- Getting the correct shutter speed can make or break you photo. I am on location in Ireland and Northern Ireland to photograph some seascapes and make some mistakes and get some great shots. I also get the most epic light I have seen in a while.

"It's cold and very windy". Hey, that's our summer you're talking about! 😂 If you get a chance to come over again make sure to stop at Ballintoy harbour and church, amazing spot.
Nigel, as someone from Northern Ireland, I loved this VLOG. How you picked out unique, compelling compositions and images from a place where thousands have been before you was amazing, a true credit. To be honest, there was also a really emotional side at 16:30 mins where you take about the 'disaster', I could see in your eyes that something was not good, then you said how you were ill on this trip and had to cut it short. To be honest, Nigel, one of the things that makes you so distinctive is your humanity: 'it doesn't get better than this' exuberance; talking abut what went wrong and your 'fails' and all in between. Many thanks for all that you give to the photographic community. Hopefully, I can join you on one of your workshops.
Those pictures you have printed are so fantastic and adorable. The moment you have showed us the scenery at 14:08 I felt so happy for you. Congrats and thank you for sharing!
video starts....first second jaw drops... only nigel can do that!!! what a spot!
Nice one Nigel, remember there's a lot more of Ireland to see, all along the wild altantic way, the Burren and closer to home for me the copper Coast....hope you enjoyed your time here and sorry to hear it was cut short because of illness. Come back soon!
You made this beautiful intro with an immense cinematic look. Dynamic scenes with such depth. And then IMMEDIATELY after it cuts to you waddling up into frame telling us how you forgot your hat lol your videos are a blessing and I look forward to binging them every time I need a photography fix. Thank you for the work you put in (:
Hi Nigel, I never youtube comment (well until now!) but just wanted to say how much your enthusiasm and excitement for photography come across, and was especially noticable in this vid. It had inspired me to look far more positively at weather/light conditions as chances to take photos. Thanks for your efforts, and brilliant vids. Also thanks for introducing me to James Popys - i'm really enjoying his channel too.
This video was absolutely stunning, Nigel. I love that you took the extra time to walk through setups and settings used for certain shots. That will definitely help me with my own photography in the future.
Happy you're feeling better Nigel. Awesome shots and great content as usual!
My arms hair just raised at 14:20. Man, what a view! I just felt like I was back the the Andes again, looking down at the bottom of the valley from almost 4km above. That feeling is outstanding, is inexplicably unsettling and powerful. Beautiful work, Nigel! ❤️ from Brazil
That was spectacular! Lots of jaw dropping shots!
Thank you Nigel! You’re awesome!
There's one thing you touch on, but don't underline: timing when to be there relative to the tide. When the tide is coming up, you can have these waves, when it is receding, and around the peak, there is less agitation in the water, at least into the coast line's direction.
Fantastic shots! Amazing light. There’s something magical about water and waves. I loved the enthusiasm in your video. Thank you, Nigel.
It is so good to see you get out and enjoy your time!!! I love your lessons but I couldn’t help but giggle to see your excitement!!!
Nigel, I love your thought that its okay to shoot in a place where thousands of others have already photographed
Thank you so much for all that you do! We are still in lockdown here in Melbourne and have learnt so much from you while we are confined to the local area. Your tips are always great and I love that you share information about your images whether you think they work or not. The light you captured here is stunning! We enjoyed it along with you.can’t wait to get out and try some of the composition techniques!
Great to see Ireland feature this week Nigel. Looking forward to more from here in the coming weeks.
Northern Ireland and it's Atlantic Coast is such a beautiful place, you captured some amazing images of it.
Wonderful trip Nigel! Thanks for letting us tag along!
I love how enthusiastic you were when you were taking photos. Giant's Causeway is indeed amazing.
I can feel your excitement and these photos are epic! Hope you're feeling much better.
I like these videos where you explain you are thought process from setting up through taking the shot and then seeing your notes when you're showing the image. Very helpful.
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful place and beautiful pictures!!! A trip to Ireland is my number one place to visit on my bucket list!! Absolutely beautiful!! Thanks for taking us along!
Hi Nigel - I don't know if you'll ever see this but I wanted to say thank you. Your videos, although certainly helpful for photography, have a greater message. You've shown us how beautiful the world can be when you look at it through your eyes. I play these videos in the background even when I'm not paying attention to them, they have such a calming effect.
I love to see the reactions of a photographer when they are surrounded by shot opportunities, the excitement is so great
I like taking seascapes and I found the subject on shutter speed interesting as I do tend to take long shutter speeds to get the effect I want. However, the next time I will try faster shutter speeds and try different compositions using waves as leading lines. Thanks Nigel.
I am usually annoyed by people overanalysing composition, and then getting into irrelevant details. But you are actually right, you're attention to details is very nice to see.
What an incredible series of images Nigel, especially the latter ones, with the way the light was. Thanks for sharing.
What a magical location, Nigel. Your images are too. I’ve never been to the Giant’s Causeway, buts it’s certainly on my list. Thank you for sharing your insights.
Great photos Nigel, as always! Thanks for the understanding of how to use shutter speeds, really helpful.
Oh wow, what beautiful locations you have to shoot! You are truly blessed Nigel!
Stunning images Nigel. Your emotions came through in the pictures.
Stunning landscape. Very nice images Nigel.
Fantastic light Nigel. Great images as usual. Well done.
Brilliant video. You can feel your excitement and exhilaration coming through the TV, the sweet spot when location and conditions are so good. Especially liked the last image before returning to the studio but overall a sublime collection of images. 😍
Wow! One of your best videos yet. Thanks for putting in so much effort to share the experience with us. The pictures are so awe inspiring they brought tears to my eyes.
Thanks Nigel, wonderful insight to shutter speed with seascapes. Also, very entertaining too - love your incredible attention to detail, it’s so inspirational. Glad to see you are better too.
Fantastic - such dramatic seascapes
Epic images Nigel! Especially the last, its drama is superb! Great job man!!
Really appreciate the written information you provided with each photo. So helpful.
15:08 makes me happy, I know that feeling, so nice to see you living your dreams
Great shots... Loved watching your enthusiasm on location this week for what looked some amazing conditions
Super excited to get the calendar. Looks amazing.
The last photos that you took at the most northern point were stunning. You were so lucky to catch such wonderful conditions. I can't wait to see your Seascapes book.
That was brilliant, I can imagine how exciting that was for you. The sunrise was absolutely stunning. Amazing images 👍👍👍
....absolutely stunning pictures Nigel!
Great collection of shots this week and good tips re shutter speed.
I‘ve been to Northern Ireland, loved it, beautiful places. Truly amazing pictures Nigel, as always thanks for sharing your experience with us.
Fantastic! Memories of days like those stay with us forever...
Thanks for sharing.
Watching your videos we can’t help but feel your enthusiasm, as the light becomes enchanting.
Awesome stuff my friend 👍 !!
Stunning images Nigel, congrats!!!! Thanks for sharing.
Ohhhh wow how’s those last pictures 😍 nailed it!!
Your videos are just great.
I feel your joy of fotography while I learn so many things at the same time. After your videos I'm always encouraged to try it on my own. Actually even half through your videos, I find myself being one step away from grabbing my gear and going outside ^^
And the moment you realized again, there's just too much ways at the same time to take great a pictures 😂 I feel that so much. As I'm heading to california, Nevada, Utah and Arizona I'm glad to see even professionals struggle with that 😄
Keep up the good work, thanks a lot and may the light be with you ✌️
Wow! These are spectacular!
Your excitement is palpable, Nigen - I Love it! "It doesn't get better than this! No, hang on... THIS!! Wait, hold my beer!!!" Glad you're feeling better now, mate. Spectacular light - brilliant images!
These are absolutely stunning photographs!! Thank you for sharing the beauty as well as your process.
Breathtaking pictures! Thank you Nigel.
Fantastic shots at the headland! Thanks for the video
Absolutely breath taking Nigel!
Absolutely superb Nigel...you just keep getting better and better. 👌
I absolutely love this; not a massive fan of seascapes, however these images are stunning and provide me with so much inspiration. It makes me want to explore our beautiful country even more. Fantastic video!
Fantastic video Nigel, this is definitely one of your best yet! Love the cinematic introduction 👏
Beautiful shots. Loved it.
This last photo is sooo stunning, acctually made me a bit teary, the world is so beautiful! I totally felt your joy, spectacular place and condition!
just WOW! Amazing photos.
Nigel those photos at the end were ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!

Nigel, this video made me so emotional and motivated…
You make amazing content and deserve all the praise for your work 🤟☺️

Truly amazing views and photography! Really touching.
Love your enthusiasm.
woowww....jaw dropping landscape Nigel, i am really an awe with your choice of POI. Well done
Another great video, and I always feel more inspired after watching your videos! Thanx!
Talk about being at the right place at the right time those shots are incredible!
Some beautiful shots , magnificent ..take care of yourself
Jeez, nice pics Nigel keep it up!!
Stunning photos!!!
wow what a photographers playground. sheer heaven. divine.
Another great & inspirational video (as usual) Nigel! Sorry you had to cut the trip short. Hope you’re feeling properly better.
Wow !!! simply immense conditions Nigel and some belter shots right there,,,,,Well done mate !!! Thanks again ! Bob.
Great video and probably some of my favourite photos of yours.
I'm speechless. Amazing photos, great video editing and nice music...simply great!
What incredible images you got on your trip, Nigel! I am sorry to didn't feel well toward the end and had to cut your trip short. Bummer! But those photos were well worth the cold and wind. I especially liked the backlit wave shots. Thank you for sharing.
Amazing place and it's another great video again, Nigel.
Stunning images Nigel and such a quality video. Great advice as usual. What a wonderful location. Sorry to hear your trip was cut short due to illness. Hopefully you’ll head out there again soon and film some more of this glorious part of the world.
Nigel, wonderful presentation. I like the way you "tell it the way it is". I start taking pictures, about an hour before sunrise. I find dawn the best part of the day. I usually know where I am going the day before. I do study weather a lot. Humidity, wind speed, cloud cover. exact sunrise and dew point are very important. I usually can quickly change my destination by the look of the sky before sunrise. First above all, I check my phone. Next I have a spare battery for each of my cameras. In North Dakota the temps can get to 40 below F. Camera batteries don't last long in that cold. Going back to the same spot several times usually helps me. It takes me several visits to see what I missed the first visits. I constantly change angles. I do a lot of pictures into the sun. It is a challenge but worth it. Most important, I love mornings. I think you do too. I am excited every morning. I love stormy weather. I often tell people that I follow the sun. Again, thanks for the presentation.
Awesome tutorial. Thanks for sharing great tips
Nice seascapes and great shots!
Those shots at the head are GOLD!
I very rarely have occasion to laugh out loud while watching a photography video but your joyful caper at 15:10 did the trick! 😊 There were so many highlights in the video but for me, the lighting at 13:50 was absolute magic (not to mention so amazing, unbelievable and oh my word, which you already have!) .
Undoubtedly your best video yet. Five stars!
Cheers from DownUnder.
Reminded me of a happy little leprechaun! 😁
As always great and entertaining video with good advice on shutterspeeds for seascape photos. Looking foreward to your book on Seascapes.
Amazing shots, stunning location too 👍🏻👍🏻
Oh my! Bravo. What a beautiful place. Your photos are stunning. Thank you for that.
Sorry to hear this trip was cut short with illness.
You still managed to get some spectacular shots in.
Luckily Ireland will still be there waiting for you to return Nigel.
Stay safe 🇦🇺
One of your best ever videos. Superb photography both stills and the video all through. Congratulations. Sorry you were taken ill.
That was some of the most beautiful scenery! Great photos Nigel, not sure I would have been able to leave that location.
The seascapes near the end were absolutely epic. Honestly think they were some of your best work!
That's such a shame you were unwell and ended up going back early but what a video and what a collection of images! They are fantastic. I enjoy coastline photography because it's constantly changing and there is a lot to play with, especially long exposures.
Love your films Nigel... basic passion + knowledge = beautiful end imagery!
Nigel - simply put: fantastic presentation, information and advice. Please keep executing like this…very useful and informative.
