- I use this simple trick when trying to find the best composition with a wide angle lens. I am back in the stunning Lake District and also get some conditions I really didn't expect.

That was a gorgeous shot! The light and simple composition were beautiful!
Cheers Mads
"nothing better than being in the mountains on your own" Couldn't agree more
I watched this twice. What is the trick? I seemed to have missed it. Nice photos!
Around ensuring that you look through screen and move around before placing tripod...
I agree. I guess Nigel needs to smack me in the head and say, “I am about to tell you a simple trick that will improve your wide-angle landscapes.“ And then he needs to say, “remember, that was a simple trick that will improve your images.“ Thank you, Nigel.
@@NigelDanson But doesn't that apply regardless of the lens you are using?
Thanks for asking. I also thought I missed it..
I thought the trick was going to be "forget the hat, and bounce the light off your head", but then he put the hat back on...
One thing you forgot to point out in your safety talk, you're wearing a bright coloured jacket.
I see so many people hiking in dark blues and greens that I worry that they would be hard to spot if they needed rescue.
lol, pajama comment cracked me up. Didn't expect that. Love your stuff Nigel. Just noticing this is three years old and just seeing it for the first time. I'm under a year into my photographic journey. My fave post of yours is you sending your images to other experienced photographers for feedback. I really appreciated someone of your calibre putting themselves out there. Very humbling.
Thank you !

That comment Nigel .. " nothing better than being in the mountains on your own " is 100 % correct . I have done 213 Wainwrights alone and am only taking my wife on the final one to celebrate ( and take photo !!! )
Ha ha
I've always wondered about the whole "pretend to leave the camera behind" thing. Especially while hiking up rugged terrain.... That's true dedication!
The light improved drastically once you had your hat back on Nigel. Just saying haha
I think the wide angle trick here is being there. Thanks for great scenes.
Thanks for sharing the landscape Nigel
Nigel I like your videos about a 1/3 of the way through cause they're so consistently great
I rarely comment on videos but felt I had to after seeing this, my first one of yours. Many of your philosophies (eg foreground interest, composing techniques) are exactly how I look at things. Also the sheer enjoyment of photographing landscapes- being amongst nature, appreciating it and taking it home in beautiful memories- yes there's nothing like it. Great work mate and your own appreciation comes across well- subbed. BTW, Im in Western Australia.
I'm with you - nothing better than being in the mountains on your own. And what fabulous countryside! Cheers from DownUnder.
"I was going to sleep in this morning till like 8 o clock or something" - here's me getting up at 10am on a sunday and thinking that's an early start to the day.
I feel you! :D
Epic light on a morning hike; in a location that stills the heart - such beauty. Thank you for bringing us along and showing us, you, making the best of such a beautiful landscape Nigel.
Another fantastic video, you make blogging look easy with lots of interesting content and your images are just inspiring. Thanks for sharing
Finding your channel is the best part of 2020 for myself. You're a gem. Looking forward to more and more and more and more. Cheers
Thanks so much!
@@NigelDanson Just had a fresh rain here in south Texas (US) and am newly excited to shoot some textures and depths. Cheers again, mate!
Love how open you are as a CZcamsr it’s so refreshing. Joking about how us vloggers have to walk back to the camera, up and down hill 🤣 great video mate
Hopefully will get me fit!
I like your style of photography, very nice scenes. I like taking landscape photos also. Nice music, looks very beautiful there
Forgetting your hat is like forgetting to pack your camera Nigel :D
In Nigel's defense ... he did have 3 hoods on at the same time!
Jeep hat
Bloody hell Nigel.. You are getting very adventurous Mate... Your poor lonely lil' van will miss you if you keep walking up those hills....Looks like a great scenario for photography ... Great to see you out in the hills showing blokes like me just how to do it.. We don't have the scenery that you have in the UK. But in Australia we have to settle for the Ausssie bush scenes.. Stay safe Nigel... Neville..
Beautiful video- thank you. Learning a great deal from you.
Dear Nigel, thank you for your video with good advice and beautiful pictures. What I absolutely miss in your entire video is "our" four-legged friend.
Just wanted to say thanks for all of the work you post here. It has been extremely helpful. I have been a long time watcher, first time commenter. You live the life I wish I could!
Thanks so much!
I was attracted by your headline of "one simple trick" for amazing wide angle photos. After spending 16 minutes on your video, I'm still trying to figure out what that trick was? Was this video mis-titled or something?
I'm slowly going through my "watch later" list and it makes me realize how many landscape photographers use clickbaity titles that are barely discussed in the video. I'm glad I looked at the comment section after a few minutes of watching because I could still not figure out the title of the video. At least now I won't have to go through yet another vlog about tripod, filters, and f-stops...
@ Many CZcams videos have "click baity" titles, but this is one of the most egregious examples. I should've done what you did--read the comments while watching, instead of wasting 16 whole minutes on it.
@@Centauri27 If you're watching solely for one magic trick that will make you a better photographer, then you're doing it wrong. Nigel's videos are full of good information. There's no silver bullet trick to make you better.
@@Wrecksy Nope, not looking for a silver bullet. I watch many photographers across different channels for ideas. Video titles are important to catch your attention. This particular one teased, but did not deliver. If you read the other comments, I'm not the only one who felt this way. However I don't doubt that Nigel's videos have good information!
Print looks fantastic Nigel 👍🏻
Fantastic and inspiring video once again Nigel.
Brilliant scenery Nigel makes me homesick for Scotland and the Lake District.
The first morning shot that you showed took my breath away! Quite honestly, the scene brought tears to my eyes. Thank you for not just teaching us about photography, but also about what makes photography worthwhile. Love it!
Absolutely stunning 👍
Nigel Danson drinking game: drink every time Nigel says 'amazing'. I'm sure we'd all be under the table before the 5 minutes mark :-)
Just jesting. Ama... uh, really great landscape there. Please do keep up your educative yet entertaining videos!
Yeah theres another u tubers every other word is fundamentally ! crazy
Great video as always Nigel, love the thought process that goes into your shots. Learning lots, thank you
Looks cold, great to share the vid, hope all the walking makes you fit, 😉
The vertical shot of the river in the mountain, driving you into the photo, was already cool but the photo that you also printed is really EPIC!
Thanks!
Great VLOG Nigel. Awesome vistas to.
Watch your videos again and again! There is something special in your videos which calms me down! Love to be out in Nature and charge my battery (Not the one of my camera:-)) Greetings from Berchtesgaden...
Stunning .
Nigel, you're an excellent teacher. Thank you
Possibly your best video to date, except for your Faroe Islands series, which were stunning, the woodland images were superb, forgive the indulgence but the two images with the rocks in the foreground were my particular favourites, compositionally faultless, Brilliant, regards.
I love your photography so much Nigel, you are a true inspiration
The adult contemporary music in your videos always makes me chuckle
Great video. I have just purchased the Z7 and was looking for photographers who already use it. That last photograph on your calendar was pretty amazing.
Excellent shots...especially that morning...what a treat! Great video - all the best!
The mountain you mentioned when talking about the calendar is Tryfan not Pen Yr Ole Wen and you were near Ffynnon Lloer. Hope this is helpful Nigel. Love the image.
Now that’s more Nigel Danson of old, in the field slogging to get an image...love it!
Regards
Dazza. 🇬🇧
What a beautiful valley for the photo. The place is stunning. Great work!!! Love it.
Beautiful!
Nigel, your videos made me to visit Scotland ! Had a wonderful trip last year... A mask free trip ! Took some nice videos and photos. Not in par with yours :)
What a wonderful place...
Scotland is an underrated tourist destination... Especially the highlands
I don't think it's underrated by photographers. Scotland looks great whatever the weather, in fact it's possible that you get better photographs in the sort of weather most people think of as 'yuck' than in good weather...and there are not many places you can say that about. :-)
Thank you!
You're so generous, thank you...got to subscribe!
I always wonder about you landscape photographers traveling solo in these remote locations and your safety precautions. So thanks for that tidbit of info.
Hi Nigel, I realize it's almost two years since you produced this video on wide angle lens photography. I really appreciate your efforts and information. You have lots of terrific points and examples. You made me think about how to look at my wide angle lens shots, what perspectives to look at and how to set up the tripod and the rest of the settings for a good photo. I'll watch this at least one more time. Thanks again. 😎 ⭐ 👌 😍
"There is nothing better than being in the mountain on your own" - I could no't agree more :-)
Interesting too to see alternative shots and your own evaluation of them :-)
Love your photography and bacground music. Thankk you for all the great info on photography.
Have seen several of your vlogs, but only just subscribed. Very glad I have now got round to it. I personally got the 'trick' point straight away and sound advice. I use Canon and have just purchased a 17-40mm L lens. I am looking forward to using the widest setting. The morning light was amazing in the last image. Will be interesting to see what post processing you apply as I loved it the way it is. Thanks.
Just gorgeous images. Glad you got our to get them. I enjoy your love for photography and nature!
"I've still got my pyjamas on aswel" 😂Brilliant! 👍
thank you , iv taken photography up again after a few years got myself a 50d , im more interested in typography of Eire , you have helped motivate me alot , great content
if your ever in Dublin , need a local guide id show you a couple of shots you might like .
tks stay safe
Some of those shots look like scenes out of a fantasy movie. Absolutely amazing!
Nice video, thanks. Looks like a beautiful area. Supporting the SF Giants in the U.K.? Love it. Baseball is about to finally start here and it’s about damn time.
The part of this which I found most interesting and helpful was the part where the less good images of the beck were shown with on screen composition notes, and then directly compared to the better composition shots. Thanks for that.
You capture such amazing shots. So glad you share your process. I've learned so much. Thank you
Amazing!
I've been enjoying your videos Nigel. Great stuff!
Brilliant Nigel, absolutely brilliant. What - a - shot. Thank you Sir for working on such a nice channel 🙌
Fantastic video and work as always Nigel, well done!
genuine excitement always makes me smile ear to ear haha
Wow, the way you revealed the light in the valley by the drone .... loved it ...
Amazing video with a great shot ! Love the light and composition !
Love the relaxing style of film making. New sub here!
Lot's of tips out there. Enjoy what you're doing, the best one.
Nigel, beautiful images with amazing light. Loved this video.
Hi, Master Nigel Danson. Thanks for always sharing your knowledge.
Love it love it love it👍👍👍
Beautiful drone work! Amazing location. @10:10 is a portfolio shot! Well done. Really enjoyed this installment. 14 image stack? like a vertical pano?
Just stumbled across your channel. Love your photography and your sheer enthusiasm. Way better than 99% of the YT photo crap out there. I'll be back!
Thank!
Beautiful. Thanks for the tips.
wonderful land, good pictures
The light turned out to be fantastic! Great trip and great photographs 👍🏻
Yes you got several great shots. Despite the weather, you were able to focus (yourself) and compose shots.
Beautiful transition from the Camper Van back to the landscape shot
Thanks 👍🏼
Made my morning , depressed me a bit because I didn't experience it myself but you shared it so well . Happy for you and one of your best vlogs .
Great video & photos. The Lake District is awesome !
That is a beautiful image Nigel. Comparrising 3 differend photo’s in one screne is very good!
What an excellent image in your intro video. What ever lens you are using gave you some awesome separation.
Loverly shot. Light was amazing
Awesome! Love the content. Blend with nice music. English Accent. Made me stay and just starring....
That’s a great photo. Def put it in your portfolio.
Nigel, can you explain the "14 shot stack" you refer to in the video?
Will do
Was trying to work that one out too..thought he said the light was good so was doing it all hand held...Sooo... how can you take 14 hand held shots that will stack..be interested to know..Thanks..
Same.in here....i thought he was saying that is made from 14 photos stiched together...for more rezolution?!? am i wrong?
I'm also interested
I always appreciate the efforts and I really love that Campervan!! Jealous
Cheers Nigel. Just put in an order for your calendar. Appreciate your videos. Tips and tricks are sheer quality, but the video editing and mix of content really makes it worthwhile watching.
Incredible location Nigel - so lucky to have access to these places. Thank you for a great video - always something to learn from you!
Wow, fantastic light!
Great video, good to get an insight into your compositional thoughts
Amazing images! Especially love the last one, I think it definitely is a portfolio image if you ask me.. Stunning!
Ha had to come back and watch this again..I fell asleep the first time...not because I was board. I have been out chasing Comets, Milky Ways, and sunrises for the past couple of days..fuel cell was low lol. Another great one Nigel, I do love how the two mountains on either side frame this capture well done...hoping for the golden ticket 👍❤️
Great presentation Nigel! Well done. I love seeing the places you go and how you go about your process. I continue to watch you even though I'm not a landscape shooter.
The only feedback I could possibly give is on the music - which for me, takes me right out of it. I think I'd rather listen to your ambient on your camera, especially of the gushing stream. Anyway, that's a minor thing although I admit that music is likely needed for a lot of videos and it's never easy selecting the right jam (plus it's time consuming, most of all!).
Glad to see your corner of the world open too. Here in Mumbai, there are still restrictions due to pandemic. Take care and best wishes for your next outing.
Always like seeing the notice that another one of your Sunday vlogs has been added Nigel. I am still pretty much on lock down here in the states so I have to live through you and others on youtube while I'm stuck at home. I think you need to put that image you printed in your portfolio my brother, it's fantastic.
I really like how you work with the light
