Landscape Photography - Three approaches to finding locations

In this landscape photography episode I explore three different approached to finding locations to shoot. Follow me with my Nikon Z Series gear as I visit St Huberts Church in Hampshire and the South Downs Way, sizing up options for compositions. Night-scapes and PHOTOGRAPHY and LANDSCAPES and SUNSETS are what gets the blood coursing through my veins. If you love landscape photography and wish ...

This is a full workflow tutorial for nightscape image post-processing techniques in Adobe Lightroom, Photoshop 2024 and Starry Landscape Stacker.

Basic Milky Way single shot image editing in just a few Lightroom adjustments

Post-processing a Milky Way image can seem quite intimidating. In this video I take a single Nikon Z6ii image and bring out contrast, detail and colour in the Milky Way with just a few relatively simple adjustments. Night sky images don't have to be really complicated, as I demonstrate in this twenty-minute tutorial. Everything in this tutorial is processed within one single image in Adobe Ligh...

Landscape Photography Locations - Should You Share Them?

As I continue my hunt for bluebell landscape photography locations, I reflect on whether or not we should share the precious information of the special and favourite locations that we find to shoot.

Sony RX10iv v Nikon Z series w/24-200 - tough decision
Просмотров 8574 месяца назад
During a dawn visit to West bay in Dorset I agonise over the choice of a do-it-all camera for an upcoming trip to the USA. I need compact and versatile, but I have to count the pennies and get best value long term. Should I go back to the Sony RX10iv (the hands-down best bridge-super-zoom there is) or should I spend the money on improving my Nikon gear? Spoiler alert - Sony fans may not agree w...
Landscape Photography - Weather Apps and Bracketing Exposures on Nikon Z7ii

    Hola, antes que nada quiero felicitarte por tu trabajo, excelentes vídeos y hermosas e interesantes fotografías, ahora quiero preguntarte, estoy interesado en adquirir un nuevo equipo fotográfico, el que tengo actualmente es una cámara Sony r1 qué me ha brindado muchas alegrías sin embargo ya es momento de modenizarme un poco, y veo a la Sony rx10 Mark IV como una posibilidad interesante, me interesa fotografiar paisajes, árboles, fotografías callejeras, objetos y fotografía en blanco y negro, me gustaría conocer tu opinión sobre adquirir esta cámara, de ante mano muchas gracias.

  • @markgillum5709
    @markgillum5709 27 дней назад

    Nigel, I think that there are several ways of looking at this dilemma. Both tend to start with "why"? For someone who is steeped in the craft, you know you were giving up certain aspects of your photography by going to a fixed lens. SONY does make it attractive with the loads of technology packed in, but if image quality is your passion, smaller sensors and non prime lenses were eventually not making the final cut. That being said, the convenience of NOT lugging around tons of extemporaneous weight is usually the reason a pro sizes down. Someone new to the craft is already in over their head with all that ANY advanced camera requires, definitely does NOT want to be carrying and changing lenses and thus approaches the solution from a very different place. I own an RX-10iv bought recently (2024), and a Sony A77, and a Canon SX-60, and Nikon P900. I use each of them for what I intend to shoot or how I am feeling on a given day. That way I remain happy with them all, and although one ALWAYS mourns a shot you may have gotten from a different camera, it is lessened by using different cameras on different occasions.

    Really appreciate this tutorial, but I just don't know Photoshop enough to understand what's going on, I'm a Lightroom 100% process guy, but would love to learn PS, just don't have the time or need unless I do night sky images, focus stacks etc. I think I could do focus stacks in PS since it is a much easier process.

    I saw something you did not comment on, perhaps because it is obvious, but here goes: I thought the Landscape shot taken with the Sony left me wanting more detail. For the long reach yes, for friends & family yes; star shots no, landscapes no -- w/o the fancy stacking. I'd like to see a sunlit stacked landscape shot; I wonder if that might look better? Just FYI.

Up here the bluebell season was at least 2 to 3 weeks later than down south, they only reached there peak really in the 1st week of May up here..

      I did some recent research on it as I wanted something to take on a family holiday. I wish Sony would update it, but that’s not going to happen. Even so, having tried the Panasonic equivalent, the Sony beasts it by a country mile. The Nikon P series are just enormous. If I was going to buy an all-in-one, I’d still go for the Sony.

    There is also another reason and that is, a number of 'RUclips Professionals', have large ego's(and to a point narsisistic) and have formed cliques, and for that reason want to keep certtain things/places to themselves. I've even heard of phototographers complaining that someone else has 'stolen their shot/composition/piece of ground in a national park, which is ridiculous. Just discovered your channel, It's always good to find other photographers and look forward to exploring your more.

      Thanks for watching and for your comment. I haven't used the A7r3.Generally, I found the Sony menu system quite hard to navigate compared with the Nikon. Nikon always feels a bit like "coming home" somehow. I just know where everything is.

      @@NigelBaileyPhotography Yes, Nikon is more suitable for photographers to operate. After I switched from DSLR to mirrorless, I became very accustomed to Nikon's operation. Later, I added Sony's system for third-party lens group selection (Tamron & Sigma). The operability is still second. , on the contrary, after long-term use and comparison, I feel that the Nikon system is better at capturing light and color in the Raw format for shooting landscapes, and has greater flexibility in post-processing.
