Andy you are one of the best - if not THE best - contemporary landscape photographers. I can’t believe that your channel only has 80k subscribers while other clowns fighting over gear have millions.
Thanks so much for the comment Antonis, I'm really glad you find the channel useful. There are many many far better photographers around than me, but I'm happy that there are some people who enjoy the videos
I wanted to thank you. Your landscape advice has done so much to improve my bird photography. I was Too focused on the bird… on getting closer.. feeling the path to better pictures was a new lens with a mythical focal length. Yesterday, a particularly friendly chickadee was eating out of my wife’s hand. I took the 400 off and took a few shoots with the 50-140. Wouldn’t have done that without your influence. Thank you.
Hello Andy, thank you very much for all your videos! You always get to the point analytically, and only talk about the essence of the topic without long ramblings. You helped me a lot with the composition of landscape pictures. Unfortunately, I don't have such a grandiose landscape on my doorstep. But your tips are also helpful for less spectacular shots! Keep it up....
Great video and good advice on gear. Many years ago I fell into the habit of putting my headlamp on around my neck once it became late afternoon. Stays out of the way until you need it and you're not fumbling in the dark when you do.
Thanks for the comment. It's true about the bag, it's easy to be trying to find a torch in the bottom of the bag in the dark, or getting soaked while you try to get the shell out
Thank you so much Andy for your tutorial and these nice, interesting and easy tips. As usual,today I have learned more! Congratulations, and I hope you have an excellent 2022 and wil stay safe.Best regards from Bogotá, Colombia.
Always enjoy your videos Andy, the knowledge you pass on is very much appreciated. The examples of adding depth to the images made me go back and look at how I could improve some of my images, great tip. Sometimes we forget about the Benefits of shoot in adverse weather conditions, creating mood is I really appealing. Many thanks and will look forward to seeing some of your images from Italy, safe travels.
Logical, practical advice! Very helpful. Looking forward to your future videos...just subscribed. Happy Travels! Best wishes from Atlanta, Georgia, USA.
Thanks Andy, excellent tips. On your upcoming field videos, could you go into some detail about where you are focusing your shots and when you are needing to focus stack? I'm always amazed how sharp your images are front to back. I'm using the same gear and I intermittently struggle with this. Looking forward to your photos from Italy.
Thanks so much. I'll make a point to talk about focus in the videos. I don't actually focus stack many of my images, it's not really necessary with APS-C because the depth of field is so great
Thanks so much. That image is a salt lake. The salt expands and pushes up ridges between the cracks, and for a few moments at sunset, when the light is horizontal, the tops of the salt ridges catch the light
Glad you enjoyed the video. The microphone is fine, a Blue Yeti recorded directly into Audition and then synced with the video. There's De-reverb applied, but it's a big room with high ceilings, so there's always an echo.
Hi Andy, do you coach photogarphers around licensing and publishing? I'm looking for sources of advice and guidance specifically on monetizing images I already have, and image I'm going to create in the future. I'm also wondering if you have any videos on TH-cam on this topic. Thanks in advance! I really enjoy your content.
Hi Brent. I don’t do any coaching on the topic, and it’s not something I’ve made a video on. Every photographer has a different path when it comes to creating revenue streams, but it’s a topic I get asked a lot and something I’ ll almost certainly cover in a future video
It's terrific to encourage one to use the weather you actually have, but then you go on to give examples of the easy conditions, rain and fog. Showing how to use harsh midday sunlight, would have been more helpful...
Well, it's rare that I shoot in bright sunny light...the places where I shoot are rarely sunny. It is something that can be done though, but I find specific editing is needed for those kind of images. Blue skies look really bad, so converting to black and white with a red filter gives black skies, and in scene with strong contrasts of light and shadow it can work. For more even light, I'll be looking to move the blues to steely greys, and make the colours in the landscape dominate more
Sometimes one gets lucky and is getting the right answers at the right time. I got lucky. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment, glad you enjoyed the video. That's a good tip about the head torch
Great idea that I will use

Straight to the point as always.
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful
great info ,as usual Andy the packing of the backpack was great we forget how often we need to get at these items without thinking .
Thanks for the comment. It's true about the bag, it's easy to be trying to find a torch in the bottom of the bag in the dark, or getting soaked while you try to get the shell out
Great video Andy, most common problems well explained ☺️
Thanks so much, really glad you found it useful
Brilliant as ever. Many thanks Andy.
Thanks so much Simon, glad you found it useful
That first tip. Depth. I’ve struggled with that for the last three years since I began taking photos. Thank you so much!
It's so true, but it can be really hard to find ways to create depth in images sometimes
Great advice! Thanks for sharing your real professional experience.
Thanks so much, glad you found the video useful
Thanks, Andy! I haven’t commented in a while but I watch all your videos and they are hugely helpful. All best to you in 2022!

Always love watching videos and listening to you share your wisdom. Can't wait to join you on a workshop one day!

Thanks so much Ross, it's nice to know you find the videos helpful. I'll be doing a lot of workflow videos this year and looking at things like depth
Some really good points made, thank you 👍

I was going to ask a similar question. How do you achieve overall sharpness throughout the image.
Great video, awesome tips :)
Thanks so much, glad it was useful
Great tips Andy, appreciate your thoughts & advice on videos like this 👍🏻
Thanks so much, glad you found it useful
Sehr gutes Video. Deine Hinweise sind sehr lehrreich und nehme ich gerne mit nach Island.
Thanks so much, glad you find the videos useful. Enjoy your trip to Iceland
Piękne zdjęcia i film. Super realizacja . Pozdrawiam serdecznie i zapraszam do polskich lasów🌲🌳🌿
Wow, what is that at 2:13? A lake of cooling lava?
Thanks so much. That image is a salt lake. The salt expands and pushes up ridges between the cracks, and for a few moments at sunset, when the light is horizontal, the tops of the salt ridges catch the light
👏👏👏🤘😘
Thank you🙏
Great video, as always. I really feel like you could use a better microphone though!
Glad you enjoyed the video. The microphone is fine, a Blue Yeti recorded directly into Audition and then synced with the video. There's De-reverb applied, but it's a big room with high ceilings, so there's always an echo.
