Hey Nigel, another great video. Here is an idea for a future video or maybe video mini series’. Work with a novice photographer over a week in your local area documenting them and their work from the beginning of the week until the end of the week, and show how much they have improved by focusing and learning from you and the techniques and experiences you teach. Yes, I would love to be your Guinea pig, but any novice would work I surmise…. 😂. Really do think it would be a great way to show how even a novice can become a better, dare I say “good” with a little work. As always, keep snapping…

Good Morning Nigel. Coffee and a Nigel YT remain a great way to start Sunday mornings. At 19:30 I was very interested in your discussion of being in a nice scene but not able to discover a shot that worked. That is a predicament I find myself in often. I don't live in an area with vast vistas, but everyone has access to smaller shots, such as your shot of the frosted fern. I would like to see you do a video of smaller subjects, macro or just close-up, with backlighting. I have seen some great images of that style, but my results are inferior. Thanks for all.

I think you can sum up this video very simply- I'm almost 76 now and my lifelong enjoyment of photography started at secondary school at the age of 11, when I joined a lunchtime camera club run by a brilliant Art Teacher who, was also an amazing Photographer. I'll never forget the fun we, as 11 year olds, had when we learned the magic of making and using Pinhole Cameras. So, putting it quite simply... "Never forget the Basics". But I've also realised that there are now so many "Experts" on KZfaq (and other sites) and, the advice from every single one is different. They ALL have their own version of 'Rules'. None are wrong, yet equally- Which 'Expert' is right? Every one of us has our own pair of eyes, and through those eyes we see what we want to see. Does your favourite photo conform to every rule? Mine certainly doesn't. it's my favourite because "I Like it". So remember- "Never forget the Basics" AND "If we were all the same, Life would be very Boring".

Hi Nigel, I would like to see a series of videos on: 1) Composition Challenge Series: taking multiple images of the same scene with different compositions. Each episode could focus on a specific composition principle, where you use only that principle for taking photos. In the end, I would like to know which composition you prefer the most. 2) Camera Settings Exploration: Taking multiple images of the same scene with different camera settings and exploring their effects on photography. This could include topics like long exposure, fast shutter speed, aperture, ISO, .... In the end, I would like to know which setting you prefer for that scene. 3) Editing in Lightroom/Photoshop: episodes where you take a single image and edit it in multiple ways using Lightroom or Photoshop.

Another stunning video Nigel. Thank you. How you get out so early in the back of night and freezing cold is beyond me but it what makes your photography so special. I would like to see you do a shoot with slightly more accessible camera equipment. Not all of us amateurs are able to afford such high end lenses and cameras. I would like to see how you approach a shoot with more limited equipment and to see how it compares to using your mirrorless camera and top end lenses. Keep up the great work.

Hi Nigel, It would be nice to see you take 3 young people under your wing and watch them grow and bloom under your tuition, an the possible acceleration their futures by giving them a head start on avoiding some of the pit falls and mistakes most of us make! I say 3 because 4 can travel easy in one vehicle. One can only imagine the sense pride and achievement knowing they helped the next up and coming artist that could very possibly grace or screens one day and deliver as much beautiful art and images as your good self! you could ask one of the camera brands to sponsor the series and kit out the 3 recruits and possibly keep the camera gear if they show great potential and produce some lovely stunning vistas! As always its great to sit on a Sunday and watch with a coffee in hand!

Apparently I was one of the relatively few that had already watched last week’s video. It’s interesting that the videos I learn the most from are not necessarily my favorites.

I'd love to see a video where you expand on the idea of not being able to find a shot. As viewers, we know that you guys film a lot of your outings that don't turn out and it never gets posted. Show us that. Show us the struggle and frustration. Why didn't things work out? There's so much more to learn from failures than success. We talk a lot about the value of exclusion in a landscape scene, but maybe more importantly we can all be better at "excluding" whole scenes and conditions that are just not conducive to compelling images.

Thanks for another insightful video Nigel. An idea for a future video is to show some “work arounds” you have tried when you don’t have the optimal gear with you. For example, how you manage to get a shot when you don’t have a tripod in low light, or have the “wrong” lens for the “obvious” shot. Basically, demonstrate how you manage to still find a compelling composition and light when having the additional challenge of sub-optimal gear with you. If possible to do in the field, show us an “ideal” shot with the “ideal” gear, then how you would manage with a limited gear situation.

Hi Nigel, great video for myself just starting out. I would like to see a video where a camera phone is all you have to use as we don’t all have a Z8 camera, but many do have decent phones. I would like to see 1. how you get the most out of the camera phone with its setting, or using external apps for taking photos (if better than the in built camera app) 2. How you process these images to maximise quality 3. The print process and the maximum size the image can be pushed to for wall prints. Being someone who finds that some of my preferred photographs are unfortunately on my iphone (14 pro max). Either due to not having anticipated the need for my camera on an evening stroll, or not wanting to bring it on active outings like mountain biking etc. or unfortunately because my phone can handle HDR better than my camera…. I would love to see what we can physically get from our phones and how big we can print them to put on our walls. Also, Thanks for your commitment to this craft and helping us along on the journey.

Dear Nigel! I would love to have a video of how you travel if you have to go by plane. How do you choose what to take with you, how many batteries you pack/can pack, how they should be packed and, for example, when and how you can transport the drone so that there are never any problems with it. The description on the airlines' website is quite difficult, but you have more experience, I think, a video like this would help a lot. Specifically, I will be traveling to Madeira, which is why it came up in my mind, but it can happen in many other cases.

Would love a video in which you go through the evolution that led you to landscape photography, how you’ve evolved as a photographer, developed your personal style and how you view your creative growth moving forward. Thanks for all your efforts building this channel.

Another brilliant video! I personally would love to see your aforementioned drone and how you arrange photos from there. Some stunning shots with that!

I always love your videos, learn so much. I second the idea of maybe having a novice going along with you with you giving them guidance and seeing the difference between the two shots. Not to say one is better than the other, but to view the differences in perspective and composition. Also, it would be great if you did this same video, but changed lenses and showed how the final photo may change with using different lenses on the subject. I struggle with which lens to use and how tightly to crop in with the lens.

On location going though a few scenes working out and explaining your thought process in getting the best composition.😊

I would like to see Blue hour photography Nigel, it can be very challenging but also rewarding in the right environment.

Nigel, thanks for another fantastic video. I would like to suggest you shoot a video about how you predict the weather for landscapes.

Hi Nigel, really enjoyed the video I usually walk away learning something new from your videos. Anything on composition and light I look forward. Also always enjoy your photos and mentions of Lake Windermere. I grew up on Lake Windermere in British Columbia, Canada, which was named after your lake.
