The photo segues in this video were long exposure shots I’ve taken from around the world 🌎 📸
Amazing photos! I think my favourite is the Vestrahorn Iceland. Just magic.
Nice one Adrian very helpful thanks 😊
Happy to help
After finding & watching your D750 and D850 videos Adrian, I went out and bought a 3000 shutter count D850. Wow so different is some aspects to the 750! Love your work mate!
Thanks Greg. Have fun with the new beast camera 👍
Thank you Adrian, I'll check them out. Look forward to more videos.

Adrian Alford Photography easy mate always enjoy your vids 📷❤️
This is the best explanation of LE along with beautiful images . Thanks for the valuable information Adrian.
Many thanks for your kind comment and thank you for watching 🙏
Brilliant!
Beautiful. This was a great instructional piece Adrian. Thank you for your time and clarity on this. (No pun intended).
Glad it was helpful! 📸🙏
This is a great tutorial with beautiful images throughout. Bravo!
Thank you so much for watching Phil. Hope you have a great weekend over there 👍🙏📸
Great photos and a very thorough explanation for long exposure photography Adrian! This is a form of photography that I get a great deal of satisfaction out of mainly because the amount of thought and setup that we have to go through is usually rewarded with a great image!
Thanks so much for watching Steven, glad you enjoyed the video. LE is so much fun. Take care and have a great weekend 👍🙏📸
Super clear explanation; that was great. It obviously works because look at that line up of shots that you've taken previously! Amazing collection. Loved the location you were filming in too, with a great final shot to illustrate and beautiful sunset to cap it off. Loved it.
Thanks so much for watching. Really appreciated. Cheers 👍🙏📸
Really nice photo and great explanations step by step, congratulations!
Thanks so much for watching, I really appreciate it. Take care and have great day.🙏
Excellent presentation. Explained beautifully. Very useful tips ☺💐
Thanks for watching 🙏
Really nice informative video Adrian .. very much enjoyed it mate.
Cheers Richard, thanks heaps for watching mate. Hope you have a great week and glad you enjoyed the video 👍🙏📸
Great video Adrian. Absolutely spectacular photos and amazing scenery! Fantastic explanation of your long exposure process, very thorough! Loved the fact you spoke about back button focus! And even though it was geared towards Nikon users, I think it was easy to understand for those who use other brands. Have a great week, take care, and stay safe!
Thanks Paul for your kind comment. Yes absolutely other brand cameras can use these principals for LE. Except mirrorless cameras you wouldn't have to worry about the viewfinder closure being EVF. Really appreciate you watching, hope you have a great weekend, take care 👍🙏📸
Great tips there Adrian. I learnt something I hadn’t thought of before, so thanks. Great shots also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers Andrew thanks for watching mate. Have a great weekend👍🙏📸
Great Work Adrian and really great tips . Very well explained and great point about compensating for sunrise and sunset (+1, -1) Really great captures my Friend Safe Travels and thanks for sharing!
Thanks so much for watching my friend, really appreciated. Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have an awesome week, take care and stay safe 👍🙏📸
Great tips Adrian.👍 Some stunning images and beautifully presented👌Thanks for sharing mate 👍 Cheers, Cliff
Thanks Cliff really appreciate you watching mate. I enjoy a bit of LE always gives differing results creatively. Hope you have a great weekend mate, take care and thanks again. 👍🙏📸
Magical stuff!!! Thank you!!
Thanks for watching
Great video Adrian! Love the tips - especially regarding the under/over exposure during sunrise/set. Excellent example photos and very well explained, cheers!
Thanks for watching Paul. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Cheers and have a great weekend 👍🙏📸
Very inspirational!!!
Thank you for watching 🙏
Thank you so much for your videos, Adrian. I purchased a D850 in 2023 and couldn’t be happier. What lens were you using in this video? I purchased the 16-35 f/4 when I purchased the camera. Thanks again for taking all the time to help other photographers like me! Jim in Oregon
Thanks for watching Jim. The lens you purchased is the one I'm using in this video (16-35mm). Enjoy your D850, a truly awesome camera. Cheers.
Fantastic video Adrian, very in-depth but clear and some great tips too!
Thank you so much for watching Courtney. Hope you have a great weekend cheers 👍🙏📸

Awesome video , been away from foto for some years , but looking to buy the d850 even today in 23 , still Got some gear left . New sub 👍
Great video thanks for sharing Adrian with us to enjoy and learn cheers
Cheers Rod thanks very much for watching 🙏
The Wanaka tree 😍 I’d love to go to that spot one day. Long exposure NR is my best friend while tskijg stacked macro shots as well. Forgot to switch it to On, had been on auto and had to do so much clean up in post because hot/ stuck pixels left trails all over my stacked shots haha. Great tips/explanation as always! I’m looking forward to taking some long expos as well, haven’t used my Nisi filters for ages, miss it!:)
P.s the Neist Lighthouse, gtfo too beautiful:) great image Adrian!
Cheers Peter. Did you hear some clowns vandalised the Wanaka tree? I knew this day would come. It was out in the open and had become so popular that some t*rd had to spoil the party. At least I got to photograph it while it was whole. Yeah that Neist lighthouse shot, if only you knew what I had to do to get that shot in hurricane like winds haha! Talk about hug the ground! Yeah NR just zaps those hot pixels and I also notice it helps get rid of any dust spots on your sensor too. Should have mentioned that in the video 👍🙏📸
Thumbs up ere' Adrian, great tips on long exposure photography - one I'm still learning on! Great set of photographs from around the world. Interesting to know that you're coming into your spring and we are just starting to go into our winter season! Many thanks for sharing your work and info - stay safe :)
Cheers Shaun, thanks for watching mate. Glad you enjoyed the vid. Have a great weekend and take care 👍🙏📸
Wonderful tutorials and awesome photos. Thank you, I downloaded the big stopper app. :)
Thanks for watching. Handy app to have with you. Glad you enjoyed the video.🙏
@@adrianalfordphotography Yes, I am heading out this morning to try some long exposure of a bridge I like to go to here on the Mississippi River, I changed a couple of my settings on my Nikon as per your suggestions, it will be fun to see what I get. It stopped raining here so it is a calm morning to go out. :)
Great shots and great videos as always. Love you photo style, and teaching style.The timing of this was perfect. Heading out for some long exposure practice at a nearby lake. Thank you !!!
Thanks for watching Allen, hope you get some great shots at the lake. Have a great weekend 👍🙏📸
This video was just loaded with amazing images! It's awesome that you've been able to travel all over the world and take such great images. New Zealand is so on my bucket list to shoot! Great tips for long exposures Adrian! One of my favorite styles of photography.
Thank you for watching. Yes NZ is absolutely beautiful, a must to visit. Glad you enjoyed the video. Hope you have a great week, cheers 👍🙏📸
Thanks, Adrian for the very informative video! I learn something every time I watch. The tip on the under and over exposure at sunrise and sunset respectively was worth the price of admission. I was on vacation recently and I forgot to cover the viewfinder on some long exposures and ended up with some ruined photos because of light leak so that was a great reminder. Awesome photos as well!
Thanks so much for watching Walter. Oh yes the eye piece has caught me out many times. I'd be half way through a long exposure and then realise it's open and have to start again. I guess with mirrorless cameras you wouldn't have to worry about that with the EVF. Hope you have a great weekend, take care 👍🙏📸
Great shots my friend 👌👌👌👌
Thanks for watching 🙏
Cleaver tips here Ad. I don’t do this type of photography but i like having it in the back of my mind so when i want to have a hack job at it I’ll have some kind of idea what to do. Great video and loved seeing that under the bridge photo of Fuji san 🤩👌🤙
Thanks so much for watching guys. I put that shot of Fuji in there just for you. Have a great week, cheers 👍🙏📸
Well explained, Adrian. Looks like you've taken some pretty incredible LE's!! Good point about bumping the focus ring. It's pretty easy to do on Canon lenses, as well...not that I have done that or anything... ;) Thanks for sharing. Cheers!
Thanks for watching Jarrid. Looks like the same happens on Canon too. You normally only notice it's out of focus when you get home too in post processing grrrrr. Have a great weekend 👍🙏📸
Great video and advice Adrian. 😊 you’ve taken some wonderful shots! I’d love to visit those places around the world one day soon... I hope. Hope all is well!
Thanks for watching Rauri. I do miss traveling, but the situation is what it is I guess at the moment with the world. I was supposed to be in Norway now shooting northern lights if this Covid garbage wouldn't have happened. Oh well. Just have to make the most of home for a while. Cheers 👍🙏📸
Adrian, please have a video on minimalism in landscape photography
Hi Kaylan - I have done a video on minimalism in landscape photography. It's actually on the end of this video, bottom right corner to click on. 🙏
Wow...that shot at 2:18 is just phenomenal Adrian! That's on the Isle of Skye correct? We ran out of time when we were there and had to turn around just past Eilean Donan. Now I'm kicking myself for not allowing more time to cross over to the Isle of Skye! Excellent tips as always. I might just have to break down and get that YongNuo cable release if it's only $10 ;) Have a great rest of the weekend! Cheers.
Hi Rob, yes that shot is on the Isle of Skye. On my first trip to Scotland, the same thing happened to me, only I kind of lost my way after Eilean Donan and didn't think there was much over on the Isle of Skye. Boy was I wrong! Made sure on my second trip to actually stay on the Isle of Skye and I got some great landscape shots there. You can get even cheaper shutter release cables on ebay for the D850 for around $4 US dollars now. Have a great weekend my friend and take care. PS. maybe hang off on the shutter release if you're upgrading the D850. I didn't realise the D750 shutter release cable I have is the same for the Z6 and Z7. 👍🙏📸
I've just bought the D850 with 24 - 120mm as an upgrade from a D5300. Keeping the 5300 as second body. Always shoot Manual RAW. Looking forward to getting out with the new beast. Need to further hone my camera skills though.🤔
Many thanks for watching Mike. Enjoy your day/evening.
Adrián thanks a lot for your information Top notch 🤘🤘🤘please can you share your info about your cable shutter, thanks a lot👍🏾
Thanks for watching 🙏📸 Try this shutter release cable - www.ebay.com.au/itm/165210744303?hash=item267753e5ef:g:xygAAOSw5QZdXhJy&frcectupt=true
@@adrianalfordphotography Muchas gracias 🤘🤘🤘
Excellent images and a well-presented video! Something I'd like to clarify:
I'm not sure why switching to back button focussing would make any difference in this scenario. I would have thought that focus should be achieved before attaching a filter otherwise, yes, the focussing system can get very confused and start hunting regardless of whether the shutter button or back button are used to achieve focus.
Thanks for watching David 🙏
Hi Adrian, great videos. I ahve just purchased my D850 - upgraded form a Kodak/Nikon DCS 760! Yes I know, noah had one. I mainly used it in the studio with studio lighting. Have you any videos on a studio flash setup? Also, the Yongnuo time remote controller you mentioned in this video, is it a one piece item? I have tried to source one like the one in the video but appreciate this was shot 3 years ago, any suggestions please?
Regards
Glen
Gosh, if only we could get a hold of the Noah pics! 😀 Godox have some pretty nice studio flash gear, you can try search for that. Yes the shutter release is a one piece, but there are much cheaper third party ones like this - www.ebay.com.au/itm/166546884278?itmmeta=01HRRV4D0HA8Y47464M34VD57V&hash=item26c6f7c6b6:g:xygAAOSw5QZdXhJy&itmprp=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0KtgaNU%2Bb4QuQrF8FlTJcxlk5%2BrVwJErdJm2eZ9YSZJMf0rOOCmv5DxTcO7IfyfwMlJOUyhxXakPg837LrpiEncYsRnMPsAwK%2BtdE4pY87io6frOWLJ6Sw4bHe%2FyY30SqE7DPm3K%2Bx15cRX4xm3ix5hhXjr11p8%2FeS5gBoDzL5C65znKxeIhYsac259DAsHfrvze2sN91Jw7CVCYbRzwnJxDftVuuLxYNQZ4fzVLe2d8SJ2Y%2FOv1w%2B4sxLkNIYeXSzAW6D8mzwLAU02Y26SOBOc%3D%7Ctkp%3ABk9SR7DQkZvGYw
I loved this. Would you be okay to use the top horseshow to have a wireless intervelometer instead? I remembered in Iceland I had wired one on my canon 6D M2 and the wire keeps bumping if there is a wind or I have to hold it and it is inconvenience.
You can go wireless. I use a bit of velcro on my tripod leg and now stick the shutter release to it which stops any motion of the wire. Cheap and easy fix.
@@adrianalfordphotography Thank you for replying!
Hi Adrian, very pleased to watch you videos with D850. I am still using my D7100. in regards to your last photo, where did you focus on? the foreground tree. the tree behind or the sea? or it doesn't matter with F11?
thank you 😊
Thanks for watching. Yes that is right. I focused on the foreground tree. Normally at F11 the depth of field covers everything else for focus. 👍📸
thank you for confirming where to focus. 🙏
Hi Adrian. This is really huge help for me and I am loving your photos and vids. Im an amateur photographer but I am geared up for Astros etc and have been off Auto for a while. Im wondering if can you suggest a tripod _ I think your on a Manfrotto ? During this video you have said F11 - How do you find the best Fstop for your lens or are they all about the same ? You said that you got off the back of the camera 1/8 - How - was that in auto mode prior to going to M ? Sorry for all of the questions but Im super keen to give this a red hot go - Im on a D750. Once again thanks for this vid - its fantastic
Hi Pen - I do use a Manfrotto tripod, but mine maybe a tad overkill for the D750. However this Manfrotto tripod would be worth a look and you can get it in a range of colours like blue, black, red, grey etc.amzn.to/3oQIvmB I think you'll find anything between F8 to F11 will be fine for the sharpest images for landscape photography on any lens really. I use F11 a lot because it gives me the sharpest focus all the way through my images. Astro however is a whole different set up. You'll need a wide fast lens, something like a F1.8 to F2.8. I have the Nikon 14-24mm F2.8, but Nikon also make a superb 20mm F1.8 F mount prime lens which is just awesome for astro, especially on the D750. To get your shutter speed (like 1/8) you saw in video. Go to M mode, look through viewfinder or on back of screen in live view. Keep moving rear dial on D750 until the indicator gets to middle "0" on exposure scale. Then look at your shutter speed. That's the number you have to use to calculate your long exposure. Very importantly cover up the back viewfinder on the D750. When you bought it, you should have got a little back piece of plastic that fits snug over the viewfinder to block light getting in. If not, just wrap a dark hanky or piece a fabric over it. Here's an astro video I did th-cam.com/video/bYY8X4-8bJk/w-d-xo.html
@@adrianalfordphotography thank you so much ! Yes I did get the black cover and I have a ripper sanyang 12mm F1.8 wide angle that I use for my Astros .Thanks for explaining the shutter speed calculation for me - such great advice and I look forward to following you into the future and for the tripod advice - its been fantastic .
Great information for long exposure photography. I have Nikon D850, 14-24 mm, 24-70 mm and Lee filters as well but post processing is the key factor here. Can you please share the post processing for these photos ? That would be wonderful complete Long Exposure Landscape Photography Technique !! Thank you.
That's a great idea for a video Anil. Is it ok if I use your comment at the start of the video to say, "I had a request so I'm doing a video to show how I do post processing of my long exposure shots." I can blur out your name if you want. Thanks Adrian 🙏
@@adrianalfordphotography Thank you Adrian. It would be awesome to start a video for post processing. No need to blur my name. I am following your each and every video. Great information 🙏
Thank you for your explanation and congrats on your beautiful photos Adrian. I am a newbie to long exposure photography and I have a question. When it comes to keeping the shutter open for X seconds; does it mean that I have to keep the cable shutter button pressed until the timer in the App hits Zero? Not sure about this yet. I have a Z6 and a simple remote cable. Thanks for your help!
Thanks for watching Yo. Yes you have to keep the remote shutter button pressed in. However, most of these remote shutter release have a lock on them. So when you push in and slide up it keeps it pressed in for you in case you need to let it go and go do something else. Then come back and unclick to let the shutter close again. Cheers 🙏📸
@@adrianalfordphotography Thank you so much Adrian!
Wonderful images, Can we use focus stacking with long exposure?
Thanks for watching. In theory, yes you could use focus stacking for long exposure. I don't though, just a preference thing. Have a great weekend 🙏
@@adrianalfordphotography Thanks,you too👍
May I ask what the model number is on the shutter release?Thank you love the channel getting my D850 this week.
Hi thanks for watching, much appreciated. You'll love the D850, great camera. As for the shutter release, you can actually get cheaper ones than mine now for around $4 US dollars. Just search on ebay "Nikon D850 Shutter Release Cable" you'll find heaps there, just take your pick. I think it's a 10 pin connector at the front of the camera. 🙏
Cash you explain why in many of your long exposure images you use a ten stop filter and not a six or four when there’s no physical sun in the image? In other words instead of lets say a 4 minute exposure you could have a two minute one! Great informative video and I subscribed just now, Thank you.
It all depends on what I'm photographing. I find using the 10 stop ND a happy mid range filter for long exposures, especially during sunrises and sunsets. Sometimes I find anything under 10 stops does not give me enough long exposure time and anything over 10 stops is too long. I also have 3 stop ND I use for waterfall shots. In this video you would have seen shots from around the world I've taken using both a 6 stop and 10 stop ND filter, so I don't just use a 10 stop all the time. I appreciate you watching, commenting and subscribing, thank you very much 🙏
Adrian Alford Photography I noticed that when viewed in the original image on the back of the camera 📷 there was no saturation but after you placed on the ten stop Nd and showed us the image there was beautiful deep saturation in the image! Was that the reason for you making long exposures (excluding smoothing the water) in other words does the long exposure give you the saturation or did you do that in Lightroom or photoshop?
The ND does help a little in saturation, the rest is in post processing.
Just curious if you would also recommend the mirror lockup? Pro’s con’s?
Hi Jeff - by shooting in live view on the D850 the shutter is not activated, so I don't get any shutter shake in LE. You can use mirror lockup if looking through a viewfinder if you wish to get same.
Hi can you please link me the exact Nd filter you are using in your video at around 6 min ! The 10 stop ND filter thank you!
Lee Filters Big Stopper (100x100mm). You can buy cheaper 10 stop ones from Haida that do just as good a job.
@@adrianalfordphotography thank you so much !
Which lens were you shooting with
Nikon 16-35mm F4 VR lens
If only getting one ND filter which one will you suggest?
10 stop ND is the one I use the most.
Morning is this channel your main job ??
Darren Ridsdale Im a photographer first, but my channel is growing fast so who knows what the future holds.
Adrian Alford Photography I’m trying to get in photography as a job my job is a site labourer but wanted to be a photographer since I was 14 bought all my kit over last few year and a Nikon d850
Darren Ridsdale little secret. Check out the photographers in your area. Work out the type of photography that is least available to the public. Like pet photography, head portrait shots only etc. Specialise in that one type of photography only and become really good at it. Then you get hired a lot more.
Adrian Alford Photography I got some amazing photos but it won’t let me share on here
Mirror less I know a lot who have dust on sensor after every shoot 😡
Yes I hear that a lot Darren. I guess you can fix that in post processing but it can be a pain. I'm hoping Nikon and Sony eventually adopt what Canon have done with their mirrorless EOS R and R5 where the shutter closes while changing lenses (but I doubt it).
