I'd love a video about how you did the 4 photo stack print.

Thanks for everything you do, learning so much from you! 🙏🏻

And obviously I don’t need to point out your photos are wonderful

This wave „phenomenon“ u were talking about is called ‚backwash‘ :)

Best Notification all day

As a passioante amateur, I love these videos man! One of the best accounts out there for tips and advice, keep up the good work!

I love that you're printing all of your work, such inspiration!

Stunning! My most favourite of your videos, ever! Thank you, Nigel.

Such beautiful light on the waves, gorgeous shots

Thank you for the great tips Nigel. Always appreciate the advice given

Some great images at the end, there - one of the better actual photographers on KZread these days

Wow your photography is amazing such an unique majestic atmosphere on it

Absolutely brilliant photos

Stunning wave shots, that light ! Great video!

Your work is masterful. Always.

Tip 1: move to a place that has a very beautiful seascape xD

Thank you for sharing Nigel. 🙏

Love your videos, very informative. You've inspired me to take up photography again in a personal capacity. I've learned so much from you that helped me better and enhance my photography both for work and pleasure. Keep the videos coming, and take care.

Spectacular Shots. Well done.

Oh my, the pictures brought tears to my eye, they are so beautiful.

As ever, fantastically useful video. The backlit wave shot is simply stunning, inspired to get to the sea ASAP! 👍👏

Patients, something we all need to have more of. Thank you for sharing this amazing place Nigel, truly stunning scenery . Hope you are staying safe, certainly looking grim for many other places over there.

Way too many patients right now. But patience is a required virtue for photography.

Another excellent and informative video. Fantastic photos.

Love your work ❤️

Really beautiful video and great tips, Nigel!

Rachel is one of the very best, if not THE best, seascape photographer in the world. Amazing body of work.

As a beginner in photography, I am learning a lot from your channel and the one from Mads as well. Some family members mentioned some kind of improvement in my photos but I am still frustrated not getting the shots I would like. I am working even harder, getting inspired by your work and I hope one day, I will get one picture I will be proud of. Your shots are stunning and seeing all of the preparation behind is, again, inspiring. Definitely, a huge thank you and I can't wait to a second book of yours, Vistas being awesome. Thanks for everything even though we don't know each other !

Stunning place shots and thx for all the tips !!!

Great video once again! Really like your work and the time you put into making a single photo. Keep up the great work!

Appreciate seascapes so much more after seeing and hearing you here. Thanks, so much!

Can't beat some good seascapes, thanks for sharing!

Excellent video, you are a new discovery for me but I'll be catching up on your videos in the coming weeks. Some great tips. I'm off for my first seascape exploration tomorrow!!

Awesome video Nigel, Thank you for information and amazing photos.

Amazing shots.. Thanks for the tips.

I always learn so much from your videos, Nigel, and I loved seeing the stunning light and great captures from this beautiful place! This location will have to go on my “wish list”!

That shot prima. WOW.

All the prints you show in this video are incredible, but that Prima one is something really special. Wow!

Really helpful tips thank you Nigel

Another great video and very useful tips. I especially loved the backlit waves.

a wonderful video, very personally presented and as usual, fantastic images! Thx a lot, make this difficult times easier!

I live in a coastal town in East Yorkshire so these are some great tips for me. We have many caves and sea stacks so thankyou for these. You've motivated me to get back out shooting these. Sounds silly but I guess you get tired of shooting what's on your doorstep, but now I want to get back out!

We just get use to our local landscapes. I love the excitement wich comes with exploring new location. But at the same time many of my favourites images were taken locally - I just spend so much more time near home than surrounded by great vistas

Nigel, another great educational video. May the lockdown soon be lifted.

Gorgeous video, epic images. Wonderful!

Thank you very much for your job. Keep doing it because we learn a lot of photography in your videos.

You're so talented dude. Love your channel and work

So that's some of 2022 calendar sorted then! Lovely images Nigel

Thanks Nigel This is one of your best vids. Really enjoyed the tips. And Madeira is on my bucket list now!

Some really good tips. I especially appreciate the discussion vis a vis shutter speed and the type of seascape being shot.

Thank you for sharing your experience.

I got some great shots in Madeira to. Rachel has an article in this months Outdoor Photography magazine - issue 264. Cover has a great wave shot.

Lovely video Nigal, very interesting, and calming, thanks for sharing.

phenomenal last part of Madeira trilogy. Amazing photos, great tips - all of them. I have been to Madeira 8 years ago, but now seeing your videos, i want to go there back again.

Thanks for those tips Nigel. As we are in lockdown I have been going down to the rocky Berwickshire coast near my home, last week I took hundreds of photos and managed to acheive quite a few gems! The next time I am out I will put your tips into practice and see if there is an improvement in my photos.

lovely video and some inspirational advice to put to good use too

This video is marvelous. I would very much appreciate it if, at some point in the future, perhaps, you were so kind as to consider sharing your vision of and ideas about photographing ponds, rivers, lakes, and wetlands. Thank you for the inspiration and for revealing what pure professionalism in photography is.

Once again so fantastic images and so much to learn about your style of photography. I am big fan of your style and you are always inspire me, by using your tips!

Nigel saying: “I could actually throw a pebble into the Ocean” My first thought: “Please do not throw Pebbles into the Ocean” 😁 Thanks for another great video! 👍

I worked out a main reason I look forward to your videos so much. Your actual content and photos are amazing, of course...but it's how you present everything more as a chat than something more formal. Like you could've cut out the part about the dynamism of the waves, and it seems like you decided midstream that you were going to show photos on the iPad (rather than the prints you had ready to show). I really appreciate your effort to pull us in as if you're talking directly to us, rather than posting a video on a massive social media platform.

Loved this video, I live across the road from the beach in North Wales you’ve given me some great ideas, as always thanks Nigel and stay safe

great work, well done!

Such beautiful images with great tips too. I love doing seascape photography and was hoping to focus on it this winter, however due to covid that hasn't been possible. That light was gorgeous when you were on location too, what more could you ask for. Brilliant video.

Excellent as alway thanks for sharing.

Useful tips. Two especially for me. Great images all around. I really loved the capture of those waves crashing. And I must say I was really taken with Rachael's shell on the beach. That is one beautiful image. For me it is a great reminder to not be stuck in one mode to the point of not noticing something rich right under my nose. Thank you, Nigel.

Thanks I really enjoyed this and once again learnt some more tips

Absolutely stunning...

Thank you so much for this video. I am leaving in the morning for Oia, Spain, a coastal town on the western coast. Will be spending a month and hope to get some wave photos at sunset.

My words fail me in describing the beauty of your work. And your always cheery disposition and positive attitude makes me look forward to your videos. That and you are an excellent teacher. Your work is stunning. Thanks for the time you put into sharing with the rest of us. Best wishes to you for the new year,. John in NJ, USA.

Great inspiring video in which you are sharing your knowledge to capture light and motion into wonderful images.👌

Fantastic wave photography. Rachael's tips certainly are invaluable. I am taking notes and learned from both of you. Had a full day of shooting waves and the beach, but still need more refinement and improvement.

I love all your videos and have been learning a lot. But, being a native of Madeira island, well....makes this special. Thanks for doing justice to this amazing island.

Beautiful video and photos Nigel! Seascapes are a bit hard to photograph, thank you very much for your tips!

Beautiful shots,

That print at 17:37 is my favourite 😍! Thanks for the tips😁

With waves like that I half expected Racheal Talibart to come swooping in with the zoom lens :) some epic scenery in this video Nigel

Such a great video Nigel - it must have been so therapeutic being there for a sunrise like that too - if I had to pick one genre of photography to do for the rest of my life seascape photography would win hands down, just sadly one I can’t do enough living so far away from the coast 😫 thought all your shots were incredible - and the atmosphere of that location was unreal! Huge fan of Rachael’s work too!

Another great video Nigel! Next stop >> Azores

Thx for sharing! Really inspiring!! Greetings from Germany

Great and inspiring, Nigel. Stuning location and let's hope travelling will become possible soon to go to those spots. Cheers

Going to take on board these tips for sea scapes. I have been practicing with my new ND filter. Wonderful video as always. Thank you.

Stunning photos!! I'm from Portugal, thank you for being in one of our beautiful islands😉🇵🇹🤙

Thanks Nigel, interesting video, great tips and stunning location, view from your room was fantastic too. Desperate to get out again now after lockdown

Thank you! Stay safe.

Wonderful prints Nigel , what a fabulous place Madeira is ! You certainly made the most of your time there

Love your work beautiful!

Great end to the mini-series Nigel and suffice to say, I think you have put Madeira on the photography map. Loved that seascape image with the sea stacks, had an Icelandic feel to it

Great tips! I've been doing a lot of seascapes lately, and your point about height (getting low compared to wave to heighten drama) is very well taken. Such a simple thing, but I'm sure will make a big difference. Re: shutter speed, I find half a sec a bit slow for my taste. The waves get too creamy and lack definition. A quarter or even a tenth seems to work for me. But highly subjective, of course! Thanks man--you do a great job of NOT resting on your laurels. I find consistently helpful tips on your videos, and also much enjoy your quality videography. Really nice setups and shooting.

I loved Madeira, I would love to go back especially after seeing your photos.

90% of my images are seascapes! Love it! Both fast and slow shutter speeds! I often use 1/6 sec handheld with a ultra wide.

Good lessons to follow. Thanks. When I find a great seascape and all the elements are cooperating, I try to remember to look at it in bw too.

Very informative video and some great tips

Thanks for learning

Some great advice Nigel (I really liked the talking about speed settings as I always have issues with them), I also like the the tips from Rachael who I followed on a

Good tips nigel. I especially like the one about the underexposing the crashing wave and not being able to trust the wave pre-brake histogram because as a water goes up the histogram will change and the highlights will be blown out has the water catches the sun.

Wow what a fantastic location, really enjoyed the video, some great tips Nigel, if we're ever able to visit the coast again I'll definitely use them 🤣

Ribera da janela is my fav from yours, the result is awesome.. I was there 3 weeks ago, it was so scary to be there all by myself. How do you go there to such locations and have courage to stay there longer for the perfect shoot. It was like the waves can take me away anytime or the cliffs can slide anytime on my head. Hats off👍

Thanks for another great video and few tips too. Yes seascape is different - water moves and waves changing every few seconds - I always come back with hundreds of images specially if catching waves. Rachael Talibart is amazing, I came across her work when she released her "Poseidon Rising" image - my favourite seascape image of all times by anyone, sorry Nigel :) but your seascape is absolutely fab too.

Brilliant!

Magnifique! toujours très interessant meilleurs vœux a toi 😉

Thanks for great tips

You’ve a stunning collection from Madeira! Cracking video again.
