Making the Most of Bad Weather

- Can we still take landscape images when its rainy and cloudy? Last autumn in the Dolomites we got some incredibly bad weather which challenged us to try to get shots when the conditions were far from perfect, and in this video I look at how we managed to still come away with some images.

Vision, knowledge and experiment are what we can call Andy Mumford photography.
Thanks so much, really glad you enjoyed the video
Wow, spectacular conditions! Almost all of my portfolio images are in objectively “bad” weather. Anytime the forecast calls for snow, fog, or rain… that’s the time to get out there! Really beautiful work!
Thanks for the comment
Amazing pictures and content! Subscribed!
Thanks so much
Wow! These photos are...amazing!
Thanks so much 🙏
As always, fantastic video Andy! Great work
Thanks so much for the comment, glad you found the video useful
You are one of the very best on You Tube.
You not only talk sense but your images are quality too.
Thinking of ditching my Nikon z and adding an XT-5 to my x-pro and alligning my lenses.Just need courage as I’ve had a big Nikon forever.
Thanks for the comment Mark, glad you enjoy the videos. The Nikon Z cameras are excellent, so I’m not going to encourage you to switch, but I can say I still love the Fuji system 🙂
Great perspectives Andy. Love the Dolomites and I shall use your information next time Im There
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video
Andy…a great video. Brilliant content and images. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment Nick, glad you enjoyed the video
As usual, great images Andy. These are great suggestions for bad weather and when conditions are bad. Thank you for sharing, really appreciate these videos.
Thanks so much for the comment, really glad you enjoyed the video and images
One word, "Stunning".
Thanks for the comment Will 🙏
Wonderful - thanks. Having just arrived home after a wet, grey few days on Australia’s south coast it was very relevant.
Thanks for the comment David, glad you found it useful
Another great video Andy
Thanks so much Stephen, glad you enjoyed the video
Wonderful as always! Hope you are doing well!!
Hi James, all good here. Hope you guys are all doing well. Glad you enjoyed the video, you'll have recognised a lot of the locations
I know megapixels aren't everything, light and editing have a huge role to play in sharpness and our perception of detail... but goddamn, those GFX100S images look infinitely detailed.
It has to be said, there's something about the files that really does look nice. The files in this video are downscaled to 4000 pixels along the longest edge, so about 20mp, but you can still see a difference
Bravo Andy!
Thanks so much 🙏
Some of my best Mountain photos have been in bad weather. Often, if you can showcase 1 sub peak or rocky outcropping emerging from the clouds and fog, it makes the mountain seem even more immense than it would in clear weather. Leave it to the imagination!
It's also precarious to urinate on high, frozen peaks

Yeah, I love the way the low clouds interact with mountains. The potential is infinite
Exactly!!
Exactly! Sometimes the best light happens in bad weather and only lasts a few seconds
wow, what an incredibly amazing place you’re in and some fantastic pictures from you. 🤘It’s like another world there. Thanks so much for sharing
Thanks so much for watching, really glad you found it useful
Great ideas for landscape photography 🌹
Thanks so much for the comment 🙏
Fabulous
Thanks so much 🙏
stunning images
Thanks for the comment
I love your dark and moody photos! Does that mean I'm a more dark and moody person? probably....
Haha, maybe..but I didn't get the impression you were a dark and moody person in Lofoten, although we certainly had some dark and moody weather
Gracias Maestro…👏👏👏🤘😘
Thanks so much 🙏
Awesome images as always. Would love to come along on one of those workshops! ❤️
Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video
Hey Andy, my backpack and my backside made it into your video. :) Hope all is well with you!
Haha, indeed Torsten. I'm sure there are some who think it's the best part of the video 😀 Hope all is good with you
Another breathtaking video leaving me in utter awe. Thanks for your efforts and sharing your experience. What brand is your beanie?
Thanks so much for the comment, glad you enjoyed it.
The beanie is from Icebreaker 😀
great photos, I should do a photo trip to the alps too....
Thanks so much for the comment. You can't beat the mountains for photography.
Sometimes you just need half an hour with a bit of the light shining through on a really murky day and it can make for an epic scene. They are often dramatic style photos that I love you don’t need much like you just need 20 minutes or so of epic life and you can get some great photos. You might get rained out for the rest of the day, but you will get some epic shots.
Completely agree
@@AndyMumford I think being prepared too ...good clothing. Waterproof bag and camera that can tolerate some rain. Preparation is everything
Your aerial footage is so beautiful, Andy. I've recently upgraded to the Mavic 3 Classic, but wonder if you've considered the Mini 3 Pro, given how weight is such a huge factor in your adventures. Take care, mate, and greetings from Australia.
I have looked at it, and it is very good. But while the video footage is outstanding for a drone on that size, the still images are significantly lacking in my opinion.
Just been using the Mavic 3 Classic while travelling and it’s an excellent drone
@@AndyMumford My sentiments exactly. Thx, Andy. 👍
Andy, good morning..
We need you doing a
'Chris Orange Collaboration' @
Fuji Brand users. 👍
Sorry, but I don't know him. I may have some collaborations coming up though
@@AndyMumford
Check out _Chis Orange Photography Channel_ ..presume you'll enjoy it.
Absolutely incredible shots as always! May I ask why you used the xt-4 instead of the xt-5 for this trip?
Thanks so much for the comment. I actually recorded this video back in October and the XT5 hadn’t been launched yet.
Thank you for these wonderful images and information. I would be curious to know with which camera you took these shots? I seem to have seen an X-H2, if so did you notice a difference with the X-T4? One last question if you have time. Did you use Fuji film simulations or is it processing on retouching software? Thank you again and good luck.
I put the camera, lens and exposure on the bottom left of each image in the video. The images were shot with a GFX100S and XT4. Since I recorded this video I've switched the XT4 with an XT5.
Non of the images are shot with film simulations, all are RAW images edited in Lightroom
I love the colors and contrast in all of your photos. I am trying to recreate similar drama in my landscape photos. Is there any lessons / videos on editing photos in Lightroom ?
Thanks so much for the comment, glad you enjoy the videos. Here's a video on how I use Lightroom czcams.com/video/kwBtgwZkLDo/video.html
From any situation you find incredible solution. I think if you would be in dark cave you can make masterpiece too. How to begin to see as you are?. Difficult conditions and superb results. Talent or experience?)
Thanks so much for the comment. I think it's mostly experience...I've been doing this for quite a while
So you had no problem shooting with the non-weather-resustant xf55-200 in the inclement weather?
I'm thinking of having a Viltrox 13 1.4 xf for mountain photography, also nonWR, is there an alarm with that?
I’ve used the Viltrox a lot in bad weather and it’s fine
@@AndyMumford Thanks for the encouragement.
Beautiful images, wondering if you are using any filters on these images, or is it all post editing?
Thanks for the comment. None of these images have filters, they are all RAW files edited in Lightroom
