The way you walk through your thought process is quite educational.
Thanks Greg. Glad to hear that.
By far this channel and your website is one of the best learning resources out there. Used your first premium content course to set up a workflow structure for my image processing based around your teaching including the use of import presets. Great images Dave and look forward to your video next week and hopefully a Q&A on Sunday 👍
Thanks Scotty. Stuff like this really motivates me to hear. So thank you for taking the time out of your day! Much appreciated.
Dave, you describe and teach camera technique better than anyone else I follow on the internet. Well done!
Thanks so much!
I was missing your videos. Glad you are back! Excellent video as always. Cheers!
Thanks! What do you want to learn about?
Awesome Video would love to see a winter/fall Load out and see how you pack everything.
Good idea! Thanks.
Dave Morrow is like a modern da Vinci both as a photographer and as one of the best educators. If you're into landscape photography don't look further.
Thanks Dave! Your a great teacher, love your video's.
Thanks for your thought clarity as you take us through your photography process. 👏👏
Great video for landscape photography. Keep it up, Dave! Thank you.
Thanks Dave great content. Learned a lot. 👍
Great video and very informative. Keep going Dave,really enjoy your content.
Brilliant video, David. Many thanks. I found this so helpful.
What an education. Thanks for another brilliant video. It is so informative.
Beautiful pictures.
Good video, always enjoy your content
Another great informative video Thanks for sharing your tips and tricks Dave 🍻😎
Thank you!! Great info to try out and I really loved your info about the locations and weather.
Great video full of excellent tips, Dave. I really liked the F11 analysis, the illustrative reminder about shooting to the right, why it's helpful to adjust Kelvin in camera, and how to compensate for the exposure comp flashing by opening up the aperture temporarily. What a ton of information in less than 15 minutes! Thank you.
Really really amazing I like so much congratulations
Brrrrr! Looks frigid and am enjoying your views from a warm home. I like the more frequent videos - thanks for sharing your adventures with your fans!
Probably way colder where you are right now:) haha
Hi Dave. Your vids always get me motivated again. Thank you 😊
Nice! You're welcome.
Excellent!
Your website is the best I have seen and understand after many search's. Thank you so much.
Really glad you like it. Thanks Jeff!
Amazing hike and photography!
Thanks a lot!
I always learn something new from you. I’m so happy you are back!
Thanks Nikki!
Muy buenos consejos!!! like!!
Another great lesson from a master. Thanks so much !!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Well Dave, thank you for a clear educational video. Another thing that I welcomed was that you went straight into the information , unlike some other tutorial presenters , where it begins to sound like an audience with the presenter and how great was he.
Great guide to camera setting techniques, many thanks
Glad you enjoyed it!
Thank you! one of the best "how to" videos I have watched in a while.
Nice! You may enjoy these too: ruclips.net/video/vQDhOWcy6f0/видео.html
Your videos are by far the best instructional videos on photography that I've viewed. Were you hiking in the Olympic National Forest on this one? Thanks again!
You did a great job explaining your process. I learned more in that short video than a dozen lengthy ones from other photographers. Practical, too the point and very easy to understand. I subscribed to your channel and look forward learning more! Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
Glad to hear it. thanks!
That video was extremely informative. Videos such as this makes me think “outside the box “. Thanks so much.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks.
Another great video. Living the dream buddy. I’d love to see how our using your new Z7ll.
Thank you for the amazing channel and teaching! Also sharing the PDF files is absolutely awesome! I learn so much and honestly I am grateful for your sharing your knowledge and shooting techniques.
Glad to hear it. You're welcome!
Well done. Thank you!
Anytime, Frank!
once again very good information, which I learn from even though one has wandered around the mountains for the last 10 years to take landscape photos !
Great to hear it! Thanks.
As always... Just Brilliant Tips Dave! I wish people get to see your premium videos on your Landscape Photography School platform. Perhaps there is nothing like that anywhere.... I just adore you as my Guru. Thanks Dave
Thanks so much! I hope they do too. Really glad you like the school.
Great video Dave. Aside from all the great technical knowledge I get from you videos, they also tell me “Learn Thy Camera and Thy Settings”! I’ll keep working on it! Tks...b
Thanks Bruce! More free learning material here: www.davemorrowphotography.com/2013/01/tutorials-photography-post-processing.html
Hey Dave, Your videos are the real deal. No more need be said.
Thanks Scott! Enjoy the week buddy.
Dave, thanks for your fantastic videos. Sometimes you use spot focus and then centre wait average metering, could you tell me why. Thanks again William.
Hi Dave u r the real deal. even thought i m not a fans of landscape photographer but, i just love the way u explained things. i hope 99.9% will love ur video.
keep it bro.
Thanks brother! I really appreciate that. Have a great week!
Super video again Dave, beautiful area and yes F11 all the way especially on the new Z lenses, super depth and super sharp. The light on your Mountain shots was terrific.
New Z lenses are insanely sharp! Still can't believe it. Way better than the 14-24 even. Thanks Douglas.
Funnily enough I was actually going to put out a video about diffraction limited apertures to answer precisely this question. Maybe I will make it more nerdy than your more adventure based content to create a bit of difference :P
Spoiler, I also shoot at f11, I think its the best compromise.
Also thanks a lot for mentioning my channel, you gave me a little spike of subs!
You should still do one. I'd watch it! Anytime man. Im gonna start doing some podcast style chats, no agenda, on youtube soon. Would love to have you on!
I like the Kelvin advice. I'll give that a try a.s.a.p. Cheers.
Let me know how it goes!
RUclips suggested I watch this video, and so I did. Excellent content, very well articulated thought process and very good presentation. Subscribed
Nice! Great to hear it. Thx. You might enjoy these too! ruclips.net/video/vQDhOWcy6f0/видео.html
Congrats from Yokohama,
I've learned so much in this video. It is perfectly logical once explained. Thank you so much my dear friend ! God bless !
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching Ray:)
Just found your page. Really informative stuff. I've watched so many different photography videos and no one has ever mentioned adjusting the white balance to help with the histogram. Thanks. Subbed to get more knowledge!
Glad to hear it, Chris. All my free learning material here, www.davemorrowphotography.com/2013/01/tutorials-photography-post-processing.html
Dave these are awesome videos and offer so much knowledge. I do have a question, how do you get to the histogram screen on your camera? I have a Nikon D810 also but don't know how you get to that step to verify the setup before shooting. Again thanks for all the videos.
Great information. A lot of it was over my head because I'm just learning. But I think I absorbed some quality info. Did I recognize Mt. Rainier in one of your shots?
Nice view of Liberty Ridge....
Super nice! love it up there in the winter.
This is the vid I needed!! Perfect, and awesome photos
Good to hear it, Alex! What else do you want to learn?
@@DaveMorrow I mainly struggle with finding the right shot and planning a shot. Like when summiting Eldorado, I knew from where the sun was coming from and at what time, but when all the conditions were perfect, I didn't know what shot to take. I took several from different points, but wasn't happy with them...after a long climb up. I also struggle with planning shots. Some of my best photos aren't planned, but getting an idea I think would help out.
@@travelclimb Nice climb! It's hard after a long climb, especially when you can't stay in location for a while. Camping is the best way to solve that issue that I've found. It's more of a time spent in location factor than anything, in my opinion. There are also a bunch of other techniques that I use before the trip to help with that too. I'm creating a complete guide to planning in my online Landscape Photography School right now. It's a fun series of videos to create. Do you have any climbs that you're interested in next?
@@DaveMorrow Solid! I need to spend a few more nights on my trips for sure. Ill be on the lookout for those vids! And I have a ton planned for this summer, but definitely Sahale Peak and Mt Maude/Ice Lakes (failed attempt last year, too early in season).
@@travelclimb bad ass. You should email me. Would be down to discuss some climbing expeditions if you're looking for glacier climbing partners. It's so hard to find people that do that and shoot. Dave@DaveMorrowPhotography.com
This is one of your best videos. I was particularly interested in the demo of f11 vs f16. I’ve often heard/read about this but never seen the practical effect. To what degree is this dependent on your particular lens?
That tip to increase exposure but not to blow it out is extremely helpful. I do the opposite for harsh light, reducing the exposure by one or two stops so I can recover the highlights later, especially when shooting directly into the sun approaching sundown
Yet another great video from the Jedi Master of Landscape photography. Why should I be surprised? Thank you, Dave. Your methodology is easy to understand and you explain it in a manner most anyone can understand. Even me. :
Thanks Mike!
Hi man ! Really thanks for the pdfs, awesome work! I really love this style of life. A warm huge from Bariloche, Argentina!
Pd: i use an old d200 with a 35mm and take really nice colors. I wanna go for one 28mm manual or one tele
Thanks Dave great video. You are very lucky to live in a beautiful part of the world.
I have a question though regarding aperture. I understand that every lense has its sweet spot where the sharpest image can be had. My understanding is that as a rule of thumb, the smaller the aperture the greater the depth of field. So in a situation where you had some close foreground within a few meters and a mountain a few hundred meters away or more, you would want a big depth of field to keep everything sharp front to back.
But when you have a scene, such as the one in the video, where all is at infinity focus why is there a need for a small aperture other than to make sure you get the lenses sweet Spot?
Would it not be more beneficial in some cases to use a wider aperture and a faster shutter speed for example in windy conditions or when shooting hand held to avoid images being blurred by camera shake? I have often gone hiking and travelled light with minimal gear so I end up having to shoot hand held. Or sometimes there are cases when the scene us changing very fast and its not possible to use a tripod for every shot.
Would be interested to hear what you think.
Thanks
Richard
Cool video
Very informative! How long are you gone on your trips? Would it be hard for a family man?
Dave - Appreciate the video. One question though. Why not focus stack at f8 and get the best of both worlds?

Dave, your videos always contain useful content and inspire me to get out into the wilderness. My brother and I will be travelling to the Pacific Northwest in June and are currently planning for some epic backcountry hiking. Curious, was this filmed near Mt Baker or Mt Rainier?
Thanks brother! Baker. That area will be under 3 feet of snow in June, along with many locations in the Cascades. I'm going to open up 3 person photo-backpacking tours this summer. If you're interested, email me & we can discuss the dates you're coming out. I'd pick everyone up and take them out for 4 days on a full expedition. Dave@DaveMorrowPhotography.com No pressure either way.
Nice work 👍
I shoot with f11 too but for my particular lens I found that f8.0 is the sharpest.
Thanks Keith! Nice. Testing on your own is the best way.
Thank you for your videos, Dave! I am learning quite a lot from you. I have a question with which I was hoping you could help. I shoot on an APS-C camera (Canon 80D). I understand that the crop factor (1.6x) applies to the focal length, but am I correct in thinking that it also applies to the aperture? So, for instance, f7.1 on my APS-C camera would be similar to f11 on your full-frame camera. Does that seem correct? If so, I should be shooting at f7.1, instead of f11 in order to avoid diffraction, right? Again, I appreciate you and what you do.
That's great. Thanks for letting me know. Solid question! Will add it to the Sunday Q&A list. Have you read my depth of field guide: www.davemorrowphotography.com/depth-of-field-photography ?
@@DaveMorrow No, I haven't, but I will now. Thank you again!
Really appreciate your videos and the well-honed techniques you share. Also, the 'scapes we wouldn't otherwise get to see - so beautiful. (I live on the west coast of Vancouver Island and look across the strait to the Olympic Peninsula.)
I thought I understood ETTR, but when you changed from f11 to f16, I'm not clear why you wouldn't need to re-push the histo to the right with the exposure comp, so that the f16 setting was 'matched' to the f11 in that respect? Thanks!
Thanks! You live in a great spot. Love it over there:) Here --> ruclips.net/video/zGvhWeSiXeA/видео.html AP mode holds the exposure and changes shutter to match.
@@DaveMorrow Thank you!!! :)
Hi Dave , Do you need to press the shutter release twice in MUP and 3 second timer?
It's called exposure delay mode on the D810. Forget the menu. Google knows. Still two shutter press for release
Did you use split toning for that first mountain shot (@11min) to achieve colour harmony Dave
No. I just use hand painted masks. Never tried split toning before.
Is that Mt Shuksan?
For APSC format which I have, I avoid going beyond f/8 which may be equivalent to f/11 for full frame for same depth of field at equivalent focal length. Also this technique of composing and adjusting the focus at 100% zoom gives much accurate focussing than ordinary autofocus function of any camera.
But this requires more time and patience.🙏
If the shots not in focus, then what's the point? Might take 2 seconds longer once you get used to it:)
One thing that isn't coming through the video, that I've found, is that the ETTR shooting technique speeds up your workflow in field and makes it so that your actually more focused on what is happening with the light instead of faffing with camera settings. Which is very important when the light is changing quickly.
That's a great point! Never really thought of it that way. But makes it way faster!
I still dont' understand what you did with the blinking exposure compensation in liveview.
Hi Dave, is it also possible to use ETTR on manual mode?
Sure, here ya go: ruclips.net/video/NQU4_CzvHLQ/видео.html
Thank you!!!
Thanks (Y) Iam new to the channel but I like your "posture". You have no smart ass attitude like some other "RUclipsrs" ..ALSO.. I do not think you are a real "RUclipsr"...you are MORE.. because you focus on "teaching" if that is the word for it..in fact I think you ESCAPE all the pre-made mcdonalds style fast food photography kind of people. You seem to me above all a very PRACTICAL guy.. and you disclose your way of thinking and dealing with the adversities of Landscape Photography the best way to do it...with suffering and pain..THANK YOU very much for that.!!
ALSO.. I noticed that you read all the posts and reply to most of them..that is amazing, so I just have one advice for you and one only: When your channel grows, and IT WILL grow a lot, because so far most people prefer the "clean" channels of other Photographers (nothing wrong with that, I follow the usual 5 or 6 most viewed channels and they good people also, but investing in their own channel to have more views and to improve their channels, also some of them are now the only income of money)..WELL..IF YOU CAN...NEVER TRADE your precious time of being in the field and also helping US in the comments for spending those hours trying to make your channel more glamorous.. the day it happens you will loose who you are.. God bless you my friend, keep going ;)
Mcdonald's photographers. That's hilarious man!
If you’re shooting with a lens that has a wider aperture, would that mean you would be shooting closer to f/9 instead of f/11?
Hey Eddie. Good question. No. But either way, it won't make a difference:)
I don t understand how by overexposing and then importing into lightroom with -1 gives you more dark details. Can you explain?
Sure: ruclips.net/video/NQU4_CzvHLQ/видео.html if you enjoy the vids a thumbs up would be a huge help!
🤙🤙🤙
@Dave Morrow Thanks for the informative videos. Could you please explain what you did at ruclips.net/video/plzjLBCJzh8/видео.html I have never came across the exposure comp meter blinking. I usually set the aperture and then adjust shutter speed/iso to expose to the right. How do you ensure that exposing to right at higher F stop and then taking pic at lower F stop will expose appropriately? Or may be my camera is just not smart enough to tell me that there isn't enough light to work with to show the correct exposure compensation value? +
How are you able to speak without stammering under such cold?
Dave does this matter from lens to lens? I know they have all those lens sharpness graphs but I didn’t know if this f/16 vs f/11 on a 2.8 vs 4 type lens.
Hey Chris! Good to hear from you buddy. Not enough to matter. Still test it out on yours though. Take an f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22 at same focal point and composition then overlay & compare. Crop factor plays a big roll, but min f/stop value doesn't.
I am you tubed to death on photography over the last year trying to self teach,but I got more out of that one video than I've got from the last 6 months from other photographers.
Hey Bob, that's great. Thank you! I can tell you that this video is nothing compared to what's in my online school. There I teach my entire system for every landscape photography skill. If you're interested, shoot me a line. Dave@DaveMorrowPhotography.com No pressure either way, just letting you know it's available.

Have you tried astrophotography while you’re out in the wild?
Sure, photos --> photos.davemorrowphotography.com/Under-the-Stars Step by step technique, here: www.davemorrowphotography.com/p/tutorial-shooting-night-sky.html
Not every single lens will have same f16 sharpness,some are better some are worse...i shoot all the time with my 16-35 f2.8 ii (Canon) very good contrast and sharpness,almost negligible difference between f11,when using f18 with combination with 20% sharpness its again perfectly fine,its great when you can't focus stack due to the wind etc. conditions.
Nice! Can you email me some comparison files, both of same comp and focus points. It would be cool to use them in a follow up video for different lenses! Dave@DaveMorrowPhotography.com
