Nigel Bailey Photography
United Kingdom
Registrace 3. 02. 2016
Thanks for visiting my channel DSLR Life - Nigel Bailey. I have been a keen digital photographer for about since 2004 and had many years of analogue experience before that. My kit is pretty much Nikon throughout and I am mainly into landscapes and events. I have dabbled with some semi-professional work from time to time, including some commercial shoots, fashion and a few weddings.
In 2016 I began a "Wild Camping" video series to record some of my more "adventurous" photography trips. The camping allows me to be in places and at moments that would otherwise not be possible.
I am gradually adding to my online presence, so you can connect in the following places:

Landscape Photography - Three approaches to finding locations
In this landscape photography episode I explore three different approached to finding locations to shoot. Follow me with my Nikon Z Series gear as I visit St Huberts Church in Hampshire and the South Downs Way, sizing up options for compositions.
Night-scapes and PHOTOGRAPHY and LANDSCAPES and SUNSETS are what gets the blood coursing through my veins. If you love landscape photography and wish to find out more about how I turn my favourite locations into images that I treasure, then you're in the right place. I shoot with a Nikon camera and mostly Nikkor / Nikon lenses. I also use the Move Shoot Move star Tracker for crispy clear night skies.

Landscape Photography Locations - Should You Share Them?

Sony RX10iv v Nikon Z series w/24-200 - tough decision

During a dawn visit to West bay in Dorset I agonise over the choice of a do-it-all camera for an upcoming trip to the USA. I need compact and versatile, but I have to count the pennies and get best value long term. Should I go back to the Sony RX10iv (the hands-down best bridge-super-zoom there is) or should I spend the money on improving my Nikon gear? Spoiler alert - Sony fans may not agree w...

Sunset and night-time visit to Knowlton Church for photography shoot. In February 2024 I visited Knowlton Church in Dorset where I intended to shoot the sunset and the night sky as the constellation of Orion rose behind it.

Autumn Woodland how was the Nikon Z 6ii and 24-200mm first try out?
Very nice info Nigel master at work!
How do you let it focus on a starry sky on a moonless night? I am unable to. Tried the focus magnifier including yellow peaking color. It simply does not show peaking color on stars. If I focus it on infinity it is still unsharp.
Tighten it up man, 90% of this video is not related to the audio.
Ah yes - the joys of old content. A lot of water has passed under the audio bridge in the last five years😉
Really appreciate this tutorial, but I just don't know Photoshop enough to understand what's going on, I'm a Lightroom 100% process guy, but would love to learn PS, just don't have the time or need unless I do night sky images, focus stacks etc. I think I could do focus stacks in PS since it is a much easier process.
Nice Tutorial Nigel. Unfortunately unable to follow This As I Run Affinity Photo,Need To Find Someone With Affinity To Go Through Same Procedures
Thanks for watching. Hopefully, some of the principles may still apply. Best, Nigel
I saw something you did not comment on, perhaps because it is obvious, but here goes: I thought the Landscape shot taken with the Sony left me wanting more detail. For the long reach yes, for friends & family yes; star shots no, landscapes no -- w/o the fancy stacking. I'd like to see a sunlit stacked landscape shot; I wonder if that might look better? Just FYI.
Thanks, looking forward to the next video.
Not watched yet!! just spotted the title!! Excellent, been looking forward too this one!!
Hope you enjoy. There’s a follow-up one next week for the more advanced options.
Nice video Nigel,looking forward to seeing the follow on
Thanks Chris - the follow-on is all teed up for next week…
Some of the best bluebell images I've seen this year, you were fortunate.
Hi Nigel, you may want to check out the new viltrox 16mm 1.8 autofocus lens. It is priced very reasonably, it has AF and works quite decently for astro.
Thank you for the video Nigel, great job as always..I find your vlogs relaxing, inclusive and easy to watch..The Bluebell wood that I have used in the past is West Woods just outside Marlborough in Wiltshire..you can get a very nice display of Bluebells here with quite a clear foreground if you look around..Also close by is the mighty Savernake Forest with all its mighty named Oaks..although not renowned for its bluebells..I now live up in the north east so have had to find new woods to photograph. Up here the bluebell season was at least 2 to 3 weeks later than down south, they only reached there peak really in the 1st week of May up here..
Thanks for the encouraging words - it’s really appreciated. I hope you have a great bluebell season!
Great Camera. What's your idea about it in 2024?
I did some recent research on it as I wanted something to take on a family holiday. I wish Sony would update it, but that’s not going to happen. Even so, having tried the Panasonic equivalent, the Sony beasts it by a country mile. The Nikon P series are just enormous. If I was going to buy an all-in-one, I’d still go for the Sony.
@@NigelBaileyPhotographyFor nature photography I need a superzoom camera. There are some models of Lumix too.fz2500 ,fz1000 and fz300.
@@knight6229 I tried out the FZ 2500 and the lens was horribly soft.
@@NigelBaileyPhotography 👌
There is also another reason and that is, a number of 'CZcams Professionals', have large ego's(and to a point narsisistic) and have formed cliques, and for that reason want to keep certtain things/places to themselves. I've even heard of phototographers complaining that someone else has 'stolen their shot/composition/piece of ground in a national park, which is ridiculous. Just discovered your channel, It's always good to find other photographers and look forward to exploring your more.
Many thanks for your contribution on this point. I hadn’t really thought about the clique, but there may well be an element of that. Even so, there is a great deal that I have learned from other photographers online and I am grateful for that.
Nice video 👍
Nice website with great photos. Just one point when I was looking on my phone it seems like the “View Gallery” tabs refer to the photos below when they were for the ones above. It’s probably just me being an idiot but good job anyway 🙂👍😊
Great content 👍
Thanks for the visit
amazing view🎉
what a beautiful video! thanks for sharing your journey!
Thank you so much!
lovely shots
Beautiful shots Nigel! Thnx!
Glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching.
I have been using both Nikon z7 and Sony a7r3 for landscape photography for a long time. From my personal experience, overall Nikon is more suitable for landscape photography than Sony.
Thanks for watching and for your comment. I haven't used the A7r3.Generally, I found the Sony menu system quite hard to navigate compared with the Nikon. Nikon always feels a bit like "coming home" somehow. I just know where everything is.
@@NigelBaileyPhotography Yes, Nikon is more suitable for photographers to operate. After I switched from DSLR to mirrorless, I became very accustomed to Nikon's operation. Later, I added Sony's system for third-party lens group selection (Tamron & Sigma). The operability is still second. , on the contrary, after long-term use and comparison, I feel that the Nikon system is better at capturing light and color in the Raw format for shooting landscapes, and has greater flexibility in post-processing.
@@NigelBaileyPhotography Many of my favorite photos are from Nikon Z7 + ETZ21Pro Adaper + Sony 16-35mm GM ii
Thanks for the headsup! gained clarity about the product!
Happy to help!

Excellent! It's good to see that something I made a few years back is still helping folk. These days I shoot with a Nikon Z7ii, but I still think that the D800 was the camera that I enjoyed using the most and had the best colour science.
Beautiful shots Nigel!. Always a plaisure to see your video's..

Para vía láctea y demás, Nikon D850 y Nikon 20mm F1.8, composición perfecta para vía láctea.
Thank you for your comment. IT’s now some years later and I am now using a Nikon Z6ii with a Nikon 20mm f1.8 and also a Laowa 15mm f2.0. The Laowa is so good and has become my main partner with the Z6ii.
I think that you need, a specialised gear for night photography and an all round gear for hiking and or travel. There is no magical one fits all solution.Thx for the video.
Yes, indeed. Since posting this video three years back, I have reinvested in Nikon gear and now use a Z6ii for Astro Landscapes and a Z7ii for other landscapes with a range of Nikon and Laowa lenses.
Great video Nigel what remote are you using? Thank you
Sadly, as this video was made quite a while back, I'm afraid that I can't be sure, but it will have been a generic one off Amazon. Thanks for watching.
