Henry you put cameo to shame with that cod piece 😂😂😂. I've got to get me one of them😂.
Thank you for sharing that walk Henry. Love the sound of scrunching through the snow too.
Another great video. Funny memory popped in my head listening to you walk, the crunch of the snow. It is amazing the memories that flood back in. Thanks
Great post! Thank you!
that image at 09:50 from a previous trip is simply stunning Henry and one of the best winter images I've ever seen. Hope the trip back home to Lancashire wasnt too bad with the snowy conditions
Agree. Henry, what are the settings for this one?
That was 1/30th
Awww this is what brings me joy watching your videos especially this one, with snow on the gorgeous Trees 🌲⛄️while knitting my socks!
Absolutely stunning Henry! 🙌🙌🙌😘🤗
Memories visiting Scotland as a child/teenager absolutely wonderful!
I’m from Newcastle living in Wales!
I miss the thick deep snow ⛄️ from my childhood in the 60s
Henry, if you think that forest was messy you should see an Aussie eucalyptus forest, with messy scrub on the floor. That forest looked sublime compared to ours. At least you’ve cooled me down, 33degC today with high humidity. Superb country! Took me back to the time when living in Austria, and walks in the snow on days like this one. Loved your images, and thanks for sharing this walk with us😊
100% agree! I think our bush is one of the most challenging subjects out there...I always think if you can find compositions in an Australian forest you can find one anywhere 😄 I'd love to see what these UK photographers would make of our bush, its a shame I've never seen any venture out here.
@@LisaFrostPhoto I feel the same way with our Vancouver Island BC forest. Very messy and loads of underbrush. Very hard to find a clean image. The fact that he can walk between the trees is something I could never do over here haha makes me work hard to be creative though
Enjoyable video, as always. Only watched it today as this one didn't pop up in my subscriptions last week, for the first time ever. Unusual. Love the snow, though.
I found your videos because I was looking for photography stuff, but even further than that your videos are just gorgeous little walking simulators. This one is the pinnacle of that with all the snow.
Thank you for taking the camera(s) out there!
Hi Henry, a fantastic video, buddy! Awesome these old phone boxes, aren't they? Here in Austria we have also still some standing around, but they are more used as a kind of exchange spot for old books. It is just: yours in UK look so much better, ours here in Austria are quite boring and not worth being photographed from an artistry point of view, haha 😆
And yes, I agree according to the shutter speed. It makes a big difference to the story of an image.
Thank you for the video and enjoy your weekend,
Christian
Thanks, Christian! 😊 Love the idea of the book exchange in old phone boxes-such a nice touch!
I was hiking in fresh snow today (Ontario, Canada) and yes, photography was challenging. It was great when the sun came through and filtered through the branches. It was gorgeous! But when the clouds came, everything looked rather bland.
I've ruined many good compositions with footprints 🙄
great vid Henry.
Cool video, can't comment on shutter speed, we very rarely get it in Southampton,. Captured under moonlight in the new forest in November, as there was some in the new forest after the morning's snowfall disappeared. I think under moonlight, f5. 6 30secs 16pp, other than that I think I tried fast and slow shutter speeds in 2019, the last time we saw it. Great pics Henry. I would have been going nuts with my camera especially the tree shadows, lol. Great work once again
I think shutter speed all depends on how fast the snow either falls or blows in the scene.
I spend half the year in winter. I don't particularly have a preferred shutter speed other then saying I always liked playing with motion. One of my favourites was a shot I took of my late dog, a Siberian husky, standing tall and proud on a crest, front long into a snowstorm. It has the same pencilled effect.
That swing in the snowfall could have been a nice shot. Did you take any photos with it in a composition?
I looked again at your videos, the long hike you took that I was referring to was the video after this video, not the one before.
Hi Henry, another pretty chilly grand day out thanks for sharing. When aiming for "snow trails", I think of it like astro and the shutter speed needs to be a function of focal length, but bizzarely the opposite way around, the shorter the focal length, the longer the time can be for a given length of snow trail .. so I guess what I'm coming around to is maybe there isn't just one shutter speed to use in snowy conditions, the idea is to experiment and see what examples you like
What a gorgeous video Henry, but let’s be truthful you’ve reached a new level of being an absolute legend with the Tunnock bar!
😂 so nice!!
Great video Henry! Just moments ago I got back from a very similar woodland (busy and covered in snow) and I struggled to isolate a composition in all the clutter. My goal for the winter is to get one nice snowy woodland image 😂
Calling for more snow all day tomorrow hopefully I'll be taking many 1/30 sec exposurea in the morning!
You took us on a stunning walk, Henry, and created some beautiful images. I don’t get enough snow days to have a favourite shutter speed for capturing snow but if this winter brings some I'll experiment with your two suggestions.
I look forward to your video every week. Thanks as always Henry.
Beautiful, beautiful! I hope to get a few snowfalls like that here in Illinois. For favorite shutter speed, it depends on the light and size of snowflakes. I probably range between 1/30 to 1/100. I also like to go out at night and shoot flash shots while the snow is falling. If the flakes are big enough, they cast shadows. Thanks for the lovely walk!
Another good one Henry. Perhaps it's because I haven't been to that part of Scotland, but that scenic view of Lochness(? ) at 18:40 was more than worthy to be a landscape image.
Living 500 yards from the North Sea we see little snow so thanks for sharing. You seem to be really enjoying your OM-5, I know I am with mine.
The woods you're walking through, with the light patterns bouncing off the snow and trees. Even though the woods is messy and cluttered. It does make for some interesting abstract images. This would be a woods I'd have my macro lens on my camera just to experiment with.
14:12 love this one!
What a splendid walk, I love walking in the snow.
We didn't get a lot of snow when I lived in Brighton and we haven't had much more since I retired to South Wales either.
My favorite shutter speed for snow...... I'm in the Deep South. USA. We rarely get snow. Would love to be there and find out. 👍
It’s got to be 1/1000 or a fast shutter speed to capture the BIG snowflakes ❄️ 😊
So beautiful, Scotland in the snow! Love it! I don't have a favourite shutterspeed for snow. In my opinion, this can be different per image. Sometimes I'd like a bit a longer shutterspeed to get the sketch-like feeling, sometimes I really like to see every single snowflake.
Totally agree!
Henery, great video took me back to my days when I lived in Scotland. Shutter speed and snow…. For me it depends on several factors including: Size of the flakes, intensity of the snow fall, and what effect I am striving for in the image. My opinion, stay flexible and let the scene/environment dictate the shot settings…. As always, keep snapping!
Hiya mate! I personally haven't been to Drumnadrochit (blimey the spellchecker recognised it!) But my in-laws have. Its all beautiful up there anyway!😊
I love how you are out in all kinds of weather. It's inspiring. Your tree photos are fantastic. Such character. But then, I do love trees.
I don’t have snow here in the Caribbean but I experiment with rain! Love your lightheartedness!
Loved this! Could you do a video on how to handle camera equipment in snow? Keep it up man
I love the sound of Henry Hooves in the snow! I can’t believe you would even consider not going out in that beautiful weather! We very rarely see snow here in Atlanta, so I am truly enjoying this video!
I have to say your clothes look pretty wet… But, every image is beautiful!
Thanks, Henry! Oh, I received my calendar…
Sean
I enjoyed the video as usual Henry.
Wow definitely fantastic conditions.
Around that area there are some great woodlands.
Great image's as usual mate.
Catch you on the next one.
Great video Henry, as usual!! Reminded me of my life in Norway during the 70's and early 80's.
Yep, where I live, no snow, however the Victorian High Country starts less than two hours away but it straight up mountains and dangerous often roads closed and costly in the ski season to get in. Pick when to go.
Hello Henry, I don't get any snow where I live unfortunately. Many years ago I was on a bus tour through England, Scotland and Wales, and we stopped off at Drumnadrochit (apologies if I spelt it wrong). Great photos.
I don't have a favorite shutter speed. I use a low power flash to freeze some flakes near the camera. I think it looks quite nice.
Well done Henry another Fab video. In my opinion dark chocolate Tunnock bars are the way forward
What a treat to see some decent snow Henry. Looked like you had a good days walk there.
Just looking at your Decembers image on my 2024 calendar as your image at 9:44 here caught my eye. Same shot?
1/30 sec is my 1st choice when trying to capture falling snow.
Same shot mate!!! good spot
Henry, another fantastic venue for winter wonderland photography. Excellent opportunities, also love the square crops.
No snow here in Perth Australia Henry, but I remember the cold haha... fabulous video , I shared it with my sister in UK ...more please
Fantastic atmosphere, lovely conditions ❤
cracking video Henry. I have spent some time in Drumnadrochit lovely little village. some very nice images too.
I rarely (if ever) use Shutter priority for landscape photography but I do regularly use Manual mode with Auto ISO. This allows for full control of shutter speed and depth of field, as long as it's not too bright.
I rarely use shutter priority, but do use manual mode and various shutter speeds in snowy conditions .
Cheers for another interesting vlog Henry! I can't really answer your question though, snowy landscape photography in southeast England is quite a niche subject and I can't remember the last time I had actual snowfall whilst being out with my camera! You have me thinking though, how about using manual mode and auto-ISO? That way you can set your aperture and still play around with shutter speed. Have a great weekend!
manual and auto iso is a great way of doing it!
My home village! So surreal watching you walking around my home town. Great vid as always Henry and glad you got to experience it at it’s wintry best!
So cool!
Great video and winterly conditions 👍🙂❄️
Thanks 👍
@HenryTurnerphoto 👌👍
Great winter wonderland video Henry with lovely photos 😍
🌨️ great video. Like the first of the group tree shots 😊. Links very well to the 2024 December calendar picture.
Super snowy location. 1/30th sec for snow is my favorite.
Cracking video as always Henry -Shooting in snow can be difficult exposure wise
Another cracking video Henry, loved all the images, so simple, nothing complicated 👍👍
Fun video, as usual, Henry. Regarding your question about "go to" shutter speed for snow, I have to say I don't really have one. Like anything else that's moving, there are so many variables: how fast is it moving, in what way is it moving, what's the lighting like, how big are the flakes, and most importantly, what is the effect I want for that specific shot? A light snowfall of great fluffy flakes in still air with no wind, where they're just floating down gently, is very different to small flakes blowing across in a stiff wind. So I end up doing exactly what you prescribe: take several experimental shots at various speeds, and see which speed produces what I had in mind. Sometimes it's 1/30" (or possibly even slower) but more often it's closer to the vicinity of around 1/100". I just try to get a good selection of possibilities, find a general shutter speed range for the conditions, and then sort them out when I get back to the computer. Thanks for putting out such consistently good content!
Thanks so much! 😊 Totally agree-there’s no one-size-fits-all with shutter speed, especially in snow. Sounds like you’ve got a great approach to experimenting and adapting to the conditions. Love hearing your thought process, and I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos. Cheers for the support! 🙌
Can't decide if you were on the Great Glen Way there. But it goes through beautiful woodland northwest of Drumnadrochit.
Snow seems to be more and more of a rarity these days - I wish I had more opportunities to shoot in it.
This is beautiful! I'll have to get back to you re: snow shutter speeds the day I ever see falling snow. Not much around here in Australia.
How often do you see something in the background when you're editing a vlog and think to yourself that you might have missed a really good composition?
A lot!! haha, there must be a different mindset when evident the video vs being out
@@HenryTurnerphoto I think so. It's like writing: I never noticed typos on my blog until after I clicked post.
Currently living somewhere that doesn’t get any snow, I appreciate the winter adventures.
I bet in a few days here in Estonia we will have the same amount of snow, the ground is already white, but not as thick as where you live at, but man it's cold already, snow is frozen to the car
Another quality video and great content Henry 👍🏻
Thanks!
I really miss the snow. It never snows where I live in Australia.
it depends but i do like 1/30th when its snowing
Great vid Henry.
This wasn't the 20th November by any chance? Binned my car 1 mile outside Drumnadrochit that day and the conditions were exactly like this! Enjoyed your video despite the flashbacks 😂
I think it was!!
What an inspiration! Now, if it would only snow here in New Scotland. ;-)
Another 'niche question' after hearing the snow crunching underfoot - if you could photograph a sound, what would the sound be?
Tough one!!
It looks like what I woke up to in Massachusetts this morning.
How far do you typically hike on your average outing. The video prior to this one where you hiked in the Lake District you went up a mountain. It seemed like you must have walked 10 miles.
No snow here where I am in Scotland unfortunately :(
4:09 🥶🥶🥶
Just started snowing here where I am in Ontario. Do you miss those Canadian winters?
I do!!
5:15 what was wrong with that comp 😊
Henry, please consider putting the selfie stick in front of you. We don't mind seeing where you've been, but more importantly: Constantly walking and twisting your body to the side and back to talk to us will absolutely cause hip and knee damage and may cause lower back pain as well. As i said, we don't have to see where you're going, and not if it's going to end up hurting you.
👍📷😎
Hello 👋
What is your camera?
Er… try 1:18 into the video 😂
👏🏻👍🏻😊
Black and white man!
All that down is wet
i always watch your vids - but i cant be doing with the sound of boots on snow crunch - not you its me. managed 8 mins. Soz.
