    Never thought about a vertical panorama. Thanks!

    I've found that portrait orientation (more than landscape) tends to trigger "motion" in my viewing and where my eye goes. In other words, if you want to emphasize depth and "travel" for the eye, portrait orientation often seems to work better. Great points!

    Another great production Mr T'... and I have to say- you're a natural in front of the camera- never mind behind it !
    BBC4 should hire you to make a nature/rambling/photography show... :)

    Just a little bit further south on the same coast you were filming (Conder Green / Glasson area) I was hunting for Rag Worm for sea fishing bait when I suddenly sunk to my hips in quicksand, not a pleasant experience but help was on hand to drag me to safety. I literally took one step from safe sand into attempting a disappearing act !!

    Thanks Henry for sharing your experience with interesting comments....as a hobbyist I still struggle using Manual mode & find that I get frustrated & take too long getting the ideal photo so I generally turn to 'A' or 'S' priority....or just leave on Auto ... cheers from Australia 🦘🦘😊

    Henry. As a fairly new starter to landscape photography I can admit to a few of the ten mistakes you mention. But, thankfully with help and tips I learnt from yourself via TH-cam, and our recent 1-2-1 in North Yorkshire I feel most of the ten mistakes are now gone. With that in mind I would recommend any one in the same position as me a few months ago to book a 1-2-1 with Henry. He helped me improve my composition, and got me using manual settings (which I use almost all the time now) He is full of empathy, and will not rush you to take photo. He will give you advice around looking around the scene before to you decide on your composition. Tonight’s video really does highlight the things he can help you with to improve your photography.
    Thanks for another great and informative video Henry.

    As a beginner you can definitely take the popular, obvious, easy photos, as long as you don't expect it to be more than the same photos that everyone else has taken. It's just a bit rewarding to be able to get a nice looking photo, even if it's not unique in any way. It's when you have to work to find the photos that you get to find your own style and get the unique photos.

    I am generally using my iron skillet tripod but on occasion I'm back to my 30yr old light weight tripod . Great stuff you turned me onto the z7 verses d850 .
    I'm still concerned about sunrises with a mireless but I like catching the clouds turning pink before the sun breaks the horizon .
    And for sunsets the same thing .
    I'm going from a petax film to canon dslr and now the nikon z7 in a team of the D850 .
    Great job 👍

    Another well-deserved thumbs up Henry.
    Regarding point two, I envy those with normal vision, I'm a strong Deutan so need powerful sunlight and bold colours to get excited.
    So it's a bit lucky that my passion is for motorsports, custom and classic cars and generally car shows and race meetings are held well before the golden hours.
    Having said that, I love watching your trips into Cumbria, Scotland etc, I can't walk the hills anymore.
    Besides that, you're always a good natter 🙂

    No. 8: The Tripod! I'm biased here as my beginning in photography 50 years ago began with a 3-1/4 X 4-1/4 Graflex, a Weston II lightmeter AND YES a tripod that was a beast made of multiple part legs of wood and big metal compression clamps that my father used for his 5 X 7 & 8 X 10 Deardorffs. I would agree and further say that for a beginner (and we're talking about someone who is at least somewhat interested in developing skills) the tripod is not debatable it is a MUST! It performs at least 2 functions right away: One, it forces you to be patient and thoughtful about what you're about to photograph and without it, it's all too easy to just point and shoot. Two, it's the quickest way to begin learning the discipline of composition because, in taking time (patience) and being mindful of what you're looking at, all the machinations of height adjustment, aspect, tilt, swivel etc. become each more important. The importance of that for the beginner is that it makes them consider more than just, "Oh that's pretty, CLICK!" and moving on. All the time taken to get the shot on a tripod allows for the beginner to begin asking the important questions: Why is this scene pretty? What things am I seeing that contribute to that prettiness and what things don't contribute to that prettiness? What's the light doing? Should I move this way or that way? and more. After some time ONLY using a tripod, those questions and answers become routine and begin to happen even without thinking about them. When that starts to happen, then take the camera off the tripod but not before. I still use a tripod 90% of the time, not just for longer exposures. Some photographers will only return to the tripod for very specific reasons, some never, but what they learn is invaluable and informs everything they do, in any style of photography from then on.

    I can imagine why you don't like going to that area, especially after something so horrible happened when you were only 12 years old. But I have to say, it is beautiful there, and I love the images you got. Good tips for beginners, I've definitely been guilty of a couple of those when I was just starting out!

    Definitely was guilty of tripod at chest height for a bit but as you demonstrated the change in perspective can certainly improve the composition in certain circumstances. As well as using the histogram before taking the image, checking the RGB histograms afterwards is also a good way of checking your exposure. Manual mode is a good way of understanding the relationship between ISO, Shutter Speed and Aperture too and shoot more in this mode than the Aperture or Shutter priority these days. Nice selection of images too Henry

    Henry WOW and once again you've got us glued to the screen with so many more tips than just ten, because it's also what you talk about in between that fascinates us and your incredible enthusiasm is so contagious. Your number 7 tip (wide angle, is the best lens for wildlife) and I'm 100 percent guilty 🖐
    I've got a 24 to 105 f/4, 100 to 500 f/4.5 to 7.1 and I'm realising that landscape or portrait mode combined with focal length, standing up, sitting down, laying down, moving to the left or the right can result in some spectacular landscape images. BUT I only realised this once my 15 to 30 f/2.8 arrived and I understood that although it's brilliant for low light, great photos actually come from what's between our ears and not what's fitted to our camera body fronts
    Henry we live and learn don't we and it's passionate friends like yourself, sharing excellent tips that opens our eyes wider than an actual f/2.8 lens itself. Thankyou millions for everything that you do to help us strive to become better photographers.

    Another great video Henry. Although I've been taking photos for 50 years, I have learned so much from you over the last year since I started following your channel. I was guilty of several of these mistakes and this video served as a reminder. I think another mistake many people make is always composing in a 3x2 format. I have just started rethinking this and my pictures have improved immensely.

    About #8. I an a Real Estate photographer.I am required to use HDR for my images. I must use a tripod when working houses. I like working with a tripod. It might be a crutch but I love the idea my photos are steady. I also use a wired remote for the same reason I use my sticks.

    Another smashing video, thank you. Your point about tripods is so valid. I have one for field trips and a smaller one that I put on a table to practice with. I found my settings changed because I was holding the camera away from the shot to look at the settings. For me the tripod is vital.

  • @alangauld6079
    @alangauld6079 ปีที่แล้ว

    Nice video, I’ve made a few of those in my early days. One thing I disagree on is golden hour, I’m really not a fan of those cliched orange coloured views. Mid day is too contrast but my favourite shots are taken mid morning or afternoon when the sun has a bit of angle for shadows but its still neutral in colour. And full sunset/sunrise, unless they are really spectacular, just make me yawn. But a good tripod - absolutely essential and the least important feature is holding the camera steady during exposures. Far more important is holding the composition while waiting for light or while taking “bracketed” shots(exposure or focus or panos). And as for wide angle lenses - they are for emphasising foreground and diminishing background. If you want a wide background take a pano!

  • @mikebartow9415

    I use the light meter initially but then use the histogram to tweak it. Finding slightly more than half are are ETTR ( exposure to the right) on the light meter, but not by much.

    Hi Henry, useful tips there, some of them I must admit that I've done myself and have learned to try to avoid. I must confess that checking the histogram is a bit of a pain for the likes of me in the cheap seats ( D3500 territory ) , as there's no live histogram ( I really must save up ).

    The thing I still struggle with is putting my live histogram up on the screen, as for the your last point about darkening the skies, whilst I get where you are coming from, as photographers we all try to create our own style to try and stand apart, I have a thing about dark dramatic skies when the clouds are right, so I tend to make my skies look as dramatic as I can

    I really enjoy your videos, despite 50 years of photography exprerience you have made rethink some of the things I do. I don't agree with you about the Histogram, it is a mathematical graph. Ansel Adams was one of the pioneers of it. He decided that a certain histogram value made the perfect photograph. The Histogram is a great learning tool in understanding exposure. Sometimes using shadow or silhouette to highlight the subject will according to the Histogram be too dark, fairground rides at night with a slow shutter will be overexposed in the Histogram. I love your style of presentation, keep these videos coming. You are teaching an old dog some new tricks
