I love how you weren't even bothered about the photographs, instead just appreciating being out there. I always sense a great deal of gratitude from you for the life that you have and it's such a wonderful example of how to live.
I live in an area full of empty beachscapes like this, and until I saw your video always thought there was nothing to take a photo of. What you've achieved here has changed my mind
Lovely morning and great shots. Kept thinking how much fun Pebbles would have had at the beach. Look forward to seeing all the amazing photos in the contest. Awesome cause.
Just found you and thank you. My escape for a few minutes. My description of this is soul speak, can't describe it any other way lol. Gorgeous spot and gorgeous images. I felt the peace and wonder, I was lucky enough to be camping on a beach once, it was dead calm, same, and there were two dolphins playing as the sun was setting. You could still hear them splashing as the light disappeared. Looking forward to watching more.
"don't put the horizon in the middle" is one of my favourite composition rules to break, I'm glad you do it too! What a stunning morning, your joy from being there was contagious 😊
Just recently found your channel. I'm fortunate enough to live very close to the coast. Feeling inspired. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Lovely. Thank you, Nigel. I love minimalist seascapes. I think it is very personal, reflecting your experience there, because my minimalist photos tend to get fewer faves on my flickr page than busier images. No matter.
Your vlogs are perfectly timed here on the left side of the Atlantic. There’s nothing better than enjoying Sunday morning coffee with Nigel! Cheers. ☕️
Lockdown back on track in France, can't go beyond 10km for walking, and of course, the ocean is 11km from my home, so frustrating. So thank you for the walk. Great work with those shots! Love it.
Such a beautiful morning and scene. That is just my cup of tea. Too bad I live too far from a sea though. We do have some beautiful lakes but no tides. All beautiful images, but my fave was the landscape orientation with the waves.
Kristina, it’s almost taken for granted these days, there will always be someone putting a negative comment into a conversation and we just have to ignore the attitude. Keep watching. Keep learning. Enjoy every second we have.
Ooooh! That shot at 6:00 - SO GOOD! The 8:09 photo is fantastic too, but the tranquility and simplicity of the 6:00 one is my favorite, I completely understand it's your favorite, but keep it blue, not B&W ;) I also really liked the 10:48!
Im ashamed to say I live across the road from a beach in North Wales and I’ve done a million sunsets but never a sunrise. You have inspired me thank you 😊
G’day Nigel. I’ve been very much a stay at home body for several weeks due to life’s challenges. It’s great to see you at your best and I’m back into life again taking your advice. Stay safe Mate.
Very instructive.I live a few km from the Sands of Forvie estuary/beach/sand dunes reserve and you have inspired me to take a new view of its beauty on less dramatic days.
Nigel finally a landscape with many similarities where I live in the flat Netherlands. I did indeed plan the COAST PROJECT, but your video will bring it to the fore in the agenda. Wonderful ideas, statements and motivations gained from your advice and the final results.
I watched today's episode using my brand new *Apple AirPods Max on Apple TV* . What a differnce. I could hear all the seagull and other birds' sounds. Purring, squawking, crying, squealing.........And even the ocean waves. An excellent video and beautiful photos as usual. Thanks.
Your appreciation of the tranquility and serenity of your amazing morning just gave me a smile and happy feeling that lasted for the rest of the day! Thanks Nigel for making me look forward to Sundays mornings :-)!
Another great Sunday morning experience shared with you. It's always a nice way to start the week. I'm afraid I'd have to stay up all night to get up as early as you do, but as you've said many times, that's when the opportunity is greatest to capture some great shots. Wishing you well for the next week from here in Florida.
Honestly Nigel, videos like this confirm you as a master of photography in my opinion. Your ability to make images out of very little is amazing. Great video.
Thanks, Nigel. Both your joy of being there and the images you took are inspiring. This is a very memorable video that I will run again with my wife. Thanks a lot.
It doesn't get much better than this. Have missed you saying it. Your excitement really comes across your videos. We have another week to go before i can get to our beaches in the west of Ireland. Really looking forward to it.😊😊😊
So lovely to see you enjoying some peace and nature. How special to have the place to yourself. Love seascape photography and have been practising some of this in my home town. Thanks Nigel, always appreciate your videos.
Sunday morning calm... love how much enjoyment you get from photography, I do too. Beautiful Orange/Blue portrait shot, would love to hear more about your three horizontal pano process. thanks Nigel. Cheers from Texas.
Absolutely love mornings like these, even more so because they are so rare to experience. But wonderful when they do happen. Thanks for the Zen-moment in my day ❤
I've always preferred the peace of sunrise as there are often more people around at sunset but after 3.5 months of lockdown I've discovered more the 'joy' of getting up at stupid O'clock for summer sunrises. No-one but photographers are stupid enough to do it so we get to enjoy many places in solitude. Love the idea of your 'Plan Chest' for prints.....one day maybe the kids will leave home and I'll get a room for a studio with one and a decent printer!🙄
I decided to leave a comment just in case it will help you to drive your channel because I do finding it so much inspiring and interesting, thank you for your work!
Great video, Nigel. I have tended to avoid a barrens beach, no rocks, no mangrove, nothing of interest. How wrong, have I been. The beach itself, sand and water are all you need and a little solitude helps. Thanks.
My favourite and local beach. You captured it perfectly in this video. It is the most wonderful place at sunrise and sunset and I often walk the tide line and am amazed at the light throughout the year... it’s also pretty good when it’s a bit stormy!
@@gordondryden6266 not sure if you can DM on TH-cam comments. Drop me a line on Instagram @scottrell727 and I will let you know. Not sure if Nigel let’s people know his locations?? So would rather not do it via this means.
Love mornings like that with the tranquil settings and not a soul around. As you said Nigel being out in those conditions is a great result and if you come back with some good images (which you did by the way) then that is the added bonus
Those A1 and A0 drawers are great; I teach landscape designers and we have them for plans and maps. They get a bit damaged if going into the drawers too often, so we now use hanging cabinets, that work excellently. Loved the opening cinematic shot's minimalism
I am a very amateur landscape photographer, but I must admit that some of my most enjoyable and rewarding photography experiences have been doing just what you did, primarily with a standard zoom lens. Just a combination of the light, calm, space and tranquility. I'm glad you had a nice time! Thanks for the video.
So well done Nigel. This video managed to really capture the experience of being there with you that morning. No small feat! The photographs are breathtaking. Fine work sir.
Funny - for my video this week I also went to the coast to do minimalist long exposures. Perhaps it's a symptom of lockdown and not being able to travel far afield. Great to see the sea anyway, and great video, as always.
Beautiful day, great shots! I’d hustle back tomorrow and get the shot in the background of one of your opening scenes: the flats with a lighthouse behind in the blue hour.
I think this is probably my favourite video of yours - the fact that you simply enjoyed being there ( I’m guessing somewhere on the Cumbrian coast - would love to know where, so I could see it for myself) and still got some beautiful images.
Stunning serene peaceful morning for a yomp on the beach and what - sand on the beach ha ha ! Great tide timing with the virgin beach, rivulets and S curves to shoot - one of my favourite spots for this type of photography is Formby Beach - there's an oil rig off the coast which makes for a superb minimal shot at sunset. I was trying to work out where you were and was actually thinking Formby with those pines behind the dunes. Great stuff Nigel :)
Gorgeous, gorgeous shots. We need to create a new term for the walk TH-camrs do to film themselves 'walking in landscapes'. The shot @ the 30 sec mark is gorgeous... but to get it (as anyone who's filmed themselves like this knows) you start recording, run off camera, then walk back calmly. It LOOKS amazing, but it's also quite a funny thing to do - so I think we need a term for it - any ideas?! I'll start - "B-Stroll."
It’s a beautiful feeling being on a beach early in the morning, nobody else just yourself, if they could bottle that feeling you could sell it by the lorry load! By the way l love minimalist photography glad your doing some of it , great shots!
My natural habitat Nigel. It just gives me a sense of well-being and whatever the weather just lifts the sprits. You got some great shots, The added bonus was the music from Velvet Moon, I bought the album afterwards.
Loved it. The images have so much rhythm with the textures in the sand and the curves and are so peaceful at the same time with those colors and smooth transitions between the sky and the sea. Thank you 😊
I really, really liked your first screen shot of the "distracting" image. As an aspiring photographer it was really nice to see a detailed written explanation of exactly what you didn't (or did if you ever do it again lol) like about it and or what people want to look for in their own shots! Thanks for the amazing video!
I love how you weren't even bothered about the photographs, instead just appreciating being out there. I always sense a great deal of gratitude from you for the life that you have and it's such a wonderful example of how to live.
Beautiful words and i completley agree. I feel very humbled every time i watch Nigels videos.
@@lwilson5198 something to aspire too hey?

That last shot with the deep sand pattern curving out into nowhere was spectacular. Minimalism at its best, a keeper!
Some really;outstanding minimalist photographs. I will be taking my camera out for blue hour and sunrise on my next beach trip.
Very inspiring as always Nigel. Thank you for posting. I have enjoyed watching you during lockdown. You have kept me sane!
So beautiful and peaceful images! Thanks for sharing
"don't put the horizon in the middle" is one of my favourite composition rules to break, I'm glad you do it too! What a stunning morning, your joy from being there was contagious 😊
Nicely done. I often walk for sunrise along the coast of Rhode Island. Couldn’t agree more.
Just recently found your channel. I'm fortunate enough to live very close to the coast. Feeling inspired. Thanks for taking the time to make this video.
Stunning video, Nigel, thank you! Looking forward to entering the competition again as well!
Beautiful! Tranquil and beautiful seascapes.
some gorgeous images captured Nigel
Absolutely superb Nigel - really loved it -magic minimalism
Have to say my favourite image was the last taken and the first print shown. superb shot

It did my heart good to hear you so happy and content being out on such a glorious morning. And oh- the images were fantastic.
Im ashamed to say I live across the road from a beach in North Wales and I’ve done a million sunsets but never a sunrise. You have inspired me thank you 😊
Wait, the tide moves in and out that much! Trapped!!!
These images are beautiful! Perfect time of day too.
Another great post Nigel, I gather you enjoyed the shoot!

Getting up early is easy once you are up!
Early morning coastal shoots are the best! Lovely shots too Nigel. Conditions were stunning 😍
Wow Kim, I just watched your video really loved it. You know on Sunday I wait for your and Nigel's videos. I am so happy to see you here.
Thank you for this wonderful tutorial. Beautiful work.
Your images are representing the serene atmosphere of the quiet beach, … a peaceful and inspiring way to start a Sundaymorning!
Really great video, loved the minimal feel of the location ! I particularly liked the last image - beautiful.
I'm absolutely enjoying all your videos and finding them very inspirational, very high quality videos, thank you
Your shots ~12:30 and the next one ! 13:51 make nice use of diagonal lines/features moving toward the focal point....
Honestly Nigel, videos like this confirm you as a master of photography in my opinion. Your ability to make images out of very little is amazing. Great video.
Thanks so much
Thanks, Nigel. Both your joy of being there and the images you took are inspiring. This is a very memorable video that I will run again with my wife. Thanks a lot.
A great video - love your responses to "just beauty" - its a heart thing Nigel.
It doesn't get much better than this. Have missed you saying it.

week to go before i can get to our beaches in the west of Ireland.
Really looking forward to it.😊😊😊

This is the essence of photography and painting, to feel passion even for the minimum, thanks Nigel!
Gorgeous images, great video as always Nigel!
The last image on location was simplicity at its best, beautiful scene, expertly captured
agree. the rest felt like it didnt really have a theme but that one was awesome for me !
Those new wood drawers are like a safe box now! So many invaluable prints!
Mornings like that are magical. And you’re right that getting a great image doesn’t even matter. Lovely video.
Sunday morning calm... love how much enjoyment you get from photography, I do too. Beautiful Orange/Blue portrait shot, would love to hear more about your three horizontal pano process. thanks Nigel. Cheers from Texas.
Best you've put out in ages, who doesn't like being at the sea side, a big thumbs up.
Absolutely love mornings like these, even more so because they are so rare to experience. But wonderful when they do happen. Thanks for the Zen-moment in my day ❤
I’d love to see a video on how you edited these beautiful photos! One of my favorite of your recent posts. Thank you Nigel
Beautiful images Nigel, loved the video work also, thanks for sharing.

Love minimalist photography and you captured it beautifully. Thank you!
Nigel, your videos are an inspiration and reference. Congratulations! Waiting for the next one. Thank you!
The 24-70 is my favorite travel lens. By that, I mean the lens I take when I leave home.
Another great video, Nigel!
The first printed photo you showed in studio just looks so much better in print than it did on screen. Amazing.
I had pretty much the same beautiful conditions on the Bay Of Fundy in my recent long exposure video. Now I will go back and continue watching!
Love the sounds of the early morning seabird activity. Helps to show the calming ambience of the scene. Glad you included it!
Lovely video Nigel and some beautiful photos to

It's so long since I've been able to get to the coast, so this week's video is so special. Thanks Nigel. Oh, your photos were amazing also👍
Great Beach Vlog, love the images, the video work is top notch, your narrative captured the true feelings of the morning, well done

Thanks and hope it went well!
