You've heard of 3 men and a baby, well get ready for 3 world-class photographers and a “local” 😂😂
It's time for a completely different video, one where Myself ⁠‪@NigelDanson‬ ⁠‪@MadsPeterIversen‬ & ⁠‪@MichaelShainblum‬ headed off to see who could get the better shot, while only using 400mm focal length. Add to this wild wind, blazing sun and a 1 hour time limit and challenges are sure to happen.
Would I reign victorious given that I'm the " local", watch all the other guys' videos and let me know in any of the comments on any of the videos about it
Nigels

Special Thanks also to ⁠‪@RickBebbington‬ for the use of his awesome video footage
Thanks for watching, if it's your first time on the channel I would really appreciate a subscribe, it massively helps the channel, and of course a like and comment for good measure :-)

Hi Darren just saw the lads videos all four of you got some beautiful photos. My favourite was Michael's turquoise wave. Mads cheated he used 300ml Nigel and Michael where late back so technically I guess you won the challenge.

This was really fun - you guys should do more like this. After watching all 4 of the videos I have to judge the challenge like this 1 = Mads 2 = Darren 3 = Michael 4 = Nigel although it was really close all round. The human interest and compression Mads added was the most unique and so it really stood out for me.

So far, haven't watched Michael yet, I was thinking Nigel's rainbow shot had the biggest "wow" factor, but nah, yours does. Mads put a lot into his shot, though, and I can't discredit the ability and work put into that. What a difficult decision. First time watching your channel, will be same for Michael.

Hi. Landscape, my favorite genre of photography. I watched the videos of all the participants of this challenge and concluded that as an empirical experiment, it is interesting. I don't want to assume the role of referee, but even though you disqualified Michael, his photos impressed me more than others. By the way, I am a subscriber to three of the participants, except for Daren's channel.
