"Any day out with the camera is better than not going out at all" I will remember this, such a great quote and a great video for beginners like myself, thank you

great, at last a video which deals with the British weather 9 days out of ten. invaluable Ian

I like both images and I prefer the long exposure one

I like Number 1 of the black and white shots. I think it nails the ethereal look you were after.

I live for overcast days. Bray man living stateside now, I return once a year for 2 months at a time, but only in winter, Dec Jan or Jan Feb. Blue sky days are my least favorite. I get some crackin shots when it's shite weather.

Number 2 for me, as an old, and I do mean old, surfer. Long exposure surf shots are definitely not my cup of tea. As I've said before, I am truly envious of the wonderful variety available there along the coast in Wales.

I live in Seattle, and this is my 3rd year of photography. We've been having what feels like more grey days than usual, so this is quite inspirational. Thank you!

I really like both, but #1 was my favorite, the long exposure calming effect.

That tide on second photo looks very calm.

Good advice Ian! Nonetheless I prefer some stronger light, maybe somehow softened by fog, even for such structured motivs on tree barks and rocks. Or direct light to play with shadows.

No.2 looks perfect

Shot number 2 is my favorite. The waves are more dramatic giving the image a sense of tension that the first image lacks.

No 2 is the best. You can see the splashing in the cliff opening and the waves is not too soft but still motion.

Great tips, Ian. I prefer No. 1. Love the contrast of the green seaweed and the red rocks.

No. 2 has more interest in the right side of the frame.

It’s certainly true that if we only captured images when the light is “perfect” we’d never actually take any. Just work with what you’ve got. Isolating details is a really useful tip.

I prefer shot #1. The water is creamier and there’s more breathing room in the photo. The last shot was cool. The vertical frame allowed for the leading lines of the water to the cliffs in the distance. Question: Why did you choose 1/3 sec instead of a longer exposure to make the water in the foreground more creamy? Thanks for your response, and thanks for the videos. Good work.

Wonderful images, thanks for sharing!

Ian Worth, I really anjoy your videos even though they seem short but because they draw the viewer in I don't notice the time at all. Your explanations are to the point of what you are doing or prepare to do and that is very good it allows the viewer to stay focused, The image by the sea I like the horizontal one where it shows most of the landscape. Great videos as usual. Cheers from Oregon USA.

Brilliant video. Definitely some of our favourite places, But never look at them in that light before 👍

Nice one Ian. Just the sort of information i was looking for. Good old british weather aye. Inspiring.

No 1 is my preference for the sense of calm as others have said. I cant help feeling the crashing wave not so suited to the soft effect. Personal pref of course. Loving the videos, thank you.

I prefer #2 because it illuminates the arch better.

Number 1 for me!

Love both, but if I had to choose, 1!

For me number 1 is the winner. The rectangular form is better than number 2. Great shots anyhow.

I like No 2 with the wave action.

Thanks, really nice video. Sometimes its nice just to be outdoors regardless of the weather :)

I would take three shots of the rocks & ocean. First is freeze shot of the water hitting the rocks, then semi-blur, last is smooth wave. All taken from the same position. Then get them printed 8x10 for each print, and framed in one, large photo frame. I would also bring a macro lens and take close-up pics of the water on the seaweed. Maybe use a flash too.

Number 2 looks much better, because there are a bit more details compared to the (much too) misty shot in number 1. But ;-) I would have chosen the cliff's edge myself, which was pretty visible in the video before you took the photos. Anyway, nice video and good tips.

As tempting as it is to go mono in flat light, I often find the subtle hues of nature more interesting, as in your seaweed shot. Also, when shooting fine details (such as bark or leaf veins, especially if there's some transparency in the leaves), I like to go high key and let the sky blow out, providing a neutral background and further helping the details to stand out. Side lighting of course brings out the bas-relief, especially as nature's softbox morphs into the Klieg light in the sky. Re the two images, let's just say that I rarely carry a tripod (or NDs). IMO, long exposures are way overdone and only rarely result in better images, especially with moving water and/or clouds, as you lose the interesting textures and dynamic nature of the scene. I've used much faster SS to freeze water droplets, but sometimes moderate speeds work very well (such as the 1/3 s in the second shot--I also prefer the lower aspect ratio).

I like #1 ❤

I loved No 1. This was a wonderful and inspiring video, where I live we have grey misty winters and although I do go out a few times a week camera in hand I am with a friend and we are walking and I hate to hold her up. Maybe I will try harder. I actually had a shot of the tips of the winter branches very much like yours. I have subscribed and look forward to catching up on your videos.

That first shot was interesting to me as I probably would have chosen to shoot it in black and white. But, I like the colors you got. I noticed a filter on the 70-300 in that cliff face shot. Was it a polarizer or ND? As for the two images, I think I prefer the long exposure. Thanks for these cool examples! Have a great weekend.

Open landscape, as you said doesn't work without the light. The problem I have always had are the detailed shots, tree bark etc. don't cut the mustard. Which is why I don't shoot macro. While can't appreciate the skills in focus stacking to get that thin depth of field, detailed shots like your tree bark image would go in the recycle bin. Any image I take must have the potential to be a print that will stand the test of time on the wall.Good job we don't all like the same things. I prefer image 2 as that has energy and flow.

@ian_worth

5 ай бұрын

Not every image we take has to be a master piece. The joy of being outside and being immersed in the environment is what its all about for me.

A bit of colour enhances a photo on a dull day. However I'm not into patterns in three trunks, rocks etc..

No 2 for me but they're both good. I would imagine those steps would be pretty painful for a dog walking down them.

Ian, they are both great photos. Very tough decision but I have a slight penchant for No2, there is something catching my eye, strangely I'm not sure what, it's just that little "je ne sais quoi" feeling that attracts me to it. Do you get that feeling sometimes? Great work.

No 1

Number 1, because it has more atmosphere, including an edge to edge assortment of foreground rocks. It's just a more composed image. 2 is fine but more snapshot-like. I know I'm outvoted, though.

For me the long exposure in No.1 takes away the energy present in the scene. I can't help thinking that a giant spider has created a massive web over the landscape.
