There is never a wasted minute when watching your vlogs

Ja, I remember one time, photographing in mountains in California, the other photographers were leaving, as I arrived ... I was "late", but just in time for alpen glow, and soft, soft, pinkish light, reflections down from clouds...bristlecone pines. Sometimes, "light," is what you make of it, as you show in many of these instances. Funny thing, too, that in the North (or South ), the light is that "golden hour", low in the sky, for hours...in winter ;-) Nice video, Christian!

Superb explanations and examples my friend !! This video should be pinned as one of the best explanations and lessons to all

Wow Beautiful landscape Nature is my favourite Thank you for Uploading this Video Brother your famous Photographer

Great advice on how to use the light that is there

Wieder ein sehr interessantes Video👏

I really appreciated these tips.

Thanks for sharing such a great content and beautiful videos,.,.

Great video as usual,

Sehr interessanter Fotokurs zum Thema Licht, Christian! Licht ist für die Aussagekraft eines Bildes besonders wichtig ist - und bei Landschaftsaufnahmen kann man nicht schnell mal eben eine Lampe verschieben ;). Deswegen finde ich es super gut von dir erklärt, wie man das natürliche Licht verstehen und nutzen lernen kann. Insbesondere bei schnell wechselnden Lichtverhältnissen kann man beobachten, dass sich bei änderndem Licht auch die Bildaussage innerhalb kürzester Zeit verändert. Deine Beispielfotos sind wie immer exquisit 👌🏼😊. Genieße dein Wochenende und liebe Grüße aus Süddeutschland 🙋🏼‍♀️

A very thought provoking video. I have gradually broadened my landscape photography. I used to avoid flat, overcast lighting and missed many image opportunities. Videos like this have encouraged me try different lighting that I used to consider 'poor'. I agree there is much rubbish talked about 'the golden hour'. I use The Photographer's Ephemeris to plan shots and in the help files for this application, there is a very detailed explanation of how 'the golden hour' varies with location, time of year etc and also varies in length and light quality. 'The blue hour' is also similarly misunderstood. I often see so-called blue hour shots where the blueness comes from poorly adjusted white balance which often spoils an otherwise excellent image.

I have been checking out more of your videos after really enjoying your video yesterday on where to focus. That video solved my major problem with focusing as almost every landscape photographer vlogger advocates only the hyperfocal method or the one-third method (those just created more problems and frustrations for me). I think you have become my favorite landscape photography guru now! Great job.

Great video Christian and I loved all the B roll and example images you showed. Some real magic scenery in this. Light is so important as you explained very well in so many aspects of landscape. Thanks for sharing the video, enjoyed watching 👍🙏

Thanks for that great explanation of light. This video has helped me understand what I am seeing, as well as what to look out for to be prepared for light that may be coming. (I hope that makes sense!)

Just starting to investigate landscape photography, love your videos. How does one meter to take in the wide dynamic range in these kind of images?

BTW, you can often find these special areas of light, in a scene, by remembering that long lenses can isolate a beautiful, small area, and compress the "texture" in the landscape, so that even a "prairie" can look like rolling hills...

Sehr gut hergestellt! Das hat mir gefallen!!!!!!!! Prima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Another little thing, is polarization of light, when you can get really saturated sky, especially at high elevations, at 90° from the sun...you can get *really* dark skies with clear skies, and 2000 m elevation ... in addition to the many times that *you* have shown effective polarizer use for foliage.

Somehow, there are no links showing in this video, when you point to where they should be...
