Great tips! To all the people complaining about his use of the Hasselblad camera - you can frame exactly the same compositions using a regular camera and lens. No need to cry abou it.
@@RichardTaylorFrank They've spent years providing pretty much free education and entertainment, so they absolutely deserve these cameras. If you see that as elitist, that's on you. Personally, I'm not against elites, as long as they're impressive and deserving-and Nigel certainly is. Good for him.
Nigel , the subject I’ve been waiting for you to video ! Well done my friend it’s always good to see different perspectives and what you can do with what on its face were relatively difficult conditions light wise and subject wise but by using simple objects up close such as rocks trails or grasses it works ! Best …
Correct, the use of the wide angle lens is not learned from night to the morning, it is a long time we need to make good photographic compositions. By the way, grateful for sharing your knowledge. Greetings from Florida
Very good lesson! A clever piece of advice using your phone to frame your image to know where to start with your main camera (and tripod). What a time saver! Beautiful images too! 👍
Thanks Nigel for sharing your advice about wide angle lenses. Like you mentioned it’s not easy, but I´m trying to shoot more and more at wide angle (I prefer long focals, so it’s a total opposite for me). Beside, I don’t get it why there is so much angry reactions in the comments, just because he is toying with an Hasselblad? As long as the 25min of video, I didn’t noticed it was about a sponsoring. He could use any other camera brands, the subject was « wide angle shot ». And that’s precisely what was coverded in this video. It the only reason I follow photograpers like him: they talk about their passion for photography first, and camera gear in second.
The fist shot is perfect! I think we can overthink shots too much. It would be great on any media advertising the Lake District. So many wide-angle shots overemphasise the foreground and look weird, your first shot looks ‘normal’ - just as you almost might see it with your eyes. But overall the video makes us focus on composition, which is the most important thing in a pleasing photo. And as another comment has said, “please, no more Hasselblads”!
Thanks Nigel. I just got a super wide lens for my apsc nikon and I'm off to Snowdonia in a week or so! Your timing is perfect and your tips really well explained. 👍
Hi Nigel, the right moment to get good tips from you in handling foregrounds using a wide angle lens. A few months ago I bought a Z6III and a Z 6 17-28 mm F2.8 lens. This lens was a real discovery of experimenting with perspectives, as I normally use the Z6 and the Z 24-70 f4, and the Z 24-200 f 4-6.3. Your story now confirms my interest in widening perspectives by going closer to the foreground and telling othere stories with my landscape images. Bert.
Always like when you cover wide lenses - recently shot some coastal sea scape stuff and the two final images I chose I really thought about the foreground, middle and background from your previous compositional episodes - one is clearly stronger due to having a really decent set of leading lines where as the other one that’s not as strong isn’t quite there, super simple tips to improve your landscape photography explained well
Wow, never seen so many whiners because of the use of a specific camera brand. I watch this channel for other reasons than what gear is used but a lot of people seem very upset. Don't know what's wrong with them, but I guess they're jealous. Thanks for sharing Nigel, another great video! I'm thankful for all the effort you put in your videos, I've learnt so much from this channel. And I don't shoot Hasselblad or Nikon.
I love this video. You have done an excellent job of finding the most exciting compositions. I’ll be using your thoughts with my wide angle on my Nikon D850. Thank you! As far as I’m concerned, your commentary works for any camera with a wide angle lens👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Another excellently thoughtful, practical video for us Nigel. Thank you. When is the next camper van update planned for please? I am enjoying these last few weeks though don’t get me wrong!
Enjoyed the video and its tip on composition however, you mentioned early on in the video ap-c cameras and your Z8 and how you were going to show the differences on focus and depth of field but didn't unless I missed it...apologies if I did. 😮
One of the best videos I've seen on achieving wide angle compositions. Thanks Nigel. With regard to your last comments about dead space and cropping - would you ever consider using Transform to keep the wide angle feel while cropping?
Hi Nigel, thanks for another great and informative video! You mentioned aspect ratio. I am interested how you select it: in the field or during editing. Do you prefer certain aspect ratios for specific subjects? Do you only use the standard aspect ratios like 3:4 or 2:3 or do you freely select it? I would appreciate if you tell a little bit about this.
That was very helpful and well explained, if only I had see this a week ago when wandering around Swaledale where there were loads of waterfalls and old mine workings. P.S regarding your woodland LUT’s have you ever considered doing them for other non ADOBE applications such as DXO?
I enjoyed your video and found the guidance very helpful for my wide angle photography. Wouldn't it be great if Nikon could produce a medium format camera which Z mount lens could be fitted and was reasonably-priced 😀
I’m not worried about the Hasselblad. It’s unlikely I’ll ever be splashing out on a Z8 never mind a Hasselblad but I haven’t heard too many complaints about photographers using high end full frame cameras, it’s just what you’d expect a pro to be using. I think it’s interesting to learn about different cameras and formats even if I’m not using them myself and I think Nigel’s tips are very helpful and would apply whatever camera you are using. But Nigel you did say something at the beginning about mentioning differences in focus between medium format, full frame and APS-C which would have been interesting and I don’t think you actually covered it later.
One of the first lenses I bought for my Z7 was a 14-30 because I thought that's what I needed for landscape photography. So far, it has been my least used lens. I can't afford much, so I also have a 24-200, which I use quite a bit. I was thinking about trading the 14-30 for something else, but this video has convinced me to go out and use only the 14-30 for a while. Maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.
Thanks! Enjoyed the video, Glad to see medium format, had the opportunity to see prints from a Fuji GFX100S, as well as Z8, Yes there are subtle differences that make it worth it, it's different tools for different projects. Looking forward to seeing more Hassy captures as well as Nikon from your road trips. I hope Fuji and Phase One sends you a cameras to try too. I don't understand why people complain, I enjoy seeing new tools used to convey your vision!
Keep up with the tips and advice which we can apply - whatever camera we use. Useful advice to encourage more use of my wide lens rather than hug my 70-200 endlessly 😂
Well done for gaining support from Hasselblad. I fully understand that TH-cam and photography is your job providing you and your family with the income that this provides…. However I no longer see the point in watching vlogs using high ticket items such as Hassleblad XD2’s or whatever. The explorer is roughly £12750.00, add the lens you’re talking about then add on another £6500.00. So getting advice on using £19500.00 worth of kit is a bit pointless for the vast majority.
I realize that you need all of the DR you can muster in your location. It would be a great test for you and those of us who only have a Z9/Z8 to see the difference. We're all photographers of the environment we live in. I wouldn't want to be the type of photographer who needs to fly around the world for 'the shot'! So many live on the backs of other taxpayers.
I find that it's a struggle to get a picture of a good foreground leading into a great landscape, rather than a photo of the foreground, but with a pleasant backdrop. If the foreground becomes the subject then it ends up as a photo of a rock/branch etc that underplays the incredible vista behind it.
Did I miss the APSC bit? Being drawn more towards TH-camrs like Henry and Ian as it’s more relatable and real world with affordable kit. I could spend four times the amount I have on a Hasselblad Earth but my results wouldn’t be four times better or more importantly, my overall enjoyment so I don’t know whether to laugh at or feel sorry for photographers who delude themselves that they will. Very informative video but think I’ll stick to my 70-200mm where I can pick out the best bits in a scene and use the compression to suck in all the goodness.
Another Hasselblad video. I suppose Hasselblad is doing a media blitz with all the landscape photographers. I'm sorry, that camera will never be in my budget. As I mentioned, medium format is different shooting than full frame. Don't get me wrong. I love your videos but I relate better to your Nikon full frame.
Much the same as what Leica are doing in providing several street photographers with cameras these days, so unfortunately in most cases the video becomes much more about the camera and lens rather than the creativity.
I would like to know if you can keep the Hasselblad lens? Some famous TH-cam photographers got Hasselblad gear for free in the the last weeks. So Anthony Gugliotta (unboxing my dream camera). He communicated clearly that he could keep the Hasselblad camera, etc. If that‘s in your case the same, I think we should know for transparency reasons.
Stunning movie again🐉🌷🍓😀🇫🇮👍!!! Can you please make a dokument about how you make your own movies. This needs videographer who silency follows you on all your steps for one week. He stadies you work and sometimes Ask questions about what you do now 1. Planning 2. Filming ( + acting) 3. Editing. Its hard to do quality utube movies like you do, so please show us how and we love ( + respect ) you Even More. Thank you ever so Mutch.
Not the gear, it's the process. Either YOU are inspired & entertained or not. ●These TH-camrs could be using a NASA camera or a Phone & it would still require 'the process & eye'
He did not at any point of the video promote the camera. He just used it as a starter to explain the wide angle format... So this is absolutely ok. You may do it with any 14mm equivalent 😊
Oh dear another "ive got a Hasselblad" video. How do so many so called 'expert' photographers fall for Hasselblads marketing? Hasselblad have worked out how shallow so many photographer are. Nikon must be real please with their ambassadors.
I have the X2D with the XCD25V lens which is awesome! I have the longer XCD lenses too, and don't see a need for the short zoom. prove me wrong ! Was that an iPhone app that you were using?
Because we can all relate to having a Hasselblad and associated lenses. Sorry but most TH-cam photographers are getting really boring, formulaic and repetitive now. But anyway thank you to MPB/Squarespace for sponsoring all of this.
9:28 aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa where is this place? i was 1nce like 10 years ago i didnt wrote name of the place . now 10 years trying to find this post code . please help me
Blad over priced, just paying for a name. Don't spoil your channel with tech Nigel. Strange a few other photographers on you tube all of a sudden have hasselblad cameras and starting to use them. A few promo give aways lads
You're falling into the same trap by becoming to look elitist with everyone seemingly using Hasselblads which most people can't afford. It's obviously great for you and the other TH-cam Togs getting to use the best kit available but the majority of the rest of us can't even dream of ever owning that brand.
Sorry Nigel. Unsubscribing as you have lost relevance for me with this ridiculous high end camera. Thomas Heaton and Fototripper have also made the same stupid mistake of becoming a shill for Hassy.
@@tristanjacobs6003 nope I love the shots. I dislike the inference that I need this camera to do the same. I’ve loved Nigel’s images for years. Met him in person even. I simply don’t like the current trend of TH-cam photographers falling foul of the advertising dollars of a high end camera company. It leaves you wondering what the motivation is.
@@paulbarnard5267It’s completely fair that you only want to watch photographers with the same level of gear as you own, but don’t blame the photographers - who in their right mind would say no to that offer, especially someone who lives of photography? 😅 I feel both fototripper, Thomas Heaton, etc. have been extremely humble about the situation and that none of them have implied that you need the same camera to go out and find joy shooting (quite the opposite actually) - rather I find that they talk about general principles like aperture, composition, etc. Personally I watch them all for their personalities and not the gear they use, but again it’s fair that you don’t- I just don’t like that you’re putting it on them. I mean, I like wearing green jackets, but I don’t shame anyone for wearing red ones. 🤷🏼♂️
I’m not in that lucky position, but I know plenty of professionals in the music industry that turn down a lot of high end “gifts”/advert gifts for socials.
I guess (hope) at least you had heard of "F8 and be there" (something I knew about in my teens when starting photography) unlike another "Free Hassey" muppet! Hasselblad sales must be in serious trouble with so many cameras being gifted to influencers.
Sad story alert. Your use of the phrase "without dying" is not misplaced. I worked with a guy who worked his entire life up until his retirement day, which he was very much looking forward to. He retired on the Friday and went for a stroll along a rocky beach on the Saturday. Slipped on wet rocks, banged his head and passed away. 😢 There are a lot of lessons to be learned in that short story.
Did you sell your IT business for a large sum or perhaps an inheritance. Now like other youtubers,the X2D for validation.All a bit pretentious and boring

Great stuff.
Great tips! To all the people complaining about his use of the Hasselblad camera - you can frame exactly the same compositions using a regular camera and lens. No need to cry abou it.
While he can use any camera he wants, a medium format camera is not the same as full frame. It is very different.

20mm-35mm - 16-27mm full frame equivalent. I wonder how much resolution is actually being resolved, considering X2D is approx 100mp.
Does the 20-35 have much focus breathing? That can be irritating when focus stacking
Imagine being a TH-cam landscape photographer and NOT getting a present from Hasselblad - think how much of a loser you must feel !!

I mean, I like wearing green jackets, but I don’t shame anyone for wearing red ones. 🤷🏼♂️
I’m not in that lucky position, but I know plenty of professionals in the music industry that turn down a lot of high end “gifts”/advert gifts for socials.
It wasn’t long ago it was yellow bags and how absolutely fantastic they were, funny how you don’t see them anymore.
Goodbye Nigel......
I guess (hope) at least you had heard of "F8 and be there" (something I knew about in my teens when starting photography) unlike another "Free Hassey" muppet! Hasselblad sales must be in serious trouble with so many cameras being gifted to influencers.
Sad story alert.
Your use of the phrase "without dying" is not misplaced.
I worked with a guy who worked his entire life up until his retirement day, which he was very much looking forward to. He retired on the Friday and went for a stroll along a rocky beach on the Saturday. Slipped on wet rocks, banged his head and passed away. 😢
There are a lot of lessons to be learned in that short story.
Another one... Funny how the identity of a whole channel is defaced by the temptation of a freebee!
Lol, so many haters on here.
Did you sell your IT business for a large sum or perhaps an inheritance. Now like other youtubers,the X2D for validation.All a bit pretentious and boring
Too bad we can see the "Dislikes" on TH-cam anymore?
salty...
