Of all the woodland photography CZcams films I have seen over the past few years, this is probably the only one you need to watch - well planned with a tight structure, making the points economically without extraneous content and with good examples of photographs to reinforce the message. Much better to inspire people to go out and visit woodlands with their camera than many of the over long and aimless wandering I see in some other similar subject content - excellent stuff Nigel.
Good comment
very nice comment, fully support it!
Thanks Trevor - really appreciate that
I think I've hit the jackpot with this video, Cannock chase is my local woods, I was walking around yesterday looking for compositions and thinking what would nigel danson look for, and now I've come across this video Wow incredible thankyou so much
I've just started photography about 2 months ago and I've just been learning so much from all your videos, Nigel. I watch one or two every morning with my coffee. Your content I find is very informative and just really relaxing and cozy to watch at the same time. Your contentment and passion for your life really shines through and I think that makes a great basis for teaching. Thanks for your work, mate :D
Thanks so much
I get that same feeling from his videos, he's so calm (unlike me) and I feel that I am just listening to an experienced friend talking about photography. I've learned a lot from Nigel's videos, and he always inspires me to get out and look for a photo opportunity.
Few photographers manage to completely take my breath away as you do with your woodland photography, over and over. Thank you for sharing these tips in this video!
Thanks so much - I really appreciate that
I find woodland photography really difficult. I think that's because there's rarely an obvious subject to focus on, you have to look for really subtle aspects in the landscape. I often find most things look 'boring' on location, but when isolated, framed and post-processed, you can make simple images look nice. Great video!
You're really inspiring to me, I just lost my mom who was my best friend and it really put me in a dark place, I haven't touched my camera since it happened due to depression. I came your across your channel and have been binge watching it! You make me really excited to get back out there😊😊 thank you so much!
Oh I am green with envy. Devon doesn't have any woodlands like that I have found. Plenty of Ivy on the trees & woodland floor with stinging nettles and brambles. Yes I have Wistmans wood but that is so very different. Fog never seems to turn up on a weekend, very inconsiderate. I will continue my search. I love the photo with the Oak, mist at 13.56 is spectacular.
Great video, love the tips and the amazing photos. Live shooting into the sun 👍👍 also like the idea of going back to the same area several times to see different composition ideas, tendencies here seems to always pursue new places. Thx for sharing
I'm always disappointed with autumn as I know there's so much photography to be done but I always struggle to make good images. Thanks for these tips, they should make a difference for me 🤞🏻
Como on pal, just trying is good enough. Where I live we don-t even have a proper autumn haha.
Really well designed in-field examples, especially showing how simple camera movements can drastically change a composition.
Nigel's tutorials are like accompanying him on one of his "journeys." The addition of his lovely music choices as well as his very soothing voice, reinforces the peaceful elements he brings to his compositions. After watching, I feel deeply renewed and calm. AND much more knowledgeable about photographing and editing woodlands.
This video is the most structered and inspiring video to go out and improve woodland photography. Fantastic and thanks for sharing Nigel!
Thanks so much
A wonderful video. The way you explain things is so clear and accessible. Thank you
You can read it in your eyes, your passion, and also the strength with which you want to convey it to us. I am new to the world of photography but I am really happy to have met you
Thanks
I can't help but imagine the groot tree may say "Ni" and demand shrubbery. Truly an inspiring and motivating video; excellent. Thank you as always.
That was great 😀
Great video. Thanks Nigel. You're a great teacher.
An absolute master of his craft 👏 🙌
Got to thank you for the video from Cannock Chase. I only live about 45 mins. from here but never gave it a thought as i thought it was all open country covered with ferns. Went over yesterday and got some really nice pics. Once again, thanks.
I love woodland but like so many others I really struggle for compositions. But with your help I'm going to keep on trying. Thanks Nigel 👍
Another great video Nigel. I've learnt a lot about woodland photography from this video.
Thanks Nigel......like your matter of fact style.
I really appreciate when you teach on composition, one of the more difficult areas in photography. 👍
Stunning shots n video !!!!! GOD BLESS !!!!
Thanks for sharing this!
My only note: more b-roll of Pebbles romping please :)
You are simply the best! Your videos are extremely helpful. Out in our local woods to practice this morning, using photo stacking in my D850.
I like that you don’t need the whole tree in frame, rather just a part of a tree works well. Heading out tomorrow in the rain/fog. 😊
Nigel, I’m a total beginner but absolutely love your videos. I pick up great little nuggets and you’re such a wonderful teacher and present information so clearly without any fluff. Love your work and thanks for sharing it with us!
Thanks Sarah - appreciate that
Highlights on Pebbles resting in the sun looked great too, not mention Pebbles breath in the light. Have a great week Nigel!
what a lovely place you were in
Thanks for the tips Nigel
Thanks for sharing tips. That wandering in woodland in early morning and breathing in aroma of dirt is also recharging myself energy after weeklong works. With those tips I think I can take some beautiful shots for my favorite camphor trees.
Wow! Groot blew my mind!
I really appreciate that you show your images as nice-sized prints.
Amazing woodland especially the Groot tree ..... never seen such a beautiful tree with so much character .
Thanks for all the tips Nigel !
Excelent video about woodland photography. You are great !
I really enjoy that you show the images as prints during the video, it brings an extra depth
Thanks Chris
Nice take into the woodland. I never thought woodland photography is that beautiful. Thanks sir.
Hello Nigel, I need a slap on the wrist, your woodland photography is just stunning, moody, and interesting, keep them coming mate,
and all the best.
Cet arbre est incroyable!!!!
As has been said many times, this is without doubt the most helpful woodland video Iv seen, great jib Nigel
Well done video and good explanations to help improve your woodland photography
This is very inspiring. The music when photographing the groot - epic.
Gotta say, the image quality is freakin' crystal.
Superb video Nigel , learned a lot watching it . Thx
This is hands down the best video for instruction/guidelines on how to look for a woodland composition ( and can be generalized to other scene types as well). This video is liked and saved to be viewed again and again to reinforce the message! Great work Nigel!!
Thanks so much
Excellent Video Nigel!!!!
Thanks for the video. I live near the New Forest so looking forward to getting out there with my camera and looking at the Forest in a whole new way
Interesting. I go to woodlands at least 2 weekly trips. Will remember his advice. Cool.
Thank you...very, very helpful.... I am an amateur photographer and a hiker who is in the woods pretty much every weekend. Can't wait to use some of what I learned in this video!
I just have to say, Nigel, that you've really created a beautiful and informative video here. I really appreciate your effort in making the cinematic cuts and editing on your presentation of a topic dear to me. I like to think of woodland photography as a "photo safari" as I hunt with an eager eye for the right composition. Im only 5 minutes into your presentation and just had to comment and say "thank you" for this. [Long Island, New York]
Thanks - appreciate that
This is the best woodland instructional video I have seen. Thank you Nigel.
Thanks for your videos Nigel. They’ve inspired me to pick up my camera again and get out and shoot. Awesome morning in a misty, frozen forest this morning. Spectacular. I’ve always found forest photography tricky, but some of your points (not only on this video) have helped.
So inspiring filled with emotions and character..
Thank you, very inspiring.
Great video Nigel...not surprised you have so many subscribers. Congrats !
I love Groot! He even has a nose. What an amazing tree! Thanks for a great video full of excellent tips. The resulting images are beautiful. The deer at the end was the icing on the cake.
Brilliant video Nigel👍
Didn't realise how much i miss Nigel in woodland
EXCELLENT video... I picked up some great tips..THANK YOU!!!
Great work as always thank you
Oh these photos are amazing!Thank u for your tips!Trees are my very favorite thing to capture!
thats a really cool looking forest
Fantastic I learned lots so thank you very much.
I’m where you were 5 years ago. This year I’m trying to develop my eye and skills around woodland photography. You and Simon Baxter provide great inspiration 👍
Good luck!
The English woodland has a completely different character than the forest here near the Rockies. Fascinating!
Nice walk in the woods. Perfect music for Groot! Rock on!
The 5 day deal is a wonderful initiative. The downloads took some time but went very smoothly. I’m learning so much as I work through the material. Great value. Thanks to the whole team and contributors who put this together.
I recently took a woodland photo into the sun with shafts of light coming down through the trees. I think it’s one of my best photos ever. Having watched this video I now understand why it turned out well!
Great to hear!
That is fantastic lesson,thanks.
Fantastic video Nigel. Thank you so much for your effort and tips, I really appreciate it. Oh my gosh, Groot is something else. Definitely a flash back to the tree characters in the 'Lord of the Ring" movies...
Just watched this morning before I head out into the considerable rain we have today out here in the North Sound of Washington State. Great tips and examples, and as always inspirational, thanks Nigel.
Wow that intro drone shot. Spectacular.
Right on my doorstep 👍
Good tips. In a few days, I will be doing a photo shoot in my front yard. Which includes a NASTY mesquite tree with one-inch thorns. Working with -- and around -- that tree will be a challenge.
This very useful application because Autumn just got start
What a nice and peaceful video, an oasis of spirit in this world of turmoil.
Here's an algorithm boosting comment. I love woodlands though I'm not fortunatr to have a Groot., more's the pity. As always, you've given me new ways to view scenes. so thank you.
As always a helpful video with plenty of useful tips, the scenery is beautiful and very enjoyable to watch.
Another example of explaining your process in a way that easy to follow and understand, great video and fantastic advice. Thank you for sharing this.
Very interesting and helpful Nigel 👌
I'm on my out the door to my local woodland - thank you soooooo much Nigel for this inspiration and lesson.
The print you show around 13:35 looks stunningly beautiful. I really enjoy your channel, I love your approach to photography and how you connect with your audience so thank you for taking the time to make these videos!
This is a subject that I find difficult, You make it look easy. I appreciate the perspectives.
I really enjoy watching and learning from your videos. Also love your song picks. The song which started in this video had me sign up for, Epidemic Sound using your link.
Again, thank you.
I really love the woodlands of your's Nigel. Wish I knew where to find something like that accessible
(in my country, close to where i live), but to my knowledge there isn't any of the sort, most pine-trees and fir where I live.
Finally, I have to say that you are a great source of inspiration, thank you for that.
Gorgeous Woodland Photography video, thanks for sharing so many great tips. Groot is fabulous 🌿🌳🤩
Thanks for this, will be referencing it frequently. I have taken thousands of dense woodland photos and there are terribly few I've ended up keeping.
Forgot to add -- planning woodland shots is a great idea. Lighting is so incredibly hit and miss where I live (Canadian west coast) and the amount of i.e. golden hour light available in most forests is often minutes, or not at all. I think I rely far too much on grab shots.
some really great tips in there
Great video Nigel, I for one is finding woodland photography challenging so thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks Nigel, it is so inspiring to listen and see how you work to find the perfect composition. Thank you for sharing, always such good learning. It is so cool to hear on all the details.
Really useful vlog Nigel and well explained, definitely some things to try remember when I'm next out.
Thanks Chris
great video Nigel, so helpful and great tips to simplify the process. thank you for all your great content and work putting these video together.
Amazing video man, love all the detail and work you put into this!
Amazing shots Nigel,thanks for another awe inspiring video.❤️🙏
Please make more of these videos.
Very good instructional vid.
Wonderful as always and loved the enchanted forest image. Thank you Nigel.
What a great video - so helpful for tackling this beautiful but most challenging of genres. Thanks Nigel.
congratulations on 250k..... makes my Sunday morning watching , giving good advice and ideas
Excellent video. I aspire.
Thank you
Appreciate your help
