Your evolution is apparent in this video, from the morning scene with gorgeous warm light to your more abstract favourite. Reading your book, I'm tempted to say that Gobi has left an indelible mark! At my level, I seem to be moving in that direction too.
Lovely video Alister! I know the low latitudes, 26 degrees here. No time for fooling around. Lol. That rocky shore looks beautiful. Thanks for the video and hope you’re having a blast!! 👍🎉
Haha, shot that beach with a group clients two weeks ago. I love that place for its stable and predictable weather conditions. Cool to see you working the scene!
Great stuff, Alister! Extraordinarily beautiful shots, even if considering your high level. I like the abstract ones of the rocks mostly. No more words concerning your attitude - I totally agree with you. Thank you ever so much, looking forward to next sunday.
Nice photos and inciteful info about the geology of the area you are photographing. I know you have a international financial background but it sounds like you know some geology. I find that really interesting and entertaining how you present this scientific info along with the artistic creative thinking you express about the scene. Really unique. Thank you so much. James Sutton, a fellow Scotsman, is considered the "Father of Modern Geology". Love your channel and your pics.
Alister, your 65x24 tele shot at 12:15 is stunning! It's also my favorite. Also, do you mind telling us what L-bracket you're using with the 100S, and do you recommend it? Thanks.
Alister, you have captured three outstanding images in this video (from 13.35 to 17.00) - all beautifully crafted and visualised. I just love this sort of photography. And yes, there was a very important message here which I think a lot of landscape photographers don't seem to get. The camera doesn't see the world exactly as we see it . The images we capture on camera will always be an abstraction of the thing we are trying to photograph (however slight that abstraction might be) and we can use this to our advantage to create interesting images as you have done here to give us more of an artist's impression rather than an eye witness account of the scene photographed.
Luminosity is how bright things are, or how light or dark you make a final photo. Contrast can be tonal, (lights to darks) or colours (cool to warm) or textures ( detail to atmosphere) it’s a big subject and I’ve written three books on it already ❤️
I'm kinda waiting for the day where we can pair our Apple AR glasses with our cameras and selectively edit the minute little settings and color filters before we even take the shot 🕶📷
@@Alister_Benn Have a wonderful day in the woods - and say Hi to Mr Gibbs if you run across him. It's a good day to be on the island (nothing but clear skies and 30C weather in the BC interior this week - I sincerely hope you guys have more interesting weather than that!) Ta for now👋
I really love your panoramic ratio images Alister, they are so unique and inspirational.
Thanks so much I love them too ❤️
I have a whole new level of respect knowing you watched Red Dwarf. ❤
Haha, loved it.
An inspiring video Alister, I am in Italy next week and the 55-210mm is packed. Superb.

Just beautiful this amazing rock formations mixed together with the ocean, enjoyed this video a lot Alister!!
such welcome and inspiring work. Thanks for your sensitivity and more....
Thank you so much, I really appreciate your kind feedback
Very interesting as usual Alister. I really like the way you created them shots
Thanks man
Nice work! Great to see you enjoyed your trip down here to Tenerife. If you get here again I'd be happy to show you a few more coastal gems!
Many thanks, I’m sure we only scratched the surface
@@Alister_Benn Ha Ha! Indeed I'm still scratching after 20+ years 😁
Lovely video Alister! I know the low latitudes, 26 degrees here. No time for fooling around. Lol.
That rocky shore looks beautiful. Thanks for the video and hope you’re having a blast!! 👍🎉
Thanks Barb. Having a great time here. Fabulous group : Adam and I having a blast ❤️
Looking forward to meeting you in the SW corner of Alberta in the next couple of weeks for the Lightchasers Conference!
Yes, very excited to meet everyone there. Not long now

Ah cool, yeah, it’s really neat,

Thanks so much. My elder brother is a professor in glacial geography and geology, so it’s rubbed off
Never let down by Allister. Keep it up! =)
Appreciate that, thanks so much ❤️
I remember that episode. Lister wore out a certain attachment in a week despite it having a lifetime warranty.
LOL, such a great show, cheesy, but smeggin’ brilliant
I loved the drone footage of the waves, did you not take any stills?
Yeah, a few, but didn’t use them
Alister, your 65x24 tele shot at 12:15 is stunning! It's also my favorite.
Also, do you mind telling us what L-bracket you're using with the 100S, and do you recommend it? Thanks.
Many thanks, I appreciate that. I use an Arca Swiss universal l-bracket and yes, it’s awesome
@@Alister_Benn Thank you! Love your channel and style!

My compositions may just improve if I pay a bit more attention to Allister Bens videos! My favorited image was the one @16:30.
Thanks so much, really appreciate that
Very enjoyable... I am starting to think that photography may be better than life since I am kinda shut in right now😅
I hope you’re wife’s recovering ❤️
She is progressing steadily, thank you…
Nice video, For next time i would not stand on that very first bit if you value your equipment 😉
what's the difference between luminosity and contrast? thank you
Luminosity is how bright things are, or how light or dark you make a final photo. Contrast can be tonal, (lights to darks) or colours (cool to warm) or textures ( detail to atmosphere) it’s a big subject and I’ve written three books on it already ❤️
@@Alister_Benn I see. I understand it better. Thank you very much. I learn a lot from you especially composition. Opens a whole new world for me. ❤️

It’ll come for sure. I’m out in the woods having a better than life experience

Hi, it’s an Arca Swiss C1 cube geared head, no ball
