Great new traveling office and edit room. Ty Nigel learning more and more about using the filters in editing.
You deserve all you earn Nigel. Im sure I speak for all of us when I say thank you for all you share!
I've been curious about your gentler style. It's much more understated than a lot of saturated and contrasty images online. Thanks for sharing. I'll be going through my back catalogue and seeing if I can put some of your editing technique to practice
Love watching your videos. Your enthusiasm is a great motivator. Love the Camper Van and I will look forward to seeing your video when its done.
I've been wasting money on Lightroom presets when this golden video has existed this whole time!
Nice Nigel - That'll see some adventures!
So very helpful! Thanks, very much, Nigel!
This was one of my favorite videos of yours for a number of reasons...you seemed very natural and comfortable--even more than usual. What I especially like was your tutorial on your editing approach, and in particular the painterly techniques and thought processes. Please do more of that!!
Nigel - you so deserve your camper van - looking very tidy in there !!
you have not to say thank you :-) you earned this camper-van because you are a good guy and you do so many to realize your dream. "who do good things will earn good things"
Thanks - appreciate that.
Definitely given me some ideas for trying a different style of post processing so thanks Nigel and love the van. PS - on NO account let Gavin Hardcastle inside your Merc van - you can see what he got up to when Thomas Heaton let him inside his!
dude... I always watch your videaos, and I like them a lot... but hearing that you got success enough to life your life as you wanted thanks to your channel mades me really happy today... seriously!! GOOD LUCK and keep doing this great work!
Thanks - so much!
Another great video and more superb images. Some excellent tips. Thank you.
Thank you for all the great videos.Your camper is cool
Very inspired and very inspiring !
Thank you very much for this video
I love this style. Thanks so much 👍🏻😊
You deserve every bit of it!
Master tutorial , thanks a ton for the inspiration!!
Great video, Nigel! I’ve enjoyed your photos for a while, so it’s nice to get a better idea of how you reach the wonderful final result.
Nice new ride! Keep up the good work.
This was fantastic so inspiring much content, I'm going to have to watch this a few times to let it all sink in. That camper looks great I want one now.
Great insight into your workflow process Nigel and love the new wheels. Hope you get your power issue sorted and look forward to seeing your upcoming adventures with your campervan
Really interesting and informative video. Cheers. Love the van. 👌
Great video, once again! Learned a lot! Especially the part about split toning.
Tip: If you hold down the shift key, the gearing of the sliders is reduced and you can more easily make fine adjustments.
Top tip! Thanks
Love your work👏👍
Very nice van! It looks perfect for going to different locations and being able to spend time there.
Hi Nigel, thanks again for another video. I love your camp-a-van! I can see it being a great support for you and all the work you do... I found your video really informative and I’m gonna try add more drama to my photos from now on... I seem to be afraid of certain parts of an image being to dark but they all seem to work on your images... thanks again, looking forward to next week...
I've been waiting for something like this for months. Thank you!
I hope Mercedes give you something (free optional extras?) for your enthusiastic endorsement of their van. 😊
Another excellent video that shows how much one can do with just Lightroom and no plug ins.
Have fun with your new toy and cheers from DownUnder.
Ha - Chance would be a fine thing
Love the camper van!! Great video Nigel!!
Lovely video Van Man.
This was a fantastic video! I can't wait to get home and play with these techniques.
Thanks for sharing your editing. Less is more it seems. 👍🏻
so glad i found your channel
He's so damn good 👍
Great tips Nigel! And the van is awesome. Keep up the good work!
Good stuff Nigel. Nice to see some of your images before editing too, and good to raise folks awareness of inspirations from artists, not just other photographers 😀 Van looking good, congrats on that. Good things happen to good people 😀👍
Thanks Andy - appreciate that.
I learn so much with your videos. Thankyou
Fair Play Nigel... you've done well mate 👏👌🙂
Great editing, I use lightroom just the same! I do use Photoshop on most of my images too though. The van looks awesome, looking forward to the full vid!
Many thanks Paul
Congratulations !!😉
Your channel and content is outstanding. I'm glad to see that it is rewarding for you too.
I found you on youtube today. Amazing Photos and Ideas. Thank you for that. I like your art, photo and videojob - and I like your way to be grateful and to be proud on your new campervan :-)
You deserve this! Thanks for everything!
Thanks so much
Nice van!
Thanks Nigel, I’ve been hoping you’d make this vid for a while. Some really useful tips. Unfortunately I now have a severe case of van envy! I’ve been looking for ways to justify a Marco Polo for 2 or 3 years now. Still trying 😢
Enjoy
Hi nigel , thanks for all very good help , have been trying to find in the. Multiple Q&A but nothing . Would like to know what is the plateforme you are working your pictures on the computer ?... please
depending on camera sensor and shooting conditions, I find luminance noise reduction is another way to get a painterly quality.
Very nice! But I do have one question.....who did you plave yourself where the histogram normally is located?
Congrats on the new van! I'm happy to hear that all your revenue streams have provided you with nice living! I'm starting out my own channel (I.T. related) to try and create some supplemental income. Safe travels!
Interesting as always... thanks for sharing...
You can totally see that he got up at 3am for that sunrise shot :D
👍 love the van and the editing tips
Nice video and good tips on how to make something different with your photos. I also hit the sub button. :)
congrats on the minivan and nice explanation of the painterly lightroom tricks! Cheers //Dave p.s. don't like the zipping and drinking... leave that to Morton Hilmer ;-)
I’ve learned so much watching your videos, many of which I revisit in my quest to be come a better photographer. Just wanted to thank you for the great content and inspiration and to say that success is usually 10% inspiration and 90% hard work so credit where credit is due, Nigel. You deserve all the success you receive.

Interesting. Do you use the range masks with your selective edits?
Sometimes - but didn't want to overcomplicate the video.
I am considering starting to print some of my shots but i don't have a colour printer and can't afford one for now. Can you suggest a good online printing service in Europe?
Unfortunately not - but if you look for ones that use Canon printers and good paper (Fotospeed, Canson etc..)
i noticed the element hoodie. do you skateboard or have you skated when younger?
I did skateboard when younger(badly) but that isn’t reason for hoodie
@@NigelDanson that's awesome. Element has always been one my favorites! Also, I'm jealous of the adventure van. That thing kicks ass
Great video, thx. Is that a thermos teacup?
Yep
@@NigelDanson Ok, which brand?
“Thats the cabin you know where you drive pretty much, yeah you just drive” 🤣 congrats man i hope it brings you many excellent adventures to come!!
ha ha
More videos on Lightroom would be amazing please 😍 I need all the help I can get 😀 brilliant vid again thank you. You really do inspire me.
I didn't fully appreciate the painterly look until I saw your actual prints in the 'flesh' recently, I was completely blown away by them almost like 'old masters' paintings. A big thanks for sharing your tips. Keep up the good work, a good luck with the van hope there's a space for Pebs?
Thanks Carl - they certainly look better in real life. I try and show that on TH-cam but never quite manage it.
You should do a collaboration video with Thomas Heaton, I feel like your both not far from each other, and your channels are both great. Nice atmosphere in your videos! 😁
We could have a race in our camper vans...
Three Peaks Photo Race (from the Campers) 📸 🚐
was thinking the same
@@benjaminthorpe7990 Really
Wow, best input since months. Actually I never thought about reducing the clarity 😅. I always tend to increase it for more drama...
I do the same thing. Big fan of clarity.
Sod the clarity tool I know it’s all subjective but for me it’s so crunchy and blurgh
I do however hammer the sharpening with a mask
Wow, this popped up in my feed and I’m so happy to find a photographer who is also a painter. I’m studying classical painting methods during my retirement which also led me to renew an interest in photography. Love the way you keyed the first image in blue/orange. Looking forward to viewing more of your videos!
I didn't expect a blue shadow tone. Somehow it has a very different effect from the usual "cinematic" orange-and-blue look that comes with those colours
Great video again, I really appreciate sharing the insides of adjusting an image to a painterly look. It’s also very good to see that your youtube channel is becoming more and more successful.
I looking forward to see more “Nigel-Danson-Inspiring-Videos" out of a camper.
Thanks so much!!!
Nice Video man, THX. Did you use 13" Macbook Pro for mobile editing? Or is this 15"? Thx man
Excellent video Nigel. Thank you for sharing your tips. Very helpful 😊
Nigel, love your channel and your videos are super informative. Can you explain why you don't prefer the color blue? Just curious.
Dude, I don't know if you are aware, but your clouds are orange :D nice tutorial though, not quite digging the style of your color grading. Cool idea with radial filters.
Dear Nigel,
Every time I see your videos and hear your advice, I also hear something else. The music that you send with your videos is actually worth just as much. I am curious who makes this music? You also send a lot of emotions with the music. Thanks for this.
Think it was best video.
It would be nice to see how you print...print proofing. Icc. And things like that
Love the video and adore painterly photography. Is it possible, Nigel, to get the painterly look with Photoshop Element.
Great video with great suggestions. Enjoy your van. It looks fantastic!
Loved it!! So happy for you!! Only Jealous peeps give a thumbs down.
Are filters the same as masks or is there a difference when you invert? or is there an actual difference? Lightroom CC doesnt have anything that says mask, wondering if it's worth just switching to classic lightroom even though I'm a beginner.
ahhh the faroe islands. what a great place
Great info, insights and video. Beautiful results. BTW totally jealous of your van setup!
If you made the videos 9 minutes longs you could call it “Nigel’s nine” I’m sure you could extend it a bit.
Great video - you should always film in the van when it's foggy for that nice soft light!
Yeah - it work well didn't it...
Nice motor Nigel, hope you have many happy miles in her. Love your work and looking forward to more vids👍
Awesome photos. This is an excellent video. Thanks for making it.
You always say you're just doing this rough and ready when you edit, and that's ok but I think it would be awesome to see a full on full length edit of an image so see how you take care of all the little minute details so make an image really pop.
Very nice camper van! Love it! 😃 Congratulations!
i LOVE your editing tutorials!! thanks so much.
Very helpful. Definitely will try and reprocess some of my images using what you’ve demonstrated. Who knew the world needed more negative clarity?
Thanks for sharing knowledge dear Nigel. Your images are brilliant
Excellent! Thanks for sharing these tips….👍
Good video; thanks Nigel. Sure do wnat a camper van!
Thank you Nigel for sharing your workflow....I really appreciate all the detail you went into. It's information I can actually use. Sometimes LR & PS tutorials are so complicated and involve so many steps I can never remember how to do it. Love the new van, can't wait to see where it takes you this year!
Really enjoyed this video. Some useful hints and tips. Sweet ride too 😊
I so want a camper van. I hope I don't get desperate and steal one. But if I do, I hope it's a good one!
Helpful tips and video...like to watch more like this
Hi Nigel, do you think it is possible to edit on a iPad or is it better to edit on a pc. or laptop thanks.
helpful insights on editing process- putting techniques together for particular effects a is an informative way of doing it
Nigel i love your videos even though I'm a street photographer! I have to mention that even for street photography with high contrast I always reduce clarity also. I find I can get very sharp images by adding just a tiny bit of the texture slider (+5) and reduce clarity by -15/-20. Love the soft overall look with sharp edges :) Great video!
Good idea - will try that on landscapes. I don't use the texture much.
You deserve all you've earned Nigel, your grind is admirable. Starlit van trip soon?
Thanks Alyn - appreciate that. Definitely!
Congratulations on your camper van! (I'd stick with the"clinical" interior myself however - clean minimalism).
Great video, Nigel. Just a minor technical question. At the beginning of the video you increased the exposure of the image (which I thought was underexposed) only slightly. When you then added a graduated filter to the bottom part and subsequently to the top part you surprisingly increased exposure again (in both). Any reason why you did not do it in the first place (to the full image)? Or did you only recognise after lightning up the lower part that the upper part needed a bit more, too?
I prefer to do the changes in the filters so that I can then move them and if need be change them easier.
Wish I wasn't colourblind 😔
