Hi @Tony Neat - Im really sorry mate - I missed your kind comment. Thanks you very much for taking the time to view and to comment - that means a lot. Please forgive me being slack with the length of time to reply. Kind regards Ewan
Ewan Dunsmuir Images No need to apologise mate, my comment was through my need to express what your video did for me. That you found time to reply is a bonus though 😉 I’m hoping for more of the same from your channel and look forward to it. Sublime captures there
What an extraordinary piece of footage. Ewan, I’ve binged watched about half a dozen of your videos today and each and everyone of them has been a wonderful piece of storytelling. Some have even moved me to tears. But this video, well, it was just superb. Thank you, and I look forward to watching more.
Hey there - many thanks for your kind kind words. Really appreciate support like that. makes all the effort and thoughts... totally worth it! Best wishes... Ewan
Sorry i hadnt previously responded. Not sure why i missed that! Many thanks for your comments and kind feedback. Always meands a lot! Kind regards, Ewan
Stunning experience lovely photos at 9:15 and 9:53 in particular. Sleepless nights, early starts late finishes long hard walks and climbs pay dividends to witness and shoot a scene like that. Great watch loved it. Cheers.
Thanks Paul. It was certainly the most epic trip ever. Im not sure ill ever witness something that special again - maybe a once in a lifetime opportunity. Cheers buddy. Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages you did the hard yards mate putting yourself in the right place at the right time great lesson in effort and reward, and if the light didn't play ball, at least you had a grand walk
Years ago i was standing at the same spot you took those beautiful pictures. Next day i reached the top of Mt. Taranaki. Bringing back good memories, thank you for that.
Many thanks indeed. I really enjoyed shooting this one. Ill be publishing another one , which is an unusual one (for me) in the next week! Thanks for your support and comment here. Greatly appreciated/ Ewan
Top notch from start to finish. Beautiful images and I enjoyed the documentary style storytelling. One of those simple pleasures of watching/photographing a sunrise but that an experience that will live with you forever.
Incredible sunrise and scenery certainly worth that hike. Goes to show those early morning hikes off the beaten track pay off. Also inspirational talkative the end I'm now itching to get out with the camera again. Take it easy min and stay safe
@@grahamsduffin . No worries Graham. Ill be sure and announce it if and when I make it back, as i've been asked to do a workshop when and if i go back! (Thought you were from Orkney )! Regards, Ewan

Thanks Perry. I have just returned from the states and so am catching up with your kind comments. Sorry about my delay. Really appreciate comments form people who take the time to watch my stuff. Humbling! Ewan
Wow! What an incredible video and story! The images you captured are simply amazing. I really enjoyed seeing your devotion to capturing the image. There aren't enough words to adequately describe the emotions of seeing the evolving images. Keep safe! Cheers, Keith Pinn (Canada)
Hi Keith. Thanks mate. The film crew I took down with me were form FUJIFILM and they were gobsmacked by the process and effort in the field. They were pretty surprised to see me using no filters! I did tell them that thats about a complex workflow and understanding your equipment and its capabilities, metering to the LEFT and so on. It truky was a wonderful trip, and spiritual too. At 11:54 i think Dave (who is a spiritual Maori man, connected to the landscape and what we had just done, and i think he maybe had a little well up in his eye! Was truly magnificent to be a part of it and topped off by Nat Geo thinking so too! This trip... is WHY i do landscapes exclusively. Kind regards for the kind words Keith. Ewan
Hello Ewan, amazing videos back to back...and the captures ....no words....my question to you is which camera produced better ....Pentax or Fuji.....please answer... And I just start following your channel...maybe after Corona ...we will meet for your masterclass....
Hi Divya - Many thanks my friend. Both platforms produce amazing images, but in a different way. The fuji files are a little cleaner than the Pentax, but my workflow, is better suited ot the PENTAX files, which are simply breathtaking, when you apply a clear workflow in post processing. (when i say that my workflow prefers the Pentax files - i mean that normally, I like the images to be rendered in a flat way, where i can build them layer by layer, which the Pentax allows. The Fuji files are more 'complete', which tolerates less manipulation). Hope that answers. Would love to see you in NZ! Kind regards, form this part of the world. = ) Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages Thank you Ewan...and though Fuji is very sharp and clear , but what I found is photographers love Pentax....actually I would like buy one medium format system... And everyone says Pentax as its files are more friendly.... See you soon
I'm going thru. you. vlogs again:) just brilliant we are in . lock down here in north Wales house bound for the last 2 weeks I'm sat here going through my images I got. up on the Isle of Lewis in october what a . fantastic location just love Scotland keep safe mate
Hylo Paul. Thanks for the repeat views = ). i hope you are well during this time. both scotland and NZ are incredible places to photograph. Im sure Wales is too, although i have spent little time there! best wishes, Ewan
The Sunset was amazing!!! Lol. But this morning will stay with me forever i think. Thanks for commenting Tom, and glad to know you watched both! I need to do more video content. Time however, is a sadly scarce commodity. Cheers Tom Ewan
@@EwanDunsmuirImages yep, can relate to that. We are moving so my vlogs have had a pause. Btw have you worked in television, your work is very well done.
Hey @@tomduncan3547 . Have worked in visual arts professionally for 25 years, but limited to Photography. Videography has also intrigued me but was always too expensive and difficult to do properly, until affordable digital equip came along. Im still trying to find my style with it, and think i no understand what that might be moving forward, but am really enjoying being more creative with each one, where i can. Some of the timelines for these later vids are complex with several layers of sound and sound effects to help with that documentary feel, clipped form other sources and all put together to make sense. They take a little bit of time = ) Moeraki and Mount cook Natioanl Park in a few weeks. Looking forward to it. Regards Ewan
Mount Taranaki i believe,i will get there one day. Living in the south island i have snubbed the North island for years only going as far as wellington, maybe when i retire in a few years i will make that journey.
Hi William. Yes, an icon in NZ for sure and worth the trip... if you get good weather. Its called the cloud magnet, so we were just incredibly lucky. Re the climb... Slow and steady (with less gear) wins the race! LOL Ewan
What can I say? Absolutely stunning. Such a beautiful location and the images are out of this world. I think I need to add this location to my bucket list for when i eventually visit the North island. However, having said that I wont be carrying the shear weight of equipment that you did. My back groaned at the thought of carrying that much kit. Fantastic work Ewan. Keep it up.
Thanks John, much appreciated. It sure was a bit of a mission lugging all the gear up all these steps..... for 3 hours. Well worth the effort though and definitely worth a visit! Epic.
It was wonderful to watch your journey to Mt Taranaki, I would love to do it before I get too old (65yo), or maybe it is too late. I did visit there a couple of years ago hoping to photograph it but after 3 days we did not see even a peek. Ever so illusive but magnificent> Thanks for sharing.
Thanks Phil. It sure is a climb, but if you just take your time, then everything is possible. My tip.... just travel light. I believe we were quite.... (sorry) VERY lucky as that was my first time up there and got the stunning image of both the sunrise, and the crystal clear sunset shot the night before. Im glad you enjoyed it - Thanks very much! Regards Ewan
Thanks for replying and the encouragement Ewan! I’ll take your advice on boar, hopefully get over there from Australia later this year. Challenge set👍🏻
Hey Michael Zhara. I was replying to a comment that was on here but it’s just vanished. 😬 I was to have said; Thanks Michael, appreciated. Sure is a stunning place, particularly when conditions are THAT nice. I appreciate you testing the practice link. 😊. Checking out locations for the next trip.. Mount Cook maybe? New Zealand’s highest mountain! Cheers. E.
Hey Gregory. Yeah, i got quite a surprise when i received the email, as they wanted to publish it and also pay me for the publication (the money wasnt important). I have been striving for that accolade for 30 years. I do a lot of work with some big publications in the states and the UK. This image got a Nat Geo Worldwide Group Award after i released it for sale. One of the publications i work with has the Ex director of Strategy for Hasselblad working for them, so someone is watching and talking. Im therefore not sure what the chain of events was, but i use SEO and google ad words, and Tags and so forth in the background. However it happened... I'll take it! = ) It is beautiful image printed ane of the criteria for NG, is ' Straight from Camera', which this one is. = ) regards, Ewan
Hi Ewan, just thought I’d drop a message to say how great your content is. I’ve been through all your videos in one day, having only stumbled across your channel because I was looking for GFX50 reviews from a landscape perspective; I have been considering going digital medium format for some time and you may just have persuaded me. Anyhow, I’ve been looking for vlogs from a landscape photographer whose videos and process feel genuine, and I think I’ve found my man!
Hi Danai. thanks for your interaction. All of them in one day?... LOL you are keen! I appreciate you having a look at my stuff, and taking the time to comment. I do quite a bit of work with Medium Format medium, including publications etc - If I can help at all, just sing out. Kind regards, Ewan
About time Ewan, about time! I have been looking forward to this one...and you should keep them coming! There is always strong documentary feel to your later films, which I felt in this instance, really set the mood of great expectation of what was to come. Great images as always and the more I see these beastly cameras, the more I need one! Cheers buddy!
LOL. Thanks Simon. I had some difficulty in doing this one as I had Sooo much footage! And i had forgotten to VLOG in the traditional sense as I got so caught up with how blooming nice this was becoming each minute. I appreciate the comment though. INtersetingly enough though, the Image that ended up as my image for my website.... was taken with the PENTAX! which is also the one on Flickr Ill maybe try and skype you next weekend. Speak soon! Regards Ewan
and “WOW” again ~ what an experience you’re group had….. I’ve meant to ask you what mode do you shoot in ? Manual, AP and do you expose to the right? Your comment about getting off the road side ~ here in Wester-Ross, Scotland, over the last year I’ve started getting back into hiking. I had driven past the road side starting points of various tracks ~ so I have been stunned at the scenes / vistas that are there just a few miles further on. Remote Scottish locations for me has been heaven (it’s really why I started my TH-cam channel > to share this experience). Your experience / explanations is amazing.
Hi James'ss. Thanks for your support and kind commentary. I shoot manual even when conditions are changing quick - just do the maths in my head = ) (Old school) I dont expose to the RIGHT however. This was a technique that was developed for the advantages of T Grain film properties, and lack of DR in post, allowing one ot get the most detail in the shadow areas. I meter to the LEFT, under exposing everytnkg to maintain a good base line of accurate colour, and then lift shadows selectively. Hope that make sense. Ewan
Hey Preston. Pouakai track begins where Mangorei Road finishes. There is a car park before the slog up the hill. Its only one track from there so cant miss it. 2.5 hours in - you will see the Pouakai hut on your left. Keep going up the hill and then the doc signs will point you to the 'Tarns' Hope that helps. If you need more - then just let me know. Regards Ewan
