house on Laurel Terrace in Skellow, Doncaster. 54 years later I see what a laurel tree looks like! Excellent production.
Just stunning Nigel - wow! Magical - you almost expect the trees to just up-root and begin moving and speaking to each soul that passes by - only love Nigel.
What an amazing location Nigel, thanks for sharing it and sharing your enthusiasm for it! It was different to see you with black and white photos! Looking forward to hearing more of the B&W project. I wish you, Pebbles and the family an amazing 2021 after this very different and strange COVID dominated year! Hopefully you keep spoiling us on Sundays with your excellent videos.
Incredible and stunning landscape Nigel! Thanks for sharing that experience and definitely one for my own list now! Great shots as well - can’t wait to see what your other ones look like!! 😄
What a great video, Nigel. Madeira is gorgeous and the Fanal forest is mystical. I visited Madeira last February and made some nice photo’s in the very foggy (!) Fanal forest. Beautiful! I am looking forward to the next episodes.
Amazing forest there. I love the way you used the unique shapes of the trees to frame your images. The B&W images at the end were stunning photos. Nice Vlog, I enjoyed it thoroughly
Nigel, I really love how you incorporate your drone footage with your stills... & always your explanations are inspirational -- thank you.... happy New Year
Amazing stuff Nigel. Really emotional as I’m Portuguese and Madeira is one of my favourite places, although never went there specifically for photography. After this I’ll definitely return when I can. Thank you so much.
Very nice cinematic intro and a good choice of music. What an amazing place and so mistic / enchanted forest. Those trees are amazing! Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see next week.
Thanks for this video nigel. My wife is asking to go to madeira for a couple of years and im always thinkijg there is nothing to photograph there. As i used to photograph only wildlife my interest has shifted towards landscapes. This video showed me that madeira is excelent for landscapes! Im going to make my wife realy happy aftet the corona i think! Grt guido
your video skills are for sure getting to another level i'd say. love how you edit videos. the music, the scenes. love it. not to mention your photography skills, as for me you're the best. thanks for everything you shared with us in 2020, i can say for myself i learned a lot. gratefull! take care Nigel!
Happy holidays! Can’t wait to see the next ones. With the current situation, I’ve 3 things to do every Sunday: Zoom my family, watch your new video, and get out to take photos.
Wow, as much as I loved your UK movies this year, this was so refreshing, and beautiful in kind of a different way. It also shows that you're a master of finding strong compositions, which for sure was crafted during all these months of local shooting. Can't wait for part 2, and may the new year bring normality back to you and all of us!
I swear, Nigel, you somehow bring fog & clouds with you wherever you go and I wanna know how! I'm in the west/central Canadian prairie and can generally count on one hand the number of foggy days in a year!
Amazing black and white pictures, they really capture the mood of Fanal and the rest of the island. I especially like the one with the photographer in the background 😁
Your camera and drone work are really exceptional in this video, and love the transition from live to still image. The Guardian tree shot is indeed a stunner!
I always love your videos because your passion and enthusiasm for the artistic process is always so evident throughout, and it is reflected in your work. As a fairly new photographer, I find it really encouraging to see the possibilities of where this passion has the potential to take me on my personal photography journey. I also find it reassuring to see that even at the pro level you still struggle with many of the same dilemmas, and I really enjoy hearing your thought process for how to not only evaluate a scene, but decide when to move on for the chance of getting that perfect scene you hope for elsewhere.
I really enjoyed watching this video! The locations are incredible! My favorite photos are at 5:18, 16:53, 22:25, 22:41, and 22:46! They all turned out AMAZING!
Another beautiful vlog Nigel, thoroughly enjoyed it 😃 I’ve really enjoyed watching your adventures this year, both on your own and with Pebbles 🐶. I hope you and the family have a peaceful Christmas and New Year and I look forward to next year’s adventures 😀 All the best, Neil
Magical and mystical, stunning images. Thanks for sharing in this great video, Nigel. The chosen music added another level, too. Perfect. I felt something spiritual in my emotion, whilst watching this, looking at the fantastic characterful trees and fog... Thank you, in this, the very last weekend of such a different year as this has been, for your consistently great images and interesting videos.
Hi Nigel, what a surprise to see you in my country. I follow you for some time, thanks for everything you teach me. Now I'm whating for a visit in my homeland Azores :) Congratulations
Nigel every week your videos contain great content and visual quality. I don't know how you manage to sustain this high standard? This week I felt you excelled yourself, I am really looking forward to the upcoming Madeira vids. Stunning images so far! Take care.
Great videos from you throughout a difficult year when getting around the country has been very restricted and so much time filled on your RUclips channel. Thanks and fingers crossed for the year ahead.
Watched this a few times now, and it is just impressive, amazing, wonderful; very well done; See you in 2021; and great thanks for taking your time to show us where and how you photograph!!!
Very good stuff, and a very good choice of music around the "Guardian" part. Actually together they made me the impression that they aren.t guardians but Dancers... ;) thanks for sharing these!

Your patience payed off Nigel , love mist and fog for simplifying a busy scene, spend most of my time shooting in bad weather.
"Family Tree" & "Gegenees" were my favs, what a stunning spot! Also, the drone flights through the mist, dreamy...so good!
The Guardian tree shot is really stunning.
That's exactly what I thought, I wanted to write it here and already found your appropriate comment.
@@DennisSiebertPhotography Great minds think alike, right? ;)
:) so good

I absolutely love the "The Guardian" photo. It's so stunning.
You could quite happily spend the rest of your days shooting in a place like that. I look forward to more of your videos in the new year Nigel.
Agree the guardian shot is a standout, lovely video, looking forward to more black and white
Love your child like enthusiasm. Your videos made 2020 a lot more bearable. Many thanks and best wishes for 2021.
Thanks John
What a beautiful shots of this magical place! I love your black and white shots at the end an look forward to see more of them.

Thanks Mads. It is so awesome. Few like I didn’t quite take advantage of it and would love to be there with fog and a bit of sun.
@@NigelDanson you'll have to return when I get there :)
Your recent videos from foggy forest with twisted branches were amazing too! 😀
I hope you also come one day to Madeira.

I audibly gasped at the keyhole shot from the final montage. Stunning stuff 👍
This I one of those videos that I had to watch twice. So enjoyable !! Thanks Nigel.

Absolutely love your videos. You don’t need to be a photography enthusiast to enjoy them as they are just so chilled and informative 👍🏼
Thanks to come to Portugal to photograth amazing Madeira landscapes. There are much more to see. Happy New Year!
Hi Nigel, every video is a very important lesson for me as an amateur photographer. Amazing tips and images. Thank you.
Stunning. If this was a tourism video, then I'm convinced that I need to go there
Beautifil work, beautiful place, beautiful imagery... Thank you!
Wonderful location, amazing pictures!!! Thanks a lot, see u next year!!!
Fantastic vlog Nigel, your forest images are amazing. Looking forwards to part 2 of your Madeira trip.
Man the shot at 18:58 (Gegenees) is a true masterpiece. What a great photographer
wow! those black and white shows are just outstanding really beautiful! thanks for another good video!

Stunning Video Nigel!! The Forest was magical, but the mountains with the clouds down below was equally stunning!!
the best way to start Sunday. having breakfast watching Nigel Danson
So stunning! Thanks for sharing. I love seeing your reactions to the beauty of the places you shoot.
Wow! Wow! Some of your best work yet. I continue to be inspired. Thank you for continuing to produce these amazing stories.
Happy holidays! Can’t wait to see the next ones.
With the current situation, I’ve 3 things to do every Sunday: Zoom my family, watch your new video, and get out to take photos.
Thanks Nigel,
Some awesome photography there... And will make great prints.
Love the new into style too.
Rodger
Whow! Absolute amazing b+w photos - thank you very much Nigel for These beauties!
What great imagery and a great video production Nigel. Take care and keep safe. Here's to a better and brighter light at the end of the 2021 tunnel.
The 4 alpine shots starting at 9:55 were very nice. A remarkable location and a great presentation. Well done Nigel.
This was easily the best video I have seen in 2020!! Thank you for that! Unbelievable images!
Wow, as much as I loved your UK movies this year, this was so refreshing, and beautiful in kind of a different way. It also shows that you're a master of finding strong compositions, which for sure was crafted during all these months of local shooting. Can't wait for part 2, and may the new year bring normality back to you and all of us!
I swear, Nigel, you somehow bring fog & clouds with you wherever you go and I wanna know how! I'm in the west/central Canadian prairie and can generally count on one hand the number of foggy days in a year!
I've been dreaming of visiting Madeira for a while. Now I've one more reason! Thanks Nigel.
You should!
Awsome pictures and really beautiful work.
Amazing black and white pictures, they really capture the mood of Fanal and the rest of the island. I especially like the one with the photographer in the background 😁

Fabulous shots, every one...and a beautifully crafted video too. Excellent work Nigel! Best wishes to you and your family in 2021!
Magical and mystical, stunning images. Thanks for sharing in this great video, Nigel. The chosen music added another level, too.
Perfect.
I felt something spiritual in my emotion, whilst watching this, looking at the fantastic characterful trees and fog...
Thank you, in this, the very last weekend of such a different year as this has been, for your consistently great images and interesting videos.
Those trees are beautiful!
Imagine having such old trees everywhere. Sadly, not many care for trees and only see the profit in them ...
Amazing creativity & patience.. thanks for sharing 🙏🏽
Wow!!! What a surreal place! Stunning!
Hi Nigel, what a surprise to see you in my country. I follow you for some time, thanks for everything you teach me. Now I'm whating for a visit in my homeland Azores :) Congratulations
Very inspiring Nigel. Thanks for taking us up there.
Need to get fit enough to add "go on a forest shoot with Nigel" to my bucket list.
The little "yes" at the start, Nigel dance should be a thing.
Nigel every week your videos contain great content and visual quality. I don't know how you manage to sustain this high standard?
This week I felt you excelled yourself, I am really looking forward to the upcoming Madeira vids. Stunning images so far! Take care.
Thanks Geoff!!!
Great video Nigel. Live your passion for photography and life.
Great videos from you throughout a difficult year when getting around the country has been very restricted and so much time filled on your RUclips channel. Thanks and fingers crossed for the year ahead.
Great photos from the Laurel forest Nigel. I have a Laurel hedge in my garden but I don't think that will work quite as well, even with some mist. :-)
Watched this a few times now, and it is just impressive, amazing, wonderful; very well done; See you in 2021; and great thanks for taking your time to show us where and how you photograph!!!
