James, While I will never achieve the level of your art; I love watching and learning from you. I can only improve. And, I can say that you put a lot of 'pros' in their place when they continue to extol the singular virtues of the 2.8 lens--when you have shown the 14-30 f/4 to perform beyond any comparison. Of course it is the photographer! Thank you.

Great video James. Loved all the images. Thank you for being so inspiring.

Fantastic work as always James, you set yourself very high standards and your images never disappoint. The second image, I enjoyed the talk through of how you achieved the brilliant result, superb image blending to create a truly excellent photograph. Thanks as always for sharing what you do, cheers buddy.

Thanks very much. I think setting high standards is important as it helps maintain a consistent quality (hopefully) and helps improvements. The big downside is that it can stiffle motivation and creativity potentially too. So its a delicate balancing act I find. I appreciate the kind words 🙂

Excellent images...really like how you explain each of your shoots. Thanks for sharing...look forward to your next video.

Cheers Kevin. Yeah that wasn’t the easiest to edit. The exposure blend itself wasn’t too hard but controlling flaring was a little challenging 👍

Great video. Liked the way you explained your setup and why, and then what you actually shot.

Thank you. There’s loads more old ruins on my list to shoot. So hopefully I’ll have a lot more to show in the future 🙂

Something was running for dear life on the other side of the valley at 7:29. Nice images!

Solid post, sterling sunburst image, spot-on music choice, and instructive commentary, James. 👍. By this time I thought you would have already photographed all the ruins on the island. Are the sites named in a historical log somewhere - might be useful in naming final images, no? A plus that you did not include the “gate walk-though” in B-roll. Cheers!

Thanks Paul. There are dozens and dozens of these tholtan ruins here. I still have quite a few that I’ve never visited let alone photographed. I absolutely love shooting them. They just ooze atmosphere. Sadly I’m not too good with my knowledge on the site names, I know some but the ones in this particular video I’ve got no idea sadly. Hopefully I’ll visit some more soon 😀

You’ve got those sunstar shots nailed James 👌🏻

Thanks Richard! They turn out nicely on the 14-30. I believe the 20mm 1.8 is even better so that’s on my future wishlist

Two great photos. Fantastic work on the second one. You got it spot on.

hello friend ... good video ... I see that you have a small accessory under the head that helps to prevent the gear system from crashing on the tripod (BENRO GD3WH)... could you tell me where to buy it ... it does not allow to move it in some occasions .... thank you very much in advance

Hi Yvanel, I bought my BENRO GD3WH from WEX online for £159 they always give a great and fast service with a 30 day no quibble return policy, cant fault them.

@@ScoTreVan yes friend ... I have the head ... but I see that you have an accessory between the head and the tripod, which allows the head mechanism not to collide with the tripod ... a light blue accessory that I always see under the BENRO head GDEWH ... where did you buy that accessory?

@@yvanelaravena7112 Ahh I think that is part of the Benro Mach3 Tripod S3 Carb 4 Sect Long, if you click on James Gear link it's sold on amazon, but not sure if you can buy the Blue lock part separately? I too was looking at that part as it looks useful

Hi, the GD3WH is mounted directly to my benro tripod. So there is no additional accessories. Hope that helps 👍

So, no focus breathing in that lens?

Very little. The 14-30 is simply amazing. For its size and weight I believe it’s the best wide angle full frame landscape lens available on any system.
