Cheers, Sam. Thank you very much! Great feedback too: thought it was just worthwhile to show everything ‘surrounding the shot’, rather than just the result.
Thanks Oliver - Your tutorial was succinct and helpful. Appreciate your sharing your grand images and the associated settings - most helpful. I was in the Tarkine last year and was blown away. I've learned a lot from all the mistakes I made (3 and 4 in your pointers particularly) and would just love to go back again..and again..again...👍
Thanks, mate. Really appreciate the feedback. The Tarkine is just spectacular, isn't it? Love hearing from someone who's actually made it out there. I've lived in TAS for about 5 years now and have only been up to that far corner 3 times. Certainly need to head up that way more myself.
Thanks for the comment, mate! Just watched your Skye vlog. Innnnncredible. Really appreciate your comment on persisting despite below-average looking conditions. Being too fixated on the forecast has turned into a bit of an issue for me haha
Having just bought a 12-24mm WA lens for my Nikon D850, I found your video tut really helpful. So all I have to do now is find a coastal scene in the Uk that is almost as beautiful as yours in Tasmania. Cheers, Maarten
Thanks for your comment, mate. A 12-24mm most certainly is still missing in my kit. They’re so much fun, congrats on the great purchase! And I’m sure the UK has plenty of good coastline about. Or maybe even a little stint up north? Scotland is surprisingly similar to Tasmanian landscapes.
Thank you for your presentation I use a few wide angle lens, fixed focal lengths such as a 14mm ultra wide,20mm ultra wide,17 40mm zoom and the 16 35mm wide zoom.I also focus stack some of the time. However I also use the 24mm Tilt Shift lens which gives incredible depth of field with superb technical sharpness which basically eliminates the need to focus stack. I have subscribed to your channel . Cheers Sniper Photography
Cheers, matey. Just watched your tilt shift video. Very interesting! Have never shot one, but heard much about them. The weight of them is something rather prohibitive for me...if there even was a Sony e-mount option out there! And have had my eye on a 14mm prime for some time though. Should come in spectacularly handy when the aurora is firing. Hard to justify the price tag for such a particular use case though. Great channel you're running. Look forward to seeing more.
Great tips, I have a question on focus stacking did your Sony do the stacking or did you take four separate photos and then stack in what ever editing software that you use?
Hi mate, I shoot the a7riv, which doesn’t do automatic focus bracketing. In terms of Sony bodies, I’d have to be using their newer body, the a7rv, for that option to be available. So until I upgrade, it’ll have to be a manual process.
A few thoughts 1 Be Observant * 2 Attention to detail 3 Take pics that you like, don't take pics to please others .. 4 Improvise adapt overcome 5 Take several images using the Camera's built in features ie if a Canon User SiA , 6 Not everything has been taken with a Glass filter or LE 5 Download the apps , Tides near me , Sunrise Sunset .
Regarding to technique #2: be very careful. In some situations, like taking pictures containing the sea horizon, we should take care about straight line of it. In case of wide angle lens, when you direct up or down - the horizon line will bend and looks strange. Of course it depends of focal length and camera sensor size. In case of full frame camera and eg. 14mm lens, I would avoid keeping camera other than perfectly leveled.
Fair call, mate. I’m willing to correct an easy horizon line in post for the sake of a more impactful scene. But completely agree: at a certain point the horizon bend will end up looking too off.
Great work mate. Glad to see you making videos and not just seeing the finished product on Instagram. Look great on a big tv screen as well!!

Australian content, a refreshing alternative to all the other ones on TH-cam. Keep them coming.
So nice to hear, Christine. Thank you. Yeah there aren’t that many Australian channels (yet!), huh?

I love your very structured presentation with clear recommendations followed by your implementation
Thanks for saying that, mate. Certainly noticed that taking a properly structured approach to my videos is the way to go.
Excellent video of our beautiful Tasmanian takayna/tarkine coast. Final shots are 👌🏼
Oh hello! Thanks, Tashi ☺️
Great pointers. Clear and to the point. You are a very good communicator.
That is very nice of you to say, mate. Thank you. If you have any questions or would like some pointers, don’t hesitate getting in touch.
That b roll is juiiicccyyyyyyy 😍 well done man 🙏
Why thanks, kind sir 🎩
Thanks for sharing your tips mate, really inspired me to go out to shoot more with my 16mm again! 🥰
Cheers, man! Ugh…16mm prime 🤤
Great to see some content about Australia with good tips for wide angle. Impact is something I struggle with. Thanks for a good video.👏
Thanks for your comment, mate. I did for ages, too. Fingers crossed my shared techniques help!
Rainbow behind you!
Glad you spotted it 😉
Great tips. Thank you.
Cheers, buddy. Glad you got something out of it.

Very useful
Great to hear, thank you.
I have a 14mm prime, manual focus. Yeah. If you hear any swearing echoing off of cliff walls, it's probably me.
Haha can’t blame you, mate!
Nice landscape area
Agree, mate. That stretch of coastline offers pretty decent compositions absolutely all over the place.
