Don’t you just love being at the nature of mercy? 😂. You can take a look at my photography eBooks here: www.henryturnerphotography.co.uk/ebooks. Thanks for all your continued support!!
I think I might start using that... just to see people's reactions ;)
Really love both images!
Fantastic images today! Thanks for the awesome training!
I'm so glad you're able to take the Mickey out of yourself so well.. because if you couldn't, I would! 🤣🤣Only kidding mate, y'know we love ya really!
the last shot was amazing
Love the first shot. Beautiful lighting.
That last one was beautiful!
These also a feedback loop when it comes to visualisation and narrative of images. It gives you direction when you're taking the shot, but you can also prime people to see what they may have missed so that they get more out of an image. Ideally it would be strong enough to not need that little nudge but not everyone looks at a photo the way professionals/enthusiasts do.
The risk there is telling yourself a story that just doesn't work and talking yourself into believing something a bit average is better than it is.
Henry I am truly envious! I am envious of those beautiful photos you took, and your need to wear heavier clothing and a knit cap. I am watching this video here in Texas, sweating it out near 100° f, praying for a real cold front to come through!
Enjoyed the wander by the lake and through the woods, with great first and last photos too.
Henry, that first image looks like it could have come from an older National Geographic magazine. Loved it so much, great image, great composition. The last image was nothing less than stunning!
I thought the last image was fantastic! It felt like I was there - great light, great composition. Thanks for sharing!
In difficult light you have managed two lovely images. The gulls in the first image, genius with reflections as well!
Thank you Clive 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Aw! That first image.Wow! The birds made the story. Excellent!
You hit the nail on the head about what the eye is actually seeing, and what's on the back of the Lcd. This is why I love Lightroom, you're only picking up on the hidden info the sensor has already recorded in the natural scene. ( let's hope this comment doesn't get spammed like last time)
Thank you so much 😀
That last image took me by surprise, absolutely stunning. I find capturing woodland scenes frustrating, it's a beautiful environment but expressing it on a photo usually ends up a disappointment. I will definitely take my time more now after your, as usual, brilliant vid. 👍
Loved the 4 trees one Henry1
Awesome Henry, as always. Loved all the photos particularly the compositon on the last photo.
The first is just fantastic as others have said. Not keen on the trees the last on with the 4 trees is a better one. Great work Henry
hi Henry, love the photos today especially the woodland pictures.
Pretty nice, Henry, pretty nice. I like the advice you give about having a pre-conceived idea of what you are wanting the end result to be, as you go about capturing the image. Thanks, as always.
Another great vlog!
Considering what can be done in post-production with a photo is like a chef thinking about what they can produce from the raw ingredients!
I think I might be the first to say this, Henry, but the audio quality of your videos is first class. I had my Air Pods on while I watched this one and the audio is fantastic - crisp, balanced and very clear. People will forgive bad video (which you’re never guilty of!) but never bad audio.
I just gave myself a pat on the back. i guessed your composition of your first image when you were talking to camera. A stunning image.and the birds just add to it. Lovely
Great video Henry. Thanks. The photos are exquisite!
I like the time that you are taking to explain the problems of composition. As I was watching, I was thinking how I would frame the scene - so that's a great level of involvement for the viewer.
Definately worth getting up for. Those images are beautiful. Thanks for a really good video too.
Last photo was a delight!
Fantastic video and pictures once again Henry thank u
You smashed your 1st photo love it Henry 📸👏
I was at the 'nature of mercy' on Thursday when it lashed it down all day in the Lake District! I did get a couple of decent images in the rain but unlike your good self I don't fare well in rain. I passed that very same bench (1897) while wandering around. Saw 4 red squirrels and a few bird of prey (lots of jets too) Really enjoyed your video young Henry as there is so much to see in the Lake District (reminded me a lot of the Scottish Highlands but with more people!) thanks for taking us along on your journey and the insights
Superb photo's. Very inspiring. Many thanks
Great Vid!! love the last image, the processing is really spot on!
The last photo is very nice, I like it a lot!
Fabulous video Henry. Not only are you an amazing photographer but you are also a brilliant photography teacher. I learn so much from your 'lessons'; you keep everything so simple yet really get a point across. I look forward to your video each week as you have a real connection with your audience. I am looking forward to getting back to the woodland for autumn with you as my guide! Oh, and I'd love to see you do a post processing video sometime.
Nature of mercy LOL Another brilliant video mate. Amazing shot 18:00
Great vid, that last image of the 4 trees is just spot on 👌
Stunning 1st image 👏
Henry the first photo is absolutely stunning. The composition, the colours, the birds and the postprocessing are in perfect balance for me. It's, however, very closely followed by the last one as well.
I love going out first thing in the morning to calm, silent woods. I prefer the sunrises over the sunsets, although I completely understand the feeling and rush when going into the unknown in terms of conditions.
Thanks a lot Mateusz! I’m really fond of that last image 🙏🏼
Another cracking update. 👍👏
Awesome stuff again 👏🏻👏🏻
You do know, after taking it all in, your work is stunning and true to my work captures the magical beauty in nature.
I do love being at the nature of mercy rather than the other way round. Some have said it's my gift. But that's another story.
I will be buying both the e-books. Just not right yet. I want to make sure I print them out and use them thoroughly. I've quite the habit of not utilizing purchases.
Just discovered your channel, fricking love how excited you are in every video when go out shooting! love it!!
Beautiful images Henry,
Loved the composition of the woodland shot where you were shooting down toward the trees (Last Shot) keep up the amazing work.
Thank you mate!!
Great advice Henry. Thinking like an artist painting a subject in any environment is the best advise you can give. After a while you will do this naturally. Tell a story, read the light and bring out the best of your composition. Contrast and depth of mood is the most challenging, it will make or break your final piece…
The first image was magnificent. Catching the birds perfectly like you did was a real piece of art. I really loved the last image as well. Perfectly balanced. I can appreciate your comment about not zooming enough and trying to include too much. It's something I've recently been working on myself. You also mentioned shots looking like rubbish on the LCD or even on the computer. I took an image the other day and in both instances I thought it wasn't very good. However, I started processing it anyway and was pleasantly surprised by how the finished product came out. It's probably one of my favorite images of the year in fact. Thanks for another stellar video. I always appreciate your enthusiasm.
Love that first pic
Really liked the last image
The last one was superb 🙂👌
Once again Henry great images, exactly how I would have taken them, keep up the good work. 👍
Three stunning images Henry and TH in the tree trunks of the final one.. Turner Henry 😅
Nice to actually see you somewhere I'm familiar with 😊
Hey Henry, I really liked the one you were not to sure about, the group of trees.
Yes, Henry, how truè. I take an image quite often what I will do with it in post later
Hi Henry Another brillant video, Would you make a video showing us how you go about doing a shoot .
from taking a couple of shots in Raw , and how you will change the shot in in post later still out in the field .
Then can you show us in as basic terms how to use light room or photo shop to enhance the shots .
I have tryed many times to use light room but failed .
You have a very good way of explaing the art of Photography .I am sure there is many of your viewers who would love to see how you work your craft .
Richard from Leeds
Thank you. All the best. 👍📷😎
Thanks a lot Rob 🙏🏼🙏🏼
That tree shot at aroun 13 mins... I thought you'd missed the focus, it was really soft and blurry - then I realised that. for some reason, YT had dropped the res to 480. Set it back to 4k, and perfect focus! Another great vid, Henry.
Cracking pictures tonight 👌
useful content.
I really like your "not sure" photos.
As alays, really enjoyed the video. I really like the last image! Well done!
Lovely stuff, Henry. Your first shot turned out beautifully and is the kind of photograph I tend to take more often that not: birds I often incorporate into the landscape if they're around. The woodland shots are just gorgeous and I need to practise this kind of imagery more. I've yet to get my eyes trained to separate interesting detail from the wider shots when faced with wall to wall foliage. Thanks for the inspo! 👏👌🏼
I know everyone has loved your first image, and for good reason! My favorite however was the four trees. I think the way you handled the light in that photo (and perhaps in post as you were discussing) shows what great choices you made in that composition. Love the videos, thank you.
A learn a lot from your advices & comments on your own images. For instance with the shot of the treetrunk(s), not to have everything in focus. Thanks!
Another helpful video Henry. It was good to hear you talk about post processing and it would be interesting to hear more on this from you.
Your use of zoom and focal length was also interesting. I like that you talk us through your process and reasoning behind the settings you choose. I don’t know any other photographers that consistently do this for us. I find it so helpful. So thank you Henry. Lovely images as always. I struggle with the concept of portrait shots for landscape. Crazy I know but I see you could not chop the tree off. I need to get past that mental block. It’s probably to my shame as I rarely use a tripod and the camera feels easier to hold in the landscape mode. Apologies for the waffle.
Appreciate your comment Lynda, definitely not a waffle! Thanks so much.
Another great video Henry. Can you please give me any advice on what lens you recommend for a D7200 for landscape shooting? You have me hooked on photography now. Keep up the good work sir.
Todd
Henry, another superb video bringing the reality of landscape photography to life with early starts, chasing the light, and working to get that composition just so. It’s all in the eye of the beholder, I know - I loved the first image and those birds were the icing on the cake, but the final image was an absolute 🍑. Beautiful!
Love early mornings. Me, I am more a sunrise person than sunset. I am happier now the Sunrise is later as Autumn approaches (extra time in bed!). Love your work Henry!
Beautiful images - as always. I had to go back twice to giggle at that little squirrel's dance moves!
Great last pic seems a good guy interesting
Not a single bad image in the entire video, sir; they were all amazing! And I *loved* that last woodland shot - yeah, the one you kept worrying about!. It turned out beautiful! Quick question for you: Do you always frame your shots using the LCD? or do you prefer using the viewfinder? I've noticed (maybe it's just for the purpose of your videos) that you frame up a lot of your shots using the LCD and was curious if you prefer that over the camera's viewfinder. As always, thank you for taking time to share your skills and expertise with the rest of us. Looking forward to your next CZcams!
Thanks Steve! Yes that's probably just what you see in the videos. I'd say it's about 50/50 between viewfinder and LCD. I'd say I prefer the VF if I had to choose
Hi Henry, great video. I wonder if you were at Ullswater at the same time as me. I was staying at the Duke of Portland boat house from 15th Sep-18th Sep. It would have made my day to bump into you. I got a few nice shots too. Love your one with the birds.
Yes i understand what you mean.
Find photography peaceful in morning
Do you prepare for autumn such as locations
I do the same. I look at a scene and invision the direction I want to take the photo. I use my cell phone which doesn't shoot raw and it captures the lights and shadows and glows. Then I use that cell shot to assist me in the direction for editing. Great shots Henry! Always a joy! Question. What's the weather like in the Lakes district in November near Keswick?
Thanks Bruce! Will be a bit chilly by then but you may even catch some of autumn
Another great video Henry, I really liked the last photo and bringing it into 16.9 was the right thing to do. Keep up the good work and look forward to next weeks video.
Subscribed only yesterday & have enjoyed watching the vlogs. Nice and genuine,may even purchase a print at some point 👍.
I appreciate your support, David 🙏🏼🙏🏼
Amazing images. Absolutely love your enthusiasm, very infectious. Just starting to get into nature and landscape photography, and have learned a lot from watching your channel. Cheers.
Great video as always. It would be great to see how you pulled out the light in the first image, I get the thought about seeing the RAW image and where you look to get to, in terms of recreating what the eye sees, but how did you do it?
Beautiful shots. Why 10% dislikes? Are people crazy? Keep up the great work, thank you
Was that a bat at 4:51? Oh bird. Ok. Love the videos and advice. I do need to look up your gloves though. Getting that time. That definitely looked like red squirrel in the ending video. We have some left in New England but they've become rarer down in the lower part. All the photos are amazing. Your outdoors is so different but gorgeous.
The 4 trees would like great with some fog in the background
I can see Bob Ross before he sadly died painting that scene in the first image
Great video Henry. As you like to challenge yourself, I would like to see you do a video and just do B&W photo's. It does make you think more about light and shadows etc especially when it comes to post editing.
See how you get on.
Excellent video. I have a lot of wooded area with hills and chaos. It is difficult to get a good composition.
Love the first image! Yes it does look like a painting well done!
When I heard you say that I thought I'd misheard it lol, great video and great images :)
Can't beat a good sunrise shoot, you have the rest of the day to recover from an early start ha-ha great images as always Mr T.
The gulls looked like Herring gulls from what I could see
I was going to ask you if you ever looked at a scene and decide beforehand what aspect ratio you might want the picture to be. Then at the end of your video you set your camera to 16:9. A lot of times I don't know what size print I'll want so I leave enough room in the frame for cropping later. I don't normally change the aspect ratio in camera but I'm sure it helps to get the composition right in camera. I know that in raw you'll still get the full image.
Nice shot with the 4 trees, but 3 is better than 4 as you know the rule of odds. My thoughts would be to concentrate more on the left 3 and the fallen tree as an anchor. What do you think?
Definitely something to think about mate!!
Cracking images Henry, especially loved the final one as the sense of depth was fabulous. Definitely agree, knowing and improving your post processing abilities helps with pre-visualisation out in the field and its something I find myself thinking more and more of these days
Another gem of a video, The lakeside shot was stunning, catching the birds just right. Of the two woodland shots, I preferred the second one only because the path in the foreground gave a subtle contrast to all that green. Roll on Autumn.
Nice one again. I drove near here in June - will try it out another time. I ended up at Brothers water just South of here and had a good walk all round the lake - best part for me was where the lake narrows into the river at the Northern end - really good reflections there as the water was still
Good job Henry. I believe we should pre visualise everything we want in life, not just in our images. Think of the final result, then plan and work on how to get it. No goal (visualise it) no plan= no result.
Cheers for watching Rick - good point actually!!
Another great video Henry! Thanks for sharing your tip on thinking about the post-processing stage when taking the photo, I've not thought about that much before but will definitely try it out on my next photo excursion! The last photo was brilliant by the way.
That group of four trees. Cracking image. As always great watching. I’ve got a trapped nerve in my back so I ain’t going anywhere with my camera. Just travelling with you. Thank you
Previsualization... two words: Ansel Adams
Cheers, Henry!
That was another great video, a bit of woodland photography is nice too! Love the pictures you got, part of me is really looking forward to autumn with the beautiful colors. The other part wants eternal summer for the nice weather and for it to be light long in the evening 😅
I guess we all know that feeling, if the picture is gonna be good or not. I also had this feeling in the past and let the pictures sit on my camera for a few days and then start processing them. I had some pictures I really love that at the moment weren’t that great. If you understand 😁 the right side of the last photo is amazing the light and not a lot of distractions, but the left side was for me a little to busy. Great video
Hey Henry, I enjoyed the adventure very much. Last image was really nicely done. Excellent photography skills my friend. On the first image I really loved the fact you were able to "extract" such a beautiful composition out of what seemed to be a very distracting area due to the overall beauty of the place. Looking forward the next adventure. Great job brother. !!!
Hi Henry, an early grand day out and thanks for sharing. I love the first image, really peaceful, and the last one was far from shabby too... keep up the good work!
Cheers Steve!!
Great video, Henry, particulary the woodland part of it. It's truely helpful for others that you share your thoughts and struggles openly while finding compositions, but it pays off as they are both really nice, especially the last one! You're doing a little crop in camera by chosing the 16:9 framing, I would have done that in post to have a little more headroom during editing.
Keep up the good work!
Great video. I hope u will go back for woodland videos during fall season.
Cheers, it’s definitely part of my plans!
I used to work in a pro photo lab, 'post processing ' was always part of bringing out the best in an image, hand printing, dodging and burning etc. Digital is no different .
