    " Don't think a good view is a good image ", I love this

  • @marygaudette3209
    @marygaudette3209 Před rokem +1

    Larch trees turning golden in the fall are one of my favorite. I also love the bright reds of blueberry leaves on the barrens in the fall here in Maine.

  • @jammer777
    @jammer777 Před rokem

    I like birch and also the old gnarly oak trees. They have so much unique character.

  • @The58stupot
    @The58stupot Před 3 lety

    Another tip for you all. If there is mist around do take some B+W shots. This time of year everyone gets obsessed with autumn colour so just try something different. Great vid Nigel.

    I totally agree silver birch trees are my favorite as well.

  • @TheWindyBurrow
    @TheWindyBurrow Před 3 lety +5

    Hey Nigel, thank you for these tips. Autumn's beauty can be so overwhelming that we need a reminder to slow down, take the time to find the perfect location/composition.... and most of all enjoy yourself during this magical time of the year 🍂

  • @dannynash5713
    @dannynash5713 Před 3 lety +3

    Aspens are the most beautiful tree for me. The white bark and bright yellow leaves are breathtaking and the silver birches are awesome too! Great video!

    • @barbarajames4933

    So, I've watched a LOT of your channel. And I have to say, I've been on CZcams since forever but never once subscribed to anything. Never once "Liked" anything. I didn't want to engage. I've always just come to YT to learn things, and then gone about my day.
    Your channel is the first one I'm subscribing to. It's fantastic fun, heartfelt, and informative.

      Good for you Cina ...if someone took the time to buy you a present 💝 and you just took it and walked away ..I know you would say Thank you .So for Me a like or subscribe is my way of thanking them for taking the time in making the videos ..have a good day ..x

  • @MrStartrek62
    @MrStartrek62 Před 3 lety +4

    I love willow trees. Especially when the sun is behind them.

  • @jeanpierreguaron9222
    @jeanpierreguaron9222 Před 3 lety +1

    LOL - I do know what you mean, and I envy you - autumn colours are quite fantastic - I grew up with them, but long since left them behind. I now live in sub-tropical climate, with essentially only two seasons and no separate page for either spring or autumn - they are just the shoulder, where the two seasons join, but no particularly wonderful colours, rarely if ever any mist.
    Your photo at 4:50 is outstanding - be proud!
    At 5:50 you do something I urge everyone to do - don't just look in one direction - look all around you, try to "see" - it's amazing what images leap out at you, if you only give this a try. Sunset? - don't just stare west - look north - look south - turn around and look behind you - look up above you - there are images, colours, opportunities, all around us - and so few people "look" or "seee"/

    Hey Nigel, I've been following and liking for years but I've never commented. Gotta say I've appreciated this video! Valuable tips! As a Canadian I can't agree more on the time sensitivity of autumn. One day it can be 20c and the next morning it can be -2 with a foot of snow. Take the shots while you can!

  • @johncookson2546

  • @romiemiller7876
    @romiemiller7876 Před 2 lety

    Take Nigel's word for it. If you have a scene yo want to photograph at maximum Fall color you need to check every day.

  • @fedecolo2010
    @fedecolo2010 Před 3 lety +20

    A tip on the color wheel complementary colors: a primary color complements with the combination of the other two (as blue complements with orange (red + yellow) and yellow complements with purple (red + blue)). Keeping that in mind, you won't have to check the wheel every time you need to remember the rule!

  • @Behindstage
    @Behindstage Před 3 lety +6

    I haven’t been able to travel this year owing to the pandemic and a ear issue but have been able to take pictures like your leaf one, there’s opportunities everywhere you don’t always have to travel, perhaps not being able to travel will make us appreciate when we can.

  • @oilyblog
    @oilyblog Před 3 lety +17

    I struggle with contrast and depth when I shoot trees and forests, useful tips

  • @andrewherbert9938
    @andrewherbert9938 Před 3 lety

    I have to agree , Silver birches are my fave tree , they work well all year round , fresh vibrant greens in the spring and fantastic shapes and purple branches in the winter

  • @simoncordingley3122
    @simoncordingley3122 Před 3 lety +2

    5:25 Yes, silver birch is a favourite. Here in Finland I also like the Scots Pine, especially when they get a bit gnarly near coastal rocky outcrops.

  • @benschrader5797
    @benschrader5797 Před 3 lety +10

    Here in North America, we don’t have Silver Birches. But the Quaking Aspens are, in my mind, just as beautiful to photograph in autumn.

    • @nora25908
      @nora25908 Před 3 lety +4

      Oh but we do have the Paper Birch! They look a lot like Silver Birches.

  • @2DogAle
    @2DogAle Před 3 lety

    I like the idea of not just looking for those sweeping shots and again, simplify your compositions for a visual impact. Thanks for the reminder Nigel.

    I went out this morning after it had rained. I may not have bothered but your comment about the leaves being saturated after the rain stuck in my mind. I wandered around the woods and it was so gorgeous everywhere I looked. I only wish I had more time! Great video 😊

  • @rob9386

    Favorite tree for photography is the aspen. Especially against a background of dark pines.

    I just LOVE oak trees, they are just so beautiful in the autumn and they have so much character in them. I am also a woodworker and oak wood is just amazing for woodworking.

  • @glttheriault
    @glttheriault Před 3 lety

    Great tips with some great photos showing the concepts. I find that autumn is the most distraction time for me because, as you mention, everywhere you look is interesting. It looks like a possible image until you bring it into Lightroom and realize that composition doesn't reflect what your mind was excited about. So, I agree with your tip of slowing down! Thanks for the awesome tips!

  • @margueritemoore9428
    @margueritemoore9428 Před 3 lety

    Terrific video, Nigel. All the points are so relevant for me, especially #7. I have been looking at my library lately and realized that I need to slow down to make sure that I compose my work better. Your explanation of the color wheel is so much more relatable with the visual presentation of complementary colors. Looking forward to next week's video.

    The harvest full moon occurs on 29th September this year (actually in the early hours of the morning of that day). Use a telephoto lens at dusk or early morning to capture its beauty with a natural feature in the foreground.

  • @kasperlarsen577
    @kasperlarsen577 Před 3 lety

    Great video once again! One of the hardest aspects to control, is timing! At least as a hobbyist having the busiest time of year in the normal day job just around late September and all of October. But I do find my chance of success to be best if I go, no matter the conditions. On the tree note, I especially like gnarly oaks although birches has become much more important after taking on photography as a hobby.
