I completely agree. Reminds me a little bit of the idea of junior doctors trying to monitor a patient purely on the physiological measurements coming from the patient monitor and the consultant saying look at your frigging patient.
I shoot with my histogram visible in camera display and delete anything not exposed properly. I do tend to gravitate to underexposure. I minimally edit on my phone for sharing on IG but afterwards I often wonder if the image is too dark. I haven't used a software program yet. I'd like to start. LR sounds like something I'd like. I don't want to get complicated. I need to start printing my images too so that will help me see what I'm doing and if I like it. Great video! A reminder to keep it simple.
For me, Mark Littlejohn is one of the few people who produce images that truly wow me. There is a deep beauty about his work. I am fascinated by the miriad of different ways photographers see things, each different from the next. Some are spontaneous, hand held photographers like John who’s art seems to come directly from his soul and other photographers are formulaic and precise, planning and executing and never without a tripod. But to have the ability to create images that evoke a big response in the viewer is a rare gift and one that we all strive to achieve. This video gives us an insight into the vision needed to create something special. Thanks Nigel.
These interviews are brilliant, and you are a superb interviewer. You let the other photographer do most of the talking, but I find your occasional interjections, questions and often affirmations, useful. “Creative editing” is a useful topic for those of us in the American Southwest, where bright, blue skies are more the rule than the exception.
Great addition Nigel! I really enjoyed this! The interaction was special between you to, both with a very obvious love and appreciation for the art of photography that shined through. Always one of my favorite videos of the week as it's Sunday early AM here in the Pacific NW. Your videos always bring inspiration to go find a photo. Even on a cold gray day on the Palouse. Cheers and thanks!
Can honestly say I never really understood what split toning was about but between you and Mark you have given me so much clarity on the matter. Now time to go and play with some older images and see what results I get. Thanks guys and loved Marks pragmatic approach and how you both see things. Awesome half hour spent on a Sunday learning new stuff 😊👍
Very well done Nigel,! Thanks for introducing me to Mark's work and his split toning process, very helpful. His work is right up my alley, I really love his style! Best quote ever "Reality is pretty much over-rated"! :)
Brilliant images and fantastic to hear someone say they minimise their use of tripods to what is essential and they look to have fun with their images. As with sport overcoaching and reliance on rules can stifle creativity.
Actually I've gone the other way with tripods. For years I never used one - either left it behind or lugged it around but didn't use it. Now I tend to use it most of the time. I've found it helps me refine compositions, especially now that I tend to do a lot more of what might be called "intimate landscapes", honing in on details rather than wider views. I think Nigel's tip of composing without a tripod first, though, gives you more freedom. Once I've got a general idea of how a composition will work I then use the tripod to refine it.
One of the best youtube videos I've seen in long, long while. Production values were superb. Just a couple of mates talking about what they do and love doing, nothing forced or jokey, or pushy and shouty, and some absolutely fabulous pictures. If I'd have taken that one of the ponies, that would be it for me. Job done, work over, chuck all the kit in the lake, couldn't possibly do any better than that.
Nigel, I picked up on your TH-cam channel over the stay at home orders. Work usually keeps me busy 10 plus hours a day. I have wanted to up my Photography and Post Processing skills for a good while now and finding your channel has helped me out greatly. You are so much more inspiring than most of the other folks out there. I thank you very much for doing what you do. Great stuff. I have always felt that the final image is your expression of what you saw and felt while on your journey to capture it. This video highlighted this idea and has helped me to get closer to my own style.
Thank you for featuring Mark Littlejohn and his split toning process. Such a wonderful set of moody and moving photographs. I learned a lot of incredibly useful information from this video. So inspired. Thank you again.
Mark’s photos are truly amazing, and I’m really happy that the one with the birch trees was shot in February. This really inspired me to go out into nature this drab and drizzling day!
I missed this video a few weeks ago (vacation) and I'm so glad I found it today. Thank you for another excellent video and for the brilliant collaboration with Mark Littlejohn. I really enjoyed learning about Mark's thought process in the field and his workflow. He went into such detail and shared tips that I can apply when I'm out shooting. Thank you, Nigel, for your weekly vlogs and for sharing your knowledge and amazing talent. Cheers!
Admired Mark's work for many years now and always wondered how he processed his images, I even contemplated doing a workshop with him just to see 😄 thanks for sharing. Love his attitude.
wow, thanks Nigel for a great episode and many thanks to Mark for an absolute refreshing approach and attitude to photography and the editing process.And what a photo to end on - sublime. Thanks again Nigel.....same time next week.
Fascinating behind the scenes look at what goes into a masterful photographer's creative thought process as he sets up and then interprets an image. Also a wonderful explanation of creative departure from "reality" using a photographic process initially boasting of its power present same. Really enjoyed the video and got a real kick out of the Scotsman"s take on photography/creativity/life in general. I am an American by birth but my mother was born in Wales and raised in England and my grandmother was from Glasgow so I appreciate the viewpoints of folks from that region.
I really don't get some people that say you can not do this and that in every kind of photography, and some of the bigger TH-cam accounts certainly do it. If we can do something like ICM, then we can also go into photoshop and edit until we like the result of our vision, add clouds, change colours, it does not matter. Post-processing is just an enormous tool to do something more. If someone does not want to use it, fine, they can leave it out. Interesting video, Nigel!
There's also the other side of the coin - people telling you what you SHOULD have done. Sometimes it can be helpful, but very often they're just telling you how they would have done it, which may create a different image to the one you had in mind.
Jim Turner haven’t seen it so much myself, but I will not doubt that 😅 People just don’t get that it’s art, so whatever you think is best for your photo you should do. I am just against people saying “don’t do this and that”, it doesn’t help a creative process. Everyone can just try to find their own style :)
Nobody liked Van Gogh's paintings neither in the era he made them. As Mark said, there's only one person you're trying to please when you're taking a photograph'.
This video didn't feel long at all to me. So much great information, glorious photography and two good friends spending time together. And the last photo of the horses - speechless.
One of the best you’ve done Nigel , love Mark’s images and love his down to earth attitude , been lucky enough to meet him a couple of times and listen to him talk , you and Mark made a great combination , very inspirational
This is so amazing! Thank you both! Nigel, I just love how humble you are ... I am a total beginner and I find ALL your videos so easy to follow and you are a significant part of my photography journey. It is so true that the teacher has so much to do with student's love towards the subject. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with the world :)
Wonderful information on a simple way to edit and create the mood - something I have been trying to capture in my photos. Absolutely splendid photography from Mark Littlejohn. Thank you for sharing his knowledge and prints.
Cheers Nigel, another excellent video. 9:03 every Sunday I get a notification about your videos and they're always informative and inspirational, keep them coming.
Enjoyed the video. It was packed with very interesting and useful information. Use split toning, but struggle with getting the exact mood that pleases me. Mark talked about mood when you take the picture, trying to keep that feeling when editing. So true, and it has an affect on the final photo. Thanks for spending so much time on this subject.
Another great video. Thanks Nigel. Mark highlighting that the newest gear doesn’t make the picture better. Brilliant. I can’t imagine how many people are stifled by not shooting because they haven’t got the ‘best’ or ‘newest’ gear! What about that shot at 23:00 🤯 ❤️
Nigel. That's some epic morning light! I was unfamiliar with Mark's work. It's nice to hear his thoughts and I will watch his channel, on-going. I like the "collab." Thank-You, Mike
Great words of wisdom, I agree with the philosophy of keeping it simple, go with your instincts when processing until it feels right and captures the emotion of the scene when the photo was taken
your videos publish at the perfect time, just after sunset on a Sunday afternoon here in Australia! time to wind down, relax and get some inspiration. I've been loving thew videos on lightroom and photoshop as i have tome to sit at my computer and have a play around! keep up the top notch content Nigel!
Hello Nigel - another great and thought provoking video. I had never thought of toning as a method of enhancement - injecting mood or drama into my photos. Until now. As they say 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder' and I've always taken the approach that if a photo I've taken pleases me - then that's as far as it goes. But then there is always subjective criticism and the opinion of other photographers better than I - to consider too. We all continuously strive to take better photographs - and post processing today in digital photography (in all its forms) I believe is part and parcel of that and is a science all of its own. Learning from others like yourself who give freely of their time to help us all along - is also a big help. So thank you yet again for a super video and one which has inspired me to experiment with toning in my own landscape images to inject that 'something' that perhaps they didn't have before. The horses shot is amazing BTW !!!
Hi Nigel, I really enjoyed the video they can all be 30 minutes plus for me when your content is this informative. Thanks to you both another great video.
Great episode Nigel and was very informative listening to Mark's approach to his editing. Mark's images and indeed the final image of the horses were beautiful
Only just watched this, really glad I did, interesting to hear Mark's views and ways he approaches editing. Given me more confidence to do my own thing on my edits 👍
Brilliant collaboration video with Mark and Nigel, two of my favourite landscape Photographers together! Great amount of knowledge shared from Mark and Nigel your a really great interviewer! Diane (Ex Press Photographer)
Thanks Diane... appreciate the kind words. I tried to research best ways to interview and think I am improving. Still work to be done though... Mark was easy interviewee
What additional information from the guest you brought with you. Many additional supplementary information and inspiration. Thanks again for your time and effort. It's a shame that I can't just come to the lakedistrict or scotland for a few photos from the Netherlands. Also a pity that I cannot participate in the workshops.
Thanks! I feel like it has opened a new world to me about editing that don´t need to be just editing to what my eye captured but more to create the mood I want.Wow. Say a big thank to Mark also from Sweden.
There's a great video on TH-cam of a talk Mark gave at an 'On landscape' conference, I think last year or the year before. He has a very down-to-earth approach, no doubt honed after years in forensics where being "dewy-eyed" probably isn't an option.
Storm photography hard to make a bad Ethiopian. Great coffee industry there. I wore out the rubber o ring on an aero press when they first came out and did not replace it. Maybe I should give it another go.
Your painterly post processing knowledge and Mark’s split tone knowledge are very inspiring. Both of your presets are definite helpful to find and take next steps to increase an own style. Cheers 🍻
What an excellent video. I seldom get excited about landscape photography. This is one rare exception. Well done, Nigel. I'm really enjoying your work and videos since discovering your channel.
Thank you for sharing this, I learntbso much and knowing you should do it for you and not what you think everyone else would like, as like Art, photography is all individual 🌿🌿
I just loved this video Nige! So good to listen to a down to earth normal bloke ;) His simple approach is a breathe of fresh air. Any chance you can show us how either of you straighten the horizon?? Please
Brilliant video such an easy conversation between two people who really know their craft and looking forward to split toning 👍🏼👍🏼 some incredible shots reviewed
So the image of the two horses which I’ve been admiring since MLJ posted in his ig feed was shot on this outing with you. Very instructive to see the light conditions in the video to compare with the toning. Nigel, thanks for the excellence you bring to your channel.
I learned so much here - just seeing this video 4 years after its creation....I was hoping to check out MLJ's presets downloads mentioned, and linked, but the link is broken. I just wanted to try them to help me as a springboard for developing my own looks... ah well. If the presets ever come back online, I hope you'll link to them again. Cheers.
I reckon some of the best advice in this video was 'it's a friggin picture not a histogram' - perfect way of saying 'look at the photo not the data'.
I completely agree. Reminds me a little bit of the idea of junior doctors trying to monitor a patient purely on the physiological measurements coming from the patient monitor and the consultant saying look at your frigging patient.
Yep - Exactly
That was my favorite quote of the video! LOL!
the histogram is vital....look at both...it tells a much better story than your screen, when you understand histograms.
I shoot with my histogram visible in camera display and delete anything not exposed properly. I do tend to gravitate to underexposure. I minimally edit on my phone for sharing on IG but afterwards I often wonder if the image is too dark. I haven't used a software program yet. I'd like to start. LR sounds like something I'd like. I don't want to get complicated. I need to start printing my images too so that will help me see what I'm doing and if I like it. Great video! A reminder to keep it simple.

Cracking video Nigel, love Marks attitude too as well as his images.
Great video Nigel, and its great to hear Mark talking about his work, his posts on twitter are always incredible.
Definitely one to save to my favourites and watch again with a cup of coffee.
Thank you Nigel and Mark for taking time out to produce this excellent video - thank you for sharing your knowledge, so appreciated !
Thanks Jane 👍🏼

Thanks so much! Appreciate the kind words
Superb 39 minutes, I really enjoyed the format, pace and production. It's great to hear Mark talk about his techniques and photography. Thanks!
Well Done. I enjoyed the information regarding split toning. "Reality is over rated". Priceless.
Best channel out there. Great job Nigel!
Wonderful information on a simple way to edit and create the mood - something I have been trying to capture in my photos. Absolutely splendid photography from Mark Littlejohn. Thank you for sharing his knowledge and prints.
Thanks for the kind words Sally
Fascinating guest and a very educative and atmospheric video. Great work, thanks a lot Nigel!
Wow - What a treat this is for landscape photographers. Marks photographs are absolutely beautiful.👌
One of your best videos Nigel. What a nice guy/photographer Mark is. Learned so much about split toning, Keep up the good work.
Looking forward to watching this. Mark is Britain's best landscape photographer in my opinion
Wow stunning photography, great insight and information too, nice interview Nigel, thanks
Thank you so much for sharing. Those horses are beautiful. ❤️❤️❤️ Mark’s comment “Reality is Over-Rated” made me smile 😃
Great collaboration Nigel, and great to see/hear Mark for the first time. Excellent all round.
Incredible photos!!! The horse shoe looks like a Dutch painting by one of the Old Masters
Wow!! That was so good! Thanks Nigel and Mark, that was perfect!
Cheers Nigel, another excellent video. 9:03 every Sunday I get a notification about your videos and they're always informative and inspirational, keep them coming.
Thank you! Love this one. Photography, good talking, beautiful nature, learning and horses!

Beautiful images from you both. You are a very generous interviewer. Thank you
This one is super, really enjoy watching his editing thought process.
Thanks for this vlog Nigel. I only came across Mark's work yesterday and I am very impressed and inspired. Kind regards Rob

Thank you to both of you for such a wonderful and informative video. It is so refreshing and the images are beyond lovely.
Great episode Nigel and was very informative listening to Mark's approach to his editing. Mark's images and indeed the final image of the horses were beautiful
I really loved this one. I hope you get a chance to have more guests to show off their techniques.
WOW!!!! THANK YOU,NIGEL....Excellent video and work!!!
Only just watched this, really glad I did, interesting to hear Mark's views and ways he approaches editing. Given me more confidence to do my own thing on my edits 👍
Incredible video Nigel! I really enjoyed it. Thank you!
What a great learning session. Thank you and I would love to see more of these types of lessons..
Another great and very informative video Nigel. Learning a lot from your channel. Thank you.
Great video, it was so interesting to see Mark's pictures and the way he edits them! That last shot with the horses is amazing!!
Brilliant collaboration video with Mark and Nigel, two of my favourite landscape Photographers together! Great amount of knowledge shared from Mark and Nigel your a really great interviewer! Diane (Ex Press Photographer)
Thanks Diane... appreciate the kind words. I tried to research best ways to interview and think I am improving. Still work to be done though... Mark was easy interviewee
Brilliant interview …I’ve got a cool shot of my cat … now going to apply my preset to some of my landscapes ! Thanks so much guys
What additional information from the guest you brought with you. Many additional supplementary information and inspiration. Thanks again for your time and effort. It's a shame that I can't just come to the lakedistrict or scotland for a few photos from the Netherlands. Also a pity that I cannot participate in the workshops.
Great video! Good to learn about split toning and see some of Mark’s amazing work. Keep up the excellent work Nigel👍
Best video I’ve seen in a long while. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Pierre
Excellent - a great decision to discuss post processing with Mark. Very useful video.
Thanks! I feel like it has opened a new world to me about editing that don´t need to be just editing to what my eye captured but more to create the mood I want.Wow. Say a big thank to Mark also from Sweden.
Exactly Helena! Good luck and thanks for the comment
There's a great video on TH-cam of a talk Mark gave at an 'On landscape' conference, I think last year or the year before. He has a very down-to-earth approach, no doubt honed after years in forensics where being "dewy-eyed" probably isn't an option.
Just in time to watch with a morning coffee. Thanks Nigel.
Storm photography wow I just watched with a cup of split tone Sumatra myself.
Storm photography moka pot is great way to bring out the depth of Sumatran coffee
Storm photography hard to make a bad Ethiopian. Great coffee industry there. I wore out the rubber o ring on an aero press when they first came out and did not replace it. Maybe I should give it another go.
Really great to see Mark. Hoping you both meet up again in the future
Great vlog Nigel and thanks to Mark so inspirational.
Your painterly post processing knowledge and Mark’s split tone knowledge are very inspiring.
Both of your presets are definite helpful to find and take next steps to increase an own style. Cheers 🍻
Wasn't familiar with Mark's work so this is a great video. Wonderful!
What an excellent video. I seldom get excited about landscape photography. This is one rare exception. Well done, Nigel. I'm really enjoying your work and videos since discovering your channel.
Thanks Craig
Thank you for sharing this, I learntbso much and knowing you should do it for you and not what you think everyone else would like, as like Art, photography is all individual 🌿🌿
I just loved this video Nige! So good to listen to a down to earth normal bloke ;) His simple approach is a breathe of fresh air.
Any chance you can show us how either of you straighten the horizon?? Please
A Father Ted reference 😂 I love Mark’s laidback attitude to postprocessing, tripods, and everything else. Great interview, Nigel!
i really love this tutorial it really help me a lot
i was not using split toning but now i'm definitely going to use it
Thank YOU!
Master class! I learned a lot, from attitude to craft! Thanks a lot!
Fantastic video Nigel, kept my interest from start to finish 🙂
I got a lot from this video particularly the passion from MLJ. Many Thinks Nigel
Brilliant video such an easy conversation between two people who really know their craft and looking forward to split toning 👍🏼👍🏼 some incredible shots reviewed
Fantastic photos! Thank you for this video
Really interesting discussion and thanks for the presets
It's refreshing to see that even the pros' printed photos are different than their onscreen versions!
So the image of the two horses which I’ve been admiring since MLJ posted in his ig feed was shot on this outing with you. Very instructive to see the light conditions in the video to compare with the toning. Nigel, thanks for the excellence you bring to your channel.
Yep - in fact I think I videoed him taking it 👍🏼 thanks for the kind words
I learned so much here - just seeing this video 4 years after its creation....I was hoping to check out MLJ's presets downloads mentioned, and linked, but the link is broken. I just wanted to try them to help me as a springboard for developing my own looks... ah well. If the presets ever come back online, I hope you'll link to them again. Cheers.
Great video, loved the banter
It was Mark who introduced me to split toning on one of his Lake District tours.
Just proves it all starts with the camera and then postprocessing and having the patience to do it.
Wonderful - worth every minute!
