Great video Darren by breaking the rules you got some fantastic minimalist photos as you said in the video normally photographs would be watching the histogram for correct exposure but by doing the opposite you made the most out of bad light and turned it into good light thank you for sharing your video
Very interesting Darren. Definitely food for thought. I think black and white really works well with these type of images. Must try it next opportunity. Thanks for sharing.
Hey Brian, Thanks a million for watching ! I was unsure while on location if they would work but nothing ventured nothing gained and all that !! Hope all is well your end ! Thanks for watching
A great way to adapt to unplanned conditions and some lovely images Darren. Blowing the highlights is often counter to what we've all been taught but can be really effective for these kinds of images, Lovely video
I really enjoyed this episode and particularly enjoyed chatting with you during the premiere to understand your thoughts and approach even more so 👏👏 keep inspiring us Darren 🎉
Thanks Darren, as Gary Gough, inspired you to take the fine art approach You have inspired me to give it a try, and the weather and light here is no excuse but maybe a benefit to get out with your camera and give it a go. Thanks
Lovely set of images D, and I find myself agreeing with you about getting out and practicing your art in all conditions. I thought you did a magnificent job. I for one find it difficult to 'blow' the highlights the way you did, but the resulting images were just beautiful. Have a great week and its a joy to see you out and about in the Red Devil once more 🙏🙏🙏
Ahh thanks man! A first time effort wasn’t too bad !! It felt alien to see the back of the camera flashing with highlight alerts for the entire screen but good to have a play and great to be back in the van for sure !! Thanks for watching have a great week you also
Hi Darren Great videos and website you have, My wife and I are planning a trip to Ireland in April we are planning to go to the following towns- Kilkenny, Blarney Castel, Killarney, ,Ring of Kerry Dingle, Cliffs of Mother, Galway, Connemara, Dublin. In that order??, I would like to by your guides but they do not have a breakdown of these towns which should I buy?. Please keep up the good work.
Thank you very much for your message and kind words ! I have 2 guides which will help you , Dingle & Killarney! The Cork guide may also give you additional areas to explore while there! Galway & Connemara aren’t done (yet) Hope that helps
By the way, do you offer private tours for photography, I have 😮retired and really enjoy Photography more than ever, I have a canon 90d a 24-70 and a 70-200 plus others these a😅re my go ro lenes with LRC.
I think yet again you made the most of the conditions you had there, though I would never have thought to do the over-exposure to lighten everything around the rocks. A very cool effect. Today was my first day out in over a month, and it was good to be back out again. Great vlog as always, take care.
@@DarrenJSpoonley Great, absolutlely fantastic, like regaining a lost part of myself. Can't believe how much I'd missed being out getting some shots and hadn't realised.
15:19 Peter Eastway is not a Master Photographer, he's a Grandmaster Photographer. His advice is to get a good technical exposure n location. You have all the detail you could want, and minimal noise. Later, if you want to blow the sky to buggery and back, you can do that. But, you also have other options.
Hi Darren, a fantastic video, buddy - and one of my favourite topics, as well ☺ I'm blown away by all your images, especially 08:00 ist really strong. The question is: Does it need that abstract processing as for 08:11 to make it a fine art photograph? Or is it maybe already a fine art photograph at ~08:00? 🙂 I know, and this is what I always say in my videos: there is no clear definition of what fine art photography is, but there is a clear definition of what art is. However, I absolutely like the image at 08:00 as well as 08:11, the latter one is just a bit more abstract. And I like all the other images, as well, of course. Awesome, keep them coming 😉 Nice greetings, Christian
Thank you very much My Friend !! It’s a style that even after doing I still don’t feel very comfortable with but as the saying goes do something everyday that scares you :-) Thanks for watching Delighted you enjoyed it and the shots

Thanks a million John
Great content as always Darren. I like the over-exposed shots. Maybe you should make that style your own. 👍👍
Thanks for the Inspiration pal! I need more practice as I’m sure it was all wrong 🫣🫣
Very nice Darren! I love a good long exposure shot. Glad you’re back in the van!

What is Fine Art Photography?
A good question :-)
