In a chaotic world of pain, grief and sorrow, your film gave me half an hour of peace, tranquillity and inspiration. Thank you, Nigel, for bringing this world of snow and beauty to me. I can't wait for next week's instalment.
Thanks - glad you enjoyed it
Amen to that
Hi Nigel. I know this area really well, having spent many weeks up there walking, climbing or on my bike. That first spot you stopped at was proper plantation until just a few years ago with dense forest right up to the side of the road you were walking up. If it had still been like that, you probably wouldn't have stayed long enough to have discovered the wee lochan. The current landowner cut down all the non-native tree species and only left the indigenous ones behind (the few that you were looking at) and he is now letting that whole area return to it's natural state, which will take many years. It would be great to see Caledonian Pine back there in my lifetime. Hats off to him!
Nigel this current series in the Cairngorms has been one of your best ever, I know you Photograph all over the world but there is something about this latest series that's just superb, you ask for ideas for future Videos but seriously "It can't get much better than this" It's mind blowing content and quality that cannot be beaten, The best Photography Channel on TH-cam by a country Mile by the best Photographer, Regards, Colin.
Wow, thank you!
the photography side of TH-cam has to be one of the most wholesome
Haha ‘don’t let me take too many shots!’… when you’re taking shots like these… they are superb, each and every one of them. Nigel, please take as many as you wish! They’re bringing us such joy, capturing the magic of the moment. Thank you!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This Cairngorms series of yours is absolutely wonderful. What a beautiful location, adventure and images. Thank you.
Your enthusiasm is contagious!
I'm liking these ... back in the "NIgel" groove again!
Finding, capturing, sharing and teaching your peeps how to do see/record beauty requires passion. You rock!
Loving your Cairngorms series some stunning images Nigel, some of your best images you take and videos you make I always feel are in the UK your passion really shows through more. Your work is amazing and buy far one of the best Landscape photographers on TH-cam.
Great series! Although I have not done a lot of winter photography I've always been drawn to images of snow, in paintings as well as photography. Some very beautiful images in these videos.
That 24-120mm f4 is my favorite lens!
Wow - some parts of the world are absolutely stunning!
You make it all look easy but you REALLY DO work hard to create your spectacular photos, thanks so much for sharing the journey AND you wisdom!
A lot of nice scenery in this vid. Thanks for sharing them.
Gorgeous images, Nigel! Kudos to you!
Nigel, amazing photos, best video yet! Glad you found your trees!
Enjoyed it as usual Nigel. Thanks.
Wow! So beautiful! Thank you for this great moment of tranquility and inspiration!
Hey Nigel, I love Winterwonderland photo’s, so I love this series. Beautiful trees, Mountains, the wind blowing the snow from the trees was spectacular. Can’t wait to see you’re new video next week, have a good week.👋
Such a beautiful place and beautiful photos! Thanks, Nigel!
The reason the mountains in Torridon look bigger, although lower, is that you start at sea level, whereas in the Cairngorms you are already well over 1000 feet up. Also, the Cairngorm hills are much bulkier so the summit is often 5-10 miles away, whereas with the steep hills in Torridon you are only a mile or two away. If you want dramatic mountain views in the Cairngorms you need to work for them, and that means 10 mile or more round trips up the long glens that penetrate the interior. It's nice to see the Cairngorms getting some love this year though, Henry Turner was up there a little while ago too. I often feel they get neglected by photographers.
Another great video, Nigel! I love your enthusiasm! Thanks for sharing your knowledge and adventures with us.
Great series of shots. Thanks for taking us along, looking forward to next week.
WOW! Absolutely stunning conditions captured perfectly! Thanks for taking me along!
Loved the video - inspiring and beautiful. Glad to see you out and about.
Awesome photos indeed ❤
Fantastic conditions and amazing photographs Nigel, a great video
Awesome and beautiful 😀
I always love your excitement. It’s obvious you’ve got a job that you love, and it’s inspiring. Thank you.
what a beautiful day. dream landscape photography. so enjoyable and wonderful. so grateful to you, Nigel! 📷🙏🏼
What a day! I love your videos Nigel thank you for sharing. I always learn something new about photography which is great, but more importantly your passion for your craft is infectious! You having fun is the best way to start my Sunday! 🎉
Absolutely magnificent, Nigel! Not only are your photos and videos breathtaking, but your ongoing narrative gives us all a glimpse into how you seek out and find locations that offer such wonderful views of nature. Thank you!
Great video Nigel! I love how when so many complain about the difficulty of taking photographs in the snow you embrace it and get so excited about it! And the excitement yields absolutely beautiful results! Well done mate!
Another great video. Thank you for being inspiration Nigel.
Really stunning set of images. Thanks for sharing!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video. Very peaceful settings. Looking forward to the next video.
Gorgeous shots
You are a great inspiration to me and my friend who go out shooting together, we end up saying to each other now when were in that moment, the quiet moment, when we both say "it doesn't get any better than this". I do enjoy your teachings on composition but this series has been a great one for showing about getting out there and taking those shots, not being afraid to press the button. Love this series!
Fun seeing/hearing your thought process in a vast, chaotic landscape. You did a great job simplifying and focusing on several sweet compositions. Love the drone perspectives too. Thanks Nigel.
What a beautiful location !!! You stepped into another world. thanks so much for briniging us with you !! The shots were outstanding.
Superb Nigel. Thanks for sharing. I love photography too !
Amazing photographs, thanks for sharing. 😀🙏
Spectacular video my fiend,nice work!
Stunning!!! Beautiful photos that capture an incredible place. As always, a wonderful inspiring video 🙏🏼😎 Thank you so much for sharing!
Fabulous conditions and some beautiful shots. Thanks for uploading. 😊
stunning scenery and some fantastic images !
Excitement levels easy to understand for any photographer ! Great film Nigel, and more wonderful images, thanks for sharing with us! Cheers.
Awesome experience thank you 👍
Loved this video. It was great to see you so bouncy and taking such stunning shots.
I really liked the one you printed and would love to see in a future video how you process snow images.
Thanks for a great start to a Sunday
I know I usually don't comment on the videos, but I do watch all of them. I love these snow videos, love seeing the beautiful snowy landscape, the gorgeous trees and of course your fantastic images! Looking forward to next week's video!
Again an amazing video Nigel. Lovely to see you explore that beautiful nature. I love to see a video in the snow. You inspire me to take pictures from nature and here in flat Netherlands it’s inspiring to see you scouting the mountains. But here is also fine nature. Thanks and keep on inspiring us.
Wow! This video really is a string of pearls of great images, one after another. Beautiful!
It’s so inspiring to share your excitement and joy at being energised by a beautiful landscape. Thank you for your video and the beautiful images.
I’m on vacation from Michigan in the desert and my friends are laughing that I’m choosing to watch videos about snow. But this was such a fabulous video. And the shot at 16:36 was spectacular. I feel the peace and the joy of that scene.
14:02 Nigel: "I have this fear of messing up now"
The TH-cam audience: "LOOK BEHIND YOU!!!!" 😂
ha ha - I got that shot...
Stunning images Nigel. Such a beautiful area.
Gotta love those headless chicken moments that happens when we’re out.
Sometimes it’s the most fun.
Thanks for sharing Nigel
Nice work Nigel. Beautiful photography and videography. Well done
Fantastic video and photos 👍❄️
Nigel - once again - BRILLIANT! Thank you for the inspirational vid and I'm looking forward to what you do next in the Cairngorms. Thanks!
A fantastic video Nigel. Thanks for sharing. I was out shooting on the same day as you - I saw you packing up by the roadside. What epic conditions we were treated to. Hope to get a video uploaded soon too, but yours are at another level. Thanks for the inspiration. Si
Magical Nigel 📷👍
Wow. Saving this for photography and videography inspiration. What a day and thanks for sharing!
Un régal, superbe !!!
Glorious stuff and very enjoyable. More please 👍👏
That weather! And in Scotland, who'd have thought?!
Absolutely fantastic scenes
What can I say but “Wow!” This was a beautiful winter wonderland. You really got a lot of excellent photos. This video had my jaw dropping. Great job!
Great stuff Nigel. I've learnt more from you in the few weeks I've subscribed to your channel than I've learnt in 20 years of taking photos. Just a thought for you - you really must head over the other side of the Cairngorms into Deeside. Base yourself in Ballater and explore, there are loads of places with gnarly trees to shoot. P S. "Lakes" in Scotland are "Lochs". 😊
Stunning photos, Nigel, fantastic scenery, and after half an hour, I am now cooler. 30degC today🇦🇺 Look forward to more snowy images!
Spectacular pics
Amazing conditions! Gorgeous images! I especially love the “Grandfather tree” shot. Well done!
Great little adventure you're on there. Enjoy the more casual approach to the images as well. I guess it makes your photography a bit more relatable. Your enthusiasm is an inspiration as always. Keep up the great work in 2024!
You did wonderful work with each opportunity. I can't wait to move back where it snows.
Another great video, thank you so much Nigel. You inspire me to get off the couch, pick up the camera and head outdoors.
Personally I always enjoy your ‘in the field’ videos the most, because it inspires me to go out and shooting! BTW, I received your Seascapes book this week, beautifully made, also very inspiring since I live 5 minutes from the Dutch beaches. Thank you for being my landscape photography mentor for the last four years.
Love this series...i could do with some of your chaos in my photography lol. Brilliant images Nigel.
Absolutely love snow!! and that print at 27:58 is a perfect winter scene!! love it 👌 we just havent had those conditions further South here in North Wales 🤨
Fantastic Video~ Beautiful photos ~ Loved the Grandfather tree. Nigel " I love photography ~ I really do" Yes, we can tell! Hope your back is feeling better.
loving the pictures
Brilliant 👏
What an incredible location. And the soft light is beautiful. Beautiful shots Nigel. I envy the snow in the North. Its been far too mild in the south. No snow 😑
I do appreciate everyone who puts in a lot of effort in making videos even though ofc it is to benefit from it :D
I also like the fact that as you mention in your previous video that taking the camera of the tripod is giving you more freedom. I am a photographer and lately more of a landscape (and bird) photographer, and i just don't understand this obsession with using tripod ALL the time. I sometime use tripod but mainly for long exposure and night photography, I even shoot with the R5 and 28-70 handheld at 1/8sec which is usually my preferred long exposure for waterfall.
I do admit that sometimes it is a must if you need to focus stack and maybe exposure bracket, but that with the latest cameras I find less and less important, the dynamic range is that good.
What I noticed in this video is that I find the shutter speed and ISO setting very weird, ISO 64 to shoot still photography at 1/8sec and 1/4000 at ISO 640, I am sorry but those settings do not make any sense to me :D Maybe you want elaborate?
I had exactly that problem yesterday. The mist and fog rolled in and I headed out to a location knew well. On arrival it was obvious that my location was almost out of the mist and fog. I gambled and went for it, with limited time I pushed on hoping to find the mist further into the wood. On the drive home I could see that I should have been on the other side of the wood for the 'best' conditions. However, when I reviewed the images i had 6 - 8 surprisingly good images that i wouldn't have had if I had bailed. Love this video. Can't wait for next week.
Loved your little dance of joy once you found your composition of the trees by the loch haha
I am subscribing!, as this was an enjoyable vid.
Truly a winter wonderland. There's a song in there somewhere. Nice video Nigel.
Good morning :)
Love that video - Having the right mindset is as important if not more important that the actual photography skills.
It helps so much to see your "thinking process" in these kinds of videos. You are human as well. You experiment. You rarely but sometimes struggle on the perfect composition.
I'm really looking up to your photography so it helps so much to see you explore.
For a studio idea I'd love to see "how to organize after a photoshoot" - like cleaning gear, backing up images, organizing the bad again. 🙂
Fantastic images! Your enthusiasm about life and photography shows through in your images. It’s a pleasure to watch your photography and videos! Cheers, Erik
Thank you so much 😀
amazing photos👌
Fantastic video and photos as always Nigel, amazing conditions. I really enjoy the "series" videos that you make, as an expat (now living in Germany) I´m also enjoying your journeys around the UK - but always wish I had started photography when I lived there!
Absolutely stunning video! Images are great. Truly fantastic 30 minutes of entertainment and learning.
Wolfgang
Glad you enjoyed it
@1:25 purplish snow. Love it!!!
Some lovely images Nigel, another winning video. We are expecting 37 degrees today and you’re trudging around in the snow. I know where I would rather be.
It's so good is not the same as it can't get better than this!
👍👍 The joy of early mornings, fresh snow crunching under foot, mist, beautiful landscape and your enthusiasm, put a smile on my face. Thank you for sharing.👴 What is the attachment on top of your camera? I keep on guessing but don't know. Cheers
Thank you for the inspiration Nigel. By coincidence, we were at Loch an Eilein a few days after you, and I got almost the same composition that you printed off. This is not by chance I think. It's because I listened to all your excellent advice.
Simply put I’ve said oh my word more times in 30 mins than I can ever recall I mean how do you describe this video??? Very emotional and moving ❤❤❤
Thanks Andy
I've really enjoyed this series of videos Nigel, I knew you were coming up to the NE Scotland, where I live, and hoped when we had the recent snow storms you were getting the images you hoped for. Although I think on the day of filming this video you were in danger of suffering from sever sensory overload! Some spectacular photographs, thank you for sharing. 😄
great video
Stunning location and beautiful conditions, great pics.....as Gavin would say, you're having a full on photogasm! lol
