Nigel whispering so as to not scare the trees away
BearDog 😂
Lol
he was near the car park and people in camper vans 🤫
I also noticed it, but thought he was scared that the fog would disappear if he talked to loud :-), maybe both who knows!
Haha
You are amazing. I don't know how on earth you see those compositions. True artist, and we are so lucky to be able to view your work like this. Thank you so much for sharing 🙏
Thank you so much 😀
I loved how you sort of whispered in the fog as if nature was still asleep and you dead scared of waking it up... :)
Enjoyed watching you edit your photo, I always seem to slightly oversaturate my images, but more in love with this beautiful natural look...
I like how you refer to it as "we're creating a work of art", Brilliant!
There's just nothing like that fine art paper that makes the photos come alive! :D
Definitely! Canson Platine Fibre rag is my personal favorite...
It is cool to see someone else editing a photo. Really shows your own style. I would have gone in a totally different direction with the RAW
10+ years ago photography was a big hobby of mine. Hobbies can fizzle out and for a long time my camera sat in a cupboard. My interest in hiking and getting the into the great outdoors was reinvigorated during lockdown, and I’m so glad I found your channel Nigel. It’s inspired me to take pictures again and fall back in love with the craft. I live on the foothills of the Dark Peak, so hope to see you out and about one day maybe!
I loved the points where your passion shined through and you couldn't contain your excitement. Brilliant.
Not only are the videos instructive and helpful, the music is always on point, too!
Another 5 am Sunday morning enjoyed here in Florida watching you do your thing. Always a joy and so inspirational. Stay healthy.
I spent this afternoon getting very frustrated whilst trying to print from PS. I gave up and searched on the tube and my trusted online friend Nigel came up with the goods but in LR. Thanks Nigel.
I love seeing how others edit their work too mate. Really enjoyed this, great images at the end and a beautiful print.
Ambient, informative, directed.
The perfect coffee moment for me this morning, thx Nigel!
Beautiful photographs! What's cool is that you can look at the prints and say, "I created that."
📷😎👍
Always love your work Nigel, you've helped me come a long way in the last 2 and a half years and my work is well recognized around my town and state of Alaska. I appreciate you!!
Thanks Nigel - I have taken shots in that location several times but never had those misty conditions. Seeing this has made me inspired to go back The Editing process is always particularly useful to see!
As a beginner, by just watching it, I get inspired and I don't know why. This is worth a sub. Thanks.
Less than 2 minutes in and I'm already smiling at you whispering to the camera... like the conditions were going to change if you spoke more loudly. Haha! Love it...
Hello Nigel, of all the vloggers I watch - and there is many, you are certainly the Master of Printing. The papers that you use are gorgeous with that watercolour texture type paper. I love it! Well done Sir,
This looks straight up like a painting! Great job.
Thank you soo much. You learn new things when you observe the process of others 🙂
Thank you for taking the time and effort to share these videos with us Nigel. So altruistic.
Glad you enjoyed it
Another lovely video Nigel, agree entirely that nothing beats printing out your work, just to feel and see a print is what it is all about, if I could get back all the money I have spent over the years on printers, ink, and paper it would probably buy me several more Z7s but not the enjoyment.
5:29 is the best. Without all the heavy edit on it. Pure simple awesome picture of nature,
Even without signing it definitely has your signature! Very well done!
Thank you, Nigel. Your photos are absolutely beautiful. I appreciate the time you take to produce this CZcams channel to provide us with such useful instruction.
Nigel,
I always look forward to your videos. You do such an outstanding presentation of showing your work and technique. I am glad you stated how important it is to print your work. The finished print completes the photographic process and is an important final step that can be neglected.
Beautiful photo Nigel - and it was great to see your edit workflow - I'd definitely be interested in watching more of these! Thanks, Craig
"That little branch I wouldn't bother about." Ectually it makes the whole picture dynamic! Well done!
Nigel,
Really enjoyed your video on processing and printing. I like the look you achieve with your images.
Hi Nigel, thanks for the’ talk through’, you make it look so easy when making those adjustment’s, still, you’ve been doing it for year’s !! Look forward to seeing some more like this one, thank’s.
Really appreciate all the help and advice you give
Thank you
Lovely video and well explained you are an easily listener thank you very much for your help keep them coming👍
Fabulous video Nigel, thanks for sharing.
This is very helpful, please keep posting videos like this 🙏
The Heather and the trees are really good. The fog really added to the photo. Thanks for the editing instructions in LR.
Very useful Nigel,, thank you! I'd love a video about your time on Harris and Lewis, they are so stunningly beautiful I'd be interested to see the photos etc 👍😁
Wow, those heather pictures.. So beautiful!!
Nigel, thanks for a window into your world! I enjoy the progression from contemplation, to shooting, editing and finally, the finished print. I am faintly new to photography: almost 2 years to date. Just picked up a Pixma Pro 200, after much deliberation and study of its capabilities; pros, cons and reviews. Fog is a rich backdrop and a game changer for mood and texture. I would appreciate more fog in my backyard!
Thanks for all you do, definitely one of the most helpful YT photography channels I've found, and you're truly skilled too!
Nigel, Greg video. Beautiful image. Thanks for sharing. I live in Maine in the USA. Years ago I lived in Derby working with Rolls-Royce. I loved going to the Peak District. This brings back fond memories. Thanks gain. Steve.
Wonderful to see the process from start to finish, thanks Nigel.
Great vlogg as always Nigel, your attitude towards photography is a major influence on my own photography.
Beautiful morning, great shots! Always usefuly see your post work flow. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Really enjoyed this video, Nigel. I'm just beginning my photo printing journey with my new Pro-300 and this video will help me immensely. And your delivery is second to none. Keep up the great work!
I like the videos the most where you are first on location and afterwards show the editing process ...
your pullover looks very cozy! :D
After coming back to this video about "fog" I realized your applying your "creative process" in the field as well - well done Nigel, and thank you for another lesson. (been photographing some old farm countryside landscapes).
King of lightroom editing
Really useful, yes, it is such a good learning experience to listen to you, your thinking and see you work. Great video Nigel, you are the best!
Such a wonderfully atmospheric composition Nigel!
Looks amazing! Wish I could feel that print in my hands.
I live 45 minutes from this location and beautiful place to visit.. nice work Nigel
Hey Nigel! Such a amazing channel, I’ve got a lot of information watching probably all Your videos! I’m a Polish photographer living in Iceland and I’ve started my CZcams channel mostly because of U! 🙏 thank You!
Cool! Good luck with that 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Your print came a lot brighter and washed out
I too thought it lacked contrast, but still an excellent image.
Yes, he removed to much of the blacks.
Thats why it always existed print proof. I would print with a 5:29 stings without all that work editing
Good job, Nigel . Wonderful shot
Very educational, learnt a lot, many thanks
i know exactly where that was shot, its near my house and i love those trees. Great video as always, I definately learn lots from your chanel. Thanks man.
Please do more of this in the future, i am so enjoying the whole process. Thank you
Brilliant work, Nigel! It‘s great to see how you approach editing and compare it to my own method. Learned a lot today 👍
Great video Nigel! Always found you videos very insightful and therapeutic! Thank you :)
Amazing presentation! Thanks
Nice video Nivel. It's a beautiful picture
Paper texture goes very well with this print..I like it👍
You edited this in such a different way than what I would have done and it's truly unique.
Excellent , Thank you Nigel...x
Great Video thank you! The way you explane it is perfekt and good unterstanding a special for those of us english is a foreign language 😁
Your style inspires me
Nice photo mate stunning 👍
Glad to see you got a new San Fran hat!
I know there's a lot of editing skills that you frequently use in this video, but at 10:55, when you add some blue to the shadows I instantly realized and thought "THAAAT is a Nigel's photo!" 😅
It's amazing how some elements bring that perspective.
Anyway, just a good feeling watching this. Amazing work again, thanks!!
Stunning shot Nigel. Great to see your editing workflow too, thanks for sharing! I've always personally struggled with woodland photography but it's something I'm working towards improving, your videos help with the learning curve :)
Amazing video, I just wanted this video for a long time. Thank you Nigel, keep up with the amazing work you do!
I'm liking this before it even starts as a way of bookmarking it for later. Later meaning when I have a computer that will run Photoshop/Lightroom and have the money to make prints. Will Watch in a while! Thanks, Nigel.
Perfect timing! Moving into my student flat very soon and I was looking to print some of my shots to hang in my new place. Superb video as usual Nigel.
Beautiful photo...even better printed. If we don’t have a website to display our photos, we depend on social media sites for others to see or view our captures. I try to print or get printed many of my best photos and display them around , I love the comments or they will say I need this photo. I do get great comments from the social media as well....it makes you feel good. You also see your improvements in your photography by looking at older photos.
Thanks Nigel, just got my Epson P900 and I am amazed at the quality of the prints! I just wish that paper sizes were universal as we deal with inches here in the States and you guys deal with A sizes!
Loved this video Nigel! The shot was incredible and I found the print bit so valuable - I’ve always felt I needed to crop specifically for A2 but even just the small bit of you adjusting to fit boarders has been massively helpful to me - I never liked how the side boarders were different to the top and bottom when I’ve tried fitting a full file to A size but simply adjusting so the top and sides match feels much more aesthetically pleasing! Can’t believe I didn’t think of that 😂 thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing your editing tech.....I have looked at so many of your videos and am inspired....once again, Thnx.
Thank you Nigel as always learnt so much
Thanks Nigel
Always interesting to see other photographers' visualization for the final image. I would have have kept it darker with the fog for an eerie or fantasy type feeling. But, that's what great about creative license. Both approaches have merits. Having said all that, great walkthrough of your process. Love the leaving and coming back. Amazing how much that can help. By the way, do you Softproof when printing?
Respect from Morocco, Nigel!
A very enjoyable video, Nigel!
Great video. I’d love to see a video on how to set up the printer and color profile from scratch…
Nigel
Im a huge fan of your channel its one of the very best in this field and I watch a lot of them .
I love to print my pictures and use Photospeed profiles from Tim !
I use a Sony A7mk111 love portraits indoor with lights and landscape..I just wanted to let you know how much I appreciate what you do and how you deliver the lessons and advise on your channel
Thanks

Wonderful! Thank you, Nigel.
nice session there Nigel. I've been helping cure someone of thinking the histogram needs to touch both sides, this is a good video explaining why. I also do the exposure extremes to see what's there and not... very helpful to know upfront. And thanks for delineating the making of an accurate record shot from creating a piece of art. sometimes the 2 are the same or super close, other times the exposure is just a rough starting point. Some like the record side more than the manipulated result, neither exclusively "photography" defines... Liked how you preserved that tree for its subtle value to the scene.
Very nice edit of your image. Thanks for sharing!
I would like to know how to edit and export a photo and then have it printed by a service. So everything you explained here but not printing it yourself at home and still getting it to look as supposed. Great video though. For every photography related question I have, you got it covered in a video. Amazing what I can learn from you.
Nigel so so very helpful. it’s exactly what I’ve been looking for - hope you do this again. My challenge lately has been too much contrast… Or darks - creating an unpleasant print. Then when I let up on black and contrast then it looks dull. I guess it’s a learning process. I purchased that LED light from fotospeed. Can’t wait to use it. Can not find it in the USA.
Hi Nigel, I hope you and Pebbles are keeping well. I watched your not long after you posted it on CZcams; I think possibly two or three times. I've just watched it again (14th Jan 2023) as I'm starting to have my work printed. You are so right, Nigel, having a print of your own work in your hands, it's a nice feeling. I don't have a printer so I'm using a professional print shop and they are giving me some reasonable results but I have noticed that the print colours and contrasts are a bit off. I remember that you had a print profile set up for you by Fotospeed and I wanted to remind myself of this. I think there is another video you produced, Nigel, that went into more detail about print profiles which I need to find. I have found another professional print shop who also provide ICC codes for their print papers that I can set up in Lightroom Classic so I'm going to give that a go then send a test print to the print shop. All the best.
Sir great information thanks u r great God bless you.
Thanks. I've learned a few tricks from that.
Lovely images Nigel.
Hi Nigel ! Wonderful and useful video for me !
Beautiful photo! 😍 📷
Yt won't let me like the vid! But very informative thank you!!
Wow, your woodlands (and resultant photographs) are absolutely incredible. The forests near me are a chaotic mess of fallen trees, branches, shrubs, stumps, and leaves. I'm determined to find something resembling this here in the PNW!
Hi Nigel, have you callibrated your screen so that what you see on your screen is exectly what comes out of the printer?
And do you shoot in sRGB, RGB or proPhotoRGB?
Thx in advance :)
same question from me too.
I would also like to know how you set the screen brightness for printing
I was wondering about that as well :)
When I print, my prints always come out darker than expected, so I tend to slide the "Print Adjustment Brightness" slider of Lightrooms Print module up to +10/+12. I didn't see you do anything similar? That print looks great though Nigel!
You can't always make a screen and a printer produce exactly the same thing, sadly.
What surprised me though is that the print looked lighter than what was on screen!
A printer prints what it is told to, but a screen can be adjusted to be brighter or darker.
If you make your screen too bright, then dark images look brighter on screen, but the printer still knows they are dark!
Gregory Standaert I use an i1Display Pro, and if I leave my monitor brightness all the way up, it calibrates the brightness of the monitor too. I calibrate and edit in the dark, too, to eliminate ambient light. I have to do a black point compensation with each paper type, but I always get results identical to what I see on the screen. There's not really any margin of error if you know what you're doing with calibration, both the monitor and also custom camera and lens color profiles done with a ColorChecker. I use Lumariver software for my ColorChecker profiles.
Love to hear you speak
Great..love your work. You should be making videos like this.
