Every time i watch a video of yours i get the feeling that i'm in a private class, your voice is so warm and calm and i love it!
I'm starting out with photography and your videos are beeing really helpful. Thanks for all your incredible content, you deserve more likes!
Thanks a lot - have a fantastic day!
Just as Brian Cox can make Quantum Physics understandable to the ordinary person , Nigel does the same for photographers. Educational, informative but not patronising - quite a skill. Thanks for the videos - keep them coming.
Some compliment Graham! Thanks a lot 👍
....but Brian Cox is annoying.... he finds the fantastic in boring.... how is that even possible???
I LOVE the not patronizing part!
As a beginner hobbyist photographer I am finding your videos very helpful.
Great advice and explanations NIgel. It’s Feb 2020 as I’m watching this and it’s still relevant. Your casual teaching style, music and examples are always perfect for the job. I’ve learned a lot from you since I first started following. Thanks again for all your work and effort to post these vids.
I love how Zen your videos are. Your explanations about understanding are so right and very much what photographers rarely value. Thank you so much for giving me a reason to think.
He seems so cool! I’ve had a camera for years and just now am ready to learn it. This was so informative and instructional and fun to watch!!
One real value and real truth explaining video, with simply and heartily filling, like it.
Nigel, thank you so much for all the youtube videos. Since working from home, my wife and I haven't left home for any moment except grocery shopping. It is your video that kept us remembering the beauties of the real world. We cannot wait to bring our camera and hike again.
I’ve been watching your channel for a few weeks and it is incredible how much info you provide. Your tips have helped me understand so much as a beginner to photography! Thank you!
Such a genuine dude, mildly obsessed with photography 😅
Thank you for that Nigel : twenty minutes well-spent 'learning how to learn.' Far better than being told to 'do this' and 'get that.' It makes so much sense, considering the variation in equipment that we are all bringing to the table. Keep up the good work.
Love the way you explain things, especially for us newbies. Thank you.
Thank you, Nigel. I very much enjoy your videos and always look forward to new content.
This is wonderful! The way you explain everything is so very helpful to me. Thank you so much!!
Thanks Nigel for this inspiring video. I”ll start creating my camera setting book with the "golden rule” on the cover.
I am very fond of the way you arranged your well organized studio. Thanks for sharing.
This is great, Nigel. I often compare identical images taken at different exposures, focal lengths, and such but never really know what I'm looking at when I'm reviewing in Lightroom, at least not to the extent that you detail here, instead looking at a single element or two and never certain why one works more than the next. You make this a super simple yet comprehensive process and I'm definitely going to borrow your techniques. Thanks so much!
Thanks for a fantastic video Nigel. Your videos with top tips are really useful and motivating to beginner photographers like myself. They really help to simplify the sometimes very complex sounding components of photography! Looking forward to more.
Thanks, Nigel, for taking the time to make all of those files for a comparison to demonstrate your lesson.
Ive watched like 5 of your videos in a row and i cannot stop myself. Thank you for sharing your talent with the world!
Very good information. I'm learning a lot from your videos Nigel, You are inspiring me to get out and learn more about my camera and how to capture better pictures.
Love a Springer,Alfie went over rainbow bridge aged 14,got a little cocker now and she mad as a box of frogs……loved to pieces
One of the clearest, most useful videos I've seen to date, THANK YOU!
The dog thinks "now he's talking to himself again"...
Thank you Nigel. Awesome tips!
Thank you Nigel ,you are an amazing photographer ,and an amazing teacher .
Love this tutorial Nigel, very clearly explained. Now I need to run some tests with my new wide angle lens!
Great help, thanks Nigel. I'm adding these tests to my general photo "to do" list. It's also great to hear your take on hyper focal and focus in general. It's hard to parse all of the info about HF out there and know just how necessary it is to taking good pics. I think like you in this case, when I've purposefully tried to use HF I've come away with less clarity than if I just focused for subject or infinity.
What a great video. I have just bought a new wide angle lens and this has inspired me to go outside and test it out. I've never thought about it before but it makes so much sense. Test and understand your lens! Brilliant advice thanks.
I recently bought a canon M50, your videos are giving me motivation to go out with more and understand its potential.
Really enjoy your channel. I find your honesty and common sense advice very useful. Keep up the good work!
Thank you. This was really helpful. I had no idea how much softness aperture could add.
Enjoying your videos Nigel. Thanks
I just found you from a comment you wrote on someone else's video 1 year ago, and you explained that you just started your own channel..
I was pretty amazed as to what i found after clicking on your channel.
Your videos are excellent man and your info is well said!
Funny enough i started my own channel not to long ago, its an interesting process.
Thank you for taking your time to making these videos :)
Great video Nigel as always, very helpful. Keep shooting
Great video Nigel - really like your insights here. Thanks for sharing
Great video Nigel well presented and content really good for beginner photographers like myself just bought my first mirrorless after researching for a long time, now thanks to your channel I can get to grips with it!
Good to see someone mentioning the importance of knowing your camera! People should get to know it so well it would be an extension of your own body.
Nice to see the behind the scenes... Whats that attachment for the tripod that does the top down desk shots?
Just a ball head
Really helpful video on understanding how your camera performs in different situations. Thanks.
Very useful information and presented in an easy to understand manner.
Well done Nigel.
Great work hey, truly love that you do your thing no matter what anybody else may think. thanks ive learnt alot from your videos
Very helpful. i shall have to conduct some of this research on my cameras and lenses. Thanks.
I think i finally understand aperture! 😍 thank you for your tips, you're right there's no magical formula, you just need to know your gear! I'm gonna do those aperture and iso tests right now! 😊
Thank you!!! Great info and explanation!! I'm new to Photography and this helps a ton.. I now have some work to do...
Just caught up with this video, it is so very helpful and makes things far easier to understand the limitation of camera and lens. Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us 👍 it is very much appreciated
This video was very, very informative, and thanks for sharing. I often wonder exactly where I need to focus and what ISO. I learned a lot today. Thanks, and I gave you a well deserved thumbs up.
Excellent video. I will carry out these exercises.
Great video!!! First time I have heard this approach, that makes so much sense. Thank you
Really useful video, simply explained again, thanks Nigel.
Really informative and eye opening video. Need to do everything you say to get a better feel for my camera and lenses.
Thanks Nigel :-)
Fantastic, thank you very much for your tips and help, and making it understandable.
You explain things really well. Thank you.
Thanks for teaching landscape focusing technique😊
An excellent video so easy to follow and more importantly to understand. Great tips and thanks I am now one of your followers!!
Thank you so much for that video, i have learnt so much from that 20 mins.
Thanks a lot again. Based on what I've learned from you I'm gonna go out tomorrow morning at the golden hour and try to use these things in real life. Already excited looking forward to learning more new things from your next videos 😊
Thank you Nigel 👍
Great information. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
Dear Nigel, I had been pestering you about settings because my Z7ii wasn’t performing well! So I tested it like you advised and it was faulty! It was under warranty and I got a new replacement! Thank you for your help sir 🙏
Very informative video, gonna try all of these.👍👍
Very helpful video, thank you. Glad to see Pebbles again!
Great information, thanks Nigel!
Thanks, Nigel, this was really very helpful (as are all your videos). I like the way you've broken it down into four basic areas, making it very easy to make some comparison tests. I've done some of this, but need to do more, so you've given me some incentive. Glad to hear that prints are selling well for you and you've got many people in your workshops. I'll have to get back over for one sometime. Thanks again. Bob
Thanks Bob... prints are really going well. Especially from Iceland. Love to do another 1-2-1 Bob! I am also putting together a Glacier NP workshop for 2019 👍
All your videos are a great help
Another informative video Nigel. Thanks
Thanks again Nigel, fresh ideas of knowing your camera and lens well. Btw great studio ,nice and compact !
Concise interesting and very applicable. Thanks for this tutorial.
Love your study 😂 great video Nigel. Knowing how to use your camera in the field to achieve certain results is critical to work efficiently and effectively. There is nothing worse that going out shooting and coming back to realise that small steps in the field could have saved the image from a technical standpoint. I also find picking up anything but Canon, I'm completely lost! So working with various manufacturers (even if it's your friends camera) can help improve your understanding greatly! Great video again mate.
Thank you Nigel, very helpful video.
Great video Nigel. Really informative and useful information.
Just discovering your channel. Great tips and I definitely feel inspired to print and shoot landscapes. Well done sir!
Thanks again Nigel, another great video
Thank you - excellent as always!
Hi Nigel, great video, can you do a quick video on your photo book? What notes you taken and the type of things you jot down? I’m really interested too see. Cheers.
Thanks Nigel, a great interesting video buddy and very helpful.
This is really helpful. What great way to do it.
Nigel, enjoyed the vlog this week and certainly an area where I need to concentrate more on as quite often I find myself taking too many shots at the same settings rather than going for some variety.
I will be trying your advice , especially the choice of focusing to infinity and using aperture to get focus across the scene. Thanks for the very well Made video
My job for the weekend sorted then! Thanks for the video!
Very well explained in this video Nigel, Thanks.... love to watch these👌
Regards,
Ben
Loving these informative videos!!
Great video, very useful! Learned a lot here, thanks!
Brilliantly delivered video, great method of demonstrating the difference of different exposure settings. Thank you.
Thanks Nigel! New to your videos. Love your work!The biggest take away is know YOUR camera. You have to test your equipment so you can be in the moment with the environment you are trying to replicate.
Great instructional video Nigel! You use very good analogies in your explanations. Keep up the great work!
Thanks Randy 👍👍👍
Thanks Nigel! I've been really confused about focal length/distance. I've read a lot about hyperfocal distance, and I've been thinking there must be a better way. I'll be giving your method a try soon.
Nigel, great video! I watch this twice, really very useful. Thank you.
Thanks Glenn 👍
Really, really good tips that I have to try out - thanks a lot!
Very easy to follow along! Great video! Great explanations!
Fantastic insight, keep up the great work!
This is very helpful.Thank you very much.
Love the example about the microwave. It tells everything. ❤️
Great video Nigel, should help a lot of people.
Nicely done, good length for the subject.
Just came across your channel - the information is super helpful with understanding your process and better learning these concepts through examples and explanation. Great work - keep creating! :)
very helpful - I like the approach to focusing and will adopt this - many thanks Nigel
Thanks David
What a useful video - thanks!
Another great video this has taught me so much about my camera, thank you
Great points again Nigel.
very good content! I like the way it explains everything thank you....
Another helpful video. I do a lot of true macro and the 'go to' settings for this tend to be f16, 1/200s and ISO 200 with a speed light (although often I go down to f11). Now I am going to do a proper test like yours to see exactly what conditions I can always shoot with a more open f number and how low I can go. DOF is, of course, tiny when focusing so closely with a macro lens but a lower f no. would mean a shorter flash time which would give a sharper image. You have given me food for thought with landscape and macro so thank you.
