I like birch and also the old gnarly oak trees. They have so much unique character.

@The58stupot 3 жыл бұрын

Another tip for you all. If there is mist around do take some B+W shots. This time of year everyone gets obsessed with autumn colour so just try something different. Great vid Nigel.

@marygaudette3209 Жыл бұрын

Larch trees turning golden in the fall are one of my favorite. I also love the bright reds of blueberry leaves on the barrens in the fall here in Maine.

@dannynash5713 3 жыл бұрын

Aspens are the most beautiful tree for me. The white bark and bright yellow leaves are breathtaking and the silver birches are awesome too! Great video!

Hey Nigel, I've been following and liking for years but I've never commented. Gotta say I've appreciated this video! Valuable tips! As a Canadian I can't agree more on the time sensitivity of autumn. One day it can be 20c and the next morning it can be -2 with a foot of snow. Take the shots while you can!

@jeanpierreguaron9222 3 жыл бұрын

LOL - I do know what you mean, and I envy you - autumn colours are quite fantastic - I grew up with them, but long since left them behind. I now live in sub-tropical climate, with essentially only two seasons and no separate page for either spring or autumn - they are just the shoulder, where the two seasons join, but no particularly wonderful colours, rarely if ever any mist. Your photo at 4:50 is outstanding - be proud! At 5:50 you do something I urge everyone to do - don't just look in one direction - look all around you, try to "see" - it's amazing what images leap out at you, if you only give this a try. Sunset? - don't just stare west - look north - look south - turn around and look behind you - look up above you - there are images, colours, opportunities, all around us - and so few people "look" or "seee"/

I've always just come to YT to learn things, and then gone about my day. Your channel is the first one I'm subscribing to. It's fantastic fun, heartfelt, and informative.

Here in North America, we don’t have Silver Birches. But the Quaking Aspens are, in my mind, just as beautiful to photograph in autumn.

A tip on the color wheel complementary colors: a primary color complements with the combination of the other two (as blue complements with orange (red + yellow) and yellow complements with purple (red + blue)). Keeping that in mind, you won't have to check the wheel every time you need to remember the rule!

Great tips with some great photos showing the concepts. I find that autumn is the most distraction time for me because, as you mention, everywhere you look is interesting. It looks like a possible image until you bring it into Lightroom and realize that composition doesn't reflect what your mind was excited about. So, I agree with your tip of slowing down! Thanks for the awesome tips!

Terrific video, Nigel. All the points are so relevant for me, especially #7. I have been looking at my library lately and realized that I need to slow down to make sure that I compose my work better. Your explanation of the color wheel is so much more relatable with the visual presentation of complementary colors. Looking forward to next week's video.
