Landscape Photography Tips and Vlog with James Popsys

I'm with James Popsys in Norway and we made a vlog about landscape photography tips.
James' Photography Channel: / @jamespopsysphoto
My Instagram: bit.ly/BvSInsta
I was going to call this photography vlog "landscape photography tips when the light isn't amazing". But then out of nowhere we got pretty epic light. So, instead I've thrown in some general landscape photography tips you can kind of use in any situation.
It's also fun to introduce to you guys James Popsys who is joining us for vlog series here in Norway. He's a great photographer and overall good dude, so you check out his vlog here on KZread.
Over the next couple days, there will be more landscape images and vlogs from here in the Lofoten Islands with James Popsys, o be sure to tune in and subscribe.

    For what it's worth, I guessed correctly. I think James mentioned somewhere (Twitter??) that he was going to be in Tromso. Thought it was just coincidence. A rare time to see James with a tripod is while he's vlogging. Otherwise, he avoids them for most everything. Love his humor. You've got some bangers there. Rock on!

    I've been noticing that you have been enjoying taking more black and white photos lately since that challenge Jodie gave you back in Patagonia! The photo near the end of the video looked really cool. One advantage of the midnight sun is that when you have finished sunset photography, you absolutely cannot miss photographing the sunrise!

    Popsys' usual photographic advice is things like "Tripods are overrated" or, "Always shoot sheep". Great set of images; you've grown so much as a photographer since I subbed several years ago. Big fan of Popsys too.

    Woah what a beautiful location!! Some great tips! I could have used this video last week! I was in Northwest Scotland (Assynt) at some eye-wateringly beautiful locations but the light wasn't great. I was lucky to have a local (brother of a good friend) who is a landscape photographer bringing me to his favorite secret spots! I feel like I didn't do the locations justice but it was a trip of a lifetime for me!!

    Yes, my two favorite landscape photographers together at last! Excellent video except I’m not sure if it’s my phone or the edit but those title transitions where you advise “shoot the mood” or “fill the frame” we’re centering into the corner for some reason. 🤷🏽‍♂️ Still another excellent video, Brendan!

    If you decide to not go home till after the sunset, you will be there till some time after July! Possibly even August.... Which reminds me of a silly joke: An Eskimo husband comes crawling home, after a very wet night out. His wife is standing by the door, impatiently tapping a foot on the ground, and asks him sarcastically "Do you know what time it is?? It's quarter to August!"
