Regarding the last photo, where the wind made it difficult to get a sharp long exposure: one way around this problem is to take many shorter exposures (preferably in burst mode) and then combine them in Photoshop using the median or mean stacking algorithms. You need to load all the images as layers, select the layers, convert them to a smart object, and then select the Layer>Smart Objects>Stack Mode>Median (or Mean) from the top menu.
This works perfectly 👍
Mads has already done a video about this technique.
@@martinsarre You are right, but I had not seen it (I only started following Mads a couple of months ago). Here is his video: czcams.com/video/SKKyqs8PjjY/video.html By the way, this technique has been known for quite a while, so I was somewhat surprised that he did not mention it. Now I know. Thanks again.
I would just blend one long exposure shot with a short one and choose what I want sharp and what not...
One of the main reasons I watch your videos is because you are SUCH a happy, optimistic person. It lifts my mood.
I think on this occasion Mads, I preferred the fast shutter speed image at the end as it encapsulates the conditions you were dealing with. Also loved your new print hanging on your wall in your house, what an epic image from your recent trip to the UK. Hope you are also enjoying the snow this morning 🙂
luckily Photography preferences is all up to the individual :) i think both would have their place :)
Lands end is sooo beautiful!! Shot one of my all time favorite images there of a seagull flying above the blue waters. Shot everything in auto mode back then. Makes me wonder how on earth I managed to capture that...
I've been enjoying your work for a while now, Mads. Very nice! And your instruction just adds value. I'm a photographer in the great PNW of Washington state, surrounded by three National Parks, and you're helping me up my game in retirement, so I get some worthy shots of this area. Thanks, again!
Love seeing you visit and photograph Cornwall; despite living here I never get bored of this landscape. That water droplet commentary had me laughing out loud as well!
great shots as usual. Another way to overcome strong wind when you are trying to do a long exposure is to take 10 to 50 quicker exposures and then blend them in PS - you get the same long exposure effect, but with fast shutter sharpness.
Hello Mads. So lovely to see you in the county I grew up in and still live in today. What a fabulous bit of coastline between Sennen and Landsend . Did you see the ship wreck that’s along there? The RMS Mulheil which ran aground in 2003. It’s a Germany cargo ship. More importantly did you photograph it?
Hopefully there’s more videos of Cornwall to come and the cracking photos you took 👍
Great video, epic location and gorgeous photos - thanks for sharing Mads!
They have a saying at Lands End and Sennen. "If you can't see the Scilly Iles it's raining.....If you can see them, it's going to rain" One of my favourite places..
Super video, Mads, that means a lot to me as we’ve spent many weeks over the years staying in a cottage up on the top of the Sennen headland that looks out over Longships and the whole Sennen Cove vista - a truly beautiful place. The Mayon Cliff lookout makes a great Milky Way foreground in the Spring too!
Thank you, a very good illustration of distance and apparent speed. A nice reminder of your video on waterfalls and speed relative to distance a couple of years ago.
Super video. Incredible tips. Where I live, one of my biggest challenges is high winds combined wwith the resulting sea mist. 50 to 100 km/hr winds are not uncommon. With the high winds and tides, we also experience some unique sea surges. The valuable tips you have passed on are greatly appreciated and will assist me with these challenges. Thanks so much.
Another great video, Mads. I really like the photos of the lighthouse.
Another lovely video.. very relaxing and interesting. Thank you, Mads!
Thanks for the video. The coastline of Devon and Cornwall is amazing. In the last photograph, I much prefer the faster shutter speed. I’m not a great fan of flattening out the sea entirely - but that’s a personal preference for me. I liked the last lighthouse image where you had the sea stacks as foreground. For me, the other lighthouse images were too small and distant in the frame.
Another great video,live about 1 hr away from lands end and have succeeded and failed (probably more times than I've been successful)in getting long exposures of longships... Keep up the good work..
Beautiful seascapes! Glad you remembered to bring your camera!
Awesome to see you in my hometown! Nice work as always Mads! 😊
Great Video and a nice recall. I've been there one month ago and ruptured a ligament at Blackchurch Rock. :( I love the region and will return in April next year.
Brilliant location Mads & great results.... interesting comments & very helpful.... thanks for sharing.. cheers from Australia 😀
❤ Lovely location. Thank you very much. 👍
Great tips on shutter speed with reference to birds in the scene at different distances from the camera Mads, I love to see birds in seascape/landscape shots, they always add interest as far as I’m concerned. Advice taken on board, thanks 👍 Lovely shots of Longships Lighthouse by the way 🌊
You could always put the clouds from the long exposure with the shorter exposure and see what that looks like. I loved the leading line you captured with the waves leading to the arch and the crashing wave on the cliff...nicely timed!
Love the Lighthouse photos!
Great images of an epic location. 👍🥂
Thank you for this video again, Mads. Incidentally, if you like Cornwall then you must visit West Wales which is equally and sometimes more spectacular, especially the whole coast between St. David's Head (Whitesands Bay) all the way up to Cwm Tydu in Ceredigion. The coast offers a wealth of wonderful scenery! Regarding the last picture, I find the sea a bit "milky" though there is a case for long exposure but maybe not as long as this.... If you do want it then I would take another fast exposure (but exactly the same amount of light going into the camera) and then blend that for the non-sea bits, and this will also work with woodland flowing water when you don't want the fluttering leaves to blur. Finally I agree with your preference here for the quicker exposure. It has become a bit of a cliché to smooth out water all the time: the argument does seem odd that is generally used which is to cut out the "distraction" of the water surface - are we distracted by what is often the main interest in the scene - water, the character of whose surface is so infinitely variable and expressive.... though having said this I do also enjoy longer exposures with water, though mainly when this suggests motion. Thank you so much for this and all your videos - a lot of work!
SanDisk is an amazing company, lucky you to get sponsored by them !! Epic shots on this outing and nice edits. Cheer's from Vancouver Canada.
Beautiful and relaxing video. 🙏
Some good tips to get sharp photos love the 2nd light house image
Great Video, nice English Weather ☔️ Keep well & Stay safe 👍
This video is pushing me to pull the trigger on purchasing the Sony 100-400mm. The compression is amazing.
Mads it great to see the long ship I will be shooting it with a long lens now.I have seen your only live 20 miles away lol,it great to see you like Cornwall
I think about shutter speed a lot. Like James, I find tripods a pain in the butt and will try to use faster shutter speeds handheld, especially when using my long lens. My style of photography is not to plan for a particular scene. It seems to me that most preplanned shoots rarely work out. Rather, I will just go for a drive or hike and if I see a shot I take it. Many times the scene is fleeting so setting up a tripod may mean losing the shot. If I need one though I'll certainly use it. Another thing is I prefer my photos not to have a person or manmade object in them for the most part. I know they give a sense of scale, however, I think they take away from any perceived sense of remoteness which I like to convey. Obviously there are exceptions. Sometimes they're essential. Lastly, I prefer the version with the faster shutter speed. Best shot in this video. Beautiful image.
Superb and moody photos 👌👍🙂🌊
I wonder if blending the two cliffside exposures would work, presuming you didn't move the camera between setups. Thanks for another interesting video.
Excellent video. Beautiful location I like the fast shutter speed Shot. What tripod do you use?
I think I need to get to Cornwall again.
Last time I went it was a 6 hour drive and it chucked it down. I went to go sea kayaking, before I was into photography about 15 years ago.
I love Lands End, you can get a great sunset shot when the suns light streams through the arch
I want to take a moment and say Happy Holidays and thank you for videos, shared knowledge and entertainment. I wish you and yours happiness and continued success. ~Jennifer Call
My cafe is on the carpark where you were shooting St Michaels Mount. Gutted to of missed you guys, I would of said hello and offered you coffee! Next time
Shutter speed to catch moving water, is personal preference. some like the milky smooth look, others do not
Great content. How much more effective the IBIS on a7R v compared to the previous model please? Is it indeed 8stops?
Damn, the man produces more great landscape images in one day than I do in...all time
👍👍. What did you use for a timer in the shot where you are in the image?
Reminder that the Photoshop course will change your life. I feel guilty for using a discount code because it's THAT good. It's completely changed my editing and I am extremely thankful that this course exists.
Mads would you ever sell presets or Photoshop commands? Just looking at more ways to throw money at ya haha.
Ah, this made me home sick. I am from Cornwall and spent many days climbing looking at the wonderful scenes you captured. Ironically I took no photos!! Doh. But I aim to rectify that in spring when I shall return to my home land and spend 3 or 4 months filling sd cards. Great video, and that last image was Fan bloody tas tic. Is your editing course for beginners or folk that know their way (or at least think they do) around light room?
For the last photo I prefered the short shutter speed, much more dramatic.
Which lens did you use on the last pictures (I use Sony too).
Mads I really loved your photos and tips on how to get the correct shots and I know lenses and in camera stabilization should be switched off when using a tripod but in very windy conditions, is there an exception to the rule.
Thanks, Clive. Yes, in my experience the IS can help out in certain situations even though you're on a tripod. An example could be you need a shutter speed of 1/20s but there's a lot of wind. Here the IS will likely be good to keep the micro vibrations away :)
I like this team, it's good to watch you. Kind of like the Fellowship of the Ring
You three have become the Three Amigos lately. Scouting for 2023 workshops?
It depends on which motion you are trying to freeze - the birds' horizontal motion across the scene, or the motion of the wings flapping. Due to the small arc the wings make, the distance from the camera doesn't matter much, so if you want to freeze the flapping of the wings, you'll need pretty much the same shutter speed regardless of how far away they are. I think.
20:34 I honestly never understanded people that love this type of long exp. with the water & making it like "fog". I may be strange, but.. I like it "natural" , faster (or NORMAL) exposure and sharper image.
20:48- in this case, somehow it is no big difference in preferences at me, but i slightly prefer the blur one (but it is no big difference in me between this two photos).
I love when I see photography CZcamsrs whom I’m a fan of be in Cornwall as this is my home turf. Do you ever arrange workshops or anything like that?
Something where fools like myself can join?
20:00 The long exposure sea is pleasant to view. The best edit would be to: 1. Use the sky from the short exposure, it's lovely. The blurred clouds from the long exposure are nowhere near as compelling as the painter's sky in the short exposure and not they do not lead the eye blah blah in any useful way. 2. rather than a ton of sharpening, just use much of the rock structures from the short exposure in the long exposure, if you would use that picture at all. The short exposure, with the perfect wave crash, is superior.
Another alternative I have never tried but seems like a good experiment here is to stack a large number of short exposures and mask to blend the ocean only. The sea might come out very strange, and potentially very beautiful.
Fantastic pix! I don't care for the long exposure as to me it takes away the wild nature of the setting. BTW if the three of you say "EPIC" one more time I will stroke out! :)
Lovely pics prefer the fast shutter speed as it represents the image we see for me that’s the point not creating something that’s not there
Concerning your lasting scene I would have expected an image with a long exposed sky in combination with a shorter exposure for the foreground (rock and sea).
Do you ever use a stone bag to stabilize the tripod?
I always wonder how you press shutter from distance? Do you use one of built in Bluetooth connection or?
Where all the shots of the lighthouse at 400mm?
I recently got the sigma 100-400 so that could be good to know!
what focal length did you shoot the last photo at?
What camera your shooting with that 400 mm lens shot?
Does anybody ever tried Berlebach wooden tripods in such a windy situation ? Reputation of being very good at vibration dampening. Of course, not exactly the size and weight of travel tripods...
great place to phtograph
Why not use Sony’s Program mode (P) and let the camera calculate the shutter speed? Lens selection, image framing, and aperture is all I want to deal with.
I've had luck hanging a weight and consider shooting through a separate clear windblock on its own tripod.
Maybe blend 2 pictures together? Rocks with high shutter speed, sea with low speed?
The version with the shorter shutter (1/60s) speed works muck better. Is my impression correct that you got away from using f/16 "all time" as you did in your previous videos? Comment appreciated. For my personal taste, most of the light house photos would do better without the light house🤣.
Did that walk from Sennen to Lands End but forgot a torch for the return and it’s a different walk entirely in the dark…….
Why is there so much sky? Are you working in 1/3 or 1/4 of the image?
Anyone know how he got the camera to take the shot when he had to walk down so far away from the camera? There's not a remote that would work from that far away is there?
Probably used the built-in intervalometer or one that plugs into the camera.
If the composition allows it, shortening the legs of the tripod, to reduce the profile, will steady the camera more. You may not get two minutes, but it will be better.
Yes the long exposure worked in the end , much much prefer the faster shutter speed
With all the Wind at the arch scenery (17:30) i just would have stopped using a tripod. Why not shooting handheld, especially with the wide angle lens?!?
It’s like Top Gear for photography
Fast shutter far better . Sometimes , I have had success in high wind is to get yourself steady and with elbow into body, literaly take a firm grip of one of the legs, but also relax if you get what I mean, this seems to take out the mini vibrations in the tripod but you have to make sure you are balanced and take the lateral pressure off your arm to avoid other movement. Hard to explain.
All the numbers and indications on SD cards are getting very messy and confusing, indeed.
V90 is good, fast, but still doesn't tell you everything. The "300MB/s" is read-speed. What's most interesting to me is sustained write speeds, which I did not see for these Sandisk cards. (The fastest cards achieve 299MB/s write speed and even those, I don't know what is the sustained speed for writing larger amounts of data!).
Fast write speeds matters not only when shooting video, but also when shooting in burst mode.
The SSD drive, how fast are read/write speeds on that? I have a very fast SanDisk 2TB which was about the fastest I could find when I bought it earlier in the year and I'm wondering if this model is same or faster.
About the small vibrations in the tripod from the wind - how well can image stabilisation (in lens of in body) help to solve that?
Generally when shooting from a tripod the recommendation is of course to turn off image stabilisation but in windy conditions it might be better to turn it on?
except the last photo, I don't think there is really something cool to do with this weather and landscape, maybe you have just picky :D
Well, this is yet another video on a key subject of photography. Remarkably enough, a video about shutter speed mistakes, does not reveal the shutter speed in the photos ....
Those who want to see an alternative that covers the topic (from the very same location and time) with more depth and less advertising, can have a look on your friend's video: czcams.com/video/9BshFzMx_IQ/video.html. Thanks to Nigel we enjoy a most helpful and instructive alternative on this topic.
1:58, 6:18 if you don't play dramatic mood music with the image, it's a throwaway snapshop. Beware talking up a mediocre image. It's a useful stock. The problem with the lighthouse is that it is not an aesthetically pleasing object, because of the flat superstructure. These pics are not even interesting.
I don’t care for the milky soft water photo. I know it is popular but the water there isn’t stagnant. I think the milky look takes away for the action of the water. But that is just my opinion.
Funny droplets!
STOP making these headline MISTAKES!... now Mads, ask yourself, how did it feel to read that?, did you feel inspired, inclusive, talked to as a fellow professional and passionate photographer? (i øjenhøjde på godt Dansk), because that's the feel you want your audience to feel, right!, not talked down to as if we are imbeciles or people who always makes mistakes... i AM indeed trying reversed psychology with you this time ;), sorry for that.
I enjoy your videos, witty, fun, informative i even learned a thing or two from them :), but the headlines gets to me, they dumb down your message, which is a shame, if you need inspiration check Nigle and Heaton's headlines, they are talking to us, you feel invited on their journey, they are inspiring rather than pointing fingers at, i hope you'll give it some thought, best wishes another Mads from DK :D
You know nothing about attracting viewers.
@@moncorp1 good thing we have you, the master of attraction.
A couple things you can do for wind. One some tripods have a hook at the bottom, hooking your camera bag or weight it down with a rock, can help. Two try turning off and vibration control in camera while using a tripod. I'm not sure about in board stabilization, but I'd guess turn it off too if you can.
Like the faster shutter speed.
👍👌🌊🌪📷📸🏞
I turn off the sound. Not only because I find the music annoying AF but because the photos should stand by themselves.
For me, some of the shots have too much negative sky space....don't be a slave to "normal" format shots...go panoramic!!!!
Mistake 1: calling it shutter speed. The correct terminology is shutter time.
1/500 of a second is time. 500 mph is speed.
Speed is time over distance. There is no distance in shutter measurements.
