  • 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.

  • @BarisYener

    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.

  • @PastorJoshuaSizemore
    @PastorJoshuaSizemore Před 2 lety +25

    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

    @jpdj2715 Před 2 lety +25

    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.

We enjoyed it along with you.can’t wait to get out and try some of the composition techniques!

    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.

  • @grahamegannon9708
    @grahamegannon9708 Před 2 lety +12

    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 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 ✌️

  • @davidhanson3345
    @davidhanson3345 Před 2 lety

    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.
