This is a must watch video for anyone starting their photography journey. I've been snapping away for over 50 years but still pick up a few gems from your output. Top video Ian, great work.
As an experienced landscape photographer I found this video useful and informative. I'm new to Milanote (using it for a couple of weeks now) and I'm learning how to use it, early experience is it's going to be very useful and will replace my scruffy notebook.
Hi Ian, thank you for sharing your 4 Cs method. It's so helpful because it's easy to remember. Unless colour is obvious in the landscape, e.g., heather, bluebells, skies etc., I forget the colour wheel. You can tell I'm a beginner! Love the videos!
I like your focus was on general gear and not specific brands/models and you mentioned that sensor size is a reasonable issue to consider for anyone, it's not full frame or else as each size has technical advantages and disadvantages.
Hi Ian. You mentioned (20.57) that raw files passed to lightroom can be intentionally flat. I shoot Fuji JPEG and RAW and obviously have to select one of their film sims. When the RAW file is passed to Lightroom for mobile on my chromebook I set the import to "as shot"(I presume the full version also has this option). So, what this does is import the RAW file using the film sim I shot using, so if I shot in Velvia the RAW image will be quite vibrant or if shot using Eterna Bleach Bypass it will be quite flat. This means much reduced processing time, usually no more than a few seconds once you get into the swing of it.
Great video Ian and very well explained for anyone starting out in photography. You showed some stunning image's that you have taken. Look forward to the next one.
When you mention camera phones, you should mention that the user set the image settings to Raw, native resolution and not use the electronic crop. I had someone ask to print what should have been an amazing image, but captured in jpeg with an electronic crop ( so the image was 774KB). The bright areas were just unrecoverable and the resolution too low to print regardless of any trick I could try
Interesting you use an APSC. I love my canon 7Dii. I'm told all the time I need a FF mirrorles, but to be honest I don't have much room in my bag, and those FF zoom lenses are huge. I take a 10-18, 18-135, sometimes my 105 macro and sometimes my 55-250. With the exception of the 105 macro they are all small and light fitting in a small bag in a neoprene pouch. I usually don't have room for a tripod but DXO photolab Denoise and or Topaz gets rid of noise satisfactory up to 16,000 ISO. I like to think that my AI Denoise makes up for not having IBIS. Only need a tripod for long exposure. I recently discovered that if I intentionally focus on a landscape and intentionally move my upper body forward incredibly slowly with my finger on continuous autofocus I shake much less than trying to keep still. On a lens with IS such as the canon 18-135 EFS IS I can shoot at 1/10 sec moving moving my body slowly forward. Keeping still 1/35. Let me know if this works for you too. It's made a huge difference to my hand held sharpness.
I always miss one editing software that i think it's superb, and this is darktable. I know that is free software, but i think that it's very powerfull and it can be at least as good as lightroom
You can bracket your photos to help increase your cameras dynamic range and blend the images in post production. Or wait for a more favourable lighting situation 👍
A really thoughtful, informative, organized and well presented video Ian! Great advice and loved your photos you shared as the video progressed. And so impressed with your beautiful England.
First of all, you need to get the proper places. It's not have to be a World Heritage Site, but there has to be a some wow factor. If it's not possible then it's better to focus something else. Like a wildlife photography.
Ian has basically said what I came here to write. If you have nature near you that you are passionate about, it will come through in your photos. It doesn't have to be the Dolomites or Iceland every time.
Hello @ian_worth, what backpack is that? Currently have a cheap one that has good amount of space and compartmetns, but I do wanna get a better one and I am not sure what are considered good brands for it.

Do you have a template you can share? It looks like you spent some time setting one up.
The number one tip is to go outside and shoot instead of spending all day on the couch watching videos about landscape photography like I tend to do 😂
Lol😂
This is a must watch video for anyone starting their photography journey. I've been snapping away for over 50 years but still pick up a few gems from your output. Top video Ian, great work.
Glad it was helpful! 👍
What gems did you find this time?

Great to hear!
Patience is key! Thank you

very nicely done guide, loads to learn from
I purchased an Amazon camera bag, second hand from a camera store, £10, it’s still going strong!

very true, thanks for watching 👍
I always learn something from your videos. Thank you for sharing your expertise!

A video on your recommended best settings and tips for video on your fuji cameras would be helpful... 🙂
Very helpful, particularly the last section on editing. Thank you. Cheers.
Great video Ian and very well explained for anyone starting out in photography.
You showed some stunning image's that you have taken.
Look forward to the next one.
Great advice as always, Ian., and so well explained.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
Ace this mate, value galore 👍🏻
Every Thursday evening is Henry and Ian video time. Just watching your video Henry. I like the leaf.
@@christophermason7735oh class mate, I appreciate the support and I know Ian does too!! Cheers, I was delighted with that leaf shot 😃

Do you ever play with fisheye and landscape? I'm starting to love it 📸
A very good lesson

Another great video!!! What filters do you use?
Thanks for sharing.
Thank you!
Another super video, thank you 🙂
Hi, milinote very super lesson about landscapes..mahesh India.
Great information!

Thanks buddy, great tips 👍
Hello Ian my first visit to your channel very well presented thanking g you for your knowledge… beautiful locations
Uv filter is a must have though, unless you want broken glass 😉 not expensive and does nothing but protection. And lens hood, for protection too.
I always miss one editing software that i think it's superb, and this is darktable. I know that is free software, but i think that it's very powerfull and it can be at least as good as lightroom
I've never tried it, but i've heard its decent 👍
Thank Ian for the time and effort you put into all your content.
Hi nice video can u help trying to take a photo of a landscape with dark and light colours what do l do.
You can bracket your photos to help increase your cameras dynamic range and blend the images in post production. Or wait for a more favourable lighting situation 👍
Had $200 credit from Amazon got Nikon coolpix p510 24-1,000mm digital a 12 yr old camera. Yes bought $15 tripod - selfi stick
To be onnest I take my photos on my phone and I got a Samsung s23 but I'm saving uo for a proper camera but what camera should I get??
Great one Ian, well thought out and presented, thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it 👍
How would my canon R6mark 11 work on landscape photography
The downside of shooting raw for me is too many choices. I can understand that might be an upside for some.
A really thoughtful, informative, organized and well presented video Ian! Great advice and loved your photos you shared as the video progressed. And so impressed with your beautiful England.
Thanks so much 👍
Focus on one thing at a time, bring a checklist of things to do to capture your picture, understand your strengths and opportunities for improvement.
I also follow Henry Turner.
Hi Ian, just a question, what would you consider as the price bracket for a decent lightweight tripod, would you have any recommendations. Cheers
I dont have 22 min. Can you teach me how to master this stuff in 7 min? Thanks!
You missed medium format or if you are insane large format.
I will watch if yo promise me it is not winter weather and woolly hats, its15C in July and i am so cold!
Great video, keep it up and sub from me!!!

I think it depends what resonates with the individual. There's lots of photos to be had in local woodlands or down at our feet, exploration is key 👍

Anything that takes 22 minutes is missing the point
