  • In this video, I explain in plain English how to photograph waterfalls.
    Seeing a great picture style and being able to replicate it for most people are 2 very different things. In this video, I'm hoping to explain how you can freeze water and also turn it silky-smooth and milky!
    Whatever your preference, if you're struggling to understand how to create such masterpieces for yourself then this video is definitely for you.

    OMG! No one has ever explained the exposure trio so clearly. 3 up/3 down! All that money wasted on photography courses that never gave a simple guide like that???? You Sir are wonderful. My dyslexia understood your lesson from beginning to end. Thank you from the bottom of my heartxxxxx

    Your intro states I’m going to explain in plain English how to photograph waterfalls and boy you don’t disappoint . Sir you are a natural communicator and a joy to listen to as well as very entertaining . I have watched almost all of your videos and nobody comes near to you in the art of teaching . There is only one other in the same league in my humble opinion and he is Karl Taylor but you are entertainment personified.

    There are many great Photographers on this platform for sure including GG some of your Oppo's but for me (and has been said below,above or previously !) you are my go to guy, in no small part due to the way you teach and include Nobbers like me. Also and I might be wrong here but you are the only tutor I recall that explains the "3 Clicks" = 1 stop, which may sound minor but for me its attention to detail.
    Awesome vid Gary, many thanks for sharing, and helping others.
    be safe.
