  • In this landscape photography video I practice minimalist photography. I use my Nikon Z7II and encounter beautiful photography conditions at the coast. I made a mistake with my first composition and the next 2 were average, however the final image is the keeper of the morning. 10% off your first Squarespace website or domain: www.squarespac....

    Ahhhh, that drone shot of the sunrise happening above the clouds contrasted against the world you were shooting below was brilliant. Great idea!

    Final image is sublime. The muted colours, leading line of the retreating waves, and the subtleness of the mist shrouded buildings, gives the image atmosphere. An excellent image.

    I’ve found that the times I’ve thought, “I should go back home,” are the days I’ve had surprising success with my photography. Perhaps it’s because my expectations aren’t preconceived and I am more open to whatever I discover. Nice work!

    to help stop the tripod from sinking I used old CD's to widen the foot print from a point to a flatter larger surface and it helps. everybody has old CD's laying around. I carry three in my bag.

    Hi Thomas, beautiful video, it said it all. My wife and I live in Sheffield, about as far as you can get from the coast, but we both have a thing about the sea. Our last visit to the coast was to Great Yarmouth and to Cromer last March. I thought I wasn't going to get anything, but standing still for a while and just slowly looking round and the images almost formed themselves. It was quiet at both places and that's how I liked it. The weather was cold and a band of hale swept down the coast at Great Yarmouth and that raised the atmosphere still more. Photography was challenging because the light kept changing, but some of the shots would have looked so different on another day. It was beautiful.

    It must be really hard to come up with ideas for videos especially when you try to do one every week.
    I have to say that I admire that even if you didn’t feel like the weather was good enough for photography, you went out there and at least tried!
    I would enjoy a video with your thought process on the filming part because I know how hard it is to film yourself and try to get nice images on the photography side of things.
    I know you get this a lot Thomas, but thanks for the inspiration you gave me!🙏
    I’m having the time of my life trying to mimic (looking up on you) what you do in my own style.
    Thanks for that!🙂

  • @rolsonn

    Beautiful photos! I too arrive early to avoid the tourists walking the beach. I love the pristine sand and yes, I'll ask people to avoid walking through my composition. Many comply with no grumbling while a few complain and walk around me. I disappoint the dogs running the beach because I don't carry treats. However, still something magical about arriving before sunup watching the light dance across the waves.

    I think I know what day that was. I was also going to go to that same beach at the same time, but decided to head inland to the woods near Morpeth. You made the better call because the mist didn't reach very far inland and there was none at all by the time I got there at sunrise. At least I didn't put you off your filming though 😁

    More than likely, you've answered this before, but why not just crop in post rather than comitting to a sqare crop in camera? You''ve said with Canon the square is non-destructive, but Nikon doesn't offer that functionality, or have you discovered a workaroand? Did you actually fly your drone above the clouds, or was that stock footage? You may answer at your leisure. 😜
