  • In this video I take my Nikon Z7 II with an f4 24-70 lens out on a landscape photography shoot. My wife had kicked me out of the house, so I had no plans of where to go or what to shoot. Unfortunately, the weather was not on my side with heavy rain and ferocious wind.

    JMO, but I consider this to be one of your most successful photography adventures in some time. You need to thank your wife for "kicking you out". I was surprised at the quality you were able to capture in the conditions you were in. Congratulations, Thomas. Well done.

      Thanks, Clifton. I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this one and I'll pass your compliments to my wife 🙂

    I really like the stormy photos, it's so different from the every day weather that it looks surreal and untouchable.

    At some point I thought you would just fly away - never to be seen again.

    As the great @Simon Booth quoted in his recent video on the Orkneys: "Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, it is about learning to dance with the rain. " So keep on dancing, Thomas!

    A great set of images, especially the lone tree on the hillside. I am constantly impressed by your ability to produce such high quality photographs in the most unpromising and arduous conditions. It is an inspiration to get out and shoot when conditions are less than "perfect", no excuses.

    • @ThomasHeatonPhoto
      @ThomasHeatonPhoto  Год назад +8

      I agree about the 'no excuses', because more often than not, there's at least something to shoot or at least experiment with.

  • @macronencer
    @macronencer Год назад +9

    Right from the first shot, I knew this was going to be "classic Heaton", and I was not disappointed! I do love your sense of humour, and you made a great success of the trip despite the conditions. I loved the early shot of the waterfall behind the lone tree - it's amazing how well you managed in the wind.

  • @pitres71

    Thomas, how about your comparison between the F4.0 and the F2.8. I’m curious.

  • @owenfetherston6906
    @owenfetherston6906 Год назад +1

    Good times in bad weather! Some of my favorite days out have been in conditions like this so I'm happy to see you out there enjoying it. That image with the green hillsides illuminated by the rays of sun is my favorite from the shoot, I love it!

  • @brianmckeever5280
    @brianmckeever5280 Год назад +1

    Really enjoyable, thank you Ms. Heaton! I kept thinking you needed Gavin as a wind break, but that would be rude. The last image of the single tree is terrific. More please.

  • @LisaFrostPhoto

  • @raycarter4030
    @raycarter4030 Год назад +1

    that first tree shot alone made the whole exercise worthwhile i reckon. And the final few at the end were superb, minis the close up of the grass and water.

  • @kevins8575
    @kevins8575 Год назад +1

    What a wild day! I particularly liked the "intentional subject movement " of the bare tree and the last image of the lone tree on the ridge.

  • @Ruscombephotos
    @Ruscombephotos Год назад +1

    I agree, that one with the little tree on the edge and the light in the valley behind is fantastic! Well done for really braving the elements in this one and doing so without incident. Driving the van in those conditions can’t be easy, apart from anything else.

    I thought i'd hate that first image but in fact it's pretty awesome, if you compared that to a real macro shot of a major blood vessel it's almost identical.

  • @calvinwon5113
    @calvinwon5113 Год назад +2

    The lesson from this video really hits home for me. So often, I find myself hardly ever getting to choose when I can go out for a shoot. There are so many days with perfect conditions, but I'm busy at work. And when I CAN shoot, the conditions are terrible. So I guess what I'm taking away from this video is that a shoot is meant to convey the feeling of being at the location, including whatever conditions might be present. There should always be a way to use the current conditions to your advantage. Strong winds and dark, stormy conditions can make quite powerful images, as you've demonstrated. By the way, the image with the grass next to the water was absolutely genius! The shape of the grass and the ripples on the water make it very obvious that it was windy.

  • @drew2757

    I think it was worth it shooting in this kind of wild weather
    Please do more videos like this
    Just go out even if there is a storm and show us the beauty of Mother Nature when it’s wild like this
    And I have to say that Nikon is such a beautiful brand
    You inspired me to go out
    And shoot even though I do have a none weather sealed Nikon
    The D70S with old 70-300 mm
    Give it a try these old Nikon cameras are wonderful
    The CCD sensor has its own magical vibe …

  • @nelehoremans2546
    @nelehoremans2546 Год назад +1

    Next time your wife decides to kick you out of the house for the night, maybe ask her to check the weather forecast first ;-), but I do love the images especially the ones with the long lens shot in the end. The small patches of sunlight put emphasis on the drama of the conditions! I guess we will have to wait for a calmer video to get your thoughts on the f4 lens 🙂

  • @johnround8311

  • @yalborap
    @yalborap Год назад +1

    Wonderful work as always. The image at 14:47, of the windswept grass against the water, is *striking*. It feels almost... 'painterly' is the obvious word, but it more reminds me of the *pictorialists*, of hand-brushing emulsion onto a canvas with fat, ragged brushstrokes. A bit abstracted, a bit separated from the world, yet undeniably *real*. It might not be the traditional one to gravitate towards, but something about it just grabbed me.

  • @Indrakusuma_a
    @Indrakusuma_a Год назад +4

    Love the light of 14:39 and your textbook minimalism at 14:46. It's incredible how you still managed to capture such gorgeous images while trying not to get blown away by such ferocious wind. It's astonishing your recording camera was still able to stand still the whole time ;D

    The 2nd shot with the 2 trees and the waterfall in the background was the best for me. I can see a better difference between your digital work and film photography, digital is far more pleasing to view. You're more creative with digital. Bet it was nice having a hot coffee after that windy walking?

  • @alangauld6079
    @alangauld6079 Год назад +1

    I love being out in windy weather but shooting in it is another matter. As to the f4 lens, I'm a firm fan of the Olympus f4 Pro series. They are cheaper, smaller and lighter than the f2.8 trio and if the light is so bad I need more than f4 then 1 extra stop won't help, I'll need to dig out my f1.4 primes! I loved the shot of the zig-zag wall BTW.
